#and i immediately googled him

[waitingforminjae]

I got a like a news notif from Google about his death so I went on twitter to see if it was true bc i honestly couldn't believe it and I see jonghyun trending

and it's so weird to me and tone deaf to me like the fact that he's trending means that a large amount of people are bringing him up like id bet money that most of the people who bring up him sulli and hara when ever a kpop idol dies or talks about depression are just doing it for the likes and I know I shouldn't be gatekeeping grief or wtv and I'm not trying to but I just think it's disrespectful to all of them including moonbin

Idk the jonghyun thing is rlly grating on me bc like this is the reason he's trending??????there are this many tweets being tone death????

Oh and now moonbins part of that list too of people who they're just going to bring up like that and it really doesn't feel good thinking about that like they'll make a bullet point list about 2023 being a bad year for kpop or why the kpop industry is bad and just bring him up and like most of the people who do this won't know anything about him

your last point especially is such a good point and it's really like a second death honestly...........like it just really sucks that most of the time when a celeb dies young it almost immediately eclipses everything else about them. and that's even more true if it's suicide :(

and i saw jonghyun trending too, and didn't even click on it bc i knew why. i think it's natural to think of jonghyun in times like this, and i'd like to believe that most people mean well. but i do think that some things don't need to be said, especially when you know everyone is already thinking it. but many people post without thinking, and as much as it sucks, most people honestly aren't going to think about it unless they're a shawol </3

i think it was someone on twt who said this but all of them are their own people in their own circumstances. moonbin lived about 9,213 days. jonghyun lived about 10,115 days. sulli, 9,329, and goo hara, 10,551. it seems sad to only associate them with one of the worst days of their lives. the day you die is only one day amongst the thousands that you will live. they were all more than their mental illnesses and/or traumas when they were alive, and they STILL are. they lived and laughed and loved and breathed -- they are more than a statistic, more than a tally mark in our list of dead kpop idols. they are more than the day they died. thousands of days more! i think it is those thousands of days that they lived that should be talked about and celebrated.

it's a big wish, but i hope one day to live in a world where people aren't remembered for the ways that they died, even if they died young or by suicide. i want to live in a world where they are remembered for the lives they led, instead.

and i hope, with time, that moonbin's memory and love is something that his family, members, friends, and fans can think about with warmth. i hope, with time, every one can remember him at his happiest <3.

all tories have died. badly. unfortunately instead of celebrating we have to acknowledge that labour is in charge now and that we need to kill keir next.

So, I haven't had time to do pretty much anything the last two weeks, but thankfully yesterday a large chunk of my family was over so I had time to start on these guys. Chibis have never been my strength and these are far from done, but I found some good references and I wanted to try some and figured why not do it with the batsibs?

I need to fix Jason big time and Damian and Dick's hair isn't my favorite, but I'll try tweaking them, but Duke was hard to find any reference for that didn't just give him a buzzcut and Damian's type of hair has always been a nightmare for me. As for Tim, just ignore that abomination, only thing I could say that I enjoyed was I couldn't find a good skin tone for him that was pale enough so I paint bucketed him with low opacity white paint fill and couldn't stop chuckling cause I painted him like a drag queen.

sometimes I lay at night thinking what exactly did daisy write in the description of alec hardy's tinder profile and what pictures did she use that made her think that could get women to swipe right on him. was it selfies? was it candid photos she took? was alec wearing that blue jumper on and reading a paper with his legs crossed in the photos? I need to know

New OCs

(briefly, humans and supernatural beings have to team up for building better relations with each other and all the supernaturals can shapeshift and take on human appearances but also have their 'original form'.)

OK so I was GOING to draw fanart today - I had a fun idea and everything! But health anxiety (and anti-anxiety meds) wore me out so I kinda .... slogged through OCs as a treat to me. I am going to go to the doctor tomorrow so HOPEFULLY it's all okay.

So, I've had a beetle in my house (my room, specifically). My policy with bugs is generally 'if they're not hurting anything and if it's just one at a time then leave them be, I do not care'. So I've had this little beetle just chilling in the corner of my room. Because, like, what's the harm? It's just the single beetle, I see him regularly, I know this guy. We're chill. But I kept seeing him and got to wondering, how long does this kind of beetle live? And, uh, I think I have a roommate now.

