[star-girl69]

OMG THE LITTLE FAMILY STUFF IS SO CUTE now imagine ivy like accidentally calling the reader amd clarisse mom for the first time OR OR someone (percy) like coming over and being like "hey I don't think this parenthood is a good idea here" (bc just imagine clarisse junior in the future) and ivy is wtf so she starts defending them and being like THOSE ARE MY PARENTS (10 yo vs 12 yo standoff go!!)

LETS GO I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS FAMILY I LOVE EVERYTHING

the first time ivy calls you mom it’s not on purpose

you just basically are her mom

all she knows is you treat her how a mom is supposed to treat their daughter

you’re probably like dropping her off at arts and crafts class and she casually goes

“ok bye mom see you later!”

cue the tears

you’re screaming and crying and hyperventilating and RUNNING straight to clarisse who is training and she’s like OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED ARE YOU OKAY

and you’re like

“i-i-i-ivy oh my god clar ivy-”

“SOMETHING HAPPENED TO IVY?!?!??!?” protective mom mode activated

“NO SHE CALLED ME MOM”

“oh. OH. SHE CALLED YOU MOM?????”

“I KNOW” 😭😭😭😭😭😭

clarisse is so happy she’s like aw omg she’s a little jealous on the inside but she’s fine she’s fine she’s fine

she’s not fine if you couldn’t tell

but clarisse doesn’t have to wait too long bc the next day clarisse wakes up at like 3am and has to go to the bathroom and little adorable baby ivy sits up too rubbing her eyes and is like

“mom? where are you going?”

she’s about to LOSE. HER. SHIT.

but it’s late and she doesn’t want to overwhelm ivy so she keeps it cool and just says she’s going to the bathroom she’ll be back soon

anyways later you both sit ivy down and ivy is like WOAH WOAH WOAH WHATS HAPPENING

and you’re trying to be professional and adult about it

but you’re like “YOU CALLED ME MOM!!!! YOU CALLED CLAR MOM!!!!!! AND ITS OK!!!!! WE LOVE YOU AND WE ARE YOUR MOMS BASICALLY!!!!!”

ivy is like “I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE BUT I LOVE YOU MOMS”

happy family ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

just to clarify y’all PERCY DOES NOT ACTUALLY THINK CLARISSE AND Y/N ARE BAD FOR IVY ITS JUST THERES TWO OF THEM CAN WE ATTACH A LEASH TO THE LITTLE ONE MAYBE

so let’s pretend it’s just another random rude ass 12 year old who’s name will be…. hm…… mark!

so mark and ivy are like chilling around at the training grounds waiting for their turn and then mark is like “oh my god you’re so bad you can even hold the sword correctly”

ivy is ????? she’s holding it the way clarisse taught her to hold it so what…….

“um? idk…. this is how you hold it dude…..”

and then you come over innocently and you’re like “hi ivy baby you forgot your water i’m gonna leave it right here!” and she’s like “ok mom!” bc you’re her mom and she loves you

so then mark is like “NO WAYYYYY YOU CALL HER MOM????”

“YES BC SHE IS MY MOM DO YOU HAVE A DAMN PROBLEM!?!?!?”

“i just feel sorry for you like your own parents didn’t want you so the best you could get was two random teen girls??? LMAOOOO i bet they’re horrible ‘parents’ too ”

“BITCH IM GONNA-”

ivy may be tiny but she uses that to her advantage and jumps on top of people

so she starts scratching and kicking and hitting screaming “TAKE IT BACK TAKE IT BACK TAKE IT BACK”

bro mark is crying

one of mark’s friends drag ivy off of him and then you and clarisse run over at the commotion

and all you see is this kid crying, another kid holding ivy back- her hairs all messy and she’s kicking and screaming still

the kid very quickly drops ivy when he sees you

you have to THROW yourself in front of her so she won’t attack him again

clarisse just presses the tip of her spear into mark’s armor and he’s like “IM SORRY IM SORRY WAHHHHH WAHHHHHHHH”

ivy is laughing hysterically “THATS WHAT I THOUGHT THATS WHAT I FREAKING THOUGHT YOU LOSER!!!!!!!”

you’re in such shock WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR PRECIOUS BABY

clarisse is proud but confused

ivy is hugging you, her face pressed in your stomach when clarisse crouches down next to her

“you wanna tell me what happened?”

