thinking rather intensely about to collision,,,, but not quite to collision as it's written? see, if i really think seriously about the series, i played it really safe.
cue for ppl reading: maybe probably totally unhinged plotting and raving up ahead!
in a world where i thought about this at least two months earlier than right now, hearthfire would--rather than include an accidental time travel arc--be utterly set in the future. no timey whimey bullshit, no /shisui's just this same kid he used to be/. we'd have a shisui who has lived the last nearly two decades in hiding finally returning to konoha.
i wouldn't set this as far in the future if that happened. actually, i'd put it right after the divorce because i LOVE the drama and that's when everyone's relationships are shakiest--it's also a time when kakashi would have more security in his position to provide the most consequential changes to konoha including the ousting of the council--ehm. anyways. in that world, shisui walks right through the gates and secures himself that first meeting with kakashi and just--
and it would be poly kakashixsasukexshisui because i am me and the sheer concept of those three disparate individuals just pingponging into each other despite everything makes my widdle heart sing. just sasuke still not quite coming to grips with his trauma, dissociation and depression, kakashi trying his BEST with it but without that relationship security we have in hearthfire and shisui being SHISUI but older, way more jaded and guiltier too for fucking off out of sasukes life and the war despite being utterly blind to boot???? just rolling around on the floor, the sheer DRAMAAAAAAAA
i don't know if i'll ever put pen to paper, idea to mouth and work this out, but the story beats would be entirely different i think. the concept would just fly right off its hinges. i imagine it would be angstier--way more reckoning, more plot too because an older shisui would insist on involving himself in konoha politics in some way, whether thats taking sasuke out of the village or personally persecuting the council. sakura wouldn't play as much of a role, especially at the beginning because holy shit i would not touch those three with a ten foot pole in her shoes and i don't think she'd have wanted to be around kkss for at least a year after the separation anyways yk?
shisui would also stay blind longer. kakashi and, i think, sasuke wouldn't be as quick to trust him enough with eyeballs if he'd just been in hiding the entire time. i guess naruto and shisui would also get along better cos he'll have gained the time earned patience all uchiha slamdunk into after hitting the end of puberty. and just... yeah idk where i'm going with this i just wanted to scream into the void about the sheer concept of this fjwhsjshshhshsh something about an older shisui moving on from his traitorous dead childhood sweetheart itachi to his old captain and baby brother is so fucking hilarious and knowing me, angsty and i want it on a silver platter...
if only i didn't have to cook it my damn self😭😭😭
#fanfic#hearthfire verse#don't mind me just rambling#about plot#while screeching at myself through the void#gimme the patience and violent lack of shame needed#to WRITE this#i'd estimate a wc of like 70k+ with thisfic concept actually#and that's probably lowballing#no that's definitely lowballing#look i just want my blorbos to kiss each other#can't god grant me the ability to wish a fic into existence?#shisui uchiha#sasuke uchiha#kakashi hatake

“Average herald withstands 500 years of torture before bringing back the Desolations” actualy just statistical error. Average herald withstands 50 years of torture. Talenel’Georg, who lives on Braize & withstands 4,500 years of torture, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
#stormlight archive#taln#spiders georg#cremposting#i’m probably lowballing the non-taln heralds’ capacity i just gave them enough time for a couple generations to go by and called it good

Dan told me I had to wait until Episode 1 was released before I started with the character assassinations. Since Episode 1 is out now, well, the pact has been fulfilled.
#oc: kaitos#modern au#furry#he's probably lowballing that estimate#and he probably lost his other airpod

mc is just straight up not having a good time at all
#from mulberry fields the blue sea#still no gyx oh my god this scene is ballooning into something so much bigger#i lowballed myself when i said this would be a 15k chapter i think this might be closer to 25k#there's still at least another 2k words for this section and another 1-2k to wrap up this part#then there's the whole hair pinning ceremony which i'll conservatively peg at 5-7k and then the two interludes#both of which are probably gonna be long af bc gyx is crashing out like twice in his and qls is going through the dreaded wedding night#oh the wedding night is probably gonna be one of the worst things i ever wrote i wasn't even planning on putting it in here#but it's so integral to qls how could i not it's the worst thing i've ever planned so far okay except maybe cyx's noncon scene#but it's pretty damn close imo way grosser imo

