The Mario movie was cute, best scenes are the ones with the bros just being. Bros.
Peppino is their cousin. That's it, that's the funny.
And per tradition? I guess? Some more (unfortunately Mario-less) doodles under the cut.
... Yeah. Twinsomnia again. These damn sibs are still on my brain. They're here to - Oh? Oh, Peppino's not a kid? They had the wrong address? Oh well. Might as well help him get through the tower!
Something-something functioning as a single character, something-something throwing each other around, something-something basically Gus and Brick.
Some more self-indulgent crossover'ish nonsense...
Same mirror, same man, different time, different reflections. Shoutout to @/rascal-rose for the idea of young Peppino having curly hair!! I cherish him.
And some wholesome stuff to top it off. (I feel like my handwriting is especially bad on the last one, so just in case, it goes "Buongiorno, ranocchio. Do you want the coffee?".)
#mario movie#LMAO AS I WAS TYPING OUT THIS TAG TUMBLR SUGGESTED ''m*ri om*ri'' (censored to avoid infiltrating that tag)#imagine.#anyway#mario mario#luigi mario#pizza tower#peppino spaghetti#fake peppino#twinsomnia#not gonna use the f///nf tag because i feel like i'd be pushing it#like listen. so many times i go into the tag of a thing. and i'll see posts just briefly mentioning that thing and barely having it.#maybe i'm more upset than i should be but i just UGH!! someone out there may be STARVING for g*stavo content and me mentioning him here-#-brings that person to this post.. BUT THERE IS NO G*STAVO!!!!!! NO BLORBO!!!!!!!!!!!!#i could never do that to someone. i know that pain all too well to put someone else through that.#also why i wanna refrain from tagging people i don't personally know. like yes awesome artist look at my insanity that has one brief-#-mention of your awesome idea. obviously credit is necessary but emnemnemne i'd rather do it quietly

Made it home safely from another successful tickle gathering~!🪶 This weekend was SO MUCH FUN, I felt like I deepened a lot of connections I’ve made previously, had a really good heart-to-heart with a good friend, and felt some parts of myself heal. I heard some things I really needed to hear. I already know drop is gonna suck..
Anyway.. need someone local to quench my constant tickle thirst.. tickle gatherings are too far apart..! 😩💦
#I love gatherings.. so wonderful to see everyone again and feel at home~ ❤️#And I had my very first house party experience and I felt like I belonged! and probably drank the most I’ve ever drank lol#But yeah- so wonderful to feel some parts of myself heal~ everyone is so awesome~ 🥰#And it was so nice to deepen some connections and make new exiting ones!#super excited to share some content too! I think you’ll really enjoy it~ 🤭#my posts#BellaBash#tickle community#tickle gatherings#tickles#text

I've been reading the Percy Jackson books for the first time over the past two weeks! Just finished "The Battle of the Labyrinth" last night (which btw is my favorite of the series so far!!)
I have now gained a new obsession but it might not be what you think
#like i swear to god i did not expect to be absolutely enthralled by the protagonist's mom kahskahfjkaja#she's just so fascinating to me#she's so kind and smart and she has given EVERYTHING for her son okay#like her staying married to an abuser for years to protect him omg she deserves the world#like when Poseidon called her a queen in the first book he was 100% right alright she is a queen#the woman murdered her abuser with a monster's head LIKE THAT'S SO AWESOME#also i cannot explain how obsessed i am with her relationship with Poseidon okay#like. do i want her to still have feelings for him? yes. do i need poseidon to pine and long for her from the distance?? ABSOLUTELY YES.#like realistically it's more likely that be does not but I need it okay#like at first i wanted them to be reunited because you know. of course i did.#but i am perfectly content with her finding love and happiness with a mortal man and Poseidon pining for her from the distance#like listen. this woman is amazing and she deserves to have an immortal all powerful god unable to get over her alright SHE DESERVES IT#but the way he just showed up at Percy's birthday party and called her as beautiful as ever????? omg??? BECAUSE YES SHE IS#and she blushed??? be still my beating heart#kahskahfksja honestly laughing at myself right now like I'm just over here watching a Sally Jackson tele novela in my head#AND HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE#percy jackson#no spoilers please if you see this post i know very little about the story and I'm thoroughly enjoying myself that way#also jsut as an fyi i am also a little obsessed with Percy and Annabeth kajakshdjshsha they are too cute and intense#sally jackson#percy jackson and the olympians

