#I wrote a paper on this last year

[little-laurance]

Fascinated by the decision to make Laurance's ears and tail orange, it's a great choice and really suits him, but Aphmau's crew tends to stick to color palettes with their characters, and Laurance hadn't been associated with orange since his old Meteli look, and even then it was a much different shade

during the last millenium break “time passes” sequence sylvi mentioned millie bringing snacks for leap from her trips and i thought that was. so sweet

(still sitting & waiting for something terrible to happen to leap. not in a “man fuck this guy” way, just a “i know keith plays a different character later this season and its making me antsy” way.)

leap thoughts from work today. i made the og sketch for this at work. i really didnt get a lot done today...

its like. i know that jack and maybe also art(?) also play different characters but i KNOW clem (possibly s.i.?) is out there. ive accidentally glanced at fanart thats told me as much and im so excited for whatever the fuck is going to happen there BUT he point is theyre around. i dont have any reason to believe the same about leap.

also jack specifically is such a “leaning into decisions/consequences that are terrible for their character” and keith i feel just is not? (the deal with lyke in ep 47 would be an outlier to me. it ruled though. love that for him.) so basically i dont know what would have to happen to get to a point of leap dying. things would have to be REALLY bad, right?

the other option i guess is leap filling the drive clock and retiring and ill feel kind of silly for thinking about this so much if that was the case, BUT i truly dont think that that will happen. like partizan as a season is so. the vibes are DIRE the stakes are HIGH

HE WAS FINE

being cyber stalked sounds insane, scary, and frustrating. hope you’re doing ok

thank you so much. I've had a really tough year and this situation has been a constant undercurrent of it... I've felt like I need to just get over it and deal bc this person was a close friend, but it's been fraying my nerves for a looooong time now. Like i said, I wish them the best in life but oof. I cant handle this anymore

You a Marvel fan.

So are you also a DC fan?

Yup! My favourite live action film is actually “The Batman (2022)” and I can go on for HOURS about this film and how amazing it is

Another favourite film of mine is “The Lego Batman Movie” because of course 💖

But yes, I am both a Marvel and a DC fan

i still remember that during my senior year in high school, we had a new english teacher (we went through english teachers like acid through rice paper lol) who decided that, since we only had roughly 3 months in a semester, it would make more sense to analyze short stories instead of "covering" full novels. we still read novels, of course. but we spent more time going over short stories and poems written by these authors.

as a result, not only did we get to finish more works during the semester (instead of just reading the "highlights" or reading half of the book and watching a movie adaptation for the rest), but we had more time to give thoughtful analysis of the works we went over.

for my sophomore english class, we read 1984 and until i went back and reread it as an adult, i didn't take away much except for the sex scenes in the movie version our teacher forgot to fast forward past.

but in my senior year class, we read one of george orwell's short stories: the hanging. what resulted as a class-wide discussion that was so lively that we almost missed that lunch had started. not only did being able to finish the story and discuss it properly make it feel more meaningful when i went back and read orwell's longer works, but that very story has worked its way into my own writing. whenever i write about death, i think about the hanging. it's so ingrained in me that when i was processing my own anxieties over getting surgery, specific passages from that story were entering my mind. that wouldn't have happened if my experience with this story was limited to a crunchy pdf and a worksheet telling me to "find the symbols".

in that class, we read more complete works than i ever had in an english class before. we only watched movies if there was an adaptational or thematic point the teacher wanted to make -- not as a stand-in for reading the actual book. sometimes i think about where i would be now as a reader and a writer if i had him for more than one semester. because yeah he was fired lol. apparently one of the reasons was that he wasn't sticking to the curriculum by not assigning more full books. also he was a conspiracy nut but that always seemed to come up second. that's a story for another day.

when his replacement took over, we had to read (parts of) a christmas carol. and one of our assignments was a christmas themed word puzzle. one of the words was "coal". it was like watching dead poets society but backwards.

for scientific purposes exclusively i would love to eavesdrop on aziraphale and crowley discussing stephen sondheim’s “assassins” over dinner after premiere

[rindomness]

i think the thing that makes me most powerful as an artist is the fact that i have kept copies in some form or another of almost everything i have made since i started and thus whenever the imposter syndrome is hitting i can look at the literal piles of sketchbooks and notebooks and binders i keep the physical copies of my work in and go oh yeah. ive been working at this for like ten years. and then it just goes away.

anyway i absolutely recommend this as a strategy no matter how cringey it might seem keeping visual evidence of skill progression is an incredible tool against imposter syndrome. voice in your head can't tell you you're faking your skills if you can pull out a literal record of your skill growth against it

writing one (1) stupid cheesy romcom-esque christmas fic per year is a full-time job. tbh

Blank white screen on laptop: terrifying, impossible to write on

Small cute screen of phone: wonderful to write in short bursts

Wide-ruled page of $1 notebook: the possibilities are endless

[oathkeeperoxas]

so apparently in order to "finish" my "wips" I have to "work" on them. it's in the name or something

The reason tumblr user go-learn-esperanto was banned from tumblr live wasn’t because of Minecraft or hole in the wall, it was because tumblr is a representative of Big English and saw the word esperanto and had to Ban before the communists arrived

Guess who finally finished this thesis chapter!!!!
