This is like half of a ‘we’re so back’ moment with the brown suit like he still has black hair but more importantly why are his buttons gold now

Another odd question that I been wanting to figure out because I find it silly funny times!!

If my child of Dionysus, Grayson is 13 years old when he gets to camp five years before Percy; is he older or younger than Steph ??

You absolutely don’t have to answer this, and I wish I could provide years to make it easier but I try to make my OCs timeless to fit the timeless aspects of pjo 😭

Oh gods you’re asking *me* math questions?

Okay let’s see….Percy gets to camp in 2006 *supposedly*

Stephanie gets to camp in June-ish 2002. She’s 11, turning 12.

Grayson is 13 when he arrives in 2001, making him a little over a year older than Steph, depending on the month he’s born in (I think)

Edit: Wait I might be stupid. Is he two years older than her? If he’s turning 14 in 2002 and she’s turning 12. I’ve confused myself yet again lmao. Someone good at math correct me if I’m wrong.

Saw that last ask post- has tim ever made an identity that’s completely original???? I don’t know anything about this guy all I’ve seen of him is a little bit of the animated young justice and I think the weird buzz cut version of him in Arkham city (was that even Tim???)

The only maybe original title I’ve heard is apparently there’s a universe where he calls himself the drake but that’s. Not really original that’s just his last name. Does he just not have a creative bone in his body or something?

The only time to my knowledge that Tim has made up his own completely unique hero identity was when he went by Drake for a small amount of time which was in the main universe and it was as stupid as it sounds - so yeah Timmy unfortunately doesn't have a creative bone in his body

that feeling when you get advice from someone who you know is well-meaning and has good intentions....but it's just the most allistic, neurotypical, and/or abled advice you have ever heard and completely invalidates the point you're trying to make about why you struggle to do the thing in the first place.

they're telling you to "do it in this specific way that is completely opposite of how you physically/mentally work" for example, make eye contact/read people's facial expressions and intentions! but you're autistic. initiate verbal conversation and don't be shy! but you're nonverbal or semispeaking. get out of the house more and participate in these physical activities! but you're physically disabled. Just Be Yourself! but you have DID/OSDD/other personality disorder. etc.

i'm sorry. I know you're just trying to help. I appreciate it, really. but it's all things i've heard before and none of it helps me specifically. I have tried (maybe even still try out of habit) and learned I can't just do those things. they don't work for me or cause more issues. practice isn't the issue. not everyone can simply willpower through everything. but thanks for trying 😔✊️

hey does anyone wanna bounce bellhands/they all went to pirate school together ideas with me? im trying to figure out the missing pieces of my personal set up and it might be easier with someone else!

[yesmissnyx]

are you okay with transmascs? i’m very much a boy but i still like the idea of my breasts sometimes

At the risk of sounding sappy (or worse, fake and pandering), I want it known that I love all varieties of transness and trans bodies.

I love queerness and androgyny. I love when men have soft breasts and women have wide shoulders. I love when bodies are worn with love and freedom and pride and self-expression.

I love it. I love to see it.

It makes me happy 💓💓💓

I think my profile picture doesn't capture my silly and whimsical nature of my personality very well

How do you cope with suddenly becoming a legal adult when you're mentally stuck at 15 or so, asking for a friend :3

i mean. becoming a legal adult doesnt just mean you SUDDENLY have every single legal adult responsibility in the world and you'll die tomorrow if you don't understand what a mortgage is

you'll be fine, dont worry

[chussyracing]

which livery are you most excited for?

ferrari since it's my one true love and always has been (also because last year's launch was the best ever launch i have ever seen from any team ever, so the expectations are set high). other than that i'm curious about williams, because i love the blue color and i'm a SUCKER for the duracell sponsorship part of ther livery (they better keep it)

What kind of references do you provide for your kendis commissions? They always came out so well!

Everything under the sun!

In short: Picrews/meikers, the pinboard/moodboards, and the fc. And any other detail they might desire.

The first gives a look (as well as the fc) and the second gives hints on personality.

