Dude I actually have SO many discarded fankid designs like Emmie has gone by three different friend groups and even for the current lineup there have been some forgotten kiddos you guys actually have no idea how many fankids I've designed NSKXBSKXBKX
#and yet emmie has survived all of this#maybe that's why she has changed the most#because the rest i just dumped JSODJSKDNSKX#no but like#at first i created a group of four kids#there was a knouge kid in there for those who keep insisting for one#i actually dont like these pairings#and so emmie was the one survivor who was joined by sparks#and then with emmie and sparks i made ANOTHER GROUP#which i think consisted of six fankids???#and that's when aim came to be#the other three kids are gone#AND THERE WAS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT A SALLICOLE KID#her name was techna but looking back destiny is definitely a better character lol#ALSO YEA I DESIGNED AIM WAAAAY BEFORE LASH#lash i designed on her own#then i decided to post aim make him go public BAHBSKZBSKX#and then i created bria tulip and destiny all on their own#AND THEN WHEN DESIGNING SPADES SHE WAS ACTUALLY PART OF A WAVE#she was designed next to two other characters who were later dumped#then i designed another kid that i lost their design -cries- and im not sure if i should actually add them???#and ive been designing some other kids but i dont think ill post them#maybe one??? they're too cute i don't know im tempted#i don't know if they even count as a fankid tho lol#but yeah i just felt like rambling about this BAHZBAHXBSKXNS#shale and mareep aren't the only forgotten kids/hj

opinion: I think tortured poets department is great top to bottom, standard album and the anthology, I think the “this needs editing!” take has been wildly overstated if not completely untrue (I think it’s completely untrue), I agree with Harvard professor and literary critic Stephanie Burt that it’s got three complex interwoven storylines happening at the same time—loss of a long time love, loss of the chaotic and ultimately darkly empty rebound, and Taylor grappling with the hollowness of fame and ultimately her own mortality in the wake of both. It has everything you could want from a Taylor album and more INCLUDING the bangers many want to pretend aren’t there; it’s just that the public has never been more out of tune with her. They want to believe that it’s a bad album because they wanted a bad album from her. They truly felt it was her “time” to have a bad album and there is not a thing the public loves more than when they feel it is time for something. she is an artist who is pretty much always capable of capturing the zeitgeist but also of necessity moves in and out of it because she has her own real artistic journeys to go on and those will not always align with the cultural moment. and what is more, I think a Taylor album has never aligned with the cultural moment less, a testament to the album not a knock on it as the current cultural moment is a love of the empty-headed, the rat-brained, the sparklingly numbing emptiness. the public, someone, anyone not being in the mood for something doesn’t make it bad it means they are not in the mood for it and they’re not in the mood. but none of that changes the fact that the work is good all the way through nor the fact that time will bear that truth out. in this essay I will
#folklore is brilliant and I love it#but also the public generously decided it was time for her to be the moment#but guess what she doesn’t need your permission. and guess WHAT. you being sick of her or the eras tour or her being at chiefs games#or you thinking she is overexposed doesn’t make the work bad#it just doesn’t#the reactions to it when it first came out were funny. music journalists being like ‘okay finally we can take AIM at her. we can complain’#and anyone with any honesty being like ‘okay yeah this dense body of work is taking some time to sink in but yeah it’s good’#I won’t even go on and on about how good I think it is (I think it’s ridiculous levels of good)#I will just push back against this narrative that it’s bad/too long/middling/needs to be edited#it isn’t. it could win album of the year at the Grammys on Sunday#and I’m going to hold your hand when I say this: it deserves to.#thanks for listening. etc.

"Ivan isn't loved by anyone-" You were fooled by his warped perspective.

#now dont piss me off#/silly /maybe#betting on me and tills newborn he was loved#Ivan was loved just not in the way he wanted nor could fathom because of his circumstances. ivan has only ever known and seen romantic love#and by romantic love i mean an unhealthy kind. is the way mizisua love eachother unhealthy? mayb not but the way he took & he saw their#love and aimed to replicate it WAS unhealthy. and in any other case i dont think he understands any other kind of love. platonic. friendly#he can see it objectively. i believe. but#i dont think he gets it. thats why he thinks the way he does. he literally just doesnt understand so it doesnt exist and he doesnt acknowle#it#alien stage#alnst ivan#alien stage ivan#alnst#seeing what mizisua had. im sure he came to the conclusion that if he wasnt good enough to earn that kind of love. then what else is there?#hell ill say it. even Till loved him. not romantically of course. but the love was there. they are childhood friends. he is THE closest to#-Till FOR A REASON. even Ivan knows it. a little. maybe. But if only he gave it a chance when he could.