“well first he said i was holding my sword wrong but I WASNT i was holding it like this the way you taught me and then mom came over and then he started laughing when i called her mom and then he said you guys were probably horrible parents and i was SO MAD so i started attacking him”

ivy rn: 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

you’re horrified shocked and angry like it’s not an idea situation but ivy is loved and safe what more do they want from you?

you feel kinda shitty bc you love ivy so much but if you’re not what’s best for her than you’ll do anything

clarisse hugs her and kisses her head “good job protecting this family little warrior”

and you’re like “yes ivy you did an amazing job but remember violence is not always the answer”

(clarisse and ivy share their secret look again)

but later that night while ivy is getting ready for bed you’re telling clarisse that you’re concerned, maybe everyone who throws you the dirty looks are right, maybe you’re not what’s best for ivy

clarisse is ???

“ivy…. baby….. uh…. equals…. mine??? ….confused..”

but ivy overhears you and then SHE starts yelling at YOU

“EVERYONE IS SO SAD AND MAD AND I HATE IT LETS JUST BE HAPPY AND YOU GUYS STOP BEING MEAN”

ok 🫡

eventually clarisse expresses it more articulately to you than ivy can, “who cares about what anyone else thinks? i’m happy, your happy and ivy’s happy. everyone else can get punched in the face!”

IVY IS EXCITED

anyways happy family again ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

( backdated / 10.25 )

with a quick message sent to her now, closest friend, jihan could be seen hiding behind the brick wall of the boy’s dorm outside, waiting for a familiar figure to emerge. of course, she would never be caught dead going inside but she wanted to hand off his birthday gift in person, or well, with some distance just in case.

sitting at the front entrance door, there were black and white balloons tied to a bag that sat in the corner. inside could be an assortment of records that she knew he had his eyes on for a while, along with a CD she created herself of songs that he mentioned over the past few months. she attached a handwritten letter that read,

“happy birthday! you’re getting so old, how does that feel?

all jokes aside, i am happy to call you my friend. i know we had our ups and downs in the beginning, and while you still get underneath my skin still, i wouldn’t replace you with anyone else. i promised myself not to get so cheesy in this letter but you know me, i can’t help it sometimes. now, i hope you can enjoy some good music! i saw you eyeing it the last time we went to the record store. though, the CDs I had custom-made are just songs you never shut up about… now you have them all in one place!

enjoy your day~“ 

⸻ ( A FEW MOMENTS LATER… )

Byeongkwan shuffles out of the dorm entrance, phone in hand, expecting to see a familiar face waiting for him. To his surprise - evidenced by the over the top and totally not exaggerated shocked look on his face - there was no Jihan but a bag with his name on it. He crouches down to excitedly shuffle through the vinyls, ooo-ing and ahh-ing at the album art, already anticipating adding them to his steadily growing collection. The CD really catches his attention, making a mental note to remember to snag his old player on his next trip home.

He gives the note a quick read, alternating between playful snorts and a warm smiles. Had Jihan been nearby he’d surely jut out his bottom lip and swipe away a few fake tears, maybe even offer a drama award worthy ‘I’m so touched, really.’ He slips the bag’s handles onto his arm and starts to head back inside, but not before flashing a grin in the direction of the far wall and sending a quick text.

Got your gift! I’ll send pics once I set up my new album wall, these are going to look epic! Wahhhhh your note almost made me tear up, you know. I’m even sniffling a little bit… Here’s to another year of being older, wiser, and getting on your nerves lol

[critai]

[thedistantdusk]

since u wont answer my ask about which fics u don't like....what are some fics you LOVE that no one else likes??? hehehe

Ha! Damn straight, I won’t answer that question! Opinions are dangerous things in some circles... and as it turns out, this is one of those circles! ;)

That being said, there are a few fics I absolutely adore that others don’t like as much -- and honestly, that’s fine too! I hate this notion that we should all like the exact same content and offer the same boiler-plate, glowing praise. I don’t think I could exist in a community that wasn’t focused on concrit and improvement versus everyone being into the exact same things 100% of the time. Variety is the spice of life, as they say! :D

So that being said... here is my totally just-for-fun, not-from-a-place-of-authority, not-in-any-particular order list of fics I like that other people usually don’t. Obviously, your mileage may (and should) vary... I’m just giving what is strictly my opinion based on what I’ve heard around the interwebs!  

