Tallulah: tio pac and fit are so Perfecta by Miranda coded 🥹💕
Phil: This is Pac and Fit? [Dramatically zooms-in on the fanart and makes them "sing" along to the music]
Chat: he's LITERALLY making a ship amv right now
Tallulah: How things got weird 😞
Make sure to show love to the artist who drew this fanart!
[ Full clip ]
#Philza#Tallulah#QSMP#Hideduo#FitPac#FitMC#Pactw#Phil#Pac#Fit#Edited#January 17 2024#This is SUCH a cute moment#The other version I posted before is nice but it's a bit too long#The music is synced up exactly how it was on stream (in the first clip)#but the pacing is better in this one#I think I've gotten a lot better at making myself make things shorter#as much as it kills me because I love giving additional context for stuff#and a lot of fun moments / little character quirks get lost sometimes#But ultimately the shorter videos are better. Better pacing by far#Anyways. Yes that cat is Gus lmao#Also @ Tallulah's Admin: I Know What You Are#pftt#listen man if you know you know all I'm saying is that song's very associated with a specific KarmaIand ship#Timestamp: ~4h 52m#(Please note that the VOD doesn't have music)#I love how half of chat was like#''What a nice song!''#meanwhile me and my fellow Karmaland viewers were like#''I Know What You Are''

some Sandor doodles because I love this man dearly and wish him the best.
Tormund was right, he does have very sad eyes.
also with quite a few of my designs/personifications for characters i kinda just tend to pick and choose things from the source materials (the show and the books) and go from there. Like the book’s description of Sandor was actually when he was younger, and actual time frame he Yk. Aged. Since he’s 35 years old in the show. (At the end he’d be about 40-42 I think)
but anyways
dog helm sketch/personal interpretation.

Thinking about asking off from work for my birthday.
I usually don't; I think I did once like thirteen years ago at the bookstore when it was on a Saturday and I knew there were three or four people who could cover the shift. And when I switched to nannying any Saturday b-days I was off anyway and Monkey and Mermaid are fun enough kids I didn't mind spending my birthday with them.
Not to say Sprout's not fun(we were being silly yesterday and she drew me a picture and she can be a sweetheart) BUT. The family is allergic to using their AC for some reason and that day is supposed to be 87F and humid which means they'll maybe set the AC to 77 and it'll be miserable hot inside and out, AND second Thursday is the day the cleaning people come, which means all of Sprout's toys have to go up off the floor. She is a very.... /cough particular child, who doesn't like things not being where she puts them(and was 100% given her own way too much up til now to keep her happy), so she's always a screaming crying wreck on Cleaning Day even though she knows we can put things back as soon as it's done. It's not where she wants it to be, that's a personal attack on her and she has to yell at everyone about it. :)) I'll be spending the entire day calming her down and keeping her from yanking stuff off the furniture and I'm sorry but doing that while also sweating like crazy from it being upper 70's in the house does not sound like a fun way to spend my birthday.
#queen rambles#there's part of me saying Be A Responsible Adult and work the schedule you agreed to#but i have personal days for a REASON#and it might make me horrible but this job is not *quite* as enjoyable as the previous nanny family for a variety of reasons#(even if it pays a lot better) and i don't wanna spend my birthday with a headache when it's avoidable#the mom and grandma live together so the grandma watches sprout sometimes anyway#i'm not leaving them in the lurch i don't think#(i wouldn't even be thinking about it if there was no backup#i'd feel too guilty😅)#tbh my (unattainable) dream job is the pay from this one for watching monkey and mermaid and they just stay little kids forever xD#i love those kids sm#why'd they have to grow up? :P#if my bday was any other day of the week(esp. tuesday bc that's shorter anyway)#or even just not cleaning day#i'd work it. probably.#that set of circumstances is just a perfect storm of Not How i wanna spend my birthday xD

Sometimes I ramble while answering questions cause I'm actually writing down my thought process lmao
#About Cyan#I hope it's not too confusing#when I already have an answer I try to make it short#but when I don't know for certain writing down what I'm thinking helps me think better#Sometimes I think about going back and rewriting it in a shorter way but idk#Actually I have rewritten huge answers to make them shorter cause I got too side tracked

it still counts as alternating pov if sanji's scenes are megabeasts that delve into his thoughts, trauma, dreams, fears, childhood, inner demons, fantasies, what he had for breakfast, quantum physics, etc. while zoro's are like 1/12th the length and any insight basically boils down to "huh, he's hot. guess i like him" right
#just realizing that the last 2 zoro scenes i wrote kind of didn't include any of his inner thoughts at all and were uh#comedically shorter than these sanji scenes lmao#ik this is just my paranoia cycle at work again it's fine. right? right.#'alternating povs' like the alternator of my last car by which i mean whenever i feel like it + sometimes just not hahaha anyway#writing sanji is just too dangerous i'm allowed to make him Think all the Things and then i have to write them down bc it's the law#zoro ily i will do better by you i promise#rin.txt