Becoming deeply radicalized against the idea of crewed Mars missions, y'know how the Rovers keep sending back better and better data what if instead of that we made an even bigger one and devoted nearly 90% of its capacity to holding a guy in a bubble on top of it instead of sending back useful data, but wait! They'll eliminate like a half hour of latency and also almost certainly contaminate the landing site and possibly the entire planet, so it's not all downside.
#At least in the near term it's fucking pointless and the downsides are very large and very big#Quite frankly it is extraordinarily likely that the first people to arrive at mars will do so dead#Because they will have been sent by fucking idiots willing to take too large risks#But the good news is that the wreck will spread across and contaminate huge amounts of the martian biosphere#To the point that we will quite possibly never be able to discern the history of life on mars#But if they live at least they'll get to slightly reduce the latency on our telerobotic fleet!#And travel home with the samples I guess#Good thing Percy's tagging and bagging rocks that we just canceled the return trips for#At least once we fuck up the rest of the planet those will be sterile#Kinda still excited about Aritimis but also kinda becoming anti-human spaceflight in general#We should consider not doing that for a while and at most focus specifically on living on the moon in a controlled and limited fashion#Ground the whole fucking commercial fleet who gives a shit those capsules are both gonna get someone killed sooner rather than later#And it's not like we're learning a whole lot by having people on hand up there#They spend most of their time trying to keep the machines from falling apart#Which is the main thing people would be doing for three continuous years on the shortest possible mars mission#Like you could send a dozen rovers for the price of one crewed mission both mass and money-wise#And that's probably a lowball estimate even assuming more and more advances in rover technology#Which are happening a lot faster than the advances in life support technology#Right now we do not even have enough functioning space capsules at our low earth orbit space station#Starship HLS is a fucking joke#The whole thing reeks let's just stop sending people into space for a while what were we really getting out of it

drove home right after clinic again i do feel bad for spending more on gas but for the price of my sanity and well being i think it’s worth it if i can be around my siblings and parents more this summer. for some reason i feel bad for leaving to another state for grad school and not being around as much but that’s just the way things go and im here now for the summer so might as well make the most of it! i have many worries abt my brother since he’s the youngest and got abandoned by my sisters and i leaving for college and rarely being home but he just graduated high school so it’s finally his time to experience young adulthood as we all did so this is like the last summer before all that happens im just speaking generally and vaguely but i guess that’s just an eldest daughter thing to always have (sometimes unnecessary) guilt
#today my brother asked me when i realized mom and dad were fools#and i said when i was 14 and i asked him when he realized#and he said this year#i guess i lowballed my own answer and probably at 17#is a better answer#i do remember when i was 20 i had a realization that ive never heard anyone in my family (my parents mostly) say sorry and mean it#my parents just don’t get along as well anymore and they barely communicate with each other which leads to a lot of unnecessary and foolisj#*foolish#tension and fights to occur#so in this way i feel bad that my brother had/has to experience this alone while me and my sisters have moved out#personal.txt

again considering how much my health has been fucking with my writing lately i doubt I’ll ever write it but like. man is dr. starline in the hypothetical bad end au sequel like. one of the absolute most despicable guys I’ve come up with. and that says a lot coming from me. the worst part is that it's all out of very bored pragmatism. he ruins at least five childrens lives in extremely horrific ways just to try and curry favour with his idol in a plan that’d never work in the first place bc he dehumanised those children so much he failed to consider eggman would be pissed at him if he broke his daughter into being the mindless obedient tool that starline assumes she’s meant to be or. y’know. drove her to suicide. which was his backup plan and something he got disturbingly close to doing. absolutely every horrific action you can think of a grown ass man doing to children who are at max fifteen (and at least one of which is single digits in age) he does them all and not out of spite or malice or even sick enjoyment. no he just wanted to curry favour with a guy who he had a parasocial attachment with and didn't even hesitate to do absolutely horrific awful things to actual children for status.
#and five is LOWBALLING it#idk whether belle or sage exist yet but if they do they got the same treatment as neo#the sonic heroes cast are around and were at best forced to witness the horrible shit he did#like the medical abuse he put sonic through to use him as a pawn to control neo is the most fleshed out stuff there. bc he's the pov#but the shit he did to neo specifically is probably the worst of it. bc it was specifically done to break her#because he dehumanised her enough that he thought her own father would be grateful if she died after horrible mental torture#and he made her believe that too. to the point the only reason she didn't kill herself after. a certain event.#was because she was so fucking furious she had to make sure dr. starline suffered for it. bc no matter how much abuse she takes#she's still designed to be a murder robot. she can be forced to suppress that but when the chips are down that’s her instinct#and when she'd calmed down from her bloodlust she remembered. uh. solutions to that thing