For starters, @jenoramaca and I love Things You Shouldn’t Do at Christmas by a kissinacrisis, but almost everyone else I’ve recommended it to disagrees for some reason or other. I think this fic very realistically conveys what a young couple might go through, especially if said couple was forced into a huge responsibility/the enormity of a lifelong relationship at age 17. 

In that vein, I looooove Compromise: A Love Story by femmenerd. It features one of my all-time favorite depictions of Ginny and it’s inspired a lot of my headcanons. However... I’ve been told point-blank I’m wrong for liking this fic (?) because Ginny would “obviously” want to get married right away and because Harry would never be an auror. (And don’t get me started on that topic. Just don’t.)

By now, it should also be no surprise that I’m obsessed with the Tea Time series by frombluetored. In particular, I lurrrrve Set Fire to Our Homes, but some wrong people think it’s too long. And to these wrong people, here is what I say: I’m far from an expert, but I’ve been reading Harry Potter fanfiction for almost 20 years of my life. Believe me when I tell you that I’ve absolutely never cared about OCs as much as I care about the ones in this series. It’s legitimately baffling that anyone could walk away from someone as adorable and damaged as Caden Rowle, but what can I say? We can’t all be perfect!

Ok, this last rec usually gets a lot of hate... but I’ve been building to it for a reason. I’ve defended this fic on almost every corner of the internet -- and if this is the hill I die on, so be it, world!

My favorite fic ever is Buried Treasure and Transmogrify by Rienna Hawkes. Some wrong people think it’s too sexually graphic and that it features too much Snape and wahhhhh, but I... don’t actually care? Like, you’re absolutely entitled to think that and it’s your opinion, but I will vehemently disagree, because I effing love everyone in this story and it’s beautiful and perfect and I can’t.

Annnyway, outside of @floreatcastellumposts (and a few others), there just aren’t many authors who check every single box for me in terms of aligning with my headcanon. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of authors I love — and a lot of authors I’m happy to call myself friendly with! It’s just rare for me to find someone who syncs with me 100% of the time. And I’m sure many of you don’t agree with my headcanons, either, which is a-ok! I’m just explaining that this fic matches for me!

So yeah, for me, BT&T is one of those rare unicorns. (And if you’ve read it, you will understand why I’m chortling like a child over the word unicorn.) I first read BT&T when it came out in the mid-2000s (on Checkmated, no less!), and when I got back into fanfic a couple of years ago, I was beyond pleased that it was still available. 

I’m not sure if that rambling was clear enough, so please allow me to explain the depth of my insanity when it comes to Buried Treasure and Transmogrify.

I love this fic so much that I’ve memorized entire passages. I love it so much that I regularly (and fruitlessly) message the author... who has not existed on the internet in almost four years. It’s a legitimate tragedy that the sequel, Heroes for Ghosts, has not been updated since September 2015. Imo, we will forever be without the “true” story of how Harry was made, because to me, this series is so achingly beautiful that (with very few exceptions) it’s how I envision Marauder canon. 

I’m not exaggerating when I say this fic taught me how to write romance novels. I’m also not exaggerating when I say that I used to sneak out of my planning block in high school to read it in the library because I’m old and computers didn’t have profanity filters back then. 

So yeah. There is a certain degree of sentimental attachment... but truly, I adore this one. Your headcanon might totally disagree with how the characters are portrayed, but you still have to appreciate the depth of research that went into this fic. It’s a work of art. 

Soooooo. There is tonight’s edition of overshare, folks! Thank you for coming to my TED Talk!  😬😬😬

ETA: Y’all know I’m joking when I say you’re wrong, right? Cause that was the whole point of this post... No one is wrong when it comes to stories they love! ❤️

[icequeen-shiva]

alright, you know what

about two weeks ago maybe by now, i made a post about how i’ve recently hit 200 followers and i’d like to do a q&a again, and even with a reblog from someone more ~*popular*~ than me, and multiple reblogs once a day for a few days by myself, i didn’t get a single fucking question. not one. earlier today i posted two pictures of myself where i felt pretty (i’ve since deleted them) and nobody i actually know of liked it and i got asked by a stranger who doesn’t even follow me if i had any nsfw pictures. i don’t get asks anymore, i don’t get shit. and that tells me that, you may be following me, but you aren’t connecting with me. and i feel that. i get on tumblr and i don’t feel like i’m friends with fucking anybody. and i did that. i know i did that. 9/10 times i let my fear of rejection and embarrassing myself overcome my desire to talk to people, so i don’t do it, or i let it fizzle out and we go our own ways and we don’t become friends. 1/10 times i actually function as a human being and make a connection or at least something that sticks a little.

