I'm not sure how Nightflyer and Soundblsster met Sparkplug, but I guess they met her at Earth.
So I'll do my interpretation of how Nightflyer and Soundblaster got on Earth.
Nightflyer was at the palace as usual, going to his berth after he finishes all work for the day he overhears from his sire's chambers about space bridge and how it can take someone to a different planet.
Interested, he begs and pleades Soundblaster to help him try the space bridge, which Soundblaster soon agrees with, using this as an opportunity to get rid of Nightflyer.
So they sneak out and go to the room where the space bridge is kept, and they eventually find it after a few miss ups at which room is it and knocking a few guards or less.
They tried using the space bridge, but it went wrong, and they both ended on the same planet called Earth. They ended up in different places, Nightflyer ended up in the same forest where Optimus first arrived and met Spike, and he's amazed by Earth's beauty while Soundblaster ended up in near fancy human city as he wondered where the living FRAG he ended up.
And that's pretty much it. You can tell me how they actually ended up
Also, I think Nightflyer and Soundblaster would love Earth and its culture.
Nightflyer like Optimus from idw comic and maaaaaaaybe Repunzel from Tangled would fall in love with Earth's beauty and its creatures and plants since he never saw that back Cybertron where everything's metal. To his, this would be a dream come true since, like you said, he's into mutants and plants.
Soundblaster wouldn't like it at first, but then he sees humanity's arts, creativity, literature, museums, and many more humanity has to offer. Like Nightflyer, this would be a dream come true to him, too, since he's into art and literature.
.
.
Bonus: Back on Cybertron, Starscream and Shockwave panicking where the living Primus where their sons went and screaming at anyone while Slipscream tries to eat her energon cereal.
Anyway i really love your ocs and I wish to know more about them. I really love how you have progressed the story so far. I love it.
Actually the real answer is a good bit different, however I love the story you made, It was vary fun to read!
This is how it really went down.
Shockwave chose Nightflyer in particular to be the one to go to earth undercover, he did this because he knew that Night was so loyal to his family, that he wouldn't change sides if need be (this would be proven right later). Nightflyer was absolutely mortified when he was told that he needed to go to earth, not because he didn't like earth, but because he would have to go alone to make the plan look believable. Also he would have to purposefully crash his ship on the planet... but the alone thing was more of priority for him.
He dose make it to earth and makes the ship crash, making it look like he desperately trying to escape from Cybertron. He would be found and taken to the Autobot base (after checking him for tracking devices) where he would be questioned and checked to see if his arrival would bring more enemies to the planet. He was kinda blacked out for a while (because of the crash) when he was sent to Ratchet's med bay to undergo an emergency check up. And who just happened to be the reluctant medical assistant on hand? Sparkplug. She really had to fight her dad in order to stay and help with the exam (she really wanted to be part of something exciting, and a random hot guy falling from space was definitely exciting).
They properly met during tryouts for being put on a mission team. Nightflyer passed well (however he needed to hide his full potential as to not tip off that he was part of the Cybertonian guard). Sparkplug on the other hand passed with shockingly flying colors for a bot her size, however was immediately turned away by Megatron (this is because Sparkplug has been training most of her life to be qualified for off base missions, however is shot down by her dad each time at the qualifying tests. Like her late father, she's not one to take rejection lying down, so she has trained for years and gone to every try out. Much to Megatron's dismay, this has only forced her to get stronger then she would have been if he had passed her earlier).
At first Sparkplug is kinda spiteful against Night simply because he was able to go on missions despite being so new to the autobots, however something makes her look at him differently... she notices he's lying. She has no idea what about but she can feel it, something about his story is too perfect, he's moving up the ranks too quickly and cold outer shell doesn't fit with someone who wanted to break away from his original faction. So when she finds him in the library one night, she corners him, and he breaks... but not fully. He reveals his true personality to her, but not his mission. He is vary genuin about how he feels trapped by having to mask all the time, that no one would take his seriously if he was himself, and how he genuinely felt oppressed by the "the strong rule the weak" mentality of the Decepticons. In return, Sparkplug opens up about her strange existence and confusing expectations people have for her. That she needs to be a replacement but not a copy, to have prime's kindness but none of Megatron's anger, love herself for being special but listen to everyone talk about how freaky her existence is. And after that night... Sparks start to fly between the two.
Soundblaster met Sparkplug in the middle of space.
Eventually the time comes and the seekers (slipstream and company) show up on earth and it's revealed that Nightflyer was a spy the whole time. And a dangerous one at that, actually able to go up against a good amount of the autoboots. This breaks Sparkplug's heart because she talked to Nightflyer a LOT, she had no idea if any of that was real or not. It didn't help his case when he immediately sided with his sister, going back to being a deception due to his loyalty to his family.
However during this shit show, who arrives but the DJD, taking advantage to the situation to try and take Sparkplug in order to make her a new Megatron. Seeking a chance to be praised by Shockwave, Soundblaster is able to grab Sparkplug admits the chaos (capturing the last remints of Optimus prime would be extremely useful in manipulating the public or just making a super weapon) . However due to a mix of Skywarp's powers fucking up along with Slipstream's (she has the same power's as Skywarp), Soundblaster and Sparkplug are warped halfway across the universe. This now forces our characters to try and find Spark before anyone else can.
When coming to, Sparkplug is absolutely livid at Soundblaster and immediately attacks him. But due to the situation, they reluctantly come to an agrement, get somewhere where they can get back to Cybertron or earth, then fight about it then. This forces the two to work with one another to try and make it to intergalactic space station without dying. During this time, Sound only communicates through mores code, never speaking once. However him and Sparkplug have a good amount of conversations, slowly opening up to one another. They really hit it off when Sparkplug is able to relate to Soundblaster, but admit that he defiantly had it worse then her (nightflyer on the other hand saw himself and Soundblaster as equally out cased despite the huge power discrepancy). She's able to see him for who he is, what he was supposed to be, and who he wants to be... and this makes Soundblaster throw away his loyalty to the decepticons and decide to be loyal to Sparkplug herself.
OH MY GOD this was a long post, I could go on but I need to stop myself before this becomes an essay.

