mental illness gone once again hyperfixating on a dead mall near my house

#was looking thru liminal tag and saw pics taken recently there #i’ve wanted to go in there for like two years and i’ve begged my mom multiple times to take me #and of course as soon as i go on my own #i find out that it closed for fire safety two months before :))))#so all the doors were locked #this was back in february #but the pics i just saw on here are from this past september #and the person says they took them themself #i sent them an ask asking how they got in #bc holy shit it’s beautiful in there.#from the pictures i’ve seen it’s absolutely gorgeous #and i want to experience that myself and not thru pictures #i’ve actually been in there before but it was when i was like three so i don’t really remember it #i’m hoping those pics aren’t old and that they actually found a way to get in recently #bc if so i want to go #it’s so beautiful you don’t understand #i’d say which mall it is but i don’t wanna give away my location #praying they respond since they last posted a month ago #please please god i want to get in so badly #k.txt

Will Zoro leave Luffy after they achieve their dreams? Not likely

Saying Zoro's gonna voluntarily leave Luffy at the end of OP so he can "live his own life" (i.e. get married, open a dojo, hang out in bars) is so wild to me. That's like saying Luffy's gonna give up adventuring so he can sit around and gorge himself on meat

First of all, it ignores that Zoro genuinely enjoys traveling with Luffy. Luffy (who's always getting into trouble) gives Zoro the chance to be his best self. And Zoro (who very much wants to be his best self) will always seize that chance with both hands

Second, both characters are like...the poster children of wanting to have their cake and eat it too. If you're Luffy or Zoro, you rarely need to make either/or choices. That's what makes them unique. It's why they've both got conqueror's haki! Basically: If Zoro wants to drink until he blacks out? If he wants to nap all day? Hell, if he wants to get lost in a paper bag?? He is like a big cat. He will do what he wants, wherever he is. He doesn't need to leave Luffy to get those things LOL

Third, Luffy's made it clear the Pirate King needs no less than the Greatest Swordsman by his side. Why would that suddenly stop once they've both achieved their dreams? Is Luffy going to quit being Pirate King? Why would he? Luffy wants to be the most free in the world, so he can live the life he wants...with the people he wants to live it with

In other words, Luffy isn't letting Zoro go without a fight — not unless Luffy genuinely feels he's no longer the type of man Zoro would want to travel with. And wouldn't that be the worst ending for both of them?

#monkey d. luffy #roronoa zoro #one piece #text post #my meta #zolu #tho just kind of??#keep seeing this take on different platforms and I simply do not understand where it comes from #Whyyyyy would Zoro or Luffy want anything else #when they WORK SO HARD to keep everything they need right beside them?#imo it's very telling that Luffy's response to someone potentially getting married is:#“Great! They can bring their spouse on board!”#I imagine he'd feel the same about children or anything else his crew may want.#Nobody needs to go their separate ways to “live their lives”; not unless the characters' priorities fundamentally change #which happens of course; because people change and that's okay too #AT THE SAME TIME it's so hard to imagine this for characters like Luffy and Zoro #who unapologetically live life on their own terms #are very open about what they want as soon as we meet them #and have ONLY gotten to where they're at because they refuse to make compromises about those things.

Is this fanfic friendly? I feel like an outlier.

I guess this is my sign it's time to throw together a FAQ post to link to lol.

Yes, every event for this blog is fanfic friendly :D

Though as I mentioned on my Ominous October post, for events that include multiple short stories, I encourage everyone to flex their creativity and take one of their planned short story fanfics, and at least *attempt* to turn one of them into something entirely original; rebuilding a character and story from the ground up to stand on its own two legs is no easy feat, and that is what makes it so fun!

It really gets your creative gears turning, to make an "au of an existing material" to be something entirely original, and you can be pleasantly surprised about the things you come up with!

As a few people say, its not just a matter of "filing the serial numbers off" -- you have to add in just as much *or more* as what you take out when you are turning a fanfiction into something that is original and completely divorced from its original source material / inspiration, and that is a hard, but very rewarding challenge!

Obviously, this is not a requirement (there's no hard requirements for any of the challenges, other than no cheating, including no using AI),

but if you would like an extra challenge for the short story events and you're planning on doing entirely fan-fiction, I highly recommend trying it out at least once, and seeing where it leads you--

you may find yourself pleasantly surprised by what you find down that rabbit hole!

