calling my lover "mine" but not in the way that my toothbrush or notebook are mine, mine in the way my neighborhood is mine, and also everybody else's, "mine" like mine to tend to, mine to care for, mine to love. "mine" not like possession but devotion.

#nonbinary love #nblnb yearning #nb4nb #nblnb #wholesomeposting #yearning hours #ive been thinking about how some languages dont have a possessive tense #so you dont say “i have a thing” but rather “a thing is by me”#and like im not usually one for psycho linguistics and like critical thoughts etc etc etc #but i really like the framework of responsibility/commitment rather than ownership #i think about this mostly in terms of ecology #and relation to land #but i also love it as it applies to language shared between lovers #like i LOVE calling them mine or for them to call me theirs #but i'm also nonmonog and that was kinda weird to square for a while #and it clicked one time when i was talking about my neighborhood and i was like well #when i say my neighborhood or my city it's understood i'm not taking it away from anybody else #its understood i just mean the city where i live #so why cant we apply the same to lovers?#mine in the way i want to show up for you again and again #ok #done now

#again. im thinking about them again #you would say “of course shadow mc 'deserves' to be saved. everyone is allowed that!” but.#have you considered. you dont have to do that. why should you waste your time helping someone who doesnt put in the work to help themself?#why do that to yourself? this technically isnt your problem and you lose nothing to not help them. they wont even hate you for it.#why should they? they wont fault you for getting frustrated for trying to help them but them not. helping you do that.#they see that this is probably a bad thing but. they get it. they'll help you #obviously. they are the shadow mc. its their job. but. they dont expect that level of dedication fro. you.#its okay! no need to beat yourself up over this person light mc! they dont mind.#“its not about deserving or not. people help each other” true!#but. why help shadow mc when light mc is out there fighting tooth and nail to get better??#they help you and also dont expect anything in return but they thank you for your help. they apologize for bringing you down sometimes #they make it up to you; they //try//#and. who doesnt love a person who struggles? who cant help but come to love when you see #see they putting in all this genuine effort? it makes you want to help them you know?#its just. i guess i've been thinking people will feel more rewarded if...they help light mc..#but i gyess thats just how i see myself or something.

"I'll show you every day that choosing to live was worth it"

some of my favourite scenes from @hijinks-n-lowjinks' fic things i would miss from the other side . this fic tore my heart out fr but like in a good way and i wanted to pay it homage the only way i know how <3

BITING BITING BITING this fic #the domesticity the grief the casual yet unfathomably deep soulmatism.......im ruined i tell u Ruined #so naturally i dropped everything #remember how i said lefts/rights r my enemy my beloathed my nemesis. MIRRORS MADE IT SO MUCH WORSE FHGDSAJFGJS I WANTED DEATH #i was like this is incorrect. no this is correct. flips them around in my head. no im wrong again actually #purgatory tbh but we got there (watch me be wrong again tho if i am wrong again i think i will Cry)#anyway!!! i don't have much else to say except pls read the fic and show jinx some love they 1000% deserve it this fic 1000% deserves it #i could only draw so many scenes but i would draw all of it if i could #fr i ws so paranoid abt accuracy lmao cut 2 footage of me looking up rice cooker models and wtf the colour 'carnelian' was #i hope i got everything right i hope i did it justice :'>#also if any1 mentions how megumi's arm in 3 is at an awkward angle. look me in the eye and tell me youve comfortably cuddled with someone #i will call u a liar

Happy 1 year anniversary to Mr Sherlock Holmes! Here's a litttleee celebratory comic from me

#sherlock & co #sherlock and co #writing these tags on the 29th of september #which is when john and sherlock ACTUALLY met <3 #so there you go #uh once again shout out to candy for letting me talk through some of my processes #it helps immensely and i really wanted to be sure i was getting across what i wanted to with this one #speaking of which - usually i yap a lot in the tags of these bcus i love talking about art #for this one...im not sure i want to comment too much #because i'll be here forever and i think most things can speak for themself #but let me say this one thing #for the first five pages i was drawing john on paper and sherlock on the computer exclusively #and then bringing them together..#uh it really made me think of paul and harry. recording on opposite sides of the world. brought together by the power of editing #its not a particularly emotional scene but i hope ive infused it with. something.#anyway thats it from me #if u want to ask about any particular aspect i would love to yap about the process but i'll just leave it here for now or i'll never shut u #happy 1 year podpals #patsart #oh yeah i will say i did have to take quite a bit of liberty with the audio in order to do what i wanted. forgive me #or dont idc

legend has it that the young witch circe and the once beautiful nymph scylla shared a complicated past...

