i've read quite a few fics about jamie and malcolm that focus on jamie growing up in motherwell or glasgow and the way it's depicted bothers me so much as someone who grew up in the working class council estates in lanarkshire and edinburgh. some of the fics i've read genuinely treat jamie's home like it's a slum. they make it seem grimy and ugly and unsafe and horrible. as if that's why jamie wants to leave his home, and not because of more realistic issues like his home life or family or a desire to go somewhere bigger / different. 'deprived' areas aren't horrible scary shiteholes where everyone is just waiting for the chance to escape. i'm tired of middle class people looking at places that look like my childhood home and thinking up images of crime and destitution and hopelessness. places that look like jamie's home are the same as the places that hold some of the best memories i have of my entire life. i see a scottish council estate and see some of the most precious people and experiences i've ever known because guess what. it's just a place. it's someone's home. not because they're trapped there and they don't have a choice so they're forced to 'make the most of it'. it's just home. you don't have to understand it or like it or want to live there yourself, but at least try and be normal about areas that don't look like your middle class view of the world
#it reminds me of high school when this posh kid asked if i was scared to walk home because of where i lived#scared of fucking what ??? my neighbours ??? the dudes who sat in the skate park playing gangnam style on a bluetooth speaker ???#be normal for two seconds please.#it's sometimes not even about the fact that those places are Home to some people. it's also just that they're normal places ???#maybe not to you because your parents work jobs that you can't explain in a single sentence and you can afford walkers crisps#but to normal people. that's just A Place#and listen i get it. poverty is real and it sucks. it's obviously a problem in most of these places#but in my case it was just how life was. it wasn't all doom and gloom and suffering and wishing it was different#that's just how life was. i still had good memories and nice people around me#as a kid i didn't think about what i lacked because i'd been born without it. i LIKED my house and my neighbourhood#sorry for enjoying living somewhere you clearly think is some orwellian nightmare for some reason

I've seen people say that Rose (Tyler) is haunting the Doctor's narrative, but they haven't really considered that you never truly get over your Scottish highlander boyfriend and the daughter you guys adopted getting their memories wiped by your own people and having to live with that guilt, which causes you to become more distant to and dismissive of your companions because you can't have the people you love be taken from you again because of your own actions.
You don't want to lose them, but you have to, because that means it's your choice, and leaving someone is a whole lot easier than them leaving you.

Coding woes (Patreon)
#Doodles#Original#Ukadevlog#Bug testing sure is something lol#These are both problems I've figured out now luckily! And I did them on my own! :D Extra pleased with myself :3#My slightly cocky attitude of ''Well that was frustrating - luckily I'll never run into another problem again'' amuses me lol#'Cause in the moment everything's flying! The code comes together lovely and it's all great! And then I come up to the next thing#Something I haven't done before - something that there's no Direct how-to of how to do a thing#Like setting player-and-character pronouns! I didn't know how to do that! But I figured it out!! :0 What a rush haha#It really did take me an evening of knocking my head against the wall in attempts - I waaaayyy overcomplicated it to start haha#I was like - trying to set up a system that would call on specific pronoun sets individually based on player input#Ridiculous - so much easier to just slap some values into an envelope and have those tied to a specific shell lol#But that took all night! I got sleepy while working on it and even my drowsy brain was like Wait...what am I supposed to check against? Haha#Such a weird experience subconsciously as well :0 'Cause I had normal dreams that night#Maybe some slight code-adjacent dreams of A Screen With Text On It but that could be anything :P#Most of it was just normal dream melodrama - but in the few times I woke up to readjust or roll over or pull my blanket#It was juuuuust enough for my ''conscious'' brain to kick in and think about what to compare against - what structure would work#And so by the time I woke up proper I had to frantically write down a bunch of code in a spare word document so I wouldn't go stir crazy lol#Breakfast must wait! Dailies must wait! I Have to write this down!!#And when I implemented it - it worked exactly as I hoped it would and is much much Muuuuuch simpler to call upon haha#Wow! That was a weird fluke that definitely won't happen again! Haha#I don't actually believe that I just have no way of guessing which aspect will trip me up - This Should Be Easy! And then it isn't lol#Definitely didn't predict the second - Especially because other than a small roadbump of not knowing how to Shell-Switch (ty again Cherry ♥)#Everything up to then was going well and everything after that was going fine! Until The One Thing happened pffbtl#I wanted to assign a value to check if a specific piece of code was being called upon - basically a fork between two outcomes#That went fine! The value Was changing! But only the first fork was being called???#No lol I just didn't put the second = ugh pft - and what's more frustrating is that I'd been using == up to that point!! I'd been warned!!!!#I - for some reason - was convinced that using && would make the value check Only need to check If x = 1... That's not how it works......#It's an If statement! If x = 1 then why do I have to check IF x == 1! Just check!!! Hwagh rules and whatnot lol#Like I said it's all fixed now but sheesh! What a silly mistake! I knew better!! And now I double know better haha

