Ye olde cat boys....

(I'm working on a bigger piece rn, so I colored this sketch in the meantime :DD)

I realized this is basically a more realized version of a sketch from really early boy king days:

Back in 2020/2021 when the dsmp was kicking off and i was an active fan, i was like really going trough it. I told myself i would never miss that period bc it was actually tough. Now, looking back - i would do it again. Go through the period when everyone was cringe and over the top, the time when i would stay up and watch tommyinnit streams, when i was just learning about life and who i was, figuring myself out, wearing all black and getting into rock, etc.. Sorry to disappoint my younger self, but i would go back to that. Cringe, but necessary

Im saving up for a laptop and it’s mainly for school but also I want to be able to play games with mods and have a good dvd player any recs let me know please

[faithisland]

eighth doctor audio dramas have my mind generating this incredible early 90s space age / gothic post-revival imagery that is making me consider making fan art ..?

[vividbaddogs]

idk whats wrong w me its really hard to make me cry over anything but sarah spaceman videos always fucking get me

[restlesspazzi04]

somebody asked if there was any music i listen to while writing but i cant find it, but here is a my full fledged response for anon

one of my writing rituals is that i pick one or two songs to listen to while writing a chapter/scene to get me into the mood for what im trying to write

so if u want to listen to smth while u read this would be my recs as it's what i listened to while writing each chapter of slow falling

chapter 1: welcome and goodbye by Dream, Ivory

got me in a nostalgic mood for this chapter bc i wanted the shock of their loss of contact after introducing how they met to feel the way this song makes me feel

chapter 2: animal by neon trees

their first kiss, so yeah

chapter 3: home by Edward Sharpe

its funny because a pazzi edit to home is what got me into writing this fic

state fair chapter was probably as fluffy as it was because of this song bc the idea of them being each others homes is too cute

chapter 4: little bit by lykke li

felt right for this chapter ngl but also i j like this song a lot idk

chapter 5: champagne coast by blood orange

mostly bc i rly like this song but also because that was the vibe i was trying to go for with the lakeside/summer vibe of nostalgia

kinda wanted to emulate the soulmates vibe they give and this song gave me that vibe idk

edit: birds of a feather by billie for essentially all of these chapters forgot abt that

im a massive writing nerd and don't have any other outlet for this other than tumblr so hope i didn't over explain for anon lol

also idk if this is a spoiler but chapter 6's song is probably going to be house of balloons by the weeknd bc of the you belong to me part ngl but it might change so idk

lmk if this is smth ugs wanted to know and if not j ignore this post this is all for anon lol

I wish we had more than that one extra that talked about LBH’s experience with SQQ growing up. Like I understand why more of the book doesn’t reference the more casual end of white lotus era…but…I would’ve loved to see it refrenced more…actually nvm I think I would’ve gotten creeped out if done the way I’ve seen some people write it

Omg, thanks for sharing your thoughts 👀👀👀

I thirst everyday for what could have been 😔🙏

Honestly though, one of the few things that disappointed me in sv was the lack of disciple days shenanigans! It would have made the story x3 longer and it’s true that the contrast of a happy white lotus LBH and the consequent betrayal and miscommunications would have taken a hit but!!!! -insert whining dog noises-

i need it!!!

actually i thought that even that kind of content could have been played of as nostalgic and even heartbreaking in the right way, especially if it’s LBH reminiscing, but I also doubt he would avoid those kinds of thoughts a little bit bc he doesn’t want to question SQQ and his love ig? Maybe he is scared that if LBH demands answers SQQ will suddenly decide he doesn’t love him anymore and leave…LBH couldn’t take that

idk, that is my theory but i agree it would have been nice to have more of that content? Maybe crammed in before the IAC? But again, that would have made the novel longer -sighs-

