Hearts Still Beating
post-apocalyptic YA
a few years after a tick-borne zombie apocalypse destroyed most of the world, a treatment is developed that keeps the infected from going feral
an infected teen is in recovery and sent back in the world - to live with her former best friend’s family, since her sister hates her for killing their parents
the best friend now lives on an island community with her parents and adopted siblings, traumatised from what she’s had to do to survive
when the militant group that has control of the island becomes increasingly aggressive, they’re forced to reconnect and work together
f/f, bi MC
#Hearts Still Beating#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#oh the setup for this is so In The Flesh but lesbians (but plot-wise more actiony and. american)#I liked this quite a bit!#good characters and a focus on survival and how they deal with what they did and experienced during the apocalypse#- while still being pretty action-packed and suspenseful.#I did find it random how near the end they still hadn’t apparently figured out that they like each other romantically?#when it seemed like they had clearly established that to each other?#I also found it a little difficult initially to recognise the flashbacks#- this may have been something to do with the audiobook narration not distinguishing it (with even a pause or slight change of tone)#I did find one thing at the end a little silly but I suppose it's a sort of poetic and hopeful way to end it#sapphic books#bisexual books#I kinda wanted a little more with her sister - she comes in more at the end but I would have liked more throughout the book idk

dragon meat, you, and me
#marcille donato#falin touden#farcille#dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#tw blood#tw body horror#tw gore#as a normal farcille fan this revival has been on my mind since i first read it and getting to watch it is like yippee!!#like messy revivals are everything - the consequences that will haunt u for the rest of the time they are alive#the initial hopeful moments where it all seemed well but quickly descend to That not being the case - losing not only the bit of evidence#evidence that your dream may work out but also someone you deeply care about in the process… marcille my Beloved#ofc wholly thruout the journey - at the forefront of it - getting falin back was the most crucial point but so wuickly :(( it was lost#on the other end its crazy to think about the compoments of falin now - human - dragon (dungeon) - marcille’s magic and desperation#the food the crew cooked (digested) - she is made of many parts!!#also i did not realize how medical it feels to draw smth like this. i dont usually explore the inner parts or use a lot of blood#in my work so rendering everything and looking up refs it felt quite magical (?)#ruporas art

The fact that Riz Gukgak (the boy who doesn't know how to take a break, who is deeply afraid of drifting apart from his friends, who "has a hard time connecting to his dearest friends unless he can feel useful") was the one who manifested a creature that forced The Bad Kids to work together again and robbed them of having a proper summer break is so poetic.
#Like the night yorb existing quite literally stems from a bit about his inability to relax on spring break#Plus the night yorb casting Elmville in eternal night. Riz is a chronic insomniac. I get it now#riz gukgak#dimension 20#fantasy high#fantasy high junior year#d20#fh#fhjy#riz gukgak meta#dimension 20 meta#fantasy high meta#fhjy meta#fantasy high spoilers#fhjy spoilers

on a lunch break
#hermitcraft#goodtimeswithscar#my art#sketch#wanted to make the chair resemble one of them safari cars but i think because i went with the funky colors it doesn't read well...#it's still a bit more bulky and rough looking so it's fine#also. if i had a nickel for every time i drew a character eating cup noodles....... it's like. a comfort thing apparently#altho to be fair i was thinking of scar eating something more of a mashed potatoes than noodles 🤔#i associate cupped potatoes with train travel so that's why#btw really like how this one turned out. the pose the colors im quite proud of it

My Sam & Max cosplay I debuted at a local con during the weekend!
#wasnt wearing leg padding in these so sorry sams a bit skinny#sam and max#cosplay#crunchchute art#my art#i could remake the pants and jacket entirely but that would be quite hard actually. i suck at making jackets especially#so those are just thrifted and edited#lots of color differences that bug me but. oh well#pants and jacket arent that different but its noticeable in these pics#as well as maxs hands and feet. theyre slightly lighter as the fabric i used is better quality#but i ran out of the stuff i used on his body etc and i couldnt buy more from that store as they took their sweet time shipping the stuff#oh well. didnt make them for a competition so its okay#im my own biggest hater and my own biggest critic#at the end of the day i made a handful of people really happy and thats all that matters to me#gotta share them every chance i get as i usually just make a cos#wear it to the con and then put it on the shelf#but im too happy with these to just hide them away after#they need a good scrub and after that id like to bring them to another con. next main goal is viecc but thats just a maybe right now

bears for sale @ letterstoear
#i think it's a bit of missed opportunity that sebek is the only bear with pointy eyes bcs his eyes is what makes me think he's really cute ♡#not sure how nice it'd look in real product; but i think it'd be nice if bear floyd and bear jade also has pointy eyes with different angle#twst#twisted wonderland#sebek zigvolt#malleus draconia#lilia vanrouge#twst silver#maybe even leona & jamil too bcs they are quite the mwehehe deep down like ＼＼\\٩(๑`^´๑)۶//／／and sleepy eyes for silver#and aw it would also be cute and more distinctive if riddle's bear had the heart shaped bang like sebek's bolt bang; i think#fanart#i just saw grim plush on the shop page too; lmao omg he's so cute & evil looking#sebek is behaving bcs malleus and lilia bear is on him