would you guys be interested in venom/the magnus archives crossover fan art
#I wanna draw the guys as avatars#also I think it would be a fun challenge to try to make Venom visibly an avatar of the hunt#because they already look like that#but I have ideas for the others :3#venom#venom comics#venom movies#the magnus archives#I’m going to elaborate in the tags because I can#so Eddie is 100% an avatar of the corruption#and is also the type of guy who willingly became an avatar#he’s so deranged he would be enthralled by the wasp nest in his attic#he would be a victim of the lonely though#like especially comics!Eddie#because his bond with the symbiote is so deep that like. being singular sends him into a depressive spiral#flash is an avatar of the slaughter#but he’s not deranged like Eddie his was more of a result of his situation#like being a bully and then joining the military#very slaughter coded#and yes he’s made up for the bullying so I’m not sure how that would play in?? but he still does have some anger issues#he’s a victim of the web#like one the alcoholism is classic web#and two being manipulated. like the whole agent venom arc where he was essentially being blackmailed by jack olantern#venom is a manifestation of the corruption#an avatar of the hunt#and probably also a victim of the lonely#like I think the idea of being alone as a being who’s whole purpose is to bond and connect with a host would be devastating#recently I think they could probably also be a victim of the desolation given that everyone important to them keeps fucking dying lmao#I’m kinda second guessing myself with flash because he’s just so damn normal like he doesn’t revel in war but I also want to give him one#do any of my followers know both of these. if so please help me out I’m struggling with flash 😭

#please ask if i need to tag anything#especially w the second pic#my art#my doodles#fan art#fanart#the funky phantom#hanna barbera#april stewart#these two doodles were drawn a day apart and I find that very hilarious#funny enough april is my go-to whenever I’m doing a warmup sketch or something#I just love how simplistic her design is she’s very fun to draw#I am pretty proud of how the second piece turned out#wanted to go for a style outside my typical norm#that and I’ve been very inspired by junji ito’s work lately#love his art style omgg#it’s a new year and I’ve still yet to properly draw mudsy sorry again grandpa#i have drawn him a couple times but they’re very rough sketches and I normally don’t like posting rough sketches rip

made an irresponsible lord huron purchase tonight but what the hell else am I supposed to do when their next album is overdue
#it isnt SUPER irresponsible lmao it almost was because i almost started buying CLOTHING#i just bought the two vinyls i dont have yet and a stupidly expensive candle#anyway also i know no album is ''overdue'' but they released the first four with two year breaks in between and#its been two years :( summer of 24 was supposed to be the next#apparently they're playing some new songs on tour so people think the next album teasers will start dropping after the tour#but im starting to be filled with a very evil sickness lord huron where are you!!!!!! nobody gets it like you!!!!!!#also to be fair they made the entire score of a movie in between those two years so TECHNICALLY they DID release the next album#ITS NOT THE SAME THOUGH i need new songs with lyrics that make me feel like im being strangled (on account of the crying)#im not at all bored of their older stuff (which is wild to me bc i have adhd brother. all i do is get bored of things)#but in order for me to survive i need to be chewed up and spit out by music every now and then#and NOBODY does it like lord huron#twirling my hair around my finger spring 25 maybe?#also if that (frankly ridiculously) expensive knit sweater t shirt is still in the shop after the holidays#a second irresponsible purchase will be hitting my bank account lmfao#i have one shirt w their logo on it but its TOO SMALL#and im ANGRY ABOUT IT#why i didnt just return it and get a bigger size i will never know but they dont carry it anymore :(#ANYWAY they left me with ''i was born with an ace up my sleeve'' and expected me (ace) to just be normal about it????#please make lots of merch and music. its how i stay alive :)

went outside and exercised normally for the first time since The Incident and i felt fine outside of the expected Hasn't Exercised in several months feelings. against doctor's orders btw but i would rather be dead than forced to spend all my time at home not doing a single thing that could exert me in any way <3
#:)#like it's so funny that they mandated i cannot drive leave the country vigorously exercise or eat snack food maybe ever again for no reason#fully my medical notes read like i'm in the managed decline phase of a terrible chronic illness even though i'm literally chilling#i feel no worse than how i normally do a couple weeks after a rough covid infection like babygirl i have no debilitating symptoms.......#PLUS my kidneys are slowly unfucking themselves anyway like. do i really need this much independence taken away for my own protection......#longterm housebound for a short term Silly Incident??? please be serious for more than two seconds#cranky about this because it's been a month and there's still no diagnosis but they have the room to tell me what i can't do#my appointment a couple days ago was supposed to clear me to do certain things again but they denied it and i've been sulking for days#literally the only thing wrong with me is that my blood tests are saying bad things and some really annoying side effects of my meds#and i can guarantee that me resting and doing nothing is not the reason i'm not in pain or otherwise suffering in any measurable way#even when i was actively in a state of dying in hospital i wasn't in pain like get with it!!!#sometimes if i think about this too hard i end up feeling like a caged animal lmao