Ohoho I'm excited by book 2, but that's a monster length. How many words is book 1 again? For comparison. Also, separate thought, where do the short stories fit on the timeline between books 1 and 2?
Shit, I had not actually checked until now! But it looks like AtS was about 185.5K. So at the current length of 395K, the next one is more than twice as long. I need to lie down!!! How and why do we do this to ourselves, haha.
RE: timeline, all the little novellas so far (with the obvious exception of Midnight Chicken) will fall between the two! The next one (working title Run Aground) takes place approximately a year and change after Taste of New York.
#reader mailbag#it WAS significantly shorter! Then we figured out we needed to spice up the climax and hammered out an outline together#in like a whole day of protracted discussion. like that painting of the philosophers debating in rome or whatever. it was like that.#except like. in discord group chat haha. And then I went briefly out of my mind and slammed out like 30-40K in like a week#making huge structural changes is so intimidating but god it's so worth it sometimes. you have to take a machete to stuff!!#the new ending slaps. We made it so much better. I wish this meant anything to anybody yet lmao. YOU'LL SEE. YOU'LL ALL SEE#I digress!!! Because I worked last night and it's time for me to go to bed. But man I'm so excited to be editing and fine-tuning.

I'm always so torn between posting full clips of funny moments / important lore moments or splitting them into two parts and cutting some things out, so I want to know your guys' preference:
#mod talk#TBD#Maybe#I've waffled on this since the start of RA#My love of giving the full context for things vs. the MarCom person in me knowing shorter videos perform better#More circulation means more people will probably see the funny moment and might look up the full thing themselves#But do I trust everyone to do that? No. It's easier to give full context#It's tough!#But it's tough! When it's a choice between a 2 minute 30 second video or two 1 minute videos it's hard.#Also sometimes an early cutoff is VERY funny and I'm a sucker for that

post POSTponed because I just want it to be better but you will all be seeing Miyoko Tanashi very soon. I want to revisit some Miyo stuff as I'm not very assured in how I've been describing her role in Tokyo for example. this post is more about Meryl but they're both important...
#i raised my own standards like sometimes i want to write a better shorter post rather than just saying anything because i'm not always smart#auau original

I keep getting promotion for ExposureCraft and they have all been some version of “I miss old Minecraft. Since 2020 every server has just been lore streams with way too much content to catch up on! What ever happened to just playing Minecraft with friends? So I’m joining this new server with lots of mods and a life system gimmick that I’ll be streaming!”
Like I’m sorry?? But you’ve missed your own point! Many of those “lore” servers started as just playing Minecraft with friends and turned into something more because of a system on the server. And it’s way too much content to catch up on because it’s nothing but long ass streams that not everyone can catch live or have the time to go back and watch a vod of. You also mention missing “old” Minecraft but here yall are adding 40 something mods onto the server and adding a life system. Usually if people are talking about missing “old” Minecraft they mean vanilla Minecraft with maybe 1 or 2 mods.
Like just they way the creators are promoting ExposureCraft like they are better than other servers in the past few years when they are doing the exact same thing servers have been doing for the past couple of years rubs me the wrong way. I also looked up the vods for it and the shortest one I found was just under 3 hours long at 2:56, with the longest being almost 10 hours long and the average being 6 1/2 hours.
Just the way the creators have been promoting and talking about ExposureCraft puts me off watching it despite there being several creators on it that I love watching.
#just the acting like they’re better and doing something different#when they aren’t#it just gives a bad feeling#exposure craft#mcyt#just why must servers be nothing but streams now#I get making shorter videos is a hassle sometimes with editing#but not everyone can do streams

