another unpopular opinion of mine is that i dont think it is helpful to say that rape ruins or otherwise irreversibly damages the victim's life
like i absolutely do not deny that it is in fact a vile crime and the rapist's life should be ruined
however treating someone as "beyond repair" and to nearly condescend like "no wonder you might never fully recover" or idk
if we say that a penis doesnt change a woman's value in case of virginity loss, isnt it fair to say that same applies to rape
again i am NOT saying that rape is not a big deal and victims should just get over it - NOT what im saying
i just think that it would be more helpful with less misery porn and more understanding and reminders that the victim is not "ruined". yeah it was a shitty experience that left scars. it doesnt have to be the end of your life and you dont have to be a perfect victim and be absolutely devastated and heartbroken and depressed because otherwise people will be like "were you really raped?" and "you dont look like a victim"
like seriously fuck these guys. yeah shit happened but im still grooving lol what are you gonna do about it? be mad?
do you see my point

Man I’ve followed you a while and had somehow no idea you were the artist for the Green Rider covers! It’s so fantastic to find an artist whose work you enjoy has worked on something you love.
I find it amusing that followers from different social media sites know me for different things. My early dA followers probably remember me most for those covers (can't believe it's been so long, over a decade in fact). Plus, it's hard to find covers in a sea of random posts on tumblr!
And thank you! It's been an unexpected but welcome journey, and I look forward to working on all future titles in the series. (Maybe I'm being ridiculous but it kinda feels like I cornered the market on winged horses done up in a crosshatch style...)

— IF SHE BLINDED YOU WITH SCIENCE, MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN WEARING YOUR LAB GOGGLES
had the always delightful opportunity to commission the incomparably talented @derelictheretic for a pin-up style portrait of my girl jenna, and when i tell y’all i am in absolute AWE. i have been losing my mind at the gorgeous coloring and all the little details on this from the moment i laid eyes upon it. dean is a genius and a delight to work with, i highly recommend grabbing a commission from him if you ever have a chance! also, alternate coloring below cut as a treat:3 (and you can check out the jestiny pin-up here.)

Hello~! I would love to know how lion hybrid! bakugou reacts when he finally sees you after all those years.
I have a hunch that he reacts to your scent first more than anything 😊😊
(part i here!)
hello !!! and thank you so much for asking !!!
yes, that's exactly what i was thinking too, and what i was going for in my head when i was writing about you getting weaker and weaker the stronger the winds seem to blow your way. I'm not sure how I came up with this, but i imagine Bakugo is so tormented and so disturbed by not being with you that over the years, he's just started constantly scenting as if that will draw you to him somehow.........
Except his scent isn't really.... lustful or homey or attractive to you, much less to anyone, because it's actually DISGUSTING, and reeks (because of his prowess and status) of his loneliness, anger and grief, which is why it's strong enough to waft over the whole territory of which he controls.
As for finally coming face to face... I was imagining that… as soon as you figure out why the smell of the air was affecting you so badly… you immediately try to hide, staying on the outskirts of your new pride to avoid any possibility of seeing Bakugo before you can secure a new pack to help you leave town (and also try to get used to the oppressiveness of living under his scent, which is horrific yet still the scent of your mate, after all)…
At the same time however, being so close to Bakugo after so many years is causing him to react as well, except… he’s not sure why he’s start feeling even worse than usual? He’s gone from his usual irritable and insatiable self to… antsy and nervous? Your leaving left him unstable, alongside the fact that he barely remembers what having a mate feels like in the first place, much less going through a genuine rut… but something is beginning to pool deep in his belly and make him absolutely… feral.
I’m not sure if I like the idea of one of your old pack mates finding out you’ve re-joined and accidentally spilling the beans to Bakugo (kirishima core, even though when he spots and approaches you, you make him swear on his life not to tell), or having him figure it out on his own from stalking the land (he mistook his new urges to protect and save as meaning there was an intruder close by)… but either way, I think it ends up in this huge hunt for you, where Bakugo ransacks the town trying to pin you down and you end up running for all you’re worth.
Really, Bakugo just wants to talk. Wants to know what he did wrong, why you left, what he can do to make you stay and what you can do for him, now, too… but there’s something about his condition—the scruffy mane and blurry eyes and rashy skin—that makes you afraid, sends you back ten years in time and reminds you of the man who didn’t mourn your daughter and caused you to leave in the first place…
But of course, those feelings aren’t enough to stop him from pursuing you… and when he finally manages to pin you down (by physically holding your body after this long exhausting chase. Houses are blown through, water and blood is spilled, skin is torn), it’s just this crazy reunion that’s half hormonal response (your brains: 💥💥⚡️⚡️🌈🌈⚡️⚡️💥💥💥🎊🎊🎉🎉🎊🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊😡😡😡😡⚡️⚡️💥) and half… incomprehensible screaming at each other until Bakugo is dragged away from you by his closest alphas… and nothing ends up being resolved.
(There’s even more drama after that, though, duh!!! Because now you have to adjust being together again as if the both of you aren’t entirely different people now than you were then… but the entire pride is desperate for you to stay and maybe even… re-bond? (Not that you ever stopped being bonded but, you know…) so that they don’t have to live in uncomfortable fear anymore…
Not that Bakugo isn’t planning on letting you go again anytime soon…)

I just have to say I LOVE the Instant Synchronised Murder Faces that Fai and Kurogane are whipping out any time anything even slightly unusual happens. It’s EXTREMELY warranted for where they are, and also just slightly hilarious whenever it’s like… a door opening.
BUT INSTANT SYNCHRONISED MURDER FACES I SHALL HAVE!
I suppose you could say the giant doors they had to open in Koryo were the tiniest bit foreshadowing this moment. Oh it’s even the same battle party too! Sakura didn’t come with them that time either, so it was just the four of them storming a giant forbidding castle controlled by an evil wizard who was watching them magically from a distance.
If there is acid anywhere inside the ruinsI’m allowed to start yelling.
Oh! Also! In Koryo the inside corridor of the castle had a repeating hallway - kind of like a time loop, but a far simpler one. And when they visited the Memory version of the Clow Ruins in Recourt the hallways also randomly changed in size and shape, as if time and space were unstable - which is far more relevant now than it ever was before.
I can't believe they've done this.

i know we are not supposed to talk about that now but he just never got it and will never get it, i’m glad she left
(this was from yesterday if anyone’s confused)
yes, that was kinda my main takeaway honestly. like at first i was a little mad (now i’m just 😒 at most) but it’s so clear based on what he said that he just. doesn’t get it. which is fine because it is what it is but like, wow, he really didn’t get it at all

back in november the autistic burnout caused my usual thinking style to shut down - since then i've not been able to think spatially, i can't connect/edit/rotate things and their connections (like building constellations with data/info points and adding news ones, seeing how they all relate to each other). it's like i can't even think. this has had severe consequences for studying, and it's terrifying because thinking was always so easy and dynamic
anyway idk if anyone else is going through the same shit, but i was given medication last night and as it started to kick in (and before i fell asleep) my thinking came back. so it's not gone. it's just the horrific levels of stress and distress are suppressing it
