#Mai Talks

[hello-universe-lovers]

I just have a thought:

"I won't say I'm in love" from Disney's Hercules, but sung by Drippy.

Animation, comic, whatever, someone please bring this vision to life!!!

The mental story that keeps popping up for Swapfell Past is when Black and Alphy are both still tiny lil'tots and just learning lots of things...

Cue Papyrus is starting to hang out with a really bad influenced friend; Said friend comes over, Papyrus has to watch the kids and the friend starts teaching them curse words. Alphy's smart enough to give him glares and ignore him- Black, not so much...

In fact, with the intentions and the fact any negative feels are what Black was designed for to do; He craves it... Reason why he has such a bad baby/toddler stage. So, like to think his cursing habit at such a young age started with that bad friend and...

I got the image of Papyrus legit trying to get his new friend to stop; Said friend says 'fuck off' or something, lil'Black copies said friend; big Daddy Li comes in, just catching that last sentence and he is pissed...

I see Papyrus like 'oh shit' and friend goes; 'oh, mega shit... uh, ima head out?' And maybe something that makes both boys run. Papyrus trips over his own feet and he's like; 'why am i runnin'?! i can port--' and friend latches onto him like 'then fuckin' port us!!' and Pap's like; 'no!! get off, it doesn't work like tha'!' Or something, when really he's not strong enough to do two people, lolol.

Idk, this has just been on my brain for a while now and I keep chuckling. Maybe if Papyrus and friend started doing drugs together in their house, then maybe... So much going on in my brain, man.

starting over on a new account feels liberating, but also scary, but also kinda pointless...? i’ve been using tumblr since 2010 and the landscape has changed so much. post engagement is at an all time low, and besides, none of my old mutuals are still around… even if they were, i wouldn’t know how to reach out to them to tell them i have this new account.

honestly, i have no idea how to connect with people and find friends as someone who ships pretty much anything. it feels like most people ship a specific ship and don’t like its ‘rival’ ships, especially if said ships are considered “problematic.” i have a couple friends from previous fandoms who enjoy both zutara and zucest, but that’s about it.

i’m also kinda terrified to be harassed off any platform (again)??? haha… i long for the days when people actually adhered to ‘don’t like don’t read’ and respected each other’s business. i don’t like to use the terms proship or profic for myself, even though i am by definition. i just think it complicates things and solidifies my position in the ‘proship/anti’ discourse, despite me wanting nothing to do with said discourse.

i guess i feel like i will have accomplished something if i can meet just a handful of people who share my interests on here, but it’s probably a weird metric to measure ‘success’ on when that type of thing is out of my control. maybe i will feel more accomplished if i draw x amount of fanart or write x amount of fic? but then i fall into the trap of treating myself as a content-creation machine, even though i’m just a guy who likes to create things sometimes. that mindset is probably a remnant of being some form of ‘tumblr-famous’ since i was a young teen. i am still trying to undo the damage that did on my mental health lol

i suppose it doesn’t help that this is a pretty old fandom, and that its recent revival is attributed to the netflix live action, which i have very little interest in discussing. it feels a bit lonely here, is all.

i guess as long as i’m here, i’ll keep writing and drawing these self-indulgent things and keep putting them out there, without expecting any results— just a labor of the love i have for the series. it’s the best i can do for now!

redoing all my masterlists and i just realized this means that i have to touch the ungodly long voltron masterlist :,D

HEARTBREAKING: character actually mildly interesting to think about but I Dont like their fans

[ruegarding]

that scene in tlo where thalia tells percy he can't start feeling sorry for luke bc luke made his choices. and thalia reveals that the reason they couldn't make it to camp in time for all of them to make it to camp was bc luke kept picking fights. and annabeth never saw this as wrong bc luke was her hero. so thalia had to pick up the pieces. and percy thinking both that luke was put in a cruel position and that luke was putting others in a cruel position. and percy is the only character who understood both sides of luke bc annabeth sees only the best of him and thalia sees only the worst. and that's why percy is the prophecy kid and the one who gives luke the knife. bc annabeth had spent the entire series essentially giving luke the knife when he didn't deserve it. and thalia was never going to give luke the knife. but percy is the only one who can see exactly when luke deserves the knife.

before the academic year kicks back off i wanna try and get a proper Art Routine going so I can keep up with fandom creations and art making in general while also giving my final year of studies my all!! I've realised just how much I miss being super active in the fandom space and I rly wanna come back to that, both with my art and writing :(

[great-and-small]

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

[lightning-flight]

I miss being into a fandom, but absolutely none of my old special interests hold any appeal to me at the moment. Ugh.

Traveling outside of Hallownest problem no.3:

OUTDOOR CAMPING

There isn't always a city or a random cottage in the middle of the woods. They had to set up camp, sometimes in the middle of nowhere. At least, thankfully, only 2 of them need to sleep.

((So I wanted to go all out with this piece because I wanted to. The mental image is funny for me. And I went ham. Hopefully, I still got it.

Headcannon time

HC all about Swapfell Red and the Mutt man, perhaps with the extra family content.

Papyrus; Mutt, Russ, Russell

Papyrus has only given his name back when he was a young tyke and didn't understand the ability it would give others to know his name. As an adult, he doesn't speak of it, though still responds to it silently. (Most beings who knew his name are either dead, or used another name to the point that they forgot completely of what he used to go by. Only Sans, Undyne, and Queen Toriel know of it.)