#replies #novella november #long rambly tags to follow lol #including anti royalist / anti billionaire shit #ominous october #this is what my novella november is going to be #something that WAS a huge earth-shattering fanfic AU #but before I even got past a WIP Oneshot I'd already realized that what I was planning was going to turn canon so far on its head it would #be unrecognizable and it would be much better off and more coherent if I made it entirely original #so now it is!#not only does this involve changing every single characters name #everyone is now a completely different species other than human because thats always fun #and of course we're also tackling all the issues that had annoyed me in omega verse fics since I was like 14 and liked the #creature aspects but hated the biological essentialism and misogny / caste systems #if your fantasy people have an enforced caste system you gotta actually treat that like the horror and systemic oppression it is #not just say 'biological = right' like dude what do you think people have been saying about real women this whole time????#people literally insist women are biologically inferior to men do you really think supporting that idea is going to make you sound #progressive just because your main character is a tomboy independant woman?#also like she lost all her independence as soon as she found a man to marry so uhhhhh #what happened to being ready and willing to hit the bricks if people kept talking down to you and condescending you for being a woman????#why did you go from independant badass tomboy to fainting damsel who spends all her time worrying about failing to produce an heir #so her husband can take power #instead of just straight up telling your husband #'hey I don't want to deal with the bullshit from your father how about we do the-#- socially acceptable thing and just go off to make our own independant settlement with some of the villagers who are on your side'#like your husband would literally be escstatic about this idea of finally getting out from under his dad's tyrannical thumb #and its more like way more than half the villagers would go with you not just a handful #theyve been sick of the kings shit for years and only your husband's potential rise to rule kept them in check #cus he actually cares about the villagers and goes among them #while still clearly having some biases to work through when it comes to class and gender equality

do you write fic on ao3?

unfortunately for everyone involved i do!

#ask #and if youre wondering about my handle i write on anon so its doesnt particularly matter (shrugs)#and also i think its pretty easy to figure out which fics ive written because i want to makeout mad sloppy style with an em dash #anyways (waves offhandely) it doesnt really matter much because i have like posted an ss on here before so you know #its not like im trying to hide it like eh #but also because of my disposition that would put a tranced rabbit to shame i dont exactly yell it from the hilltops either #the moral of the story is if you ask me what im working on ill yap about it maybe like post an excerpt #and months later youll find something posted on anon and youll be like oh! so they finally posted it!#so to spare you all (lies on my tummy like we're at a sleepover and giggles) you wanna hear what im working on #haha of course you do youre a prisoner in my yap box #and i want an excuse to talk about it hidden in the tags so people skim over it and not read it <3 #SO the earliest wip is from like early october about a magical realism au because i rewatched lwa as i usually do and well theres this one #ep about a magical animal if you will... and you can kinda guess what it is from that lol its sashaforsyekky #because the dreaded @/tungpin infected me with the brainworms about this trio specifically #and it really is ekky going 🥺 at whatever sashaforsy have (persumably) got going on woe is him its at 5k rn but uh ive stalled progress #because puppyekky has consumed my every thought which leads me to my second wip that ive been labouring over since the start of october #that also just broke 5k and not even remotely done lol whoops but its puppy ekky in a team environment with a heavy emphasis on the euros #rn there are scenes scrabbled out with sasha (multiple) mikksy luosty lundy and forsy. i know i have an idea for bobby.#and really lets see where the muse takes us i have vague ideas that are mmmhmm but we'll see when we get there!#the third one isnt the most likely to get finished but uh it is sashamaffhew global series stuff because it stemmed from #“it really is funny that sasha is treating the finland trip like he knocked up a girl #and is trying to make her meet his parents so it doesnt feel like a shotgun wedding when he you know marries her to take responsibility“#and i just think a maffhew pov with that thought in mind because of the whole touchy at e11even thing is funny to me like think mundane #slice of life oh i feel like im being wined and dined i hope i dont fuck it up jfc i think im fucking it up oh god this feels romantic #anyways it feels remotely ooc to me and it really was more of like a writing break from the wips stated above so (shrugs)#might not see the light of day but its 2k as of now so i do feel its a shame if i dont /try/ to finish it you know? its just low priority #anyways thats my writing check in and i am a prisoner to my own mind i will go insane haha these wont be published anytime soon #because i am slow and get distracted soooo easily so you know <3

Digitalised + coloured + redesigned version of my Suiren and Vaatu sketch from two days ago, as promised!!