Did somebody say Custody AU?
I did. I said Custody AU.

Surely this has nothing to do with the car whump excitement of this past week.
This is a universe where Nat breaks down and agrees to spy for Eric. They're required to report back to him about what's going on at work and what the police are planning. In a move of typical bastardice, perhaps Eric picks them up one day unexpectedly and forces them to drive to his lair in his fancy ass car.
They look fine with this, as well as the way that bruise on their shoulder is being pressed into :)
Of course, Custody is written by Kirsten @whumblr !
#more scheduling posts >:3 no idea when this is gonna go up because i'm scheduling before daylight savings changes#aiming for when i'm still sleeping in#ewwwww imagine living in the USA and having to change the clocks already grosssss#whump#whump art#my art#fanart#visual#car whump#emotional whump#uhhhh is there anything else to tag here? i usually draw more outwardly violent things lol#but listen i looooove a threat#eric is trying so hard to play it cool look at his face hahahahaa he is thrilled#very happy with how this came out. just. don't look at the car anatomy too close#it's. vaguely car-like that's as much as i could manage#and i'm very proud of it i'm not usually great with backgrounds. especially non-organic ones#this car interior was not made by happy free range chickens#can you guys believe they can buy eggs that are specifically from happy chickens in europe. my carton never tells me if they're happy#when i was little i didn't get what cage free eggs meant. i was like. yeah why the fuck would the eggs be in a cage.#oh yeah please do zoom into the watch dear viewers. i enjoyed that part that was a blast. yes it's meant to be a rolex ehehehe#no yeah i'm like SO happy with this. it came out exactly how i was picturing and wanting it to.

also i just have one more thing to say about the movie and then ill probably shut up for now but im really annoyed with how certain people keep going "omg its not supposed to be a sonic adventure 2 movie stop expecting it to be exactly like the game" to shut down any criticism of the trailers... like don't lie to me regardless of how many changes they make it's still very obviously supposed to be a sonic adventure 2 movie theyre taking a lot of plot points from that game and they keep referencing it in the marketing for the movie you have to have never played the game to think its not an sa2 movie
and like. yeah people who were expecting it to be an exact recreation of the game were probably setting themselves up for disappointment but just because it's not supposed to be exactly like the game doesn't mean that every change is justified or that fans of the game aren't allowed to not like it ..?? it's not unreasonable for fans of the games to want to see the stories and characters they love done justice in an adaptation . whatever man
#like i personally am not mad the movie isnt exactly like the game. i was never expecting it to be .#i just think a lot of the changes they made suck and make the story worse and dont feel like they were made with respect for the game#also tired of people going omg stop judging the movie based on one trailer#and then turning around and calling the movie peak cinema based on one trailer ...... ??#and they csnt use that argument anymore at this point but .#saying its gonna be good is judging it based on the trailers too .. ????????#and im sure a lot of those same people hated on the minecraft trailer when it came out around the same time#just admit you cant handle the slightest bit of criticism aimed at the movie and go#also ik sonic 2 wasnt exactly like the game it was adapting either#but again its not the story being changed itself that i dislike its specific decisions they made with sonic 3#but . the classic games dont have much going on in terms of plot#sa2 is one of the more story heavy games and is possibly one of the most loved sonic stories of all time. its not the same situation.

still baffled that one popular anti-dany argument pre s8 was that since she was wearing black she leaning toward the Dark Side™...... as if in the same series another unambigously heroic protagonist didn't enlist into the night's guard where everyone must wear black, and the series' author wasn't explicitly against this kind of stereotypical tropes lmao
#like mind you the antis were right. this was very much what got was aiming for with her wardrobe#...... but they were SO dumb for this. so incompetent#i can't take it seriously because of all the reasons i mentioned above#it's not simply an anti dany thing; it's anti asoiaf core themes#grrm really put an effort in deconstructing so many simplicistic fantasy tropes (beauty = goodness&ugliness/deformity = evil.#the knight core beliefs - where the truest knight in the 7 kingdoms is an ugly young woman etc.)#what's next? we are supposed to root for the starks because their house colors are grey/WHITE and therefore inherently good? lol#also targaryens' colors are black and red. of course dany was wearing them when she finally came to westeros#a song of ice and fire#game of thrones#got negativity#daenerys targaryen#val speaks#val rambles in the tags#txt

