[vladdyissues]

Getting some writing done today. I hope to be updating Familiar soon and adding a couple Tumblr Ask Box fics as well—if I can just keep them from ballooning into multi-chapter works 😬

ok hi hello i am trying to get back into drawing (i've been in a horrific drawing slump for 5 months) so here's the loml

[ghost-bard]

Finally at the landsmeet, hope i can finally find out what makes ppl defend Loghain as a character, beyond what ive seen in cutscenes and Anora talking about him.

He’s interesting, i sort of get why he’s compelling story wise. But. Why do people defend him. I am curious.

Apologies if im just bringing up old fandom talking points im playing the game for the first time 🙏

[momentomori24]

*claps hands* Ok. Yttd people, I'm gonna need you to behave yourself about soushin and Midori specifically right now. You know who you are.

[lemonisntreal]

heyo! Just found your blog and I was scrolling through your stuff and noticed your AU tone deaf. And I haven't found anything about what it is or what your idea is behind it. So I wanted to ask if you could give me an introduction to your AU!

Oh! And I absolutely love your artstyle and how you draw Buster! Anyway, hope you drink enough water and have a good day/night! ;)

Dear god this has been in my drafts for a while-

Hiya! Sorry for that lack of info lol, I'd been inactive for a long time, and the time that I actually WAS posting consistently was back when things were still being sorta fleshed out. But I've got a pretty good idea of how every single part moves at this point, so sure :D I'll give a not-so-brief summary lol [under a cut because I couldn't not dump multiple paragraphs teehee ~_~]

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

Tone Deaf is like a dystopian version of Sing, if I were to put it super duper simply. One where Buster's issues get more emotional focus, and we get actual bonds with the cast because the movie forgot to do that.

Buster is, also, a lot more unhinged, fair warning. This fic's gonna contain violence and tackle some darker subjects [adjacent to grief and denial more specifically] so if it feels like I jumped a lot of sharks, it's because I 100% did.

It kinda started with me noticing how, in the actual movies btw, smaller characters like Buster and Mike had more difficulty getting around places. This led me to ask myself about how species differences could lead to struggles for certain animals since the city just isn't built for everyone [this is NOT Zootopia]. Ash's quills, and Meena's towering size were things I noticed too that would be massive problems, realistically. So after a lot of pondering, now we're here.

The world of Tone Deaf in present day is in a post-war period that's lasted about 50 years now [Crawly is actually a veteran from this war- which was more like complete and total anarchy if I'm being real, since there weren't really any sides until near the end...]

Long story short, the wealthy capitalized off of the war and taking people prisoner- so they purposefully kept it going. A resistance ended up forming to stand against this [Miss Crawly being one of the generals, with that classic missing eye] and after their army stormed the unsuspecting stronghold, the war finally began to conclude. It still took around a year after that to release all of the prisoners of war, and by the end of it all, the damage that had been done to some races was permanent. Even extinction-level in some cases- some animals just straight up don't exist anymore because of it.

Back to Calatonia. Laws that are in place to protect animals from tearing eachother apart are still relatively new, and the criminal underbelly of Calatonia is kinda out of control. Animals get kidnapped/poached, smaller animals are at a huge disadvantage and have basically no power [politically or otherwise], endangered species are a very real thing, poverty is a huge issue for most of the population- and in the middle of all this is Buster Moon.

He's gonna be the main perspective. And the story will also serve as a slight character study on him, mixed with my own grittier and batshit insane changes/headcanons/alternate universe ideas on his backstory. He's a ray of sunshine with a lot of bottled-up feelings that will kinda really take control of the story.

Buster has been arrested multiple times. He's been put in unsuccessful therapy. He's still grieving his dad. He's committing crime and compulsively lying about those illegal actions too. He has emotional difficulties that he hasn't dared try touching on in years, and he has issues with letting go- which, is kinda how all of his new problems come to be.

The threat of his theater being repossessed if his show isn't a success gets a LOT more emphasis too.

But on top of that is the added threat of Buster getting sent out of the city if he can't get his business up and running. Remember how I mentioned endangered animals?? Well Koalas are one of them. One of the big ones, actually. He's the only Koala in a city of almost five hundred thousand, and it's been that way for almost half a decade now. It's been causing issues for the people in charge for half a decade now. Koalas have government-protected settlements far away from here due to their numbers being so few, so if Buster loses the theater? That's the next step for him.

But, to help this poor dude through all the stress of life is the found-family he develops with the cast he hired. He helps them for a lot of the first act, and then they give back his kindness in the second. They connect through their similar experiences, as well as their shared passion for music and performance. And by the end, maybe Buster's okay. Or maybe he's had a complete downward spiral [not gonna speak of act three 🥰]

Other characters have also had a shift in their dynamics. Things in the story have changed. Like for instance- Gunter already knew Buster and was a close friend of him and Eddie before the show, Judith is now the mayor and a main character, Pete has been put in place of the banker in charge of Buster's accounts, Buster unfortunately gets involved in politics, Mike actually gets to bond with the cast- actually the cast gets to bond with the cast point blank period [idc what you say, this just straight up doesn't happen in the canon movies], and to top it all of is a generous helping of angst with a few acts of violence sprinkled in 🤭

The actual Act I summary is this right now:

Buster had been in tight situations before-- suffocating situations, even. He’d been in every kind of trouble imaginable, he thought. With family, friends, local businesses, the law. But he'd always wormed his way out, either through loopholes or by charm. Or usually just by stacking another lie on top of his already crumbling facade. But this time it's gonna take more than a cover-up to fix this. ‏‏‎ Buster’s dishonesty takes him too far once again, a simple typo causing him to unintentionally land himself in a wager that could cost his very life. He has two months to fix this- to ACTUALLY fix this. And the worst part is that he hadn't even meant to lie this time. ‏‏‎ The First Act of Tone Deaf.