Coming up with Suiren’s design was a very long process of trying and failing because after you’ve drawn 9+ different versions of one character, the creativity starts to run a little dry, but I’m actually really proud of this one, she looks absolutely adorable <3

(Also yeah I did mostly just scribble Vaatu’s pattern because who has the energy to draw the all out accurately. Not me, that’s who, I’m chronically tired. People who draw him on the regular have my utmost respect. He’s still a funky little guy though :D)

Bonus, Raava incessantly screaming inside Suiren (and being completely ignored because Suiren is tired of her) while all this is happening:

#and yeah I did say I’d do a fuckass background but all my energy went to figuring out Suiren’s design #plus I suck at backgrounds so.. woe. LoK screenshot be upon ye #my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #avatar suiren au #original character #sotrl suiren #vaatu #I don’t really know what to say in these tags lmao #usually I reach the tag limit really really easily but between my previous post and answering that ask I’ve ran out of things to say #someone please indulge me in this au I have Way Too Many Thoughts about it #hmm…#you know. I think people often make different avatar aus because they dislike Korra or think she’s a bad avatar #I don’t. I love Korra. I would kill and die for her #(says the red lotus stan. yes I’m well aware. no need to call me out)#and I think she’s a good avatar who was dealt a shitty hand both in universe and by the show’s production team #I’m making this au BECAUSE I love Korra. if Suiren is the avatar Korra gets to be a normal SWT girl #she’ll get to grow up with her parents. not isolated and degraded all the time for not being perfect. maybe she’d have a sibling or two #and Suiren gets spared her sotrl trauma too. win win for everyone!!#(I return Suiren gets the weight of the world on her shoulders lmao. but it’s fine. 1. she isn’t alone in it. she has her family #2. three quarters of the LoK threats are basically automatically eliminated for her. the RL are her parents. she fuses with Vaatu #and all she has to do to defeat Kuvira is to take her dress off 😁 /hj. basically. she’ll be okay. better than in sotrl at least)#also look. I love Suiren. she’s my dear child who’s been with me since I was 12. of course I wanna make her the main character in everything #and dark avatar Korra AUs have been done countless times before me. Kat’s doing one right now!! I just wanna do something that’s my own #and also I wanna focus less on pain and trauma for once and more on the sheer hilarity of the shenanigans that will occur post-fusion #cause this isn’t Adumbration where Korra lets Raava go and fuses with Vaatu instead. here Suiren’s got both of them at the same time #and they have 10000 years’ worth of grievances to air out. it’s like living with your divorced parents #trust me I would know. except mine aren’t divorced. they’re Worse and everyone wishes they’d just separate #anyway. that aside. Suiren’s not getting any sleep any time soon while those two duke it out

Last drawing of my summer class, we were only given an hour but I think I made good progress (this was a test of sorts)

This will be the last time I'm studying under this professor, so I'd like to share his art page (I think it's neat to see how his approach to art has influenced my own)

#charcoal #portraiture #if you'll allow me to be sappy #I'm a bit sad this class is over #...actually #a bit sad? the understatement of the century #was crying my whole drive home haha #I've had the same professor for three semesters in a row #have worked with him for a little under a year and thats CRAZY #i feel like I've improved so much #i feel the need to justify majoring in art sometimes bc it can seem a little pointless #but I've learned a lot about using my own skill to meet task requirements that aren't necessarily things I'm used to #among a bajillion other things that help with art a profession (I'd talk about it but i would never shut up haha)#and of course i feel like my technical skill has improved massively #my art finally feels like... mine #there's always going to be room for improvement #but in this moment i am content #feels nice #anyway that's the end of the semester :D considering doing requests again to celebrate since that was super fun #I'll also be doing a few master copy studies soon #would be cool if anyone wanted to join me in that #will put up another post if i decide to open requests!#classwork

VUX versions! (Patreon)

#My art #SCII #DAX #ZEX #Adding to my own warmup projects for funsies lol #I was curious! And they look cute!#I'm not gonna say the meme is closed Exactly - but considering how close September is coming upon us it might be folded in soon #Having specific examples to go by would probably be helpful anyway lol #Anyway all that when it gets to that point! For now - themst!!#I tried again for a limited palette like their Ghost mockups :) Their pupils are the same dark blue of their uniform rather than black :D #Although ZEX's eye has a couple extra colour-highlights - but look how pretty!#I didn't feel like going back to change DAX's lol next time #The various reds and pinks are probably my favourites :) Those pops! Cute #I have become quite partial to the barely-visible little pink dots at the ends of their head tendrils #Determines directionality as well! I love that kind of thing! Same silhouette but different angle appearance :D #They're all cheating out/downstage but it'd be fun to draw them elsewise another time #Also like how I shined basically everything Except the faces of the medals lol - edges? Yes - Cuffs? Of course - Eyelids and head bumps!#Even their uniform tops! But the gold shiny bits with the flat surface? Sorry I can't read suddenly #Lol #Fun to use the whirly marks for their head tendrils as well haha #I'd like to do more - the rest of the expressions #Even I'm curious how the others will shake out! In pose and face of course but also the others had a human shuffled into the mix lol #He'd not getting the VUX treatment so sorry Captain #Split and combine I suppose haha

it's like. everything happens so much. it's all happening right now but at the same time nothing is happening whatsoever. it's a liminal space of an existence. it's slowly crushing me under the weight but when I look up there's nothing actually bearing down on me. there shouldn't be any weight. something is wrong but nothing has happened. I'm simultaneously overwhelmed and utterly bored. nothing is happening and maybe that's the everything that's happening. maybe the everything is the nothing. we aren't there yet but it's all so imminent. either everything is going to crash down or nothing is. I'm just waiting to figure out which.