I feel lame for not having many ocs tbh. Whatever i do what i want forever
#idk i feel like my entire art is only ever used on drawing pre existing characters#usually from popular ips i feel so shallow.#any ocs i make i never get attached to. and if i do im too nervous to post them#or like with my fandom intrests i love them so intensely and then a month or so later#i dont give a shit anymore. i wish i wasnt so reliant on pre existing characters with pre existing personalities to draw#my attention. and draw in general.#bc when im not in an intense intrest phase i cant draw for shit. thatd be a perfect time to draw my ocs right?#but i need to be intensely intrested to draw in the first place. and they aren't fleshed out they dont have content#yhere is no book or movie or show or game. ive gotta do all of that. but that passion isn't there#i get no big ideas for stories of my own. no characters with compelling backgrounds everytging i do#just feels like a rehash or repackaging of something else.#and insult to injury. usually i can pinpoint exactly which pre exosting character im ripping from#which nothing wrong witg inspiration. if it was anyone else i'd be like fuck yeag dude thats awesome#but because its me it feels like stealing stealing stealing i cant think of anything on my own so i must steal#idk. whatever.#i mean i do have ocs but i havent drawn them in fucking forever it feels like. and i love them ig#for once i cant really pinpoint where i pulled them from. but too nervous to post them on#this blog and also again. drawing them feels like a chore because the obsession isnt there#vent#whateverrrrr my interps are baller my lines are swagular. im gonna make it whatever#and also i feel like a flake with my intrests and its not deliberate but sometimes i feel like im#pullibg people in from fandoms then pulling a switcheroo gotcha on them by being invested#in something else#which obviously im fucking not thats stupid im not doing this on purpose#but it still feels so yuuuuucky like im sorry ik this isnt what you folloed me for. sorry#SJATEVER i win at art wbatever whatever

“Let me get this straight,” Scott begins, fingers massaging his temples in the hopes to keep the headache forming at bay. It won’t work, and he knows it won’t because it’s never worked, but he can’t make himself admit it. “Eggs decided that, despite seeing Mike less than three inches tall with his own eyes, we were all pulling a massive prank on him.”
Said blond nods to state the one putting the summary together is on the right track.
“So instead of telling someone this theory who you trust to tell the truth, such as James or I, you immediately went to David.”
“So we agree it’s that dumbass’ fault,” the business man growls. He hesitates at the glare aimed toward him, however, the angry finger point faltering.
“And instead of being responsible and redirecting him toward someone else, you went ahead and egged him on.”
Eggs grins at the unintentional pun, though for once being wise and keeping quiet with their poor Scott ready to explode at any moment. Definitely bringing it up later.
“Which brings us to you challenging him to demand Mike prove he can shrink and grow, and instead of stopping him, you also requested a demonstration. So, I arrive to the conclusion you two being three inches tall are completely your faults and therefore I have no intention of making Mike grow you back until he sees fit.”
Scott sends a look toward David immediately protesting. Finds himself softening his expression at the realization how terrifying he must look as the egotistical man. The one who’d never back down from an argument and yet is suddenly clamping his mouth shut tight.
When he doesn’t say anything, the significantly smaller clears his throat. “Scott, I’m handheld. Mike picked us up to bring us over to you. I’d rather, you know, not be able to get killed by the first goddamn insect that finds me!”
David then looks over at Eggs with the silent demand he helps them grow back, damn it!
He knew it was a lost cause as soon as the shorter snorts with laughter. “Egged.”
“Look keep him shrunk but tell Mike to grow me back!”
#check in#so…I got sick#was feeling perfectly fine Monday!#all good for most of the week!#and BAM sickness#and then I failed to use the sick Scott cheat code#so no writing last week#but guarenteed will have one this week!#that’s compeltely coming out of left field but I’m blaming the sickness!#but from now on I think I’m going to have a bi-weekly posting schedule#too many words to write in too little of time#and that way I can work on that super cool awesome posting schdule I wanted to do forever ago!#hope ya’ll have a good week!#cw#content warning