Don't get me wrong I ADORE the Endgame finale it is beautiful and so heartbreaking. But personally I just think it would be so funny and so upsetting if it was like. Joker kills Batman and then almost immediately has a panic attack / mental breakdown about it and promptly shoves his ass in the dionesium

Where's a picture of Ratso smiling when I need it?

29/6 - valentino

11/7 - marc

both 'pecco doesn't have to prove that he earned those titles by beating the marc marquez' and 'pecco should embrace the challenge of testing himself against the marc marquez' are takes I fundamentally agree with, but of course there's still something fun about how it's basically mind games by proxy from these two. neither of them are wrong! but the contrast is still pleasing. it stems from their fundamentally oppositional relationships wrt pecco, where valentino functions as The Mentor and marc functions as The Rival. valentino is emphasising pecco's existing status in the sport by offering a reminder of the world championships he already has, in order to minimise the importance of next year's battle and the pressure on his protege. marc is emphasising the status imbalance between himself and pecco by offering a reminder of how marc has more titles than pecco, in order to heighten the importance of next year's battle and increase the pressure on his rival. the two statements end up mirroring each other quite nicely, right?

you see it in how valentino positions the battle as something that's been hyped as the press, as something that's more illusory than 'real', versus marc implicitly challenging pecco by saying pecco should surely be seeking to challenge him. valentino will not go so far as to suggest pecco will beat marc - all he's saying is the outcome does not reflect on the fact that pecco WAS already the strongest (past tense). valentino's removed from the action, he can't make any promises on behalf of another rider, he deliberately refrains from placing more pressure on pecco by engaging in any way with his chances of winning next year... whereas marc very much argue his own case, saying that he believes he will win at least one more title (which would most likely involve beating pecco). valentino says pecco doesn't need this challenge, whereas marc suggests pecco should want it. and more than that - what marc is saying the challenge isn't just facing marc on the same bike, it's the fact that pecco's team decided to put him there. that they invited marc into pecco's house. marc speaks of all that pecco has to lose, while valentino speaks of all that pecco cannot have taken away from him

I don't want to read too much into the phrasing here since I'm aware the translation may be imperfect... but valentino both explicitly ("he will have a very uncomfortable teammate") AND implicitly "[pecco] has everything he needs to keep up with [marc]") acknowledges just how big a challenge this will be. uncomfortable - not just because marc is hard to beat but because he is a bastard of a teammate. keep up - not even beat, because just matching marc isn't going to be easy. and marc isn't being shy either about how hard defeating him will be for pecco, pointing out they will be on equal machinery for the first time, that marc still has more titles, that pecco still hasn't shown he has what it takes to match marc under those circumstnaces. still, marc is coming for pecco because right now pecco's on top of the mountain - pecco is the one with the results, the momentum, the "mental stability" (jorge martin girl stand up)

I don't know. I'm really fond of how pecco has ended up being positioned between the two of them. pecco's unique narrative role is such that if anything, the marc/valentino axis is de-emphasised. it still matters, but it's very much the hypotenuse. this isn't just a continuation of an old feud, it's not just two legacies facing off or the title race or any of that - because it's pecco's legacy that's being litigated as much as anything else. pecco's primary objective is not protecting valentino's title count, and valentino's advisory role is centred around pecco's objectives rather than his own... his desires and hopes in that capacity are subservient to pecco's. marc isn't there primarily to match/overtake valentino, he's there to beat the current king in his own castle and to win titles for himself. they mirror each other and oppose each other... but ultimately, it's still pecco who currently sits at the centre of that triangle. he's the one who the other two are primarily focused on. quite a unique position, especially for a rider who has been so publicly wrestled with how he compares to those particular legends of the sport. quite the task ahead of him. quite the challenge

my mom has been like hey~ i need a haircut! do u need a haircut? we should get haircuts 2gether! and i do need a haircut but i've been avoidant abt it (and we honestly dont rly have the concurrent time off to do it together) but the real reason is bc i'm very very conflicted between just getting a trim (status quo) or getting a more androgynous cut (gender experimentation). my big fears are that it's gonna be purposefully gendered in ways i dont want no matter how much i insist on androgyny to the hairstyle. i'm afraid i wont like it in general, which is like. i should do it cuz then i'll know!! and i won't be wallowing in what if feelings and my hair will grow back!! it grows fast!!!!

anyway do u think if i show up at supercuts w/ reference pictures of emma d'arcy and colton herta that'll work
