#and then it exploded so I kept it going

Gonna ask this to a few people that inspire me, but how do you take inspiration from things without feeling like whatever you make is just bad in comparison? Or like a downgraded version of the thing(s) that inspired you?

(If this is too negative feel free to delete/ignore, I'm sorry)

Oh gosh this is such an interesting question since, I dont think I really have feelings of thinking my version is bad? Or that I am just a copy?

I am honestly just grateful my work became as popular as it is in the first place haha- low expectations going in to begin with. That and, I am very aware my art style isnt as defined and polished as other peoples styles, but I have come to terms with this! And hey the improvement in my own artwork over the past year is a massive trip if you go back through some of my older stuff- I am improving, slowly.

I mean, 2AL started by complete accident, and was "inspired" from me wishing the Leos from OMO or MNMC would hug it out already- but if you were to compare 2AL to one of those, they are very different. Hell even comparing OMO and MNMC, same starting point, but still very different.

I think my only advice to other people trying to make an AU is to try and find some core theme/idea and work around that, rather than gather a bunch of little things from other sources you like into a big pile. Find some key message to start up a base with.

you ever just have a lot, a LOT of feelings all at once about a character and not even remotely enough words or brainpower to FORM the words to describe everything you're feeling. so it feels like you may explode. yeah

So I’m on the third season of downton abbey. I’ve scrolled through the tag. I’ve gotten a couple things spoiled. I assumed I would have seen any posts about major character death.

Sybil’s death took me COMPLETELY off guard what the FUCK. I was crying so hard it’s not even funny I fully could not see my screen at points.

@iam93percentstardust tagged me to post 5 songs I've listened to the most lately! Thanks, Alle.

If you know, you know. This song had me heaving with sobs in All of Us Strangers. If you haven't watched that movie, please do because it's one of the most beautiful movies I've ever watched in my life. The tenderness in the scene this plays in will stay with me forever. (Okay, I've never actually watched the music video to this so I'm seeing it for the first time and...I didn't expect that.)

Obsessed, obsessed, obsessed. You can hear the desperation, the heartbreak, the pleading, the anger in the track like Lestat is speaking to you without using any words. Do you know how hard that is to accomplish? It sounds like actual dialogue. Haunting and tragic.

It was either this or "Ruin" by Usher & Pheelz, but I didn't want to put two Usher tracks so it's this one because I've lost count how many times I watched this music video. The funkiness. The clean dancing. The footwork! I nearly leapt off my chair to give a standing ovation when I first watched this (I think I did end up shouting when Usher showed up lol). And this is an example of a feature/collab done well. I don't follow BTS, but I'm aware Jungkook is an excellent dancer and this is a fantastic song to show that off.

Lmao...I have to put this here. 1. This is the year of the hater, 2. I'm always here for Drake hate, and 3. Nothing like Kendrick hibernating and then showing up with a nuke. And I just love listening to him. He could read a grocery list and I'd be screaming and clapping.

Because it's summer and this is exactly the vibe I want from a summer bop and the music video is sooooooo good. Love my black widows, my femme fatales. Love Sunmi as an artist. I make sure to watch her music videos whenever she comes out with a new song because I know it'll be something unexpected, intriguing, and offbeat.

Losing my mind at the fact that Aziraphael's love for earth and humanity started because Crowley shared the experience of eating with him. I like to think it happened immediately for Crowley, when he created the galaxies and stars.

It also parallels my personal headcanon for how they fell in love. For Aziraphael, it being with a small act of service that first opens the door, and things build up over time; vs Crowley instantly loving something made up of seemingly insignificant things that everyone else overlooks or brushes off. And we see this throughout their relationship where Crowley goes out of his way to perform small acts to the point Zira knows that he enjoys doing things for him and provides him opportunities to do so, and with Crowley noticing Zira's little idiosyncrasies and committing them to memory.

Like for Zira in season 1 waiting for Crowley to rescue him from the french revolution, or when he didn't miracle the paint off his suit because he knew Crowley would do it. Then there's the conversation with Nina where he admits that he purposely gives Crowley space to show off his love language.

And it shows for Crowley with how he fixes up the bookshop after the ball because he knows how Aziraphael keeps it, or whenever he offers to take him out for a nice meal when they're celebrating in both seasons. Even the scene when he yelled at the man feeding bread to the ducks in ducks makes me think that he's picked this up spending time with Aziraphael feeding them like in season 1.

They really love earth and each other in such different ways but they also intersect in how they show that love and its killing me.