Idk why you would have been creeped out? So im wondering! I mean…i’ve read a lot of fics including smol bunhe, from the horny simping LBH ones, passing through the ambiguous pining-LBH nothing is wrong here-SY and even the platonic end where LBH does have feelings but SY is snagged by someone else (imnot crying you are crying) and i believe that all takes are interesting even if a couple ones are a bit questionable…fiction wise

i do think that LBH growing up would slowly go from ‘Shizun is my god and my role model’ to ‘Shizun is my most silly man who i want to wife up and squeeze as soon as possible but he is still so good and peerless and im a bit potato but if he thinks me pleasing to look at I’ll maybe have a chance if I’m super explicit with my intentions…maybe’. And i think that process has a lot of potential??? Bc like, he puts SQQ in a literal pedestal at first but I imagine that living with the man makes LBH realize that SQQ is a human being with likes and dislikes, with a thin face and silly behavior underneath, who shows LBH more kindness and humanity than anyone else, and this is interesting bc other ppl did it before and after him, but LBH is stuck on him??? Also, we see sv from SY!SQQ’s pov, but again, LBH has suffered and known some of the darkness of the world before meeting SY, i believe his method of protecting himself is either to act cute and be super nice, even manipulative about it, while SJ’s was to be a prickly man with the ‘i hurt them first so they can’t hurt me later’ method, and this is why they are conflictive, different protection methods and different levels of blackening. When LBH realizes there’s nothing for him to cling to in a place, he will go silent like a shadow and endure until he can do something about it, if there’s something about SJ and LBH is about their parallels being breathtaking in the ‘im trying not to cry’ way and both endure and endure beyond their breaking point until something happens. SY transmigrated just in time to show LBH that the place he lived in still had some salvation, that the person that hated him and punished him still was capable of humanity!!! We don’t know what LBH thinks of SQQ changing like that, if he believes SQQ lost his memories or smth, but what he concerns himself with is basking in the light he thought was lost, and this makes him a naive character…he hasn’t lost his experience, he knows still what is to be scorned, alone in the world, treated like a street rat, but hopes that his current situation stays like this forever (except he starts getting greedier for SQQ’s love and affection in other ways)

i digress, LBH starts falling for SQQ bc the man shows him humanity underneath the kindness, later on he will be Shizun’s favorite (the dream for him, truly) but first SQQ shows him that he can make mistakes (skinner incident) and that he can be incredibly stupidly selfless (without a cure poisoning) and finally that he is a silly man, with a kind soul and with a lot of dignity and self-assurance despite his obliviousness of lots of things

On that note…idk why i’ve seen a lot of ppl saying that LBH would have fallen for the first person that showed him kindness? Like yes usually kindness is the base for love and interest, but as i see it, LBH didn’t fall for SQQ right away but gradually, not even knowing it himself until it was a tender devotion he couldn’t even try to suppress. LBH didn’t fall for NYY in sv? And she was kind to him, not helpful at all, but kind and human and flawed, but SQQ was such a bright light, such an imposing and beautiful being to him that he couldn’t feel anything for anyone else! Novel-canon LBH is just too obsessed with Shizun, and even PIDW LBG wanted to take him back with him, i mean…

And even if he did fall for someone kind and human like SY, that’s how life works, and i think that if a character deviates from his original narrative and manages to stay in character then it means it’s well built!

LBH is a very good character in my opinion and BingQiu is a very interesting dynamic full with nuances and hysterics (hehe), i do love reading about white lotus bunhe and i could only imagine what SQQ felt like when he thought that the person LBH was before the conference was dead TAT

and this is getting long hahaha sorry, hope some of my rambling is pleasing and answers your comment at least a bit! Thanks for asking(commenting? Talking to me?) <3

[cgtg]

more of heawdio's pilotredsun covers... smth about them sounds so desperate im obsessed... like theyre trying 2 leap in time or something. they feel alive to me idk how else to word it

this cover of canals makes me cry dude i just heard it for the first time 2day. canals is one of my fav pilotredsun songs by a huuuuge shot & this just captures the energy of it so well in a rlly nostalgic & loving way. fucking hell introducing piano to these melodies just puts them on a whole different level. holy shit. pls give this one a listen