#art #cirscylla #that's the ship name i like for them best anyway #circe #scylla #greek mythology #welcome to my greek mythos yuri #DOOMED YURI #circylla #epic the musical #do i even tag it as that? i think i should cuz epic is the reason im so into greek mythos #jorge said we might get a spinoff about their backstory and im insane over that #i know it's probably going to be about how circe loved that one guy but still a girl can dream #this is them but younger! before circe turns scylla into the horrific man-eating monster that even poseiden fears #there's just so much potential here #consider a younger and much warier circe landing on the island for the first time after being outcasted by her family for her magic #and she meets scylla there who back then is a much happier and playful person #enemies to lovers to enemies again #i don't know if they ever make it to lovers or if they were only an almost #they're about to have the worst breakup in greek history #im rambling in tags MY BAD

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.

capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.

now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.

and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.

and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.

and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".

it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"

#this was much longer i had to cut it down for legibility #but i do want to say i am aware this post doesnt touch on human rights violations as a result of fast fashion #that is because it deserves its own post with a completely different tone #i am an environmental educator #so that's what i know the most about. it wouldn't be appropriate of me to mention off-hand the real and legitimate suffering #that people are going through #without doing my research and providing real ways to help #this is a vent post about a thing i'm watching happen; not a call to action. it would be INCREDIBLY demeaning #to all those affected by the fast fashion industry to pretend that a post like this could speak to their suffering #unfortunately one of the horrible things about latestage capitalism as an activist is that SO many things are linked to this #and i WANT to talk about all of them but it would be a book in its own right. in fact there ARE books about each level of this #and i encourage you to seek them out and read them!!! i am not an expert on that i am just a person on tumblr doing my favorite activity #(complaining)#and it's like - this is the individual versus the industry problem again right because im blaming myself #for being an expert on environmental disaster (which is fucking important) but not knowing EVERYTHING about fast fashion #i'm blaming myself for not covering the many layers of this incredibly complicated problem im pointing out #rather than being like. yeah so actually the fault here lies with the billion dollar industries actually.#my failure to be able to condense an incredibly immense problem that is BOOK-LENGTH into a single text post that i post for free #is not in ANY fucking way the same amount of harm as. you know. the ACTUAL COMPANIES doing this ACTUAL THING for ACTUAL MONEY.#anyway im gonna go donate money while i'm thinking about it. maybe you can too. we can both just agree - well i fuckin tried didn't i #which is more than their CEOs can say

me when i get the opportunity to think about speculative biology and non-existent game mechanics in media i like

⠀

#the candle creatures are revamps #i had created the idea for them years ago but i wanted to redo them slightly with new eyes #the “dark variants” of the mantas and birds are variants of them that have adapted for life in wasteland and the forests #and also #i like the idea of candle creatures that live in villages or within communities #that are sort of akin to strays that the whole community takes care of #means alot to me #this isnt everything ive been thinking about #ill make a couple diagrams about the large birds #yknow the ones from rhythm that we see once and never again. yeah.#they exist in my heart #anyway #skycotl #sky cotl #sky children of the light #sky #sky:cotl #sky: cotl #thatskygame #speculative biology #<- i guess?#im having fun ok #im happy to answer questions about my thoughts btw!#might be answered on my main if i cant muster a doodle or something #but i love answering asks #so if ur interested id love to hear thoughts :)

this is definitely an intersection of my aromanticism and my pedantic nature, but i do enjoy it so much when it's emphasised that it wasn't (usually romantic) love that "fixed" someone or made them "complete", nor was it love that they were missing, but instead comfort, or safety, or a sense of purpose, or simply an opportunity to stop and rest for a while. when far more basic, animal desires take precedence, and are acknowledged to be no less meaningful or worthwhile to pursue. and perhaps love was there, and perhaps it helped to facilitate their fulfilment, but it was never a necessary condition, and its recipients wouldn't have been any less deserving of having their needs met if they weren't loved.

#🐉#thinking about Them again and trying to articulate the aromanticism of their relationship in a way thats comprehensible #do they love each other? thats irrelevant really. they offer each other safety. theyre a place to go when its late #and the darkness is rising and you need somewhere you can just stop by for a while.#stapling this to the sketch im doing of them making out sloppy and ravenous style. its about safety and purpose not love.

sometimes you gotta lure your overly-studious ravenclaw gf into spending time with you 🥰 📚 ( from 'Every Teardrop is a Waterfall' by Kat_12739 on ao3, GO READ IT!!! the first story is about seb falling sick and still pushing himself/not admitting he's sick until he ends up in the hospital, the second story is about the birth of seb and clora's daughter and seb's reaction to clora almost dying in childbirth, and the third is about dealing with a fussy newborn lewis😭🥹THEY'RE SO GOOD AND SWEET AND SOMEWHAT SAD (not to mention beautifully written) so go check it out!!💖💖 )
