[epickiya722]

Seeing my two faves looking mad as hell, wild hair pushed back, ready to kick ass and CLAWS at the end of their chapters (JJK 238 & BNHA 413)... I am happy. I know true happiness.

This was really interesting!! 

Re: overall tumblr top 10: I think it’s funny that my throwaway moodboards are often some of the most popular content on my blog. Things I’m just like ‘ooh I gotta make this’ are mixed in with requests, I think that’s interesting! Ms. Frizzle just blowing away the competition, that’s amazing and I love it. Nothing is even close to how popular she is, and she deserves it. Jack Skellington coming onto the list twice? Come through king, I would love to write a full fic in Halloweentown sometime. 

Generally, the more ‘alternative’ characters seem to get a lot more attention on my blog: The Pumpkin King, Morticia, Wybie, Sundrop and Moondrop... Tiana and Naveen really snuck up there though! 

Moving onto the more direct fic comparison: 

....well this made me realize that I never published my Sanders Sides fics from this blog on AO3, whoops 

Setting that aside, fics with angst and plot tend to do better on AO3, while fluffy stories do better on tumblr: Sugary Sweet doesn’t even hit my top 10 on AO3 and it’s one of the fluffiest fics I’ve ever written, coming in at #5 on the tumblr list 

On the other hand, Only Heaven I’ll Be Sent To is by far one of my best performing fics on AO3, but comes in at number 6 (tied with another fic) on tumblr, probably because it features a lot of action and gore alongside the fluffy agere elements, same for Restrained showing up on the AO3 top but not tumblr’s. 

My Harry Potter fics do way better on tumblr, which is interesting? Maybe Harry Potter fans are still reading their fics on independent forums? Or Harry Potter folks on AO3 don’t cross over much with the agere crowd. (Or maybe they’re just overloaded with /reader fics) I haven’t been actually into the HP community since around 2011 so I’m not sure what’s up there. 

Big shoutout to Class Outing for dominating the top of both lists: BNHA is such a big fandom that it makes sense, and I wrote that fic on @agere-fandom-time, which I think got more interaction than this blog: it seems like people are more comfortable interacting with a group-run blog, rather than an individual writer. Or maybe that’s a natural consequence of more writers putting out more consistent content, letting the blog get bigger. I’m not sure! Either way, even if I’m not into BNHA anymore, I feel like it’s a good piece of my writing, so I’m happy for it to be my top spot.

I would pay a whole sixty dollars new Nintendo game price for a Breath of the Wild DLC that added a whole traveling naturalist storyline where they’ve made a way to update the sheika sensor with new entries for all of the non-useful flora in Hyrule, like the different flowers in the fields, the different types of trees, the thorn bushes and shrubs… maybe even the types of rocks? Anyway, add to that all the non-combative fauna like the different birds and squirrels and different creatures, maybe also the bugs and lizards?? Maybe the different colorations of horses? And the storyline would be that Link needs to go around and photograph all of these to contribute to a great compendium to help Hyrule recover from the lingering effects of the great calamity. Maybe it would start with Beedle asking you if you have any pictures of beetles collected, because he’s writing a book on his collection (which you could later buy from him and store in your house, natch), but there would be different types of things asked by different people but maybe one of the sheikah scientists helps you collate it all together into a compendium, or maybe there is a scientist OC. I imagine Flowerblight Gannon would demand pictures of every type of ornamental flower. Anyway you would get incremental rewards and hints for finding the more elusive and rare things when you turn in pictures. Maybe that Korok who wants to see a picture of a blupee would point you to other more mystical things. And if you complete everything you get a cutscene with a bunch of happy scientists and intrigued school children and instead of calling you the hero some people call you the famous naturalist.

@brofisting in makeup news, I have been splurging on some stuff and have some thoughts and conclusions!

I think that your conclusion from before, that everybody notices way less about skin texture than we do on ourselves, is totally true. But ALSO, that a lot of makeup, specifically foundation and adjacent, are intended to change the apparent texture of the skin. That looking like you are wearing makeup is, in fact, intentional. I think the conclusion is that skin is not in and of itself a desirable base for “looks” and it interferes with, yknow, capitalism. It seems like getting a true skin-but-better appearance is one of the hardest and most idiosyncratic things a makeup utilizing person can aim for.

Like, I have watched many videos and read many articles now on how to apply foundation when you have peach fuzz and stubble and that shit involves like, numerous layers of smooshing silicone all over and very fussy brush movements and presumably like, not moving your face until everything sets and then wtf I guess like, not moving for the rest of the day either??

I have also investigated how to apply foundation for older skin, skin with fine lines, skin with uneven base tones, etc. And a ton of it is either like, get those pores out of here, we can’t let them know we osmose! or like, now that you are a gaunt corpse with saggy fat lumps you have to rub this magic stone on your face every day for no reason I can explain!