so here, below the cut, is a comprehensive (loosely) list of things that i like, in no particular order at all, besides tickling, because apparently both sides of this need a little help connecting on any front.

scooby-doo

beetlejuice

the addams family

the sims

the mcu

classic disney animations; my favorites are dumbo, the great mouse detective, the rescuers, sleeping beauty, and oliver and company (it’s old enough that i consider it in the classic category)

~modern disney animations too; my favorites are treasure fucking planet, coco, and... i’m a sap, beauty and the beast. rise of the guardians too even though it isn’t disney.

musicals; i can’t pick a favorite just fucking ask me, but i don’t know a lot of newer ones honestly

empire records

the greatest showman still

cats (i mean the animals but i also like the show even though it is Weird As Hell)

my cat in particular

alice in wonderland

stranger things

space jam

tsum tsums

elvira, mistress of the dark

dice

kiki’s delivery service and specifically jiji things

winnie the pooh i don’t even fucking care i LOVE HIM AND ALL OF HIS FRIENDS

silly hats

playdoh

interesting earrings

exploring libraries or big bookstores

true crime mysteries; my favorite youtuber for this is georgia marie, bless her. i also watch bella fiori and kendall rae

fictional mysteries too

i have a kind of fascination with jack the ripper and with the lizzie borden case

shipwrecks! i don’t know why but shipwrecks fascinate me! why did they go down? all the stories that went with them!

i once read a novel that was told as a series of letters, or journal entries, by people on the titanic, including the iceberg and it was THE absolute saddest book i have ever read in my life. like, obviously i knew what was coming, but i got attached to the characters, the letters made them alive and it was just like... NO. NO I DON’T WANT THEM TO DIE. I KNOW THEY’RE GOING TO BUT THEY CAN’T. and it was awful. i had to put it down and cry.

cryptozoology

the bermuda triangle theories (i’m not saying i believe sOmEtHiNg’S gOiNg On but i think some of the theories are interesting)

ghosts

the nancy drew computer games

monopoly

i still play a lot of my snes games; my go-to time killer and head-clearer honestly is kirby’s avalanche. i also play a lot of super mario rpg legend of the seven stars, super mario world, kirby’s dreamland 3, and donkey kong 2 and 3

final fantasy x in which i’m guaranteed to call almost (i can’t stress that enough) every character at some point “my child”

hyrule warriors, i know it’s not a tRuE zelda game but it’s fucking fun

same with fire emblem warriors

red dead redemption

kingdom hearts

the uncharted series

splatoon but i don’t have it wahhhhh

mind you i am not very Good at videogames, i just like to play them anyway

game grumps

ninja sex party

jacksepticeye

markiplier

monty python

crocheting

tea

harry potter

classic rock. pretty big on queen lately. i like tom petty and the heartbreakers. i like joan jett and the blackhearts.

i just... like rock. across the board. i like the offspring. i like some rage against the machine songs. acdc on the radio makes me happy. def leppard on the radio makes me happy. beartooth, starset, powerman 5000, as long as it’s got a good beat and good stuff going on behind the vocals then i’m gonna be happy. i’m way more into the guitars and the bass and everything going on instrumentally than i am vocally, honestly. the whole big guitar solo to van halen’s “you really got me” and then that bassline that comes in, that bassline is sexy. it’s so simple but i LIKE it.

anyway music as a whole gets me right in the heart and can lift me up when i am at my literal worst point

it’s hard for me to name a favorite or specific bands that i like because there’s so many and i’m not really picky about it. 

pop vinyls

good ol’ vines

buffalo wings

mac and cheese

grilled cheese

dr. pepper

i drink a l o t of dr. pepper

pretending i know how to do makeup well

history; i watch a lot of expedition unknown and mysteries at the museum, and sometimes i’ll watch a free documentary on youtube if it catches my attention. last weekend i explained the donner party to my boyfriend. just.. on a whim. because i’d just watched a thing on it and he said he didn’t really know what it was. i’m that person.