Close friends he trusts, he gives his nickname 'Russ'. He's taken up a habit of using a more human name, since Monsters see him more as one due to his own imagery. Yes, double S's, because he's chosen the 'Human' name of Russell.

The nickname 'Mutt' comes from his brother Sans, more in a means of playfully bantering with him that came from childhood, though people have taken it as a negative meaning. Sans and Papyrus use that to their advantage; He plays the lazy, undeserving, drunken and drugged-out brother, whose so low on his luck that he has to undignifyingly rely on his baby brother.

It's such a habit to call himself 'Mutt', play the role of a womanizer, that most others think he's part of a Wolf Pack. Russ isn't, but he enjoys hearing and getting others to believe he is. And if he's caught? Well, his fleeing powers come in such good use! Even better if he can get two Clans against the other... Better yet if he can earn Favors from them, however- Something he's done quite a few times before.

He recalls who has given him life, his name, his powers; though his 'Creator' has thankfully lost his mind, memory, and parts of his Soul. There's reasons why he stays away from the Snowy part of town, and it isn't because of the terrible snow storms. Not like the cold bothers him, anyways.

He enjoys Human company the most. It's more along the lines of what was first an addiction, slowly morphed to understanding, then a spark of what he'd never thought he'd have; Life. But even though that feeling ended in pain, causing a small habit of drug taking again to form; Russ still finds solace in beings who he looks more apart of compared to others. He bleeds like the humans, perhaps he was one back in the days?

He knows where the Blood-red Echo's come from. It pains him how the White and Pink Echo flowers are made... He's just glad he was able to keep His Human from becoming those when she was here.

He might look lazy; Look like someone you'd REALLY not want following you... But honestly, probably the best thing to have happen to you.

Russ is notorious to be someone who can hide easily; No one but the Judge has seen how he works. Not even Sans.

Queen Toriel had wanted to make him her right hand man; But he declined it for his own personal reasons... Instead, taking up another type of job- Earning the nickname 'Watch Dog'.

Sans; General, Commander, Tyrant, Regal

Sans has one of the worst tempers in the Underground; Most beings can't believe he hasn't turned yet like the last General did with all the power he has gained over the years.

He will only stand down if personally told by Queen Toriel, otherwise he is head strong, high strung, and will always be victoriously vicious in whatever he's doing.

Doesn't care for many other beings; Has been called all the names in the book but most Civilians call him 'Tyrant', though it's for their own good with the rules he has placed.

The only ones he has looked up to have died; Both physically, like his adopted father and the King, and Mentally, like his brother and his adopted sister. (It will only be after a few years out of the Underground will he see his brother as, once again, someone he can rely and count on and finds something to help his sister regain her consciousness from LVL-overdrive.)

Teenage Monsters enrage him to no end; It brings back terrible memories and annoyances that his own brother had pulled back in the day. However, he does find some twisted joy in scaring the shit out of these ones.

Young Monsters, he tends to ignore if they are being cared for. But under the guise of the Queens Rules; He allows himself to show no mercy to those who need a helping claw, though there have been some he's been far too late to save...

Knows that everyone who tries to befriend him only want his protection. Only friends of his brothers, he tends to be slightly less toxic to... However, there is one Monster he wouldn't mind befriending...

Though he can be toxic, extremely narcissistic, & ego driven; He does have a calmer side to him... It's shown when he drinks. Sans favorite thing to do after a specifically long and exhausting day is to get wine from Gillby's and, perhaps, bring home some healing waters to relax in.

Bribes normally don't work on Sans; But if it's for a good cause...

Sans has always gone by; 'Sans the Malevolent', and because he doesn't have a last name as far as both brothers are aware; Most of those under him call him 'General/Commander Malevolent', etc...

Sans is the voice for both him and his brother; However, he does look and read his brother for expressions and other telling tales that only he can translate due to their sibling bond.

Extremely well tuned in body language, more than his brother is.

Has pure hatred for so many things... It's easier to list what he actually likes.

beloved gold ch 5 delayed due to a rabies shot (not mine) (the recipient is fine) (i will be writing an orv short inspired by this)

[feypact]

public libraries in the usa offering free digital library cards to people not in their areas (as of october 2023):

brooklyn (13-21yo us residents)

seattle (13-26yo us residents)

boston (13-26yo us residents, EDIT: just commonly banned books)

los angeles (13-18yo california residents)

san diego (12-26yo us residents, not the whole collection just commonly banned books)

these books unbanned cards (unless otherwise stated) get you access to each library's complete libby/cloud library collection, no hoopla/kanopy/physical copies included.

ebook collections are expensive to maintain (many american libraries have annual fees for non-residents because of this) but because of an uptick in book banning (particularly brutal in mississippi last summer) larger libraries have opened their doors more, which is very kind of them!

i've used my seattle card for the last several months and their libby collection has about three times the books that my local library does, which is wonderful for accessing more niche titles or skipping a waiting list. would love to hear of similar ebook initiatives internationally!

i use library extension (firefox/chrome/edge compatible) to check all my collections (+ the internet archive) at once, works for several different countries highly recommend it.

spotify seems to be offering 15hrs/month of audiobook listening to premium subscribers and while that does seem useful if you're already paying and are after a new release with a long library waitlist, libraries are better for everything else.
