My friends and I used to walk in small groups of 4-8 and go either to the park outside the library, the skate park, the main river with an accessible strip of sand, or down underneath the overpass by my bf's house.

They were the places we could hang out, and now in the last 12 years, all of them have become off limits to kids.

The park outside the library is right next to where they let inmates out at the jail. This was never a problem when we would go. Sometimes people being let out would come and ask us to use a cell phone (sometimes they'd leave us with their "prison snacks" of chips in exchange.), and they were always nice. Eventually I guess some parents or the cops decided that wasn't safe tho, because now if anyone young sits out there for more than a few minutes, a cop will come over and shoo them away.

The skate park has always been right across from the police station, which was always a bit of a problem. Cops would always be watching our group like hawks, with a squad car that would pull out of their lot just to move across the street to be parked at the edge of the skate park. (This skate park, mind you, was about a 30ft by 30ft slab of concrete with one ramp, a grind bar and a set of stairs. My town has a population of less than 3k.)

If we got even a little too loud, the cop would come out and "make conversation" with us. Ask about what we were up to after this, if we had homework, if our parents knew where we were, etc. Eventually we got tired of it, but when I go back home to visit, I never see anyone there except really young kids and their parents. The place is also borderline unusable since the concrete is disintegrating.

The main river with it's little beach has been fenced off with barbed wire and a "no trespassing" sign. My group had put a rope swing up that everyone used, some others upgraded it to be a tire swing. They cut the tree in half to get rid of its branches before they put the fence up. This river is city property. No one has any real idea who put the fence up.

The underpass by my ex's old house almost always has a squad car passing by frequently. They have a cop using his paid piggy playtime to park his car, and look under the bridge for teens who God forbid might be sitting down there and talking. On public property.

Our movie theater only played a movie every other Thursday and Saturday. As far as I can tell, they don't have a regular schedule anymore. They just make a post on Facebook whenever they have a movie.

The arcade was bought by the new owners of the main casino and shut down. Their renovations to the building included completely walling off the space where it was. The bowling alley that was adjacent to said arcade is only open set hours a week, and almost always reserved by senior leagues. It used to be open every Saturday, all day, and anyone could bowl for five bucks.

It's a shit show, small towns and large alike. There's no where for kids to fucking go.

#shut your trap snippy #i feel like small towns have it especially bad #kids are even less likely to own a car #and the next town was an hour away #when options started dwindling even when i was in school eight years ago #we played video games #we all got on an xbox party and played overwatch or just our own separate games and talked #i had tumblr and deviantart #i cant imagine what kids do in their spare time in that fucking town now #every time i go home to visit i get so angry for them #we only had like five spots to pick from ourselves #but now theres nothing

This might be a hot take but can Mrs.Flood just be Mrs.Flood who knows what a TARDIS is cause she lived in London all her life, where alien shit is happening at least once a year and is always accompanied by the doctor and a strange police box.

Yk the doc aren’t as subtle as they think they are, word gets around as to what the box actually is.

#believe me when i say id love nothing more for the Rani to come back #but i also love the idea that regular ppl have finally cought on to the fact that theres an alien running around with a police box #also we need fresh characters #not everything needs to be a niche call back #i do reserve the right to take back this statement if it is the rani though #doctor who #the doctor #this is my life now huh #the rani #dw spoilers #church on ruby road #dw season 1 #dw #fifteenth doctor

the machine.

a comic about being a 'creator' online.

creative notes:

#in light of recent online 'success' i feel like this may come off as ungrateful #just wanna say that all the comics i make in this series are written about experiences i felt in 2022 #which was a rough year personally and creatively #and i very luckily don't feel this way anymore #and this also isnt to shame anyone who DOES feel this way #its easy to start to feel like all you are is a vending machine of art #and like thats all you are to people #theres nothing human to you #it can be a bit of a pit #and on some level this damage is self inflicted but social media really doesnt help that feeling #this wont work for everyone but having friends around you who you can talk to about stuff that ISNT art #going outside for dinner #maybe walking around #its good for when you need that feeling to go away even a bit temporarily #youre a human being #not a mindless content creation machine #and i hope anyone who feels like this now can get to a place where they have a healthier relationship with their own work #good luck to all of you #and thank you for reading #comic art #its 10pm #stillindigo art

This is so confusing idk what I'm saying but AU where OJ was created to be the winner but loses anyways. So now he has nothing to justify his flaws. He's just annoying with no (known) explanation to why he's like that.