I want SO BADLY to make some random long pdbc comic rn but NOOOOO apparently I can’t just snap my fingers and have one appear in front of me. i would need to “”””plan it out”””” and “””sketch””” it and “””do the line art””” and “””color””” it and “””shade””” it and “””rewrite it so many times to the point it’s not flowing naturally at all and oh no this was a bad idea why did I think I could ever do this properly”””
#hey guys just pretend this post is a really funny comic or something#because it’s gonna Be A While#need to get over this art block first and foremost#THEN I need to actually design characters ewww wdym I can’t just keep rolling with the characters I was handed on a silver platter :((#and THEN I need to string together a coherent snippet of a narrative from the. let me check#from the fucking 513580 words of notes I have#holy hell I didn’t think it was that high I think that’s a couple 10ks away from being as long as war and peace lmao#full disclosure I think over half of that is just aimless rambling and not actually. developed lore#considering that pdbc is honestly very undercooked as a whole. im gonna try an fix that. thats my New Year’s resolution. try to patch it up#but my point is it’s SO hard to fish through all that to find a single lore piece I wrote somewhere#hmmm did I ever mention a single detail about wheezer? bring out the ancient texts#yeah so anyway forgive me for my lack of pumpkin daddy content gourd lovers. he’ll be here eventually#I was gonna actually try to write a cohesive PDBC timeline but then Stuff Happened#and by stuff I mean. I was given permission to do whatever I wanted with finch and Immediately dropped everything to go mad with power#the narrative has never recovered from that. it’s too much fun to say whatever the hell you want and have it be canon yknow?#I’m just rambling.yall know you would do the same thing if you were given your favorite character……..#like damn I can do whatever I want with him. awesome#anyway thank you for reading my crazed ramblings about the most muddied underdeveloped narrative of all time <333#pdbc

the chances of the people seeing this aren't super likely so this is highly inefficient but i'm too afraid to approach people personally…. yet i've been burning with the need to express my gratitude for the tags i've received individually somehow and figured, i could do it the way i do best. in the tags 😅
(sorted by most recent) (i capped the limit hard here) (some ✂️✂️ had to be done 😔) (i still like this format a lot though) (might do this again in the future idk would people like that??) (i hope it's not mortifying for anyone……..)
it's sorta the way i like it, indirect and unimposing, even if it's kinda. wieldy. but it's just on my blog so anything goes right? although in saying that, i am open to being imposed on. like if someone wants to talk about aci or something, like other fic?? i'm a big fic fiend. or anything else lol not sure what else you'd wanna chat about since so much of the stuff i've put out is just. about fic. but hey, if you're a person i don't mind being approached :>

hongsang becomes more insane to me the more i read red chamber bc i keep noticing little things that make me want to explode. did you know mirrors are a pretty heavy motif in red chamber? Bao-yu flat out has a mirrored self in the text (i’m not there yet but i know that)
I don’t know if it’s even in a ship way but i keep noticing connections. They’ve both got a lot about being controlled/trapped and false contentment with that situation in their stories (this will find its way to canto 8. please) and the fact that it was THESE TWO to get the dimension shredder egos makes me want to explode
the more i look into these characters the more things i see that are paralleled and similar. The pretty art also helps lmao but i need to know their issues
#pachiposting#what reading dream of the red chamber did to a mf#i probably forgot some too there’s SOOOOOO many things#i have to write some kinda red chamber post at some point now that i’m almost done w volume 1 of the hawkes tl#shocking amount of queer content in that book considering the time and premise#numerous papers on the queerness of bao-yu it’s awesome. and completely not reaching at all it’s lovely to see#oh also i haven’t read the wings yet BUT my friend has and went insane on me#i’ll get around to it but dream of the red chamber is a full time job#btw you should all read red chamber (grinning)(smiling)(it is 2800 pgs and i don’t know how much will even come up in canto 8!#hong lu makes me start tearing at paper in my mind i have to dissect him