would any of y’all be intrested in me posting about a fanfic I may have a half basis for? It’s Grishaverse and the plot is basically ‘Everything after shadow and bone but I added an oc of mine that is a child (15) and Boy Do I Want To Traumatize Her and make her relize this fantasy world she admired and glorified isn’t what it seems and is actually the horror of her own world.’
that and she gets adopted by someone (who idk yet.)
by half figured out I also mean I have her description, a basic plot, some scenes, and what I wish her to accomplish.
#I just kinda wanted to put an oc into the story#Because one why not#Grishaverse#that and it’s gonna be HILARIOUS writing her pov for like every chapter#Like half the thoughts I want her to have are ‘where the fuck is the Darkling and what reaction would he have to me showing him fanfiction#Of himself’#She might not do that tho#Aleksander doesn’t need that#I can confirm she may have like a younger sister dynamic with someone#or multiple someones#Idk yet

Introducing more characters for my HTTYD/The Deep story! Only this time it’s supporting cast! I’ve decided there’s three overall casts in the story. The main cast (the dragon riders and their dragons, whose story and travels this lengthy project follows), the secondary cast (all their allies and enemies; Eret, Dagur, Heather, the Berkians, the Nektons, etc, etc.) who are there through most of the story, but not all of it. They’re pretty involved, but not every character is there for every episode. And then there’s the supporting cast. Minor characters. Characters a step up from background characters. They show up for a few episodes every once in a while, not near as often as everyone else, and they’re not as important to the overall story as the main and secondary casts, but they have names. They’re involved in certain arcs and episodes, but don’t repeatedly show up throughout the story like say, Dagur, Eret, Heather, the Berkian teens, and the Defenders and Wingmaidens.
But without further ado, here’s who I’ve got so far
And some closeups of each person, cause I like doing so
#most of these people are from the Archipelago#scarl and clueless have been mentioned a few times in prior posts but everyone else is new#Laika and Ila don’t show up until much later. more RTTE era#so does Abel. but I’m thinking about having Ingrid pop up earlier than planned#Agatha and Scarl are part of my belief that HTTYD needs more big beefy ladies#so i made big beefy ladies#some of these designs might get tweaked as I draw them more#(specifically Ila. definitely Ila. more so her clothes at least)#but the goal for the supporting cast is to expand on pre-existing tribes beyond the five people at best we meet in the show#i want to expand on other regions and tribes of this world#beyond the few people that we meet from them#people are INVOLVED. they’re not just nameless faces in the background to the main characters stories#the deep 2015#the deep cartoon#httyd#httyd/the deep crossover#httyd oc#the deep oc#Ingrid and Abel are actually the deep OC’s i put into the story#mostly because they’re central to another OC’s story#but this was my first time drawing them#(Ingrid was a nightmare to design lemme tell you)#Abel was embarrassingly easy#i kinda want to draw little doodles of these characters too#just to furhter expand on them and understand them#is there a tag limit on Tumblr? if so I’m sure I’ll be the one to find it I can’t help but ramble in the tags