[pleucas]

i adore your art!!!! its gorgeous!!!! it literally scratches my brain in the right way idk how to explain this sjsjsj but it makes me feel kind of nostalgic like as if im looking at a moment that happened years ago that i look at fondly smth that i wish i could experience one more time if you know what i mean.... sorry for the rambling im just in love with your work!! hope youre doing well<333

HEYYYY omg tytytyty

yusss this is why i rlly like drawing mafia skk all the time i think. no matter how fluffy, yk it's Over/it will end :C such an interesting vibe that only they have. it's so upsetting idk why i do this to myself

ty for sending in an ask :) & hope you're doing well also!

[sasukeless]

hii!! what are your favorite books?^^

helloo mm tbh im very basic when it comes to taste in books because im a nostalgic so im always rereading stuff instead of hunting for new things. id say my favorite is “the book thief” because its the book that got me into reading and i have reread it a thousands times. then its probably wuthering heights and “cuentos de de amor de locura y de muerte” and “jazmín de medianoche y mediodía” < putting their name in spanish because unfortunately idk what’s the translation and i dont want to put smth that could be wrong

[salaapaoo]

it's been a while since i've been on here!! I've been p busy w school >< but i got tagged !! by @fanfiction-artist-prototype for 20 questions!! 1. how many works do you have on ao3? I have 16! but a bunch of wips hidden in my docs hehe 2. what's your total ao3 word count?

144,014!! I feel proud bc it's been,,, almost a year since i started?? I haven't really had time to write lately though :<

3. what fandoms do you write for? hmm... only lcf so far, but i wanted to write for sss class revival hunter !! but i need to catch up and brain rot harder!!!

4. what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

young master, you dumb bitch

puppy teeth

in the comfort of death

death's little reaper

teeny tiny trouble

5. do you respond to comments? why/why not?

I usually do!! I feel kind of bad tho bc I see comments and then tell myself that i'd just respond later, but then forget.... hhh i will respond to them eventually ;;

6. what's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

hm.. there's only a few that are done... so i guess i'll say what i think will have the angstiest once i'm done?? I think it might be between mr forgettable, witcher's calamity, or comfort of death???

7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

uhm.... i feel like a lot of mine don't really have happy endings??? hhh

8. do you get hate on fics?

no ! i'm really happy with that! i feel like the fandom is really nice tho heh

9. do you write smut? if so, what kind? :] yes,,, uh theres.. some out there

10. do you write crossovers? what's the craziest one?

i don't write crossovers hhh mostly because i would worry about trying to keep even more charas in character ;; brain too rotten w lcf

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that i know of ??

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

yeah! i had one translated into russian!! that reminds me,, i should probably add a link to that to the summary or smth ghksjhg

13. have you ever co-written a fic?

hmmm officially on ao3, no, but i would consider a lot of my fics cowritten w my friends because would end up brainrotting together so hard that it would end up mostly written!! so if i end up writing it, i usually end up dedicating it to them or smth

18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language? i don't think i'm too confident on writing dialogue in another language!! I would probably just put it in italics and say its being done hhh or if i do, then i'd want it checked by someone who speaks it

@vveirdnobdy uuh,,, idk who to tag??? whoever wants to join?

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

Im actually so hungry for a college au jjk like maybe im a nerd or smth idk but im nostalgic for hallways dorms academic blah blah balh BUT W SOME FINE ASS PPL IN IT TOO GRGRGRGRGRGR like those cute college vlogs w friends WAAAA

Academic geto has me WEAK and like frat gojo 🤧🤧 -🌺

Im very sorry for nonsense yap finals r catching up to me 😛

NO BECAUSE YOU’RE SO REAL FOR THAT 🌺 ANON…… i’m never not thinking abt a jjk college/uni au </3 WITH SUGURU IN PARTICULAR. he would be soooooo 😵‍💫😵‍💫 walking around in sweaters and turtlenecks and overcoats… wearing his pretty glasses…. i’ll die on the hill that he’s a lit student but i could see him majoring in any other kind of liberal arts too. he’d just be so polite and studious and teasing and warm and 😔😔😔

he makes me a little insane i think. anyway YEAH I AGREE….. i’m never not thinking of college sashisu!!! and college childhood friend!sugu…… he fits into that setting so well . just put him on a college campus during autumn and he’ll feel right at home :3