So I actually finished listening to the whole Sparks studio album discography today, with Plagiarism, which I probably would have put off still for an indefinite amount of time, but since that was the last album on the list and the new Sparks era is now imminent... felt fitting to sort of finally listen to that. So I've been thinking of making a (short-ish? lol) post and talking a (little? lol) bit about all the albums I've left off from my Sparkstember writeups because I wasn't familiar enough with them yet at the time. So that the essay collection is completed at last yay. But well yeah, big day I guess, I'm officially all caught up, after... A year and 10 months?! I take my time with things... even if I'm super into them, or maybe especially??
#i meaaaaan I guess there's still annette left technically#except i did listen to that one once but only the shorter vinyl version and i almost forgot about doing that anyway#so yeah i want to get to watching annette eventually lol... (one of the two movies I'm going to watch this year)#the cool thing is that there's still stuff like the early demos & that one rarities collection etc that i don't know much stuff from still#and like i'm tempted to just get to those and give them one solid listen but also...#the thought of all those mysterious unknown tracks still being out there is too beautiful to let go of yknow?#however i also have a big problem with putting off getting into things... often until im no longer interested in them#not that this is whats going to happen here. but it happened before for sure. and it's just kind of a maybe not the best approach.#like having a cool powerful item in a game and never using it because it might be more useful later.#except sometimes it was a good idea to get to those things later#and spread the enjoyment i get from it over a longer period of time. so that meant MORE joy actually#but i already talked about something like this before didn't i. also well about plagiarism i will just say that#well i wasn't very impressed by it lol. not that i had a bad time listening to it but...#hmmm i guess it's just better to not think about it in the same way as you do with more traditional albums#but uh yeah i guess i'll get into that properly sooner or later#well all in all i'm so ready for the new sparks era i can say this for sure now#goosepost

#sometimes i really hate being the ''gives good hugs guy''#like yes i love it i will always love it. being the gives good hugs guy is one of my favorite things!!!!!#but. im the gives good hugs guy because im taller and/or bigger and/or stronger than most of my friends#and my friends that are huggers to begin with and not just incidentally#they are not nessecarily the kind of hugger where they approach a hug with the goal of squeezing someone as hard as they possibly can#and that one that does. is eight inches shorter and 140 lbs lighter than me#and cannot get the kind of leverage that you need to give me a really good hug#(this doesnt mean that she doesnt try!!!!! and her hugs are Very Good but they're not what i personally need in a good hugs guy)#i have one friend who is approx. the same height as me that hugs people even incidentally#and he is the only person i know that can give me a Proper Hug#(by that i mean squeezing the living daylights out of the person recieving the hug)#but im not good enough friends with him to be comfortable just going up and asking for a hug. because. Anxiety#and i know he'd be okay with it!!! but the only time i see him is at drama club!!!!#and given the fact that my current emotional state is such that if properly hugged i Might start fucking crying#im not taking the risk of crying in front of the drama club#most of them wouldnt care that i did and the ones that do wouldn't saying anything about it (i hope)#but still. no.#anyway#its not that any of my friends give bad hugs#some of them give better hugs than others but its not like any of them give *bad* hugs#just. idk. i want hugs#and i dont really get hugs because im the *giving* hugs guy

Wow me, drawing Jersey? Craazzzyyyyy
Anyway, I had an original design for this type of look on the Ipad, ended up not looking at it once since I apparently have memory. Kinda glad I didn't since I could go just by memory and figure it out as I went along ya know. (ps, for those who don't normally read tags just like, please do, i put so many lil things in there lolz)
Okay SO, I have this lil headcanon, nothin big, that Jersey didn't used to wear shorts until like 2000 or something, maybe a bit before then. This is because he has some scars on his legs, just from over the years, and wearing shorts not only shows those but also make it easier for him to get scrapes and such.
He was fine wearing shorts around NY, Del, and Rhode, occasionally Mass as well if he happened to be around at the time. He couldn't wear them around anyone else for a long time, some scars had Memories(tm) attached to them, some good most bad, so he just never wore shorts.
He's gotten a lot more comfortable wearing them around the other states over the years, mainly because of Covid where Mass unfortunately wouldn't let him keep wearing the same two pairs of pants. So he's fine now, if still a lil uncomfortable around some states (the west mainly), you just won't see him wearing them until it's the first day over 60 in state.
Anyway I love NJ but this isn't surprising, I live here. I am NOT a simp for this bitch, he's my state, I have to like him, 'sides who else would I attach to? Pennsylvania? Florida? Or god forbid NEW YORK!? Absolutely not, that's sacrilegious that is.
#welcome to the table#wttt#wttt new jersey#wttsh new jersey#also#jersey with a bun#how we feelin bout it#i personally love it#like i love the idea that his hair is shorter underneath#like maybe from an undercut thats just outgrown?#also also the headband he's using is one of SJs#although they are more like communal headbands#since yorkie connie and a few other northers “borrow” them#i feel like this pic was taken sometime during the summer#either at the shore or a roller rink#i feel like jersey would drag the group out all the time during the summer#the group being york connie penn rhode florida loui cali new mex north dakota and occasionally texas and kentucky#florida and loui only join because of cali#connie because there needs to be one “responsible” adult to supervise (he isnt much better but is trusted)#nd because jersey is very persuasive (he really isnt but nd caves quickly)#texas mainly joins when food is involved or its a rodeo#and kentucky would just more but sigh horses#honestly more states would join but they either learned their lesson (cough The Action Park Incidents(tm) cough)#or jersey never thought to ask them because the poor boy has self esteem problems since apparently NJ is one of the most disliked states#still sad about the btw cause NJ is so nice but also please stay away we dont want you here#anyway he thinks that most states dont like him so he only invites those that he knows dont hate him#so most of OG13 plus florida and loui