Some OCs that started as a silly fan project but then took on a life of their own.
Imagine if Charmed and The Craft and Just Add Magic had a baby and the baby is a story about three 90s teens who are brought together by tragic circumstances and mysteries to solve. also they're witches. Surprise!
#my art#my ocs#the details of the story are still p vague and subject to change#they were originally a Just Add Magic fan project!#but I want to put them in their own world instead#Winnie is the main character and her mother is missing#the original plan was the three of them were in foster care together but that seems kinda hokey#I don't really know a lot about foster care either I don't wanna perpetuate anything#there's a fourth main character who's the Resident Adult#her name is Auntie Vee (short for Vera)#she's also a witch (and their foster mother?) and she mentors them#idk I like making little guys and putting them in situations

I'm feeling the overwhelming urge to make an animatic for "Take Me to War" about my Fallen London Shadowy alt.
#fallen london#the crane wives#tbh i mostly want to make it because my shadowy (umbra) and persuasive (the silverer) alts have a...complicated history#to put it lightly#and it sounds like something that'd be playing in umbra's head as she tries to shank the silverer for the third time that week#there's a lot of crane wives songs that'd match up with my fl ocs tbh#which is slightly concerning#ribs sounds like it'd be the theme for the determined sister (dangerous alt)#and the well for the melancholy correspondent (watchful alt)#safe ship harbored would probably work for the silverer#tongues and teeth is also probably be a good one for umbra too#the song i associate with my main is a different story though#because i'm torn between 'bitter water' by the oh hellos and either 'feed the machine' or 'good people' by poor man's poison for them#bitter water because it's a pretty good encapsulation of their perspective on the surface#they miss the sun and want to return but know that if it doesn't kill them first then their enemies will#feed the machine because they're just. kinda like that#and good people because they're probably the only one of my ocs that hasn't completely given up hope in humanity#and they're the one in the best position to actually help since they're the one i've been playing the longest#someone please ask me about my fl ocs#i have a lot of thoughts about them

Beep Boop New OC Alert!!!
Meet my new guy! A fairy med student who's probably seen some shit. He's very tired, very chill, and might have more scars at some point but I haven't quite figured his whole deal out. tbh I kinda hate giving characters scars for no reason but this guy might actually need some. I was struck with inspiration to make him like this wikipedia image of an ember and well you can't just ignore easy thematic inspiration like that can you?
#oc art#my art#oc artwork#ocs#my ocs#oc#original character#original art#sketches#concept art#doodle#geez how many tags can I put on here it's almost like I want people to see my art or something#ALSO: This guy's relevant to the story of my other OC's#kinda appears halfway through but he's very important#tbh I've created a whole fae nation that's very important because their concept was just so cool#Might make a post about them later

#hey look it's Lyoka's ancestor#why yes I did have a Speed Racer OC who was also an idealized self-insert. that's just how childhood hyperfixations go don't they.#kinda want to redesign her and give her a whole new story with a very different dynamic with one's car.#but gotta respect the roots either way.#art tag#btw if anything this is a prime example of the fact that I'm consistent#that was one of my first coherent drawings with plot and full effort put in#and immediately I made her dirty and bloody

