#Not that this is polished by any means

(If I run fast enough will my feet leave the ground?)

Wanderlust is the ache in your face when it's cold

It's the scratching biting itching from inside

It's smelling the shit and piss and nicotine caked into the sidewalk

And wanting to rise above it all

A wrenching in your gut

So hot it's cold and so cold it's hot

Finally being warm and comfortable and hating it all

I want my bones to crack

So ugly, bloodstained wings

Can rip themselves out of my back

And I can fly

That's what wanderlust is

i really think people nowadays assume that they’re OWED fan content, and completely forget the PEOPLE behind the content they claim to love.

people don’t leave kudos. they don’t comment unless it’s nasty/critical. they don’t reblog.

and you wonder why you can’t find any content? maybe it’s bc the creators you claimed to love so much stopped sharing their work bc people didn’t seem to appreciate it/treated them like shit

we aren’t some AI spurting out crap. We’re humans putting little pieces of our souls out there for you to share a little joy.

i just wish more people would remember that, and be a lot more appreciative than entitled little shits.

heard rumblings of an oblivion remake. i'm not sure if that's actually substantiated, but if it is it'll be interesting to see what they do with it. part of oblivion's charm, i think, it just how busted and of its time it is. it's got that 360 near-launch look to it, that 7th gen bloomy, saturated haze, like somebody at bethesda is spit-polishing your camera in real time to keep your focus off the fact that the engine is spewing black smoke. the score is lush and soft and sweeping. oblivion has, for lack of a better term, a kind of mucilaginous quality to it, i think, but i assume part of that is the positive memories i ascribe to it through nostalgia. oblivion is bright, and dense, but there's enough in it for you to stick your hands in and gouge out something interesting yourself. if you make it cleaner, better, if you wipe the vaseline off the lens, i wonder what's left? i can't argue that they shouldn't improve things like stability, or the ai, or increase the amount of voice actors from 2 to 3, but i hope the likelihood of a quest npc saying ᶠᵃʳᵉʷᵉˡˡᵎ and then pinging straight through the wall, never to be seen again and ruining a quest you'll do 80 hours from now, is at least there. i'm looking forward to it, in any case

David Tennant wearing pink nail polish right after pissing off the prime minister? Iconic. Also he's making me want to paint my nails for the first time in like six years. Idk how he has this much power but give him more

💥❗❗IMPORTANT QUESTION❗❗💥

...would any of you be interested if I opened commissions?👁️👁️

Not inbox requests or rushed stuff like I've doing until now but completed commissions that I'll spend more than an hour on.

I'm planning on opening commissions for the first time and I would really like y'alls feedback on this (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

(Ps: I'm still in the process of starting to investigate how this whole thing works so it might take a while)

you know I gotta ask for the new one. (I'm sorry vamp drew for betraying u) sooooo mer au mer au mer au!!~~ --@quiescentdestiny

WIP Wednesday (5/1) | Mer Roadtrip AU (Part 4)

“Nathaniel, sit up.” Lola commands. But he doesn’t comply. She digs her nails into his wrist in warning, but Nathaniel just blinks slowly and turns to look at her, his head lolling to the side. She gives him a once over and Nathaniel lets himself go completely limp, his head nearly falling onto her shoulder. “What are you doing?”

Nathaniel doesn’t answer.

“Oh, poor rybeńko,” Lola tuts, putting her free hand on his cheek. “Is it too hot for you in here?”

Nathaniel isn’t sure whether her hand or the old nickname makes him shudder. But he does. Then he nods weakly.

“Lola, he doesn’t look good,” Romero comments from the front seat. “Maybe you should roll—”

“Oh, shut up. This is clearly a con.” Lola says, dropping her hand and making Nathaniel’s heart seize in his chest. 

“I dunno. All this heat might not be good for—”

“He can handle it, he’s tropical,” Lola laughs. “Believe me, Romero. I know Nathaniel got his looks from his father, but his conniving little mother gave him his talent for acting.”

Despite the raw anger that statement summons, rising to the bait will only prove her right. Instead he remains as still as he can, gasping in breath after pathetic breath like a fish out of water. Which, he supposes, isn’t too far off from the truth. Lola just stares at him with a bit of morbid amusement painted across her features.

the thing about designing my work’s website is that i did fine art for 3 years so i have biased opinions and my boss has some very….. “graphic design is my passion” kind of ideas and no matter what i say she doesn’t change her mind and i have to like reluctantly just go along with it even when it inevitably looks like shit

[rainyjackalope]

I love when I post colored sketches and people are like 'ooooh the lines oooh the textures' because I'm like oh you like when I put less effort into cleaning things up and making them smooth and fancy huh 👀

[itischeese]

Should I (attempt to) go back to posting weekly with less polished works, or post less often but much more finalized works (ie actually edited)?

(please note that the piece I posted most recently was, in fact, edited.

Also, If I post polished works less often, I will inevitably post much less of what I write; only the stuff that can be made good.)

polish people when you ask them to critically engage with their country's history and the way their country is dealing with it: i don't talk to trolls(:

Sir. Or Madam. Given this site's demographics probably Madam. Or whatever title you'd apply to yourself.

I am in fact trying to critically engage with history. Which is why I said there is controversy and that I would like to learn the truth. Unfortunately, every source I have met with so far on whichever side of the debate was either visibly written "for a specific outcome" or of dubious standing among historians.

Look, when I die I will ask God about it. Till then I have reconciled myself to the idea that unless something changes I will have nothing but the vaguest of pictures.

I am calling your messages trolling because I have been careful not to give a decisive statement since I do not know what is true. I strongly suggest that you might have a better use of your time than to come shout at me for... I don't even know what your precise argument is?

not to be punk rock on main or whatever but what's the point of going to school for a degree if you're just going to be screened away by a robot anyway because hiring has turned into a twisted game of matchmaker. what's the point when you can't even buy groceries or get fast food because it's six dollars for a burger at a place that happily feeds killers. what's the point of living if you need to work for your entire life just to do it; and nothing, especially living, is guaranteed. it makes me so, so, angry. it makes me enraged.