OH I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THIS BACK AROUND TRUE CRIME BUT I READ A BOOK ABOUT H.H. HOLMES AND HIS MURDER CASTLE AND THE CHICAGO WORLD’S FAIR. it was by erik larson, i believe. larsen? i could google this. devil in the white city. there’s been talks to make it a movie. it’s a good read though i will admit i skipped a lot of the fair parts because i was there for the murder.

i also read a book about the lusitania by the same author and i was like ohhh my goooood what. it got a little boring sometimes, i had to push myself to keep going, but i would read dead wake again.

csi: miami reruns are the greatest thing don’t @ me

dark purple and black aesthetics

just like... witchy aesthetics. those colors and black cats

if you haven’t noticed by any selfies i’ve posted, i do have my lip pierced and i love finding new lip jewelry. i have a new opal stud in and i love its look

leather jackets

combat boots; i have a galaxy print pair and a pair with classic marvel comics stuff printed on the inside and you can fold down the sides to show it. they’re my faves.

owls

drunk history

the first 5 seasons of supernatural and i still have a soft spot for the winchesters and castiel

i’m slowly making my way through watching the librarians

i’m also making my way slowly through watching the magicians

(american) football

nature walks

going to the zoo

going to the aquarium

like really take me to either of the above and i will lose my shit

road trips

savannah, georgia

the smokey mountains

last august i drove by myself from ohio to boone, north carolina for a friend’s wedding and that wedding was smack on a mountain top and it was the coolest thing i think i’ve ever done

roller coasters BUT NOT EXTREME ONES baby steps ok

log rides tho, i don’t know why, i always love the water rides

ren faires!

cosplay, even though i’m not exactly active in it myself (but i want to be; one of my offline friends is an actually-getting-kind-of-internet-famous mei from overwatch cosplayer)

cards against humanity

foosball

pool but i suck at it

speaking of pools i love swimming ... but i suck at it, i just like boppin’ along in a pool

cookouts

summer

there is nothing like being out in the middle of nowhere in summer when the evening starts to fall and the sky is dark, dark blue and there’s a sea of shimmering lightning bugs out over a field. it’s beautiful. it’s peaceful.

there’s nothing like sitting outside on a calm spring night and listening to the spring peepers (they’re frogs) either.

if you couldn’t tell, i live in the middle of nowhere. i have to find enjoyment in the little things.

campfires

dancing around said campfire, you cannot have a campfire without good music. this is when a lot of my classic rock education came to pass.

elephants

my favorite books are the abhorsen trilogy by garth nix, tied with the serpent’s shadow by mercedes lackey

i am trying to get into comic books by way of the youtube channel comicstorian. they break comic books down for you and read them aloud with the images, altered slightly to avoid copyright strikes (and that’s all made very clear, it’s not done sketchily), and it’s been really easy for someone like me who doesn’t just have a comics store close (and i would otherwise continue on as i have been, forgetting to ever look for them on the internet). i listened to injustice 1 and 2, and they covered the game. i’m actively following scooby apocalypse, and there was some teen titans stuff i went all the way through up until now. i don’t think it’s finished yet from what i remember.

i love museums

candles

i actually kind of collect tea sets

i also have a collection of sand art bottles AND IF I’M EVER AT A FESTIVAL OR A FAIR WHERE THERE IS A SAND ART STAND YOU CAN BET I AM GOING TO MAKE ONE

yugioh duels; i’m definitely just a novice and it’s just a fun pastime my friends got me into when they found their giant binders of cards again

i’m not actually that big on pokemon, i don’t know a lot of them but it’s still fun and i know some. but i did love pokemon go when my friends still played it (don’t really have time anymore, and it kept crashing way too badly on one of their phones anymore anytime they tried to join a raid and it just wasn’t fun as a group then)

i don’t have any but i like the ~look of crystals and would like to have some, not for my own aesthetic but i just... like having pretty things!

listening to the rain

how the air smells (at least where i live) after a long rain and everything is just cleansed

depression has stopped me from writing for a long time but, in my heart, writing has always been something that has touched me ever since i knew how to do it and could put my stories down on paper instead of having to just talk about them... so i’m going to include that here

root beer floats

hotdogs

hard dip ice cream (if you don’t know what hard dip means... as my boyfriend didn’t... it means ice cream that you have to use a scoop with, not soft serve)

soft serve’s good too tho don’t get me wrong

strawberry milkshakes

this isn’t even stuff that anyone would need to know on this site to befriend me at this point, nobody’s gonna message me like HEY I READ YOU LIKE STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKES ME FUCKING TOO

you’re cool if you do that lmao

so bad they’re good creature features from the 50s and 60s

the old godzilla movies

i like the moon more than the stars, but i like them too

flower crowns

bouncy balls

original skittles

this has gone on way too long, nobody is reading this, your mom’s a hoe, goodnight

no she’s not, i’m sorry, if you got this far then i hope your mom is a nice person