#Nothing else in the timeline really changes besides Taco winning. So Mephone just gives the hotel prize over to her.#Now theres no reason for her to reveal her true personality so she just doesnt... and its weird to her bc this is what she wanted right???#why does it feel so wrong #inanimate insanity #ii oj #oj ii #myart #neo oj art

Although Fairies appear humanoid in nature, they actually have a more pure form unseen by the naked eye. This is because Humans lack the ability to perceive anything beyond the fourth dimension. Given enough magic, a Fairy can manifest their true form onto all planes of existence.

This is usually not recommended, as seeing a Fairy's purest form can cause madness. A Fairy should only use their pure form when necessary, such as containing uncontrollable wishes, or high quantities of magic. Especially since there's heavy drawbacks and sacrifices to manifesting one's pure form.

A conduit for additional power)#(the more pure the fairy is the stronger they are at magic !)#(thats why a fairy in human form (the least purest form) cant use magic but a fairy in its most purest form has LOTS of magic)#haha get bubbled idiot.#if ur wondering whats going thru peris mind during this #its jsut nothing but rage and rage and timmy and rage and rage #he's very. VERY determined to get to someone.#and also very much wants to lash out and explode and explode a thousand times over haha #theres a bit of abstraction with cosmo's pure form but thats bcs he's not actually fully one or the other. a bit of an inbetween yknow?#okok gobai now i gotta color the last 2 parts

Gore, Violence and Blood under the cut

What a mess

#fop nature au #fairly oddparents #fop a new wish #fairly oddparents a new wish #fop #dale dimmadome #Flowers OC #candy gore #gore #blood #body horror #this really is a mess on so many levels #I wanted to make this situation as difficult as possible for the fairy council to theoretically clear up #everything from the animal to the location to the injury is a nightmare to try and explain #And theres a reason I spent so much time showing the gore getting on his injury. Mans gonna have a rainbow bitemark on his leg forever now #Not exactly easy to explain away #Also I think I accidentally established that Magic was a little toxic so he might have minor blood poisoning lol #Im sure he'll be fine #This is how all gay people are made but the fairies make you forget it #Actually while scripting this I realized how much this looked like the set up for some kind were-deer or were-fairy(??) plotline #which was not the intention but would be a hilarious direction to take the plot in LMAO #Also Id like to mention that flowers is fine. Fairies are functionally immortal aside from magic backup #Itll be healed up like nothing happened it no time #that being said it is still kinda pissed about the skull smashing #Dales got multiple broken ribs plush his leg is in shambled. Absolutely demolished #He's gonna have to get metal implants #You might think 'oh he's gonna opt to get a prosthetic leg now too'#No. Because hes a cowardly little bitch #He doesnt want to get his leg removed if its not absolutely necessary and because he's a nasty little hypocrite #Anyway this will be the start of a very nasty spiral methinks

did loki just compare thor falling for jane with what he feels for mobius?

"and when he came back, he was different. changed somehow. I thought it was weakness. I mocked him. said he'd gone soft."

He just said these words while actively defending mobius after sylvie hurt him. He said those words while thinking about mobius and while standing in the pie room where they had one of their most intimate moments.

loki is different because of mobius. he's become weaker and soft because of mobius. the exact same thing that happened to his brother has now happened to him, and he's completely aware of it.

#i genuinely cannot believe this happened #do you understand how many fanfics I read with this premise #and now its real #lokius is going to happen Im tired of calling myself delusional because theres nothing delusional about this #they love each other and their love is whats gonna save the entire universe #loki #loki season 2 #loki season 2 spoilers #lokius #mobius

So Draxum got forced into the family by Mikey. I like to think Big Mama forces herself into the family when nobody asked for it.

Sends them christmas and birthday gifts that no one asked for and say they don't want, but wow I've wanted this thing for ages and it's super rare, maybe keeping it is okay? Huge question mark? Inheriting things you never wanted to? Big mama gives it all whether you want it or nah

#save rise of the tmnt #rottmnt #unpause rise of the tmnt #big mama is your mom now and theres nothing you can do about it #my art

i knwo a lot of people like the aos cadet and dress uniforms but i do Not and am actively trying to think up alternatives…… with tos kirk though lmao sorry

#anyways. tos kirk thiugh #ive never tried to draw this man younger until now. hm #star trek #captain kirk #james t kirk #also the into darkness grey ones theyre actually way worse than 2009 #like if we’re gonna stick with modern/current common cuts why not at least do something a little more different with the paneling or #color blocking or whatever #theres a tiny bit of interest w the paneling but over all just looks like if you took a japanese school uniform and westernized it and #made it worse #the all red is fun though ill give it that #the grey ones from into darkness have absolutely nothing going for them though #anyways of course costuming will always depend on the time period that it is made. but it looks sooo 2010 i mean this in a bad way #also whatever fabric was chosen for ghe red ones pisses me off idk #anyways i dunno anything about fashion. im just drawing things