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will
#svsss#scum villian self saving system#shen qingqiu#shen yuan#the fact that people think scum villain#-a series that examines and criticizes common tropes in fiction-#is somehow against criticism or being a little hater is wild to me#especially since shen qingqiu never gets punished for being a hater#heck- he's still a little hater by the end of the series#he mostly gets punished for treating life like a play and like he and the people around him are characters#(or in other words- he suffers for denying his own wants and emotions and his own sense of empathy)#I think some of y'all underestimate how much writing/art is inspired by creaters being little haters#like example off the top of my head-#the author of Iron Widow has been pretty vocal about the book being inspired by their hatred of Darling in the Franxx#I think my interpretation of Shen Yuan's transmigration is also supported by the fact that this series is an examines writing processes#side note- though i understand why people say Shen Yuan is lazy and think its a valid take it still doesnt sit right with me#i am probably biased because my own experiences with chronic pain and depression and isolation#but ya- i dont think Shen Yuan is lazy so much as he is deeply lonely and feels purposeless after denying parts of himself for 20ish years#like yall remember the online fandom boom from covid right?#being stuck completely alone in bed while feeling like shit for 20 days straight does shit to your brain#the fact that no one came to check on him + he wasn't exactly upset about leaving anyone behind supports the isolation interpretation too#+in the skinner demon arc he describes his life of being a faker/inability to stop being a faker now that he's Shen Qingqiu#as “so bland he's tempted to throw salt on himself” and “all he could do is lay around and wait for death” (<-paraphrasing)#bro wants to be doing stuff but is stuck in paralysis from repeatedly following scrips made by other people#another point on “Shen Yuan isn’t lazy” is just the sheer amount of studying that man does#also he did graduate college- how lazy can he really be#he doesnt know what hes doing but he at least tries to actively train his students#and he actually works on improving his own cultivation + spends quite a bit of time preping the mushroom body thing#+he's experiencing bouts of debilitating chronic pain throughout all this#but ya tldr: Shen Yuan's transmigration is an encouragement to write and not a punishment and also i dont think its fair to call him lazy

So… how we feeling about these new names?
#ace attorney#ace attorney investigations#aai2#ace attorney posting#ace attorney series#sebastian debeste#yumihiko ichiyanagi#eustace winner#raymond shields#eddie fender#ace attorney shitpost#ace attorney miles edgeworth#this is a look into my brain over the past 20 hours#I’ve finally lost what few marbles I still had#I’m still reeling over the absolute horrendous choice that is. eustace. winner#I think I’ve invented a whole new stage of grief.#a part of my brain is hoping we can pull a Sonic movie and have it changed before September#because COME ON.#EUSTACE.#WINNER.#I quite like Verity Gavèlle - it’s a bit more subtle than Justine Courtney#and I was not expecting Eddie Fender at all but I can vibe with it#(though I definitely prefer Raymond Shields)#but my boy deserves better than EUSTACE. WINNER.#to all folks out there that share the name Eustace I’m sorry for what you’ve had to witness this week.

I haven’t watched Dungeon Meshi, but I always enjoy the dashboard osmosis experience and have a peculiar visual memory. Here is what I believe Dungeon Meshi to be mostly about. No complicating experiences with the text, or indeed character references, fed into this extremely clear vision, which I believe I torrented directly from the astral plane at the same time as the creator was logged on
#dungeon Meshi#I think#features Bilbo#This GUY#and Meshi.#this isopod is mostly what I wanted to be doodling.#interesting to me that#the hobbit’s scarf and jerkin are very clear in my memory#and also the Skyrim helmet#but no idea what This Guy is actually wearing so I think I THINK it’s very cunty bishop#sleeves. you know like lantern sleeves.#I love them actually#it’s interesting what you absorb from#scrolling the dash passively when mutuals are into a new#thing#feels a bit like how AI must feel when consuming and regurgitating content!#also it’s obvious that the creator(s?) have developed a VERY visually distinctive character set that can be picked up on instantly#super unusual for anime right? normally they all have the same face?#so it’s quite cool to scroll past an anime with distinctly different faces in it#not to mention body types