i did okay i guess
#so i got a b in the other exam#it might have been a more difficult one because one person in my friend group in that course actually failed it#unfortunately i can't see the average on this exam but i might have done fairly well#i can't really complain when others failed the exam#at least i almost got full points on the quiz but the writing part let me down a bit#it's just a bit anoying because so many of the grammar mistakes were actually typos 😩🤦♀️ like i know how to write these words correctly#but i type so fast on the computer sometimes the letters of a word get switched up and i don't notice it oof 🥲#and i didn't have time to proofread it otherwise i might have noticed#altough i'm just a bit oblivious to my own mistakes if i had to read someone elses text i would notice surely#i also forgot a few commas or put them in the wrong place never were not my strong suit altough i got better with it#this might also have to do with ranting here on tumblr too much lmao 😅 i'm getting into the habit of typing too fast haha#just a bit unnecessary but i still have the 2nd exam and homework also accounts for something#an a is still possible#i keep thinking about what if only i got 2 more points on the quiz and another 2 on the writing task (if only i made less silly mistakes) 🥲#just missed an a by 3.5 points#but i have to believe i will do even better on the 2nd and get enough points for an a overall#i will bother my professor with sending him many practice writing texts before the next exam and also try simulate the time restrictions#because otherwise i can write so well if i have time to think how to correct and improve my texts but i need to be able to find mistakes#also in shorter amounts of time

i think if ed didnt have such a fear of confrontation they would diffuse situations the way i do: either blurt out the most random, off topic thing they could think of or, if it was directed toward themself, the most off the wall thing they could say that still works in context
#imagine: francisco yelling at isabel and ed just chiming up did you know ducks have a corkscrew penis?#if he tried to continue after the initial wtf moment ed could just say louder YEAH AND THE FEMALE DUCKS HAVE CORKSCREW VAGINAS.#BUT IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. GRANDPA GUERRA ISNT THAT CRAZY? SOMETIMES THEY HAVE DEAD ENDS TOO#paranatural#but in order for that to work you have to be willing to have the anger directed at you. and i dont think theyd be cool with that.#maybe in the future#is it a fear of confrontation? it feels that way to me and i cant think of a better term#i also suppose its not ‘diffusing a situation’ and more like. forcing a change in topic to take ppls minds off whatever was happening#and THEN diffusing the situation. or riding it out bc its gonna be much shorter than whatever was happening

...i wrote this series in 2017/2018 as teen wolf was coming to a close, but i didn't post them here since i was a little shy about my rarepair and also they're Extremely Explicit and i had a lot of kids following me for skeleton art. since those kids are all grown up now (?!?!?), here these finally are, on this blog for the first time Ever. the first fic is the best one, obviously - it's almost a ship manifesto, and i am proud to report i have won over skeptics with it <3 derek hale i love you forever
#just uh. you know. mind the tags. mind the tags and i'm NOT kidding#man there's so much i'd change about the first one if i was doing it again#but honestly i don't think i COULD ever do something like this again#i churned it out in a month and a half and basically just did not sleep. it was like being possessed#like i'd stay awake until 10am and grab a 3-4hr nap and then start writing it again#so even though there are some areas that could use a bit of technical polish#i don't think that level of sheer passion and NEED to get it out of me could ever be like it was then#it's like dragon age ii in that way#raw and authentic and unpolished and that's for better AND worse#i kind of feel the same way about gambler's knife sometimes. my brain was just pushing it out so fucking fast#that i wasn't capable of seeing the little things i'd have tweaked on something i did slower#i did also find the list of ''post fic vignettes'' i had planned for this series#try 10 (TEN!) fully outlined mini-sequels. good grief. only 2-3 of them would have been shorter than steady hands#liz writes#liz makes stuff#bday srb spam#queue

starting to feel bad about myself. i don't like the way i look. i'm feeling sad. my feelings are so overwhelming. i'm being scheduled for 7 hours of work and what if i can't handle that. life is moving so slow and so fast. i'm wasting my life it feels like. i'm just wasting everything
#i'm feeling so so bad right now#sleep better help because i don't know what else can and i'm really needing something in life to be good right now#i just removed someone on discord. we used to talk all the time. there responses became shorter. and then shorter. and then they stopped#talking to me. in a way it was freeing to let them go. it just didn't work out.#life is so bland sometimes. so sad.