Obsidian: Fun Fact: The average person will walk by 36 murderers in their lifetime.
Logico: I like how this is a "fun" fact.
Irratino: It's fun because they didn't decide to murder you.

baby’s first fakemon 🎉
Brairn
Type: Grass/Rock
Height: 8’0” 2.4 m Weight 247.0 lbs 112.0 kg
Ability: Wayfinder, Sturdy (Hidden)
Wayfinder is the Brairn evolution family’s signature ability. This Pokémon’s moves will always hit, but it will always move last.
Pokédex Entry 1: Brairn prefer to remain stationary if possible. Hikers can reliably use them as cairns.
Pokédex Entry 2: It is believed that Brairn originated from the emotions and spirit of hikers on trails.
Origins: Brairn appear to be based on mossy cairns.
Etymology: Bryophyta, the taxonomic division of moss + Cairn
Brairn evolve into ??? at level 31.


#gari draws#nintendo#pokemon#fakemon#brairn#this fakemon was born from my frustration at pokedoku that there’s literally three grass/rock pokemon and none of them are moss rocks#like dude do you know how many times they play that category i already got dex for the three (3) pokemon give it a rest 😭#thought a little bit about theming and remembered how people make psas about rock stacking bc the tourist ones can get people lost#if they think they’re cairns and so we got this guy#the number one thing preventing me from posting them months ago was the fact that i didn’t have an ability#and then i had real like stuff once i actually figured one out which was funny bc this was 90% done too#graphic design is not my passion#the aligning shit pissed me off so bad#i think i lowballed the weight but it came to me in a dream (random number in my head)#their cry sounds like you’re shaking pebbles probably#i already designed the evo the same time as this but i just dont have dex entries#also i need to draw them officially they were designed in apple notes ✨#then after that i want to design a ground/fairy fakemon#i was really into fairies as a kid but unfortunately that just manifested in reading fictional book series and writing group fiction#on message boards about it#so i need to look up mythology for inspiration

if i was president i’d replace 7/4 with a second 4/20 just to make the vast majority of tumblr users super happy
#90% (lowballing it probably) of here comprises of weed-loving america haters. fair point on both accounts sure#i am unamerican and not used to the month/day format and i rly had to second-guess myself on the order to ensure this stupid post worked#Unamerican?? Any relation to the unab-*gets sniped by the authos before i can even finish speaking*

One of my big compulsions is taking a fuck ton of screenshots Just In Case a piece of information is important in like 4 years and I can't remember it (sometimes the information is an instagram post that I might not remember later and of course needs to be recorded everywhere (I will Not be looking at that again)) so today is my transfer 16000 images off my phone admin day (woo)
Like yeah I never looked at any of them and they were completely irrelevant to my daily life, But what if I need them ✨️ later ✨️ (you'll see that the idea of Later is doing a lot of heavy lifting here) OR what if there's a vital piece of information in the mix somewhere that I'll lose forever if I delete them? So: onto the external hard drive they go
This is one of those cases where. Yeah. Ideally I wouldn't take 16000 screenshots in half a year. And YEAH ideally I'd just delete them and not transfer them somewhere else to never look at again. BUT at least I get a clean slate and I can maybe not mindlessly save everything for 2 seconds. It's like. Small wins? Progress. Yknow.
#rangnar rambles#i also use my tumblr drafts this way which is how i have probably 2000 drafts for this blog that are just? like me saving a post for 'later#and then theres too many in my drafts for me to even find *MY* drafts#i need to just hard reset the draft function bc its literally unusable for me#'matt this is all irrational and weird' by god. my irrational thoughts disorder makes me do weird shit? are you fr rn??? 😨😨#i get so stupidly in my own head and then i dont make progress towards Anything#even like a fun sideblog where i can actually yknow. post that 2k nightmare? i just cringe myself out like a dumbass 😔#i feel like ocd thoughts always sound lame out loud (and in my head to myself too)#like the Urgency doesnt come across#like in the moment i am Completely convinced that my national insurance number and bank deets are in there somewhere#and theres suddenly no way on earth i could ever find them again if i delete the picture. so to the hard drive they go#i Would go through that whole thing if i suddenly needed a screenshot from 2019 btw. like the crazy isnt theoretical#ive hallucinated gas leak smells before and woken up my flatmates bc i couldnt convince myself i was over reacting#its just cus the seasons have changed that everythings ramping up but omg its hard to do anything but spiral nowadays#thats a little dramatic but i am losing like. a quarter of the day to my ocd#its like. not great 😬#im not back to convincing myself i gave my dad cancer but i am not letting myself use half the kitchen again#but eh soo la voo we ball#HAH i checked my drafts after this and i was lowballing so hard#5.7k on this blog. 12k on my main 💀. its not funny but it kind of is#this is why youll never catch me running a queue#this is such a miserable post but i do feel the need to not let it sit in the drafts pile. to prove the point i guess 💀💀💀#'no one gives a shit this is your blog' 'oh my GOD WHAT IF PEOPLE GIVE A SHIT' <- omg shut upppp youre so embarassing 🙄#one more time for the gallery: i am like. aware that these feelings are irrational. like i am fine it just takes time for reality to kick in#ANYWAYS what was that who said that that was so weird im gonna go look at old romantic era paintings now#if tam is a screenshot fiend in the next fic u know what happened