I genuinely do not think Investigations 2 meant to imply that Blaise was physically abusive but when you give me a guy saying "let's go home" and taking a single step towards his son only for that son to full body flinch I am going to draw some conclusions
#I can go either way on Manfred (though I think Franziska's cavalier attitude to violence even aimed at people she likes came from somewhere)#but I can't read Blaise any other way#(speaking of cavalier attitudes towards violence Sebastian sure barely reacts when she shows up and starts hitting him)#ace attorney

after the surgery i will have to look for jobs because im so fucking frustrated and angry on a daily basis for over a month now i cant do this anymore
#also this is gonna sound really mean#but i was just thinking how when im my coworkers age (33) i dont want to live the way she lives#just barely making any money#i make more than her because she works less than me bc she holds yoga classes but even with that i still make somewhat more#and i dont want to keep budgeting for the rest of my life#and i also dont want to live like my mom lived her entire life. working shitty jobs that pay peanuts#but idk how to change my life!!!!!! i cant even pick a class or a course to learn because that also costs money which i dont have#and i dont want to use my tour guide degree or whatever because i dont fucking want to work in that either#and everyone is telling me i should have a job where i can use english and how i speak better english than the majority of#people (LOL. LMAO EVEN.) but literally no one gaf because everyone can speak english. well no obviously not everyone#but in my experience truly nobody gaf that i can speak english. thats expected#i want a different job that pays more so fucking badly but i dont even know where to look because every job ad i see#is either obviously not aimed at me or just reading the description makes me suicidal. the only two type of job ads i ever see#i just want to make 400k a month WHICH ISNT EVEN MUCH at fucking all and yet ive never made a fucking liveable wage#and it makes me feel like such a pathetic failure. cant even get a job that pays me the bare fucking minimum. 400k. cant even have that#and i kept begging my boss to let me work the customer facing job (bc that pays better) but nothing ever came of it#im at the end of my rope i cant even tell people how much i make its so fucking shameful and embarrassing#not to mention that its not enough for anything obviously