tell us more abt sam and val plsplspls they are the backbone of our society i love hearing abt them
ofc ofc!! i love talking about them lmao
The story itself is called Retrograde and Sam and Val are the two main characters!
(Brace yourself it's kinda long!)
Val:
Personality wise he's pretty reserved, doesn't really say much unless needed, he's more open with people he's close to
Though he may look moody, he's actually just awkward
Currently he's working as a bounty hunter to pay his rent and keep the license but really it's just a title and he just goes around accepting odd jobs that pay him
He doesn't kill people so he instead chooses to beat them up real bad and turn them in
Val isn't his real name, it's just a nickname. Barely anyone knows his real name aside from one or two people.
Doesn't have the best past (original i know but its plot relevant) but he's working through his mistakes and trying to make amends with himself and others
He was found drifting in the river on the verge of death but was miraculously revived by a doctor who ran a small clinic nearby
He got into bounty hunting because he could get a license that works as a valid form of id so he can rent an apartment and have a bank account while also being able to hide his identity (loopholes)
His eyes are actually not normal and are in fact a genetic condition he was born with! He gets a lotta stares and comments for it but he doesn't really care atp
Actually ridiculously good at dancing, he won a lot of competitions for ballroom dancing when he was in highschool and he could've gone professional if it weren't for certain other reasons
Because of his weirdly unique talent, he's really agile which makes him good at close hand combat
He's the one who drives both him and Sam around because he's the only one who has a hoverbike and can drive
Things he likes:
Ballet performances
The spicy shrimp noodles from his favorite thai restaurant
Cheesy romcoms (a secret)
Cats
Driving his hoverbike 30 miles above the speed limit
Things he doesn't like
Fire
Large crowds
Bugs (especially spiders)
People who don't respond to text messages
Messy eaters
Sam:
He's gonna have a longer description cause he's pretty plot relevant for the beginning
He's a pretty easy going guy, in many ways the opposite Val
Easy to get along with, most of the time he's pretty chill so he doesn't find it too hard to talk to people
Not really an extrovert tho, somewhere in the middle but still social if that makes sense
Val found him in an underground cave sleeping in a pod like thing while on a bounty
Somehow he managed to open the pod and wake Sam up, only to find out he has no recollection of anything that's happened to him nor who he is or his name
They decided to call him 'Sam' for now because it was printed on the tag hanging from his left ear
The last thing Sam remembers before waking up is a giant flash and burning buildings
Based on the weird room, sleeping pod, and the weird suit he's wearing, the two figure out that Sam's been asleep for a lot longer than he thought (more than 500 years)
He's actually from the Previous Era, which was an old civilization a lot more technologically advanced than the Current Era but was destroyed by a cataclysmic explosion (wonder what caused it?)
So Sam is technically many many years old atp but is still mentally the same age as Val
As you can guess he doesn't really take this very well
Turns out there was another pod next to Sam's pod that's been opened meaning that he may not be alone
Sam decides he wants to recover his lost memories and find out what happened to him and also find the person in the other pod, or at least what happened to them
Since he has no idea what the current era is like he enlists Val's help in exchange for helping him pay his rent.
He decides to keep his true identity a secret to not draw attention
He's actually really good at fighting and can hold up with Val pretty well so the two become partners
He's got these strange metal implants inside him, the most visible one around his neck which he's a bit self conscious about.
He doesn't know why it's there but it might have something to do with the blue ring above his head
The halo only turns off when he sleeps/lies down but seems to be above his head no matter what (he doesn't like it cause it draws a lot of attention)
His eyes are really unnatural and actually glow in the dark, another thing that freaks him out
His hair is naturally coral pink and not dyed (which is also a bit strange but not as much as the other things in his opinion)
Sam can't really read well, he's not sure if it's because he never learnt to read or the language has changed so much since he went to sleep, he's also not great at math
Kinda thanks to this he's also not great at budgeting and sometimes spends a lot of money on useless things that piques his interest (which causes him and val to do more bounties, much to val's dismay)
Even though he can be kind of an idiot sometimes, he does his best to fix his mistakes and make it up to people
Weapon of choice is dual guns!
Things he likes:
Sweet drinks (he's got a bad addiction to boba, milkshakes, and smoothies)
Arcade games (sucks at the fighting games but really good at rhythm games)
Astronomy (he knows nearly every constellation and its position by memory, it's kinda scary)
Action movies
Things he doesn't like:
Needles
Narrow hallways and closed spaces
Horror movies
Bugs (they're both screwed i know)
Some other fun facts !!
They live together in Val's apartment, they alternate sleeping on the couch and bed since Val felt bad
Even though Val said he'd only help Sam if he helped pay his rent, he actually didn't mind helping him for free and only added that because Sam insisted
Val is the only one who can cook out of the two, however that doesn't mean he's good at it, so they usually just order out most of the time
The world they live in is a mix between futuristic and post apocalyptic, yeah there's still technology but it's not as great as it was before
Part of this was because after the collapse of the previous era, rebuilding took a crazy long time and there was a big power struggle until the current government took control
There was a 4 year long civil war that happened and ended around 5 years before Sam woke up
There's currently a large supply shortage so for the past few decades so some technology has regressed
Their world is technically an alternate universe of our world, the divergent point happened around the late 1940s, I could go into it more but it's not that plot relevant but it is the reason they don't have a lot of today's modern technology despite it being many years into the future
#ok man that was long#sorry i kinda started infodumping there 😭#can you tell ive been keeping this story in my head for 4 years now-#whether sam and val end up as romantic interests depends on how i want the story to go tbh#they work either way#romantically or platonically#ngl if they got into a relationship i don't think they'd change-#maybe this is cause i've never been romantically attracted to anyone so i don't really know how to write romance well 😔#but if you wanna ship them go for it! i don't see why not#hopefully i can put out a comic of them so people can see what they're like#they've been in a few of my most recent animations if you can spot them lol#ty for asking tho <33 i loved writing all this#i never get the chance to just talk about them bc i feel embarassed 😭#original character#oc#oc lore#haliai ask#retrograde ask#retrograde