🎀 12/6 🎀

i played pkmn all day and took down koga sabrina & silph co. my team is eevee (lunetta) ninetails (dawn) vileplume (hibiscus) dewgong (crumb) nidoqueen (queeni) and clefable (ichigo) and we are all fairy princesses even crumb who is a boy

was feelin sick since i woke up yesterday but i made a concerted effort to take care of myself on my days off so i’d feel better when i go back 2 work tmrrow.. i had a lot of stuff i had to get done on my days off but i resisted doing it for my health. didn’t drop off my rent on the 1st cause i said i’d do it on my days off LOL didn’t happen.....gonna have to wait till monday cause i work 9-6 2morrow and i’ll be working the whole time they’re open pfft but it’s ok. i can deal w/ the late fees. but i can’t put it off any longer I CAN’T

i wish i woulda been more conservative w/ my money this last month but i bought the limited edition kh3 kairi coat which was...............300$ and that doesn’t even include shipping LOL it releases in like april and by that point i won’t even need a coat much longer but i wasn’t gonna miss out |: @ me why ya like this. i really want to get smash 2morrow b/c the storymode already looks like its gonna make me cry and everyone’s so excited about it but. I DON’T KNO IF I HAVE 60$ TO SPARE RIGHT NOW. LUNE HAS A VET APPT AND THAT’LL BE AT LEAST 75$ + 425$ RENT o well i guess i gotta wait till next week when i get paid :-( or. maybe i won’t LMAOOOO (i’m excited joker got in even tho i personally am not a huge fan of persona b/c it’s not great 2 gays and girls aka me but this means sora might get in) 

talked 2 semmy and kitty&davey and eric a lil bit 2day so i wasn’t lonely. i always worry i’ll get lonely around the holidays living by myself but i don’t need 2 worry so much b/c i don’t need to b around other ppl physically to feel companionship. it’s weirdly engrained in me 2 think so but. i have never been that way. maybe it’s b/c my whole family will be away for crustmas this year. but if i have my hubby i will be happy

i am a goblin who throws all her shit on the floor and i really need to clean the apartment LOL but lune likes when there’s a bunch of stuff to play with so i don’t feel so bad. i needed to do some shopping so i don’t starve but i couldn’t get out wahhhhh. maybe tomorrow after work.

i love my new haircut but i know my daddy (REAL BIOLOGICAL FATHER) is not going to like it. he’s so “old fashioned” as my mama says, he wants a feminine daughter with long pretty hair, he thinks a pixie cut can’t be feminine. he liked my long hair so much but? that was never me. sometimes it felt ok, but it was too hard to deal with and take care of. and a pixie cut is so cute.....it’s so sweet and innocent, it’s princessy. i hope my daddy will realize that.

i wanted to do some doodling but couldn’t get out of bed for long enuff. art block has been overwhelming lately so i was gonna try to work thru it on my days off but i might wait till after the holidays. lays on floor. one step at a time.

lunetta is sticking her head in the mcdonalds bag

AX 2018 report!!

Are you sick of me saying "thank you" yet?? TOO BAD, I wrote you all a long one.

TL;DR If you don't want to read it all, please skip to the "**Anyway.." mid-way thru 

(real) TL;DR Thank you for letting me create for you <33 

------------------------

A few days have passed since the end of Anime Expo 2018; I’ve had a few nights to recollect all my thoughts and gratitude. This was my second time selling at AX and the first time selling again after returning from Japan.

I had some hesitation in returning to AX. Sure, my first year selling at AX, profit wise, was great. As a newcomer, being able to make 4 digits of profit was unbelievable, def a huge milestone. I am of course very VERY very thankful, however, this was not what selling at AX Artist Alley (and any AA in general) meant to me.

To me, my art is a way to express the person I want to be. I make my art colorful, bubbly, wacky, different, friendly, and (hopefully) magical because I strive for those traits in myself; I never had the confidence to express this through my appearance and everyday demeanor. I make sure my art is full of love and fun I want people to see me thru my art.  