Then we work from there. I usually ask friend's who know the character second opinion -- like ask them to read over summaries I write about description on character's (not just Kendis') appearances/expressions/style etc, to ensure I didn't miss anything and if what I wrote was clear. Sometimes, they also help my indecisive self pick things when the artists gives me options.

I also think knowing the character helps. I feel I have a clearer vision for Kendis (and I probably would if I did an Andy one) commissions becausee their personality and style is [USUALLY, lmao] clear to me -- but even if you don't have years on your IC (like I would with them), fiddling with their look and personality helps a LOT and helps guide you. Like for example for my Lala request their look was clearer for me vs my Xhyera request where I know her personality/demeanor better than her style.

And dont be afraid to put a lot of detail! And to say what you do or don't (nicely please!!) like during the sketch part. It is rare that I have found an artist that did not give me a part of their process where I can state what I wanted to change -- actually I don't believe I have; even when I'm not part of the process step by step (mostly), they always ask me my input at some point.

Also below, here is a summary of what I sent for a joint commission I've had done. Hope it helps!:

Month 5, day 9, next up on shading is Keen! :3 I did a smrt and split him up into several different sections/layer groups, so I have a lot of wiggle room to play around in :3 I might split off a few more things just for Maximum Wiggle Room™ but I'm as yet undecided. You'll know when/if his skirt, leg armor, and spear suddenly get both more scribbly and clearly defined >w>

Lemme tell you a gay little story about an eagle.

Our town (~9,000 people) has a couple garages, but there's a big one on the main drag. My family has been going there for decades. I drive past it every day.

There used to be a huge pine tree on the corner of their lot, but last year it became a hazard and had to be taken down.

Shortly thereafter I drive by and see they've hired a guy to chainsaw sculpt the stump into a bald eagle.

Birds own my heart, but nationalism makes me twitchy. I withhold outright condemnation of the eagle, but I'm skeptical. (The original owner—an objectively Good Dude—sold the business to a younger couple a few years ago, and I don't have any knowledge of their whole deal.)

Then it turns out someone on staff is really into making costumes for the eagle. Every holiday. Every month. Stuffed turkey, witch costume, menorah headpiece, bunny ears. These people love to dress their bird.

The changing of the eagle suit becomes a source of joy every time I drive through town.

Until June, when the eagle is bare.

Now look, maybe I'm expecting too much asking my garage to celebrate Pride. But this is a small town. Every time I drive by that stupid eagle—this thing that has previously brought me so much joy—I feel hurt. I feel reminded that there are plenty of people in my liberal bubble who don't consider my community worthy of celebration. I drive to work, I feel bad. I drive home, I feel bad. The eagle is mocking me.

Then my A/C quits working.

So I book an appointent to bring my car in—and realize what I have to do.

I pick all this up at a thrift store for under ten bucks. I print the shirt with some weird heat-transfer fabric crayons I find in a cupboard. I loop gold elastic around the sunglasses and pray they'll fit on the eagle's head. (It is also important to draw your attention to the price of the feather boa.)

(Nice.)

My reasoning is thus: if I show up with a complete costume ready to go, someone will have to look me in the eye and say "We don't believe in that," at which point I'll be finding a new garage. But if they let me dress the eagle, then people in town get to have the joy I've been missing since the start of the month.

I listen to a lot of hype-up jams on my way over. I hate confrontation. I also don't wanna have to find another garage. I want to believe that this decision isn't actively antagonistic, but I'm not particularly hopeful.

I talk through the A/C issue with the guy at the desk, hand over my keys, then take a deep breath.

"Who's in charge of the eagle?"

"Oh, that's all Dylan. Second bay from the end."

I walk down the row of hydraulic lifts and find a disarmingly smiley middle-aged man pouring fluid through a funnel. I introduce myself and explain that, since the Pride parade is this Sunday and the eagle seems to be missing a costume, I have taken the liberty of making one myself, and can I get his blessing to go put it on?

Dylan grins this absolutely giant grin and goes

"Oh hell yeah."

So that's what's up now.

Happy Pride.