Yay rpg maker stuff :3. I should make more updates that aren’t just little concept doodles cause I have gotten a couple rooms to work, but eh. The game itself is still in like the getting the whole map figured out stage, then I’ll have to go through and plan where story specific events will happen, what characters appear where, major puzzles, whether or not there will be a battle system, etc etc. but I do have a lot of things down and have figured out how the program works for the most part! You guys get to see the map planning page early hehe, also the little girl character (who I still need to figure out the name of whoops—)
Anyway, these two are some main characters, Layne and Reid. I don’t wanna spoil too much about them, but they are also med school students and test subjects like Miran. Layne is the one with their hair to their right and spiky ends, Reid is the one with their hair over their left eye and a rounder style.
Ok yeah that’s it bye—
#art post#rpg maker 2003#project update#my ocs#original story#art#game project#eee uh idk what else to put um uh#kinda just a hobby rn idk when it’ll get finished#I should probs make tags for the characters included since I’ll probably post about them again eventually#I know not many people really follow for my original stuff but whatever#Layne Sommers#Reid Sommers#Dr. Miran Castle#I still don’t really have a name for the game yet but I have a couple ideas#also the main villain’s design has been HARD to figure out#I want him to look like just a completely average middle aged man and I keep making the design impossible for me to draw consistently 💀💀💀💀💀#it’s gonna be a while till he gets to be posted but he’s a silly (horrible has committed multiple felonies) guy idk#all these characters in these doodles are the survivors tho#I do have sprites for them so I’ll have to figure out how to post those too#and not in a way that people could just take them and start using them wait—#I forgot art theft was a thing for a second there uh#I should put a watermark on all my digital stuff probably augh idk#eventually lol#yeah ok that’s it idk what else to say bye#my phone is overheating whoops—