i need to go to sleep right now but i've got zimon in the brain and i know i won't be able to sleep until i do something to get him out of the brain but i can't get up to draw right now and i sure as hell can't get up to write that would take me around 11 years so i'll just sit here and rotate him in my mind like a burnt chicken
#🧅#im remaking the apostle designs too. just. a lot of disciple disease lately.#if there was more aro representation in media i wouldn't cling to the two characters i hc as aro so i can actually do it in a non shitty wa#and I wouldn't be up thinking about them right now and i wouldn't go to sleep late and i'd be abke to study tomorrow and actually get into#uni and get a degree and find a job a d have a life. so if i get nowhere in life it's actually because society hates aromantic people.#man why did i give up on writing. if i could write right now i could just. write all thr concepts out of my head instead of keeping them#up there.#pfft. ''the two characters i hc as aro'' as if i don't cast aro spells on Everyone Ever.#whatever you get james and simon are my blorbos of choice atm#if i could at least get over my current wave if Aromantic Rage so i could actually make ship content and post some jesus/judas along with#all the aro people so people would care about them more :/#queerbaiting you guys so you consume content about Other type of queers#man. i hate when this happens it alienates me from fandom So much . cause like the second people start talking about ships im like 'cool'#*fades out like that giy doing the peace sign*#and i know its not my actual Opinion either i like these ships it's just. auugghfhfh.#not to mention everyone making amazing ship content and not even being able to check it out because i get irrationally pissed#sometimes i wish i weren't aro so bad#sometimes. then i remember it's awesome and aromanticism is god's masterpiece and i love it. but man.

