#being sentimental tonight

[spotsandsocks]

January can be gloomy so here’s a little bit of love for pocket friends and those that help fill my dash with good things. I’ll be tagging friends and mutuals, some people who won’t know me and some who do, I hope nobody minds too much, feel free to ignore me. Thank you to fandom by me💕

Thank you fanfic writers; your imagination seems endless, your words sail ships that may never reach their destination but you’re taking us where we want to go anyway. You give us stories that we’ll never see anywhere else, that make us smile and cry, a 1000 kisses in a 1000 ways. You break our hearts and rebuild it, you keep us company in the dark when we can’t sleep, what would we do without you?

Gif makers; your talents are a mystery to me, you take our shows and catch our favourites in moments of time, slow them and spin them into something clearer, brighter, better and new. You use your time to give us beautiful colours, sometimes you wrap your creations in songs and poems to make us smile and break our hearts. Isn’t that amazing.

Artists you create such amazing things, how? How is there so much talent in your fingertips. It seems impossible to me. You draw or edit or manipulate images to bring such joy, you see what’s not there yet and make it real, imagine our delight when our imagination appears before our very eyes. You can show us things we can only dream of, how wonderful is that, how talented you are.

And you out there who see things about our shows and in them, who share it and see patterns who tie it together and say did you see, do you think, did you know, and you write and write and write such wonderful metas (even if sometimes you hide in the tags) you amaze us with what you see and give hope. It really wouldn’t be the same here without you.

And then last but not least, never that, there’s you, who read and hit kudos, who write comments, the re bloggers and the friends, people who write tags that are funny and smart and kind; do you know what you do, what it means, how your names are noticed and remembered, how you make people smile at their inboxes and notifications. I hope you do.

To all of you I think that you should know that you help bring happiness into places you can’t imagine, to people you will never meet and faces you might never see and I thank you for it 💕💜💕

Tagging under cut there are so many more of you I know but maybe you’ll see this anyway in your travels around this little blue app we love to hate

smth smth about 'the thing that the character did that you thought was rly rly funny in the moment is actually linked to a terrible trauma that lies within said character.' or wahtever.

So... quick update on the Eurovision situation

The EBU decided that Israel can compete despite their country being under an active Genocide investigation by the ICJ. Their delegation have gone on to antagonise other contestants by filming them for their social media without permission and refusing to remove it when asked, harass journalists who have questioned if their inclusion is appropriate, and their commentators have made horrendous comments about the Irish contestant... all without sanction.

Meanwhile the Dutch contestant got into an undisclosed 'incident' with a female member of the production crew and they've referred it to the police and flat out disqualified him from the contest with less than 12 hours notice...

Which seems like a tremendous act of double standards at an event that is already marred by serious controversy. Obviously the second is not acceptable, but very difficult to understand how the first somehow... is?

[callsign-relic]

It happened… idk how. But it happened.

900 people who like my posts enough to follow me and see more… I’m truly honored.

In this case, I’d specifically like to thank @velvetwyrme for mentioning me in their amazing art, as that was what gave my blog the boost to finally reach this milestone. In the grand scheme of the internet, 900 might not appear to be much, but that’s a full auditorium of people. And whether or not some of these account are even active, it’s still a very big amount. Even when I feel like I haven’t posted anything substantial enough in months to even really earn it :,) haha

So really. Thank you all so much. As someone who struggles with being herself and embracing my interests and who I am, seeing so many people who want to see and even share in what I talk about means so much to me.

I can’t thank everyone enough ❤️

Feeling shy writing this, but here’s a brief love letter to the Good Omens fandom on this fine day…

Back when the first season was released, I fell head over heels in love with you all. I was so, so smitten — I devoured all your gorgeous fics, all your stunning art, all your brilliant headcanon. I had so many feelings about these two idiots that no one in the world understood, except for YOU PEOPLE.

And now, flash forward to four years later, here we go again. Round and round we go. 💜 So grateful for everyone and all the positivity here.

honestly i have a really have a hard time looking at my old vrai stuff. but going through old stuff for grtv fills me with absolute delight, its been so long but i still hold so much love for this story and the people who followed it

[torra-and-the-toons]

Man, it’s so wild that I’ve gotten out TWENTY PAGES for this comic so far. To some, 20 pages might not seem like a lot, but for a fan comic that’s done in what little spare time I have, 20 pages is a miracle. And for how much effort and love I put into each page to make sure it looks clean and believable... it’s another miracle I haven’t lost interest or gotten frustrated to the point of quitting.

Some of the panels have challenged me, I’ve had to put aside my perfectionist ways and settle with panels that aren’t as good as they could be, but that’s alright. I think overall, even just from the start of page 1, I’ve improved as an artist solely because of a project like this... because I kept trying. And I hope I can improve even more. 

Even if I end up having to take longer breaks, I will keep drawing for “In the Ed.” Even if I just have 1 person following it, I will keep trying.

So, to those of who who have stuck around, to those who might find me in the future, truly and honestly thank you from the bottom of my heart for stopping by. Even if you stopped by and hated it, at least you gave it a shot, and for that, I thank you.

A dear friend sent this to me this morning.

I laughed. I'm already a little teary.

Today I'm watching the season premiere and finale of each season to prepare for tonight.

I got up early for this. I took two days off work.

I can't believe Riverdale is ending, though I know my journey with this show is far from over. I'll still be writing fics and posts. I've got a lot of essays to finish and record. There's still so much to say and learn from this show.

I've already learned so much. Grown so much. The gift of this show has already been immense. I could ask for no more.

Art is really powerful. I'll leave it at that for now.

No matter what happens tonight, I love you all, everything.

I'll see you on the other side.

Fun fact: The fairy tale flash fiction has now passed 4,000 words.

cannot explain how uncomfortable and like. lowkey unsafe it makes me feel to see someone openly express like. "i feel so loved by god!" kinda sentiment. Immediate activation of something in my brain. cultivating your online experience is so important and freeing (i unfollow people without hesitation for that </3). not cause (christian) religion itself is inherently bad (i believe that it is but that's my own business not anyone else's) but like. i Cannot have that in my space. oh my god.

An update: my great-aunt, who also has alzheimer's, told me that it's okay that I'm afraid to get a job but she knows I can do it and I 🥺🥺