It's always interesting to hear about people's weird/unexpected "alternate life paths". Like, something that you could have done with your life, a job you almost took, a school you almost went to, etc - that was still actually realistic enough that it could have happened, but NOW it seems to not suit your current personality.
Like for example, I currently hate advertising (how manipulative it is, brands trying to be 'relatable', social media amplifying it to an obnoxious extreme, etc.) so much that even seeing a little ad before a youtube video is grating to even witness, but there was a point in time where I was genuinely seriously considering going into marketing/making commercials as a career lol. Or like, I have a relative who was very inclined to be a pastor when they were younger, even though today they're a super strong atheist, etc. etc.
#BECAUSE I knew I really liked filming and editing things and doing set design and costume design (from having done little bits of that#here and there in media classes and my own stuff - i used to be a lot more into making videos than I am now). BUT I was always thinking#that a movie is WAAY to big and long. even a short film. So I was trying to think of ways I could still like#have the fun of scouting locations to film and dressing up actors and etc. etc. without it having to be a Huge Million Dollar Production#on tv show or movie level. SO then I was thinking about like... just doing commercials. Or music videos. Like shorter things where I still#get the fun of the filming and everything but it's less of an intensive long term project.#So there is an alternate version of me (I suppose if i somehow did not end up having physical and mental health issues#as badly somehow.. or like.. randomly came into wealth and was able to pay my way through a nice college despite missing#days constantly being out because I'm sick or something lol) that works in some corporate advertising office coming up with commercials#and directing or filming them or doing the sets for them or something in that general vicinity.#I also was considering being a corporate psychologist. or whatever its called.. oh from google:#''Industrial and organizational (I/O) psychologists study and assess individual group and organization dynamics in the workplace''#I don't think I even knew what the job entailed. I was at the time just thinking like.. the type of person that comes into a business offic#and gives everyone personality assessments or does MBTI or big-5 testing crap for whatever reason that some businesses get that#done for people. Really i just wanted to be in a Corporate Big Office setting yet still do psychology. Because I used to be really fixated#on living in a big city. Like the ideas of everything being walkable. picking up a coffee in the morning. walking to my job in a Big#Skyscraper Building. people watching in a huge hotel lobby for lunch. flying frequently (I love airplanes and airports aesthetically).#living in an apartment with a giant window overlooking the city. etc. etc. BUT that was before i had really BEEN to a city. Then I actually#hung around a city a few times and went places and I was like... AUGh... The Sensory Overwhelm.. cars people lights loudness noise scary#everything happening all at once. etc. etc. (though even when I wanted to live in a city i NEVER strove for the Night Life. when i say I#enjoy city imagery I mean like... in the day time. Many people who like cities talk about The Night Life and post pictures of cities all#lit up at night and clubs and dancing and restaurants. none of that EVER appealed to me. perhaps a sign I am not a real city person. Like#I am NOT standing in a crowded bar full of loud people in the middle of the night lol.. get AWAY from me!!) but I do adore the#architecture of like bright white clean sterile modern spaces like huge airport lobbies or malls or etc. I think thats what reminded me of#city and what I liked about the idea of that life. Like I always LOVED the layout of schools and hospitals and trainstations and public#transport in general. Though even then I knew enough that I would not be a good architect/city planner. so I guess my adoration for those#spaces was merely to be channeled into LIVING there. but then I realized I didn't even really want to do that that much. I mean I still#definitely aim to live NEAR a city. like the little areas outside of it. I would never live in a rural place 4 hours from anything. I liter#ally just COULDNT since I need close access to hospitals sometimes lol. But I used to want to live in the CENTER of citites like high rise#condo. and now I'm like.... eh....... perhaps a smaller quieter walkable space nearby lol.. ANYWAY.. alternate me in my Business Suit eheh

Janeway in 'Nothing Human' vs Tuvok in 'Resolutions' There's something here I know there is I can almost wrap my teeth around it.
#I can't watch Nothing Human bc the puppet really disconcerts me#but I cannot believe Janeway really came into B'Elanna's room after all that and the FIRST thing she says...her OPENER is#'Wow it smells awful in here~!'#DUDE....................TIME AND PLACE#HEHEHHE#C'MON MAN#B'Elanna: Is [putting it behind us] an order? / Janeway [normal!]: Yes.#'And what emotion is that?' C'MON MAN!!!!!!#Janeway & Tuvok#Kathryn Janeway#Tuvok#I can see why she and Tuvok are friends#'I understand you're upset but fall in line'#You can be upset but not if effects your work#<- Something which would be fine on a regular ship but is very difficult on Voyager#I think Janeway's certain coldness or ruthlessness which can be aimed at either friend or foe is an interesting#aspect of her personality#Ex: She and B'Elanna COULD have feasibly had a more touching scene together to close out the episode but they don't#I don't know if I'm explaining myself well right now I'm a bit ill and more than a bit tired#Something about uhh maybe....people under their command vehemently and emotionally disagreeing with them/their decisions??#you can disagree with me but not if you don't follow me anyway#Voyager a ship full of contradictions#they have to all work together and they are all closer emotionally than any other starship due to their situation#but they are also still 'at work' and are expected to follow orders. It's like a 'casual' hierarchy but it's still a hierarchy#and you can't fall too far out of line bc you're someone dear to me#but you're also a valued cog in the machine#and even though you ARE valued you ARE still a cog in the machine#but you're also my dear friend. and all of these things are true at once.#all of that of course but also Janeway & Tuvok are displaying a very particular kind of shared leadership style in these moments#Janeway is obviously on the whole MUUUCH more charismatic and understanding than Tuvok but still - when push comes to shove...

no offense but sometimes I listen to new wave and think the only reason I enjoy it is because I listened to touch-tone telephone too many times in middle school
#(affectionate)#this is aimed at the ‘lisa frank’ end of the new wave spectrum#not the ‘neon vampire’ end of the new wave spectrum#I do not feel the need to elaborate on what I mean by that#hm. double checked the release date#spirit phone came out in 2016 when I was well into high school#but I maintain that the -energy- is middle school me#actual middle school me was listening to beethoven and does not count