ok since tears of the kingdom is coming out like. insanely soon i figured i’ll just dump how i’ve been feeling abt it here. i wont tag for them and i dont intend to share any but because i have been actively seeking out spoilers i will vaguely reference them here so… idk really long musings on this game and my feelings abt it
(im just writing this out mostly for myself since i really kind of just. want to really figure out how i feel about this)
i�� am not excited for totk?
i’ve figured out a bit ago that my severely waning interest in botw and general anxiety and discontent surrounding totk is just that… these games arent for me. i dont enjoy open world games with half a million things for you to do like it’s basically a sandbox. i struggle to really enjoy singleplayer minecraft. the space stage in spore gives me genuine anxiety, both when i played it as a kid and again when i reached it as an adult.
botw and totk are not games for me, and that’s cool. i’ve figured that out.
so why am i getting so damn anxious about this new game?
i am getting totk- not entirely of my own volition, i live with someone who is very genuinely excited for it, so it’s pre-ordered digitally on our switch. i am going to play it and complete it at least once.
the gameplay and world of botw never really got to me, and even what snippets of gameplay i see for totk dont really entice me. it just makes me anxious to think about the sheer amount of new stuff i’ll be dropped in the middle of and how i really dont care about this version of link or zelda or anyone else in botw’s hyrule
and some of the story spoiler stuff and general direction this game is going in has me just worried that the zelda series is moving away from what it used to be into an entirely new direction, that being a direction that it seems like i wont enjoy as much as everyone else seems to
so then i guess my main worry outside of totk is that i just end up struggling to really feel connected to the rest of the community about this? being a contrarian is fun until everyone is enjoying something you for some reason can’t get yourself to
i dont have a lot of hope in the story of totk to harken back to… ANYTHING of worth that past games have built up and made to be so important and interesting. hype is a dangerous thing for a not-yet-released game, and while i think the insane amount of speculation and theories and hype around totk will cause a lot of people to be disappointed with the final story, i dunno if i really wouldve liked it even if the story actually piqued my interest
maybe totk’s gameplay will really hook me. maybe i’ll enjoy the massive open world and gmod-ass gimmicks. but what ive seen of the story makes me less interested and the snippets of gameplay i see just make me remember how bored i now am with botw
at the end of the day this is just a video game with tags on this site i can blacklist and videos i can ignore and lore i can brush aside because at this point loz canon is a suggestion more than anything
i just cant shake the discomfort of once again being an outlier as everyone i see loses their mind about this new game while i just feel overwhelmed by it. i have played botw for a long time and have long since worn it out. i played age of calamity to completion and have not touched it or cared for it beyond the music since. i am not excited about totk and i feel like i am in the wrong due to my opinion
#salty talks#kinda personal? just angsting abt totk and being a lil negative abt it#at this point im not expecting it to blow me away. i no longer have fun playing botw. i do not care for the story or characters#this if anything is to soothe my nerves and is for the sake of my own wellbeing to articulate how i feel about this#it is cool to like. put your feelings into words. this is a lot more eloquent than ‘i miss linebeck’#it feels kinda selfish to bitch abt a game thats not out yet and complain abt it not seeming enjoyable to me#but it looks like a genuinely good game. but its not for me. and thats what im ruminating on here#like i love linear stories games that limit you and fun little gimmicks and characters with complex arcs and all that#i played a little bit of skyward sword earlier and was finishing up the cistern dungeon and was so delighted to see the main statue lowered#i love the dungeons with gimmicks that flip everything around and force you to really think abour your next move#im excited to reach the water temple in oot again to swim around and tinker with the water level#i cant wait to finish oot and move onto mm and its wonderful gameplay and areas#id love to revisit albw and get back to playing ph (and maybe finishing triforce heroes idk abt that one i just want the linebeck outfit)#i played botw for like ten minutes a few weeks ago and then put it away without a second thought#so. if anyone wanted to know how i feel abt totk. its a bit alienating#i might blacklist every variation of ze/ink tbh. sayonara you weeaboo shits and your bland fucking milquetoast ship thats kinda irritating#i may delete this bc it errs on the side of being too personal but i really just need to write this stuff downh#anyways. going back to writing my thing abt my oc n linebeck hanging out and being gay

got new oc ideas and hmm..... im wondering if i should even bother trying to make them fit in the fandom i originally made them for, or just have them be in their own universe
#like out of this group the only one whos epithet is really important to them is Willow#IVA it doesnt really matter. and for foxface and the new guy (and also kinda mayhem if im adding her too lol)#i feel like ive mostly been kinda trying to fight the lore to have them be legal? like idk#main reason i put them in ee is to roleplay/plot with friends but h#i kinda want to look for roleplay servers again but the idea i might run into bright in one stresses me out too much#i *am* in one ee server but it is very much dead :(#so mm yeah am thinking just have them be their own story? bc theyre humanoids i dont need to worldbuild a lot#so i could even use them for roleplaying w other ppl#just a gang of nonhumans vibing :)#(btw am specifically talking abt those few characters. im def keeping luci and lyra in ee just bc their epithet *is* a big part of them)#i think im leaving willow there too bc his epithet is more than him being a ghost#and hes inspired by a different character so id rather keep that as a fandom oc than fully original#oc rambles#also kinda#vent

lately I've been desperate to have a friend who matches my freak regarding one piece (especially if it was an existing friend that started watching/reading it so I can get the live reactions) but unfortunately as much as I LOVE one piece, I also cannot recommend it to anyone in good conscience lol...
#One Piece & Homestuck fill the same niche in my brain in terms of being pieces of media I adore and want more friends to nerd out with about#but that are also very hard to confidently recommend to others because they both:#1) are long as fuck (and struggle with pacing/filler at times)#2) contain content that is VERY VALID to criticize and can be off-putting enough to drive people away#3) are of a genre/type of story that isn't really for everyone#I've put my partner through both (I commend him for his patience lol) but even though he enjoyed them he clearly isn't as into them as me#and there's not really anyone in my group of friends who I think would be interested enough to dive in and vibe with me about it#so I'm just kinda over here sitting alone with my thoughts and ideas with no one to really share them with or get into discussions about#this isn't really new (I'm very used to being alone in my interests) but lately I've just been craving a friend I can really geek out with#I know I could try engaging with fandom but honestly OP is so huge that idea scares me (and frankly fandom can be a bit too messy for me)#I guess I'll just keep doodling the characters and writing down ideas and OC stuff and screaming into the void 😅#drew says words#personal.txt