Hi! What is worm (saw that long post you reblogged and am unbearably curious)
hi!!!! worm is a 1.7 million word long webserial by j. c. mccrae, or wildbow, about, um, superheroes. it's primarily a phenomenal, meticulous deconstruction of pretty much every cape comic trope out there + secondly a 1.7 million word long ultraviolent exploration of trauma and morality! it is one of my favorite novels of all time and also i think one of the best pieces of cape (<- using this as looser shorthand for superhero here because it is primarily about. supervillains! not heroes. well. mostly. it's complicated) media out there. genuinely incredibly written, completely brain-rewiring material even if you're not into comics or shit. i will link this post as better and longer propaganda if u are interested :]
#ANYWAY. IN COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY. my tags on that post r half there because One of the characters in it is a side character who u don't meet#until maybe 40 or 50k words in (lowball estimate) who is dubiously relevant for a couple hundred thousand words after that#and the Other is probably not doing what you'd expect from only the context of that post specifically. but. yeah. thumbs up im always on#that worm propaganda grind!!!!!#asks :)#wildbow

I kept see the “Category 5 Autism Event” thing and I was like “That’s cool, but I don’t know what that means” and then I had one this week. I get it now.
#it was sonadow btw. they are my everything.#made an almost 5 hour playlist for them#drew about 10 medium sketchbook pages worth of them#finished three chapters of my fic and the fic as a whole#and also read probably over 50k words of fic#probably closer to 70k or 80k if we’re not lowballing#needless to say. def category 5 autism event.

Do you take commissions? And if so what are your prices like? I love how you draw Kirby art so much and I’d love to commission you when I’m able to if you do. Thank you for all your wonderful art!
AGJSNCBSKKEN FIRST OF ALL 😭😭 TYSM FOR THE SUPPORT THAT MEANS SO MUCH THAT YOU THINK OF MY ART SO HIGHLY 🙏🙏
commissions! haven't done those since my discord server days, but i believe i did mention in one of my older posts that i would be interested in opening them back up soon!
as i don't have a ko-fi or paypal or anything of the sort for now, my usual payment for commissions would be in DeviantArt points (this is how i used to do them, and this is how i'll do em now 😎)
while this is all very tentative and i have yet to make a proper comm sheet, here are my basic prices for anyone who wants to commission me now!
👇
my link
if you don't have any idea how to transfer the points, i recommend making a burner account on DA and importing the points from paypal or any other source, then transferring them over to me :]
basic DA point conversion rate: 90pts = $1
headshot/bust: 300 pts
halfbody: 500 pts
fullbody: 800 pts
kirby OC: 500 pts
+background: 300 pts
+full rendering (the cooler shading): 400 pts per character
DON'TS:
- proshipping..pls no
- very complex backgrounds/characters (ask if unsure!)
- nsfw and heavy gore
-um. that's it. i will literally do anything else.
---
thanks again for taking interest in commissions! i'm sure when i do officially open comms (maybe in summer?), i'll have this a lot more figured out haha
#am i lowballing? eh probably but in 8th grade i used to take shaded fullbodies for 150 points. that is less than two bucks.#so id say im making at least some better profit#again! this is all tentative! i have no clue what im doing!#but this is for those who want the ultra coolest quality art and not a simple doodle like in my requests#dm if interested :]] tbh im not expecting many people to bite but for the two (2) ppl who are interested here are my prices :D#ask#commission prices#veves ultra cool art#kirby series