TLDR; Buster learns to love again after experiencing the horrors of animalkind firsthand and being healed by theater kids LMFAO

I realised I somehow apparently never posted about this, but back in summer I wrote a fan letter to Veers' actor Julian Glover, thanking him for his work and asking for an autograph, and I actually got an answer! Pretty fast even, I think it only took about one month or so? It was my first time sending a fan letter to an actor of an f/o of mine (or any character I like), and I'm so happy! I framed the autograph and have it displayed on a shelf in my room now🥰

[mintandcreme]

you mentioned you were in your vpop era on a post, can you give me some recs? 👀

OMG?! I’m so grateful you asked because I’ve been wanting to talk about it to someone but haven’t got the chance. THANK YOU lol! I got kind of carried away though… :( so I’m super sorry about it. I translated the names and summarized the lyrics (or it was an attempt to cause they’re kinda off 🤡) so you can choose which ones interest you the most 😭

On the bright side, more options cause I’m not sure about your taste! (Some of these I don’t listen to though haha)! Ballads:

Phía Sau Mot Co Gai [Behind a Girl] - Soobin Hoàng Sơn - {Unrequited love, so he watches from afar and wishes he had known her sooner}

2. Giá Như Em Nhìn Lại [Pretend You Looked Back] - JSOL - {Regret towards a past relationship - wish he had known the outcome}

3. Đủ Xa Tình Sẽ Cũ [When Far Away Enough, Love Will Get Old] - JSOL (My favorite song right now) - {Waiting for someone who never comes}

4. Không Thể Cùng Nhau Suốt Kiếp [Can’t Be Together Forever] - Hoa Minzy (my favorite version is with Hoa Minzy, Duc Phuc, and Erik for the high notes, but the more heartbreaking version is the one with Hoa Minzy and Mr. Siro) - {Is heartbroken and wonders why they broke up}

5. Đợi đến tháng 13 [Wait Until The 13th Month] - Vu Thịnh - {Relationship ended yet still waiting for something impossible}

6. Anh Cứ Đi Đi [Just Go] - Hari Won - {Guy cheats, girl tells him to leave because he cheated, and cause she wants to see him happy 💀}

Cute??? Songs:

Hiếm Có Khó Tìm [Rare and Hard to Find] - JSOL, Han Sara - {You’re the one I’ve been looking for}

2. Trên Tình Bạn Dưới Tỉnh Yêu [Above Friendship, Below Lovers] - MIN - {Platonic love}

3. Đẹp Nhất Là Em [Prettiest is You] - Soobin Hoang Son, Jiyeon (There’s a Korean version and I think the lyrics are different) - {Girl is insecure and guy reassures her that she’s pretty and he loves her inside out}

4. Ngày Đẹp Trời Để Nói Chia Tay [A Pretty Day to Break Up] - Lou Hoang - {I think they fell out of love and he’s at her wedding and they’re both trying not to cry? I don’t really know 😭}

5. Từng quen [Used To Know] - Wren Evans - {Wondering if one regrets the past relationship? Translation in wonky lol}

Chill Songs:

vaicaunoicokhiennguoithaydoi [A Few Words Can Change People ] - GREYD, tlinh - {Think before you speak cause they can hurt a relationship :D}

2. Nen Yeu Hay Khong Nen [Should I Love You Or Not] - JSOL (on the verge of sad, but I think it’s chill) 💀- {Guy decides if he should confess cause he think if he does, it’ll ruin their friendship (guess what he chooses 🤡)}

3. Het Yêu Thật Sâu (Let Me Love You) [Did We Truly Fall Out Of Love (Let Me Love You)] - JSOL - {No one will ever love you like I do}

4. Từng Là [Used to Be] - Vu Cat Tuong - {Used to be lovers}

Side note: “Anh Trai Say Hi,” has a LOT of songs lol that got me into Vpop, and is the only survival show I’ll watch fully because all the contestants are pretty much established musicians, so when they get disqualified, you still get updated on their stats and get new music later (probably lol)! If you’re interested in some songs, here are two! 1. SAO HẠNG A [Class A Star] - {A celebrity falls in love and is absolutely enamored}

2. NGÁO NGƠ [Fool] - {Even though broke up, realizes still a fool for her and wants her back. Girl’s like nah, forget me}

people who write essays or are having a meltdown in reaction to my art, I hope you know you are living so rent free in my brain

[devilsskettle]

can’t sleep and now i’m thinking about changing my plan for what to wear to work so please help me decide

option 1: orange plaid pants and matching vest with white collared shirt underneath, spider pins, and orange eyeshadow (and maybe black lipstick?)

option 2: black dress with black lace sleeves, bone earrings, black lipstick (and purple, green, or red eye makeup), and maybe spider pins also