So this all seems like bullshit and there is only one strain of advice I’ve come across that in any way seems legit for people who are not doing a 4K HD photoshoot in the next twenty minutes and/or a drag show, and that is: just don’t use foundation at all, because it creates a problem to be solved. Instead, use carefully chosen and applied concealer and tinted moisturizers in judiciously chosen zones, and focus on skin health. This seems to be the tack that k-beauty takes, or at least it used to, and it seems to be the best way for old people to look old and still have fun with makeup without looking like they forgot to put on half their face.

So like, things I’ve bought and have messed around with:

Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint - this shit is definitely top tier. Unlike other tinted moisturizers I’ve tried it doesn’t cake up in creases and really does seem to blur discoloration and spots. But it doesn’t interfere with skin texture and in areas where I have stubble or hair it doesn’t cling to it either. I was able to buff it out with my fingers without seeing prints, and I was able to layer on more for more coverage on a spot with a tiny cut and it didn’t get shiny.

Bare Minerals tinted moisturizer - this stuff cakes up on my dry skin BUT is a much higher coverage than the fenty stuff and is a better match for my weirdly neutral skin undertone, and it has spf. I think if I were oily it would be better. I like their powder products more but I’m not mad about this one because I can use it in combination with other products to cover stuff like a healing zit.

Bare minerals liquid concealer - definitely the best match for my skin tone. It’s ever so slightly lighter but doesn’t have any color correction and it doesn’t settle much into fine lines like other thicker concealers do. I can put some on the inner corner of my eyes, some on the redness around my nose and some on the corners of my mouth and trust that it won’t look like I have huge blobs of concealer dotted around but that it will cover any redness that I get over the day, and helps me control stuff like my resting bitch face through careful use of lipstick and eyeliner. I have also used a tiny bit as an eyeshadow base since it’s such a close match.

Elf camo concealer - damn this shit thicc. It is definitely lighter and more warm toned than my skin and mad opaque. I used way too much of it when I first tried it, not cuz I was doing guru triangles but because it just like glopped on there. If I take a teeny tiny brush and load it from the doe foot applicator, and then use it to kind of… outline my eye bags, and pop it on juuuuust a couple places where I have some dark spots, and then very very carefully bounce a damp sponge along those lines to feather it out, but not too much!! I can get some color correction and very subtle contouring (is it reverse contouring?? If it’s only highlight??) that is totally not gonna go anywhere until I wash it off. Putting it on UNDER tinted moisturizer seems to help, it’s like doing an overlay layer so it makes things more harmonious. Face, photoshop, what’s the difference honestly.

Neutrogena oil cleanser: oil cleansing is REAL. I have been doing this a few times a week for a few weeks now and my skin is way less flaky and my under eye puffiness is a bit less (I think cuz of the massage aspect, so just do lymphatic massage if you don’t want to do oil cleansing) and some of my hormonal zits went through their cycle MUCH faster. Also I seem to have less visibly oxidized sebaceous filaments on my nose and chin, hurrah! Like, they are still there, but they aren’t clogged or bumpy feeling. I tried a couple other oil cleansers and this one is cheap and not smelly and washes clean, like, it really does turn a milky texture when you get it wet and lifts off the skin easily, unlike a certain bee-themed brand which was sticky for like two days after.

Just straight up jojoba oil: I have been slapping this onto my dry flaky eczema patches and it doesn’t mitigate the itch but my skin is SO MUCH faster at being not horribly red and inflamed when I leave this on there. It absorbs really well and doesn’t leave residue and I assume if I am ever actually sufficiently moisturized that won’t be the case but as it is I appear to be a sponge for this. It is helping my chronically chapped lips! It doesn’t taste like ass like a lot of other intense moisturizers, and isn’t an exfoliant or anything, but it seems to be helping the wrinkly parts of my lips be less wrinkly. Which leads to better lipstick application and so-on.

I did indeed shave my face with one of those little face razors. I am now stubbly and the texture is NOT desirable. The moment I did it I played around with makeup and it was okay, but maybe not like… better than when I’d done it pre-shave. And like, later that night I had shadow, so… fuck that. I think I’m gonna mess around with sugaring my stache and chin hair, and definitely leaving my cheek fuzz to be free and flowing. I think that not using a foundation at ALL on areas where I have dark hair is actually better than trying to cover it up.

Let me know how your quest to be the hottest boy band boy is going!

Broke: when they are in civvies, bakugou is goth punk, midoriya is a candy pastel cutie

Woke: they both go incognito, bakugou wears soft lavender and cute character merch with fluffy sweaters, midoriya is full goth with eyeliner and torn fishnets and studded leather

Bespoke: neither of them have a single thought beyond heroing in their heads and thus graduate with only school uniforms and ancient gym clothes, they run into each other in full costume at 3am at target shopping for pj pants a month after graduation.