Daigo’s kidnapping story – new and improved (part 1)
We propose Takashima was the one who kidnapped Diago! To provoke Tojo into action, make them scramble. Also he may have known of the possibility that people in Tojo are planning to make the boy the next chairman, so it’s a double hit win, especially if something were to happen to Daigo along the way.
But Ryuji decided to bud in this whole plan that he was not fully aware of. And he will be frustrated about this fact later, for sure. He may have nominally agreed to the idea, but it has a lot of stuff happening that no one fucking told him about, because it’s “not his problem to deal with”. Hahahahah, control, what control, it’s not sleeping away, nope.
– Don’t forget, Takashima was Ryuji’s informant/liaison with the Korean mafia. But Ryuji didn’t know that he also was one of the survivors of that fucked up Krismas night.
Takashima was just using Ryuji for revenge on Tojo. Takashima prepared revenge on Omi’s side, Terada – on Tojo’s, they went splitsies for maximum Kamurocho destruction.
– So, Ryuji decided to come see things over at where they keep Daigo, to poke the guy – for info about Kiryu, and just for fun – and take better control of the situation.
And this somewhat interferes with Takashima’s plans of quietly getting rid of Daigo, while sending Tojo on a wild goose chase after him.
And they are keeping Daigo in some safehouse for laying low, in a quiet location, a little designer house in a forest near a small town. But Ryuji arriving there created a small commotion, and the local low tier yakuza family noticed it, and decided to get in on the hot big alliances action and get some profits.
Perhaps they even have a grudge against Omi, some low-steaming, long lasting disdain and need for revenge after being fucked over a decade ago. And here comes the prime opportunity to fuck up Omi’s plans and get some profits out of it. Here they are, hiding something on this family’s territory, that borders with Omi’s. They fought war over this stretch of land! And here Ryuji is, riding through the town in his big fancy limo like he owns the place.
These guys plan to seize the safehouse, kill Ryuji, steal Daigo, and trade him to Tojo, maybe even form an alliance or something like that. They can even pin Ryuji’s death on the other Omi families to maximise the damage and infighting in the middle of the coup and the war. Just need to disguise their guys like Omi members, and make sure none apart from Daigo survives in that safehouse.
So, with the sheer dumb luck circumstances align so that at the same time as some of Ryuji’s people start to prepare to dispose of Diago (totally unbeknownst to Ryuji, all on Takashima’s orders that he gave without considering that Ryuji might also be there) the safehouse gets raided.
And it’s very confusing to everyone, lots of chaos ensues, people are murdering each other left and right… And this is how Daigo and Ryuji end up quickly stuffing some supplies into Ryuji’s designer bag, and running off to be stranded in the woods, far away from the big cities. And yeah, they are deep in the enemy territories with only a vague idea of the fuck just happened, and if there’s traitors in Omi or what.
camping trip
Que the most fun camping trip ever with wilderness survival, Ryuji being ready to sleep on the pine needles like a man, and Daigo realising that he was the only one to pack an actual sleeping bag and useful gear.
They will be trekking to the Omi's territory through the woods while hiding from assassins, Ryuji will get lost each time he tries to "patrol", they will steal stuff in small towns along the way, and one time a kind grandma will feed them with stray cats.
– The only semi useful thing Ryuji packed was the rope, and even then it was a red rope for shibari he found in a nightstand. He used it to tie Daigo up after the escape at least once. For the sake of formality.
Daigo was deeply unimpressed, because, huh, only the hands? With this lame knot? Weak. Pathetic. Ryuji, who tied him up just so he can make the dinner himself: Ryuji: it's more of a symbolic gesture. Daigo: sure.
And 5 minutes later he breaks: Listen, this wouldn't do. I can show you how to tie it better, come here and bring me more rope. Ryuji, who's about to be shibari-ed and fed proper food instead of snacks: …hope this doesn't awaken anything in me.
Now this is symbolic. Ryuji roped (👉👉) himself into shibari masterclass and now will be fed.
And Daigo goes with shibari for restraint purposes automatically, without thinking. It's just easier to do, better for circulation, hands do it automatically.
– Ryuji: would be kinda fun to use the kinky rope for camping and restraint, eheheh :3 Daigo, about to change his life: you don't even use it right >c
– Ryuji, a little smug: *brings the rope to Daigo* Daigo: *just sleeps out of the one Ryuji tangled him in, and proceeds to untangle the new rope*
– Daigo just keeps being casually more professional than Ryuji in everything. It's irritating. And what's worse, he doesn't even understand what's there to be embarrassed about. Well, apart from Ryuji not knowing things. It's like Kiryu with the dominatrix situation.
– And yeah, there will be unavoidable talks about life on this trip, because Daigo may be pissed off, and Ryuji might be stressed, but the sky is pretty, and fire crackles nicely in the evening, so Daigo can suck it up and indulge at least a little.
And with this inevitably comes exposure of frustrations, truths coming up.
This camping trip helped Daigo understand that Ryuji might be a dick, but he didn't frame him back in the day. Daigos hard pill to swallow is – it's not Ryuji who ruined his life or sent him to prison. His trauma of losing to Ryuji, actually, isn't on Ryuji either. Being helpless and arrogant is what did him in. Daigo's been flying at high speed on the waves for a while there, Ryuji just happened to be the rock on his way.
Oh, Daigo's urge to suppress the dragon in himself. "I was just the biggest fish in a small pond". Thinking he's strong not because he was, but because everyone around him was weak.
(That's the whole crisis Daigo goes through in that RGGO story we explored in the previous part) (Dang, Kiryu going to prison sent him and Nishiki on a very similar spiral)
Ryuji had no idea. He just happened to Daigo, and went his merry way. And then Daigo is kidnapped by him! Now this is personal. Daigo is ready to flip again.
– There's a lot of stuff that can happen on this camping trip. Like tense talks about Ryuji's (for some reason) slipping control of his men. Compilation of the shitty dads tier list. Nightly cuddles for warmth. Daigo sometimes punching trees to relax.
He gets splinters. Ryuji isn't impressed in the slightest. Mister Daigo Dojima who rants about how Ryuji's self destructiveness is a bitch to deal with daily could always fight Ryuji to expel some energy. Just saying.
Oh, and there's also Ryuji feeding stray kittens, to pay forward for that time they were fed with the cats.
– And also imagine more scruff on them throughout this camping trip, because they couldn't always shave properly.
– So, lets say that during that time sleeping on Ryuji was an alright strategy. He’s warm, soft, there's no sticks poking you places- wait.
(That's what you get for talking about father figures before sleep)
Daigo: *absentmindedly monologues about Kiryu, while lounging on half asleep Ryuji, when there's suddenly a boner under him* Daigo: Ryuji: Daigo: Ryuji: …yeah, and then what? Daigo: Daigo: …and it's unfair how he can still give this Look and it's like you're pressed to the wall- Daigo: Ryuji: Daigo: -with disappointment. And guilt. Ryuji: …mhm.
If you can't avoid the embarrassment – just ignore it, don't think about it, and pray for the best. – Ryuji.
Bet the audacity of it is infuriating for Diago.
But that wasn't only the Kiryu effect there, for sure. It's all together: something vaguely suggestive about him, being all nice and cosy with Daigo sprawled over him, bitching about stuff together, you know.
And Daigo generally isn't that shy, he's understandable with morning boners and whatever. But this is just too on the nose. On the sore spot too.
Also Daigo is a bit of an autism creature, like Kiryu. Ryuji's convoluted nuances can be hard (heh) for him to decipher.