To me, Artist Alley is a bridge connecting the “me” I express with my art to the world. Why do I do all this???? One word: passion. And my passion is being creative; because with creativity, hard work and content made to make people smile...anyone can conjure up magic! I want to make magic and inspire others to do so.

My first year of AX lacked all of this. I received many compliments but  I hardly felt a connection between an audience and my peers. There were many factors that contributed to this. Our neighbors were a pillar and a very busy artist, nervousness, stress, fast-paced nature of AX, lack of practice talking to others, etc. Compared to smaller cons, despite great profits, AX 2017 AA was the least fulfilling yet.

I hope this helped set up the context as to why this year’s AX AA means a lot to me. Because since summer of 2017, I’ve gotten out of my comfort zone in MANY (art and non-art) ways and It made me a stronger person. Every day, I struggled and challenged myself and I learned a lot out of my comfort zone in order to grow. I practiced my communication skills (yes I had to practice; this is a weakness I needed to tackle, my art isnt going to share itself!), faced my fears, stood up to disbelievers, and understood myself.  I felt that in many ways, I started to become my art (?? lol).

Yeah, it seems silly, hyperbolic, and idealistic but I think all that was what lead to such a fun and successful AX 2018. I had the joy, confidence and the desire to share my art. No more shame, stiffness and hesitation.

**Anyway, here’s the hard part: expressing my gratitude into words. No amount of words can amount to how thankful I am. Many of you told me that you have been fans of my work for a while. Many told me that my art caught their eye while browsing twitter. Many were previous customers of my online store or cons. Lurkers of reddit/tumblr, twitter friends, work friends, etc. Heck, someone (who is now a new friend) came to my table the first thing in the morning???!!  Everyone, your visit, and our conversations meant a whole lot to me. I was able to make a connection; through my art and myself, I helped ignite a spark and I was able to learn and enjoy stories from a whole bunch of different people. I didn't use any gimmicks, over-analyzing , etc. I created what my heart wanted and it was my own effort to reach out to you all and you gave me a chance. Of course, thank you to those who made a purchase; which provides me the monetary support and makes it possible for me to continue doing this.  

When people told me my art makes them so happy, that out of all the AA my print spoke to them the most, ppl share me their favorite animal crossing stories, when siblings tell me how they bond with bang dream, when people show me the plushies they made of their favorite characters, when old artist friends visited me...If i listed every single memory, this would become an essay!!

Yeah, I went to some events and ate some nice food but all of this, YOU ALL, were my favorite memory from AX 2018.

The love, support, surprises, the stories, and memories created with my art are PRICELESS. As tiny sprinkles to the huge sundae of fulfillment, I was able to double my profits from last year which is like....HOW??? I’m insanely lucky and thankful. My heart is so full

I worked so hard, so so so hard. I will continue to work even harder every day. I’m always looking for more room to grow and to struggle. I want to create and give back. . . . *deep breath* Wahhhhh!! This will be a very memorable time and another milestone in my artistic career!!!!

To all my friends, new and old followers, lurkers, family, and peers: I hope that ultimately, I can repay the kindness. I hope that my art and my words will inspire you as much as you inspire me.

Thank you for letting me create for you <333

Me: A reintroduction or something

Hey you guys it's me George. I realized I was logged into my old blog and it still has everything I'm interested in seeing here and all the noise that used to be here from years ago is now gone. So. I'm back here. On this one. Anyway, my name is George Daileda and I'm pretentious as fuck. Not like "Haha I'm so pretentious", more like "Damn I'm a heaping pile of pretentiousness". It's true. I admit it. This whole blog is a tomb to my biggest flaws. One of which is that. Incredibly selfish, too driven for my own good (in a bad way tbh). And though a lot of it was driven by crippling depression and anxiety, my biggest flaw of all was that I such a self centered dipshit. Especially with all the "Oh woe is me, wahhhh, I'm 21 and a virgin, wahhhhh, pay attention to me please" Looking back at it is cringey. And I'm sorry for putting all of you through it. I'm thankful you never destroyed me for it. Or made me feel like the shit I was. But. Yeah. It was shitty of me. So. Thanks again. I still suffer from depression, that's never gonna go away, but it's way more manageable now. And I can more easily channel it into art, or conceptualize art with it. And step by step I'm working toward being a better me.
