#I still think that Joke was pretty funny

Wells Wells Wells...(get it? cus Dr. Wells-)

Ok so I might be going insane ever so slightly but I'm fully aware that I'm like actually driving my friends insane.

So I like the Flash right (Specifically the Cw show The flash nerd emoji) Cause he's fast and yk cool, flash stuff! However, I am the only person in my friend group who likes the flash-- the only one who likes superheroes in general! So of course that kinda affects my conversations with my friends.. To be more specific I make superhero references that even I know are lame, and they of course have no idea what I'm talking about.. but then again that doesn't stop me, I even have an example of it;

About a week back I was having a sleepover with my entire friend group, which was fine cause it was just five girls (No I am not a 50-year-old balding man calm down) anyways!! I was in the kitchen with one of my friends while everyone else was just doing whatever on the couch. I remember in exact detail, slowly turning my friend, dressed in a Superman shirt like a 12-year-old, holding a half-full can of rootbeer and saying in the most monotone;

"you think the flash's favourite meal of the day is Breakfast? get it? Breakkk- fasttttt- 'cause he's fast!"

I also remember after that joke I got hit in the face with a family-sized bag of lay potato chips. Good times!

the most gorgeous man I've ever known sent me a drunk voice message hurt that i left my job at the bar he goes to without telling him and adding that he saw me on tv speaking about palestine, which turned into me telling my ex boss to give him my number, and the sober voice message was much worse because this sweet guy just tells me that he's so proud of me and then i can feel him like talking with a constricted throat saying he understands that i left and closes with "from the river to the sea" and doesn't it just suck that some things have no hope of ever beginning and yet still end somehow

"they never dated but they ARE exes" is such a funny relationship for two characters to have. very awkward relationship to have irl tho

dead by daylight-- the game where you can play as steve harrington from stranger things, and can get sent to partake in a match of murder hide and seek at midwich elementary from silent hill, where you can then use a lute to perform bardic inspiration from dungeons and dragons to give a bonus to your teammates, except for the one who is being chased by nemesis from resident evil 3.

Sorryyyy for dropping off the face of the earth; got kinda shy after that last post but mostly I’ve just been writing though I cannot guarantee that any of that will ever be finished (also I’m very insecure about my writing AAAH). Figure I might as well post the valentines I had done (like two months late lol); interestingly this turned into more of a hand lettering exercise than I was expecting lol

[thedrotter]

In theory I know I should put the 5 most popular tags first, and save personal commentary tags last

sooooo... *twirls her hair* how many asks should i send until kuwagami art. jk as well. the real question will be: does it happen often that someone else’s art inspires you? in fandom spaces specifically

well you see it’s like a loyalty card program, every 10 asks or so you get a complimentary kuwagami

just kidding you can just breathe in my direction and I’ll be tempted to draw them. kuwagami blast! (you've caught me on a... just okay art day lol)

(people still like kabedons, right?)

anyway for my actual answer: in terms of direct inspiration, it doesn't really happen much? the last two times i did art directly based on someone else's work is probably this one from this fic, and also that time i drew art of someone else's judgment au. oh! and there's that moriohpsycho art based on this comic! (filthyguts' work is so very. hgngngghh. very good.) nothing else really comes to mind, and when i think of the other things i've been into recently there hasn't been as much opportunity for that to happen...

flex and herds = strong fixation but lmao. almost nobody else made stuff about them. nobody is surprised umineko = surprisingly i don't read much umineko fanfiction? and in terms of illustration, i certainly picked up imagery and indirect inspiration but nothing concrete enough for me to give an example... now that i think about it, i did once draw andromalius from redaction/sunny, but that was years ago, and also mostly because i was acquainted with the writer. ...i don't have that artwork on hand right now death note = didn't really get involved with the fandom + i enjoyed my own ideas well enough! ...i can't recall if i drew long-hair-L art before or after seeing other artists do it. and as for everything else the same kind of reasoning applies. didn't really get involved with the fandom or wasn't really compelled to make art in response to stuff i saw, or i just don't remember anymore.

buuuuuuut if we're opening this up to just... pulling ideas from other people? then yeah, all the time, though that kind of goes without saying when you have a creative hobby. ...it's probably going to be hard to come up with examples of this since it's more ambiguous.

there's uhhhhhh... kuwana listens to nickelback which was a @/four-white-trees invention, wasn't it? (EDIT: and @/overdevelopedglasses!) (not tagging in this post so he doesn't feel obligated to read my big ass ask responses 💀) as of writing this, it's not posted but i did end up making kuwagami art based on a nickelback song so. yknow. there's that LMAO

for sawashiro and arakawa, i do sometimes go reference @/todayisafridaynight 's art to help me with my own. ("how did he draw this part of the suit? oh, like that huh? hmm" <- this kind of thing)

and um. i'm not trying to pander to you (at least not this time), but genuinely it's one of the few examples that come to mind at this moment. but when i was writing my first kuwagami fic, i could feel the influence of the ever-changing on my brain... was turning over some of your ideas there...

you remember this? (you even pointed it out in your comment on my fic, and i should've said something then, but whatever i'm saying it now)

that was absolutely because of this

(obligatory poke at anybody else reading this post that you can read passthroughtime's fic here.)

so, um. yeah. not really sure what else to add to that. pretty self evident i think. (i'm always talking about the ever-changing but i don't think i can overstate the impression it left on me at the time)

anyhow there aren't really any other examples off the top of my head! these are all recent examples so they're not so difficult to recall, but there are probably others i've forgotten...

Friendship is the most special thing in the world because no award could be give me bigger happiness than jumping around in my room and smiling because my pookie asked me if I wanted to match pfps

we can't ever discuss which minor celebrity ive just decided is really hot and inexplicably started deliberately seeking out posts from on instagram

[yardsards]

listen. it should have been a fantasy dollar general instead of a fantasy costco. costcos are only ever built in like, places where it Makes Sense to see businesses like that, i.e. on the outskirts of large cities. dollar generals on the other hand? those things seem to pop fully formed out of the ground -as if from mycelium- in places where you LEAST expect to see any kind of business, least of all a chain store. you could convince me there was a goddamned DG in death valley and i would not even question it. if any business were to manage to build a location on a secret fake moon, it would be dollar fucking general. thank you for your time.

the thing abt mizu is that she is extremely non-binary in such a genderqueer way that she has homoerotic energy w men and extremely sapphic energy w women.
