Peaceful Days.

Just when I thought I had lost my love for art completely, along trods a game which makes me not want to put my pencil down. I do love that game, it’s so great. I feel like I’m starting to sound like a broken record, but IT IS SO GREAT SRSLY PLEASE EVERYONE PLAY IT OR ELSE. Ahem. *coughs*

Also, Hugo has a sausage, because “Sausages!!” (If you know you know, also I love that scene) :D Sausages not made from piggies of course.

Goodnight Story #2

[plaint text: "Goodnight Story #2" in big and cursive text./end pt]

It's just one of those days. Work stretches on endlessly and Kyoya gets kind of lost in it after a while. He's already finished all of his patrols for today, so he's just working on some papers when there is a knock on the door. He barely blinks out of his highly-focused state, really only muttering in response. "Come in."

It's just Tetsuya, looking overwhelmingly fond again, his school-bag slung over his shoulder. He stays by the door, speaking calmly. "It's time to go home, Kyo-san."

Kyoya blinks up at his Second-in-command, for a moment not entirely understanding. Then he realizes the reception room is bathed in stretched, late-afternoon shadows, which does explain why he had to turn on the desk lamp some time ago. Time passes too quickly when he's having fun, honestly! "Oh."

Kyoya straightens out the last few papers he was working on, putting away his pen, turning off his laptop and storing everything that contains sensitive information in the desk's drawer. Tetsuya still has some social-power left today. Admirable as always. "I was thinking about dinner earlier. Do you mind if I make some curry? We still have some rice from breakfast."

Kyoya hums faintly, thinking that over as he puts his laptop in his bag, frowning to himself when he realizes he didn't even eat his bento. Work really had him in a vice-like grip today, huh... "Cook whatever you want. I'll just eat my bento."

Tetsuya frowns in displeasure and worry, clenching one of his fists, which does make Kyoya roll his eyes. It's not like he forgets often, or ever on purpose. Tetsuya has no right to sound this concerned. "Please remember to eat tomorrow."

Usually Kyoya's more careful to remember mealtimes, but with the festival coming up, the two exams Kyoya's teachers are pushing on him and the Stunden Council shoving the financial issues of their decisions on him again-it's just. Today's been a lot. Tetsuya's concern is acknowledged but not in any way appreciated.

Kyoya huffs faintly and shrugs it off, barely caring at this point. He does feel a spark of appreciation when Tetsuya buys him a chilled drink, but that's really all the interaction they care to have on their way home. Kyoya is admittedly still thinking about what he'll have to do tomorrow, so he may be ignoring Tetsuya's attempts at conversation, but that's nobody's fault.

They get home, Tetsuya cooks dinner, Kyoya finally gets around to eating his bento. Tetsuya even gives him a small plate of curry, just to end the day with a warm meal. They do just a bit of sewing on some of Kyoya's torn clothes, before they say their goodnights and go to sleep in their seperate rooms.

It was just one of those boring, peaceful days...

It's nice.

it came to my realization that 99% of my fandom related headaches would be cured if everyone understood this

How Bill was defeated and captured by Ford in my Gf AU! He basically just tricked Bill into accepting a deal that trapped him within Ford's mind and under his control :]

He may have gotten a little out of hand though....

I've been an artist for years now, and have recently decided to try and sell my art as digital downloads for now. I'm working on other things too, but it is a bit time consuming, so for now I'm setting up an Etsy shop for my digital downloads. Anyways, I've decided this is the image I'm going to use in my Thank you notes for my downloads. It just has this calming feel, and I love it.

what is with men being mad any time a woman raises her voice where did that even come from. someone posted a video of a small electrical explosion, and the top comment was of course the woman screams. the second comment is women try not to scream challenge, level impossible. i had to go back and watch the video again. there is, somewhat fainty, a little gasp emitted off-camera, more of a yelp than a scream. it is mostly lost in the crack of the explosion. afterwards, you hear her voice, shaken, say, are you okay?

i am helping one of my friends train her voice pitch lower, because she wants to be taken seriously at work. she and i do each other's nails and talk about gender roles; and how - due to our appearance - neither of us have ever been able to be "hysterical" in public. we both appear young and sweet and feminine. she is cisgender, and cannot use her natural voice in her profession because people keep saying she appears to be "vapid". we both try to figure out if our purposeful voice lowering is technically sexist. is it promoting something when you are a victim to it?

a storm almost sends a pole through a car window. in the dashcam, you can hear the woman passenger say her partner's name twice, crying out in alarm. she sounds terrified. in the comments, she is lambasted for her lack of calm. how is that even fucking helping?

in high school, i taught myself to have a lower voice. i had been recorded when i was genuinely (and righteously) upset; and i hated how my voice sounded on the phone speakers when it was played back. i was defending my mom, and my voice cracked with emotion. it meant i was no longer winning the argument: i was just shrieking about it.

girls meet each other after a long summer and let out a little joyful scream. this usually stops around 12-14, because people will not tolerate this display of affection (as it has the effect of being passingly annoying). something about the fact that little girls can't ever even be annoying. we are trained to examine each part of our lives (even joy) for anything that could make us upsetting and disgusting. they act like teenage girls are breaking into houses and shrieking you awake at 3 in the morning. speaking as a public school educator: trust me, it's not that bad, you can just roll your eyes and move on. it does not compare to the ways boys end up being annoying: slurs in graffiti, purposefully mocking your body, following you after you said no. you know, just boy things.

there's another video of a man who is not allowed to yell in the house, so he snaps his fingers when he's excited about soccer. the comments are full of angry men, talking about how their brother is unfairly caged. let him express himself and this is terrible to do to someone. eventually the couple has to address it in a second video: they are married with a newborn baby. he was trying not to wake the infant up. there is no comment on the fact women are not allowed to yell indoors. or the fact that it could have been really alarming or triggering for his wife. sometimes i wonder if straight men even like women, if they even enjoy being in relationships with them.

for the longest time, i hated roller coasters because it always felt inappropriate and uncomfortable for me to scream. one of my friends called me on it, said it was unusual i'm so unwilling. i had to go to my therapist about it. i don't like to scream because i was not raised in a safe situation, and raising my voice would have brought unsafe attention towards me. even when i am supposed to scream, it feels shameful, guilty. i was not treated kindly, so i lack a basic form of self-protection. this is not a natural response. it is not good that in a situation of high adrenaline - i shut up about it.

something very bad is happening, i think. in between all the beauty standards and the stuff i've already discussed - this one feels new and cruel in a way i can't quite express. yes, it's scary and silencing. but there's something about how direct it is - that so many men agree with the sentiment that women should never yell, even in an emergency - it feels different.

is the word shriek gendered automatically? how about shrill or screech? in self defense class, one of the first things they tell you is to yell, as loud and as shrilly as you can. they say it will feel rude. most women will not do this. you need to practice overcoming the social pressure and just scream.

most women do not cry out, even when it's bad. we do not report it. we walk faster. we do not make a scene. what would be the point of doing anything else? no matter what we do, we don't get taken seriously. it is a joke to them. an instagram caption punchline. we have to present ourselves as silent, beautiful, captivating - "valuable."

a woman is outside watching her kids when someone throws a firecracker at them. she screams and runs towards her children. in the comments, grown men flock together in the thousands: god. women are so annoying.