My #1 post of 2022

One thing that helps me identify purity culture in disguise is asking this question: are they telling me what is and is not pure, or are they giving me a framework to decide for myself and only myself? Like, for example, when talking about fandom stuff, is a person saying a story that contains certain things will be bad universally for everyone, or is someone saying that the reason something is bad for them and possibly for me is because it contains those certain things and why that is? In something like nutrition, is someone giving “advice” that talks about lists of things I must include and exclude from my diet because we all must optimize our machine-bodies? Or is someone explaining how certain foods can make some people feel different things, how to recognize those feelings and ideas for how to change that if we think it necessary? In religion, is someone telling me what god declares about all people, or is someone talking about how we can individually relate to the things their god has declared?

Some Bnha Chapter 238 leaks *SPOILERS*

Look at him go 😩👌

I have never been more excited over a ripped shirt in my life.

fuck em up honey 👏

Fuck ME up honey

[khorale]

Bnha 238

The thing he treasured for so long, has finally ceased to be. His guilt, his fears, his quirk - they’re not holding him down anymore.

What I noticed from previous chapters(but thought was just some artistic decisions) was that now that he’s remembered everything, Shigaraki’s hair turned actual white. Compare this to the flashback he has on that page, and you can clearly see the inner lines that used to outline his hair is gone now. I think that reexperiencing his childhood trauma lightened his hair again. Or, that’s what Bones will eventually use to retcon Shiggy’s hair.

Re-Destro finally goes 100%, but Shigaraki pulled off an awesome counter! In order to avoid being flung back through the city like last time, this time he parried Re-Destro’s attack before it could even leave his hand, nullifying the whole thing and emerging unscathed.

Smoke swirling around him, a broken jacket flapping about like wings. He really is like an angel of death and destruction.

At the same time, even after accumulating so much damage (is it just shading or is his left foot gone??!), he’s still smiling and talking nonchalantly.

Re-Destro is spooked now. (Finally we get our obligatory reaction of fear directed towards Shigaraki. Horikoshi did say that when making Shigaraki, he wanted the readers to feel fear towards him. It’s no surprise he also demonstrates it through the reactions of other characters.) Honestly, watching someone you thought was weak, but constantly getting back up and refusing to stay down, eventually when your attacks just stop damaging him while he inches closer to you... having Shigaraki as an opponent really is scary.

Re-Destro’s chest going doki-doki. He has long since lost his calm composture. But what he’s feeling isn’t fear, because fear would add to his power.

It’s Love, baby.

Lol, jk. But honestly Shiggy saying Re-Destro’s size isn’t impressive, and Re-Destro feeling an emotion that’s reducing his stress. Really makes you think, eh?

Nah, I’ll say more about my theory when we get to the later pages.

But anyway, Re-Destro goes 150% in a mecha suit, Gigantomachia is still heading their way, and Dabi finally came back! With a concerning discolored hand, but still in one piece (for now). Meanwhile... Mr. Compress is showing a heart! 👌👌

Ujiko is really harsh with the get-Shiggy-stronger-plan, huh. (Poor John-chan) But I understand his caution since nobody outside of the League knows about his existence.

Still gotta deal with collateral though. What’ll he do if Shigaraki just lose all his limbs like Darth Vader?

Geten and Re-Destro showed a closer relationship than others. It looks like a father-son or master-disciple kind of thing. With all these flashbacks, I think we’ll get more of the story soon, or if they survive this arc.

Gigantomachi arrives, and saw what Shigaraki is doing with a strange look on his face. At the same time Re-Destro remarked about how Shigaraki is using his quirk how he wants to - representing the roots of what the Liberation Army stood for.

What Re-Destro felt as he saw the unleashing of Shigaraki’s liberated quirk, what eased the stress that he built up all this time, what Gigantomachia showed in his expression.

It was awe. 

Since Shigaraki is using his quirk however he wants, and it’s exactly what the liberation army ideology is about (not counting how other members twisted it to fit what they want). But what Re-Destro want is to follow Destro’s footsteps, absolving Destro’s regrets and taking everything so seriously that he would snap his secretary’s neck when he criticized the book.

 I think after years of stress and building up the Liberation army and its ideology, seeing it used, actually gave him some catharsis and easing back his stress.

Anyways, no chapter next week!

Edit: Btw I almost forgot. Shigs is taking down the whole city... is the League gonna be okay? The decay’s not going to spread to them, right? Right?? (Hopefully we get to see if Shigaraki can direct it to hit who he wants to destroy and leave his comerades alone).

[shmothman]

the way the cape is framed to look like a fallen angel’s wings... dare i say... the cinnamon topography.....

[todo-dorky]

Me logging on to read the latest chapter thinking maybe this week we'll get Dabi backstory

[swiftwind3]

It's almost over y'all 👀👀

aMEN

BITCH

At this point, Bones' practically obligated to animate this entire arc panel for panel. I hope the don't just animate flapping clothes. I'm thinking Dark Shadow's animation for some reason.

I keep forgetting Horikoshi put that in there. Howーwhy would he put something like that in there? It's so cool but it's making me lose my mind, like, I legit can't believe he's really making the doctor experiment on fucking children!!!!! And turning them into fucking Noumu!!!!!!!! at least that's what i've gathered feel free to correct me

HE HAS AWOKEN

thank god finally