#I refuse to be upset at anyone. I have so much love in my heart #but I'm going to pack formal clothes for my sister in my own bag just in case. she doesn't need to know that.#you couldn't pay me to care or to stop caring. it's cognitive dissonance #because I know this won't always affect me but it's my whole world right now #I say I don't care and I mean it but at the same time I care more than anything else #it's actually almost scary how much I relate to dark alley #not in a ''I'm in a mentally dark or dangerous place'' way but in a ''yeah I compare myself to others too much'' way #and then I try to make excuses so it can make sense to other people so they won't think the worst of me #like literally I'm trying not to think about fall but it's right around the corner and I'm. falling into it I guess #pun intended of course. I don't want to lose all my friends #I want to be one of the kids who gets invited to people's houses for lunch after church and I know I never will be #because that's the kind of thing that's only for the kids who are going someplace. not the ones who stay #I'm feeling very selfish and it's probably bc I'm tired lol this happens sometimes #I'm gonna make dinner for my family and then I'll feel better skskskskk #Lu rambles #sometimes I think I could write poetry #I feel like once my vacation is actually imminent I'll feel better I just haaate the point we're at right now #which is like. it's SOON but not THAT SOON so I feel like I can't do anything bc I'm just waiting for things to get going :/

#to be clear it is mlp au stuff at the same time. and i'll be posting Scott's pony cosplay real soon #for now i'm gathering my own headcanons for basically every ship. not my fault the words go further than that sometimes lol #it's not stopping there either! i'm giving myself a break from drawing for now cause it's been 4 days work & i started like 5 pony au piece #can't wait to share the progress on 'em. i haven't worked so hard on crossover material in a long time tbh #rustynailshipping #xrayshipping #saw au #mlp au #the drawings are(so far) more abt the 'popular' ships but i'll get to everyone eventually! i'm super excited!!#also once again i am disappointed that i've only thought of One(1) coherent cutiemark design for any of the characters lmao #that's like the hardest part but i'll update w/ideas later of course #there's already so many tags lol sorry. this is just an update on where i'm at creatively cause i've been a lil quiet

idk how to even like. put this pain into words and i would normally vent about this shit on twitter, but the person its about follows me on there so like. anybody have skills for coping with the crushing realization that the person u love most in this world and have built ur life around sees ur current situation together as a temporary hurdle that's preventing them from their truest and happiest self which. is separate from u entirely? anyone know how to deal with this?

#live with my best friend in the whole entire world who. honest to god makes me the happiest person alive.#like im always waxing poetic about her in the tags on posts about platonic love #and i talk about her like she put the stars in the skies because for real it feels like she did for me #she is. the most important person in my life #and every day i feel grateful just to come home and sit with her #like honest to god i cannot imagine a future that is better than this #if i have a bad day i get to come home and my best friend in the world will make me laugh #what more could i ever ask for #but tonight we talked and she made it abundantly clear that. even if i do everything right #even if i'm the perfect roommate and the best friend i can be #in just over a year #when she's making enough money for it #she plans on moving into a place of her own #which like. makes sense for her. of course we were going to get to this point.#but i just. don't know what i'm going to do.#and it kills me that we're on different pages because for some reason i thought this was a long term thing #i thought we were going to move into a house together #i was just telling my coworker this week that we need to move into our forever home soon which was partially a joke #but also. even if i was making a million dollars a year.#i would still want to be here. with her.#or somewhere else. with her.#like it's so hard to imagine a future without her. it breaks my heart and scares the shit out of me.#and i know i can't afford it here. and i can't move in with strangers. and i'm working my dream job but i'm scared that i'm going to have t #give it all up and move back east because. i can't do this alone. and she's all i have. and all i ever wanted.#and she's leaving.#she doesn't want to be with me.#sry this is so fucking. ugh. idk. i just don't know what to do.#for real might just drop everything and move to chicago if it comes down to it ksdkfljdfs #its what sufjan would have wanted #fucked up terrible no good week

grrr.... my boss came in and asked to talk to me for a moment and basically she was asking how I distinguish between production stock/my stock bc the stock/supply staff had insinuated to her that I'd been stealing their stock which I HAVEN'T!!!! I would never + my boss knows that but she still had to ask.... so annoying