[m1ckeyb3rry]

i was rereading the athyae arc recently and ARGHHH MIRA WHEN I CATCH YOU BC OF THE PARTS WITH HADRIAN 😔

ugh idk what hurts more when reading the pomegranate chapter: reading it for the first time or reading it over again after knowing the events that come after..

missing friedrich ngl!! he’s the pookiest out of ur ocs imo (besides tullia ofc)

i still have some ss of moments i loved when i first read thru sith and ugh reading over them again is making me miss the trio 😔 also super nostalgic for me not only bc it’s been so long, but also bc im no longer active in the aot fandom :((

AHHH everything with hadrian is so much worse upon reread imo!! like the way he is so doomed. the way he saved y/n and loved y/n and in return he got the fire on his doorstep that burnt his sister to death. the way he tried so hard to change y/n’s mind about the war and honestly he almost succeeded but he fell JUST short. i could go on and on about him tbh he is one of the most interesting characters in that story despite barely being in it for more than a chapter or two

LMAOO I MISS FRIEDRICH TOO he’s such a funny silly guy tbh he and colt would’ve thrived in a sports manga where they could have had a friendship that was slightly too romantically coded to be a normal friendship but was never explicitly stated to be romantic. like can you imagine them playing basketball or smth…I KNOW those boys could shoot some hoops 🥶💯 he definitely is one of my favorite ocs but i’ve never had a fic idea where he could fit in so he may remain a SitH exclusive 😓 i think part of it is because i tend to write for shonen animangas which have a lot of male characters already but not as many females (or at least well written ones) so tullia/may/elakshi get used to fill that niche whereas if i need a male character for whatever reason i just pull from canon

aww you’ll have to tell me which moments were your favs!! i miss the trio as well but just like you i’m not rlly active in the aot fandom anymore so it’s been really hard for me to convince myself to write for it 😫

[fvkvrodani]

reverse unpopular opinion the authority

i didnt rb the meme but. man................ i literally forgot they existed 😭😭😭😭 lemme see if i can remember anything—or rather, if i can find smth positive to say abt them... considering the comics' writing in the later stages.

bc like. heres the thing: the authority as a team—theyre a relic of their time.

the 90s & early 00s were just... so edgy, so nitty gritty unapologetically right there in your face with their fuck the world attitude that you can see it in every media, from movies to tv shows to even wrestling (just look at wwe at that time!! impact wrestling/tna & czw & njpw too!!). the fact that the comics werent spared from this kind of mindset where everything goes, no holds barred, & if you dont like it then fuck off is why the authority are a relic of that time.

...& tbh? idk what state the dc comics are in right now. i dont know if dc can even handle that kind of attitude anymore. but itd be so, so nice to see it back. itd be so fucking nice to see a team do the things that the goody-two shoes superheroes cant or wont do bc of morals & whatever other reasons they got. the authority laid the ground works of what anti-hero/anti-villain "if you fuck w someone badly enough we're gonna beat you up. we might even kill you & nobody can do a thing about it. we follow our own rules." teams should be like.

theyre the blueprint of what dc is trying to make the suicide squad be, with amanda walker as the handler & agent of a bunch of killers, trying to make them do good for once in their lives. except the authority looks at the world & go "we can & WILL fix it bc yall fucked it up."

the authority as a team is so fucking edgy... we need to bring back that 90s edginess in media... or maybe im just nostalgic for that time period in general.

2nd edit bc my brain is rotting w rdr2 nowadays: (looks at the dutch van der linde gang in its early-mid stages before dutch lost his mind & descended into madness) (looks at the authority) ...im sensing a theme here. "we kill folks as need killing. we give to the poor as need giving. we save people as need saving."
