#but thank you for asking!!

[livelaughlou]

ohhh i love lou's microexpressions and I've also been thinking about 806 being filmed before 805! Tell me your thoughts about it, please!!!

Ooooh! Okay, I want to preface this by saying that this is all just my own supposition and thoughts on this and my agreement on theories that prescribe to the idea that the hurdle in 8x06 is going to do with Tommy maybe not having people in his life who, for example, would wait for him for hours in a hospital waiting room.

Sorry this took so long to answer, I wanted to go back and watch the specific scenes so I could articulate my thoughts on this accurately.

So there's a few times actually, that when Buck mentions Billy Boils being alone, Tommy gets this sort of look on his face. Not sad, but just...like he relates to it, I think. The first time he does this is right after Buck tells him that Billy was hogtied by his buddies and turned into the sheriff. This could be that he knows what it's like to be betrayed, but I actually think it's more that that betrayal showed that Billy Boils was alone at a hard time.

The funeral scene is another one. When Buck talks about Billy being alone, Tommy's face shifts just a little, again like he was relating to it. But then Buck says that he's in Billy's posse now, and Tommy smiles so sweetly at him. Sure, this could be because he loves Buck's big heart, but also maybe because he likes the idea that Buck would choose to do that just because he could. Found family, you know?

And then the most obvious part is the hospital waiting room scene when Tommy says that it's so beautiful when you have people there if things go wrong. The expression on his face is almost one of amazement, like he can't believe that that exists.

So, if what I saw is right (and of course I can't find the post now) that they filmed some of 8x06 before scenes for 8x05, I think it could be totally possible that LFJ is sort of...not telegraphing it, it's more subtle than that, but just working in the idea that Tommy may frequently "have a guy" when he needs one, but doesn't necessarily have any close friends or family when things really get rough. His amazement that all of the 118 was there for Denny really drives that home for me. I love the idea that the 118 would choose to show up for Tommy too. He's Buck's, right? So he'd be the 118's too.

This might all just be my wishful thinking and being a little fanciful about my boy Tommy Kinard, but it's interesting to think about.

hiii amira! you know not who i am, but i think your selfships are cute. i know for your genshin selfships, you're a sumerian princess and my question is what is your base lore (like are you from the rainforest or desert, do you have a vision) and how does your journey differentiate from selfship to selfship with how you end up meeting them and how you think your life changes per individual?

Hi nyla!! Ahhhhh I’m flattered that you think my selfships are cute 🙈

So I’ve actually only thought up lore for my selfships with cyno and capitano and a little bit for tighnari, kinich and kazuha. I have almost nothing for the rest which is quite a few (im sorry im a whore for genshin men 😅).

And of those ships, I am only a Sumerian princess in my selfships with cyno and kinich. And even in those two, the lore differs a lot.

But one thing I have in common in all my selfships is that I have an anemo vision and use a polearm.

I’m gonna try and summarize things bc there are too many details in some of these and I’m worried things will be too confusing ha ha. Also this is gonna be so long I’m sorry

CYNO

With cyno, I am princess of the Kingdom of Sahra (made up) in the desert of sumeru and am betrothed to Alhaitham who is prince of the Kingdom of Ilm (also made up) in the forest side of Sumeru. Long story short, my kingdom is attacked and there are threats of my assassination being sent to the castle. So Alhaitham sends his lead guard, Cyno, to escort me safely to the forest.

The art I have with cyno is when I first meet him actually!! That very same night of our first meeting is when my palace is attacked and cyno and I escape through the walls and underground routes. He is then tasked with guarding me across the desert while avoiding a group of hunters that want me dead. (They want me dead bc of a prophecy that says I’ll be the one who kills their organization’s leader).

During our journey we go through different cities, tiny villages, mysterious runes etc etc. We even come across this little guy who Cyno hatesss bc he distrusts it but I love him and drag him along on our journey. I still haven’t picked a name for him but he is our adventure pet (every good adventure needs one)

As we travel, we learn more about each other and in turn fall in love. I fell first he fell harder. I’m the first person to laugh at his jokes (I genuinely love his jokes they make my day) and he’s so protective of me that it makes me swoon. Fun fact is that I pretend that I’m absolutely helpless bc I rather like watching him fight for me and I’m a sucker for being the damsel in distress. But at some point I am forced to actually fight and ofc I kick ass. However cyno is completely surprised by my skill and finds me admirable but also ridiculous bc why have I been hiding it????

There’s also definitely a moment where we’re stopping by a village with an ongoing festival and bc it’s me I can’t not join their dancing. Eventually I pull him in to dance with me and it’s one of those oh moments where he realizes he’s falling for me. Which is bad bc I’m supposed to marry his friend and prince, Alhaitham. So that’s where the angst comes in but by the time we get to Alhaitham’s palace, I too have fallen for cyno duh.

I am stubborn af so I straight up tell Alhaitham I don’t wanna marry him and he’s like yeah ok I don’t have a problem with that. (Me and haitham are chill penpals and also he has a separate romance with a friend of mine in this au). And instead me and cyno get married but only after we work with Alhaitham and co. to take down all the people behind my death threats etc.

This was all inspired by this art I saw. It’s one of my fave cyno fanarts and this whole idea rushed into my brain when I saw it

KINICH

With kinich, I’m a Sumerian princess also from the desert side but I’ve run away for the chance to adventure. And bc I have no sense of direction but find trouble easily, I end up in a deadly situation where I’m running for my life from a yumkasaurus on the cliffs of natlan. I slip off the cliff and my scream alerts kinich who is nearby and swings over to save me from my death kinda like a spiderman moment. When we get to safety he scolds me for being so careless, which makes me wanna annoy him even more so he low-key starts to hate me.

When he brings me to Mauvika (by force btw bc I don’t want to see her) she recognizes me as royalty right away (that’s why I didn’t wanna see her) but I convince her to assign him as my travel guide so I can adventure natlan safety. Our relationship is very I annoy him and he is forced to just deal with it. He’s a very patient man loooool

CAPITANO

I’ve written something for my selfship with him here!!

TIGHNARI

With tighnari I’m a new scholar at the akedimiya who took on a research product about a specific consecrated red vulture that was acting abnormally. But I somehow got caught in its grip and it started flying me to its nest in the forest (that’s the abnormality. It lives in the cool wet forest instead of the hot dry dessert). At some point while it’s flying I try to fight my way out of its claws and I succeed but then fall a big fall in the middle of the forest. The trees slow down my descent and tighnaris quick reflexes catch me just in time. That’s how we meet!! I don’t have anything else for this ship but I know that he makes me very flustered ����

KAZUHA

With kazuha, it’s kinda angsty and that’s bc he took fucking forever to come home so I created this based on my upset feelings when pulling for him. I’ve spent the most money and wishes on him and everytime he makes me use the absolute maximum amount of wishes I hate him (I don’t).

But basically I’m a simple village girl from inazuma who fell in love with kazuha but he left on that ship with beidou one day without telling me which broke my heart. For weeks and weeks, I wait for him to come back but all he does is send one letter explaining why he had to leave. But it hurt me too much already, so I leave our house bc I don’t want the reminder of him being gone. By the time he comes back to visit, I’ve also left. There’s no trace of me left. And now he’s determined to travel teyvat to find me again.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ˏ

I don’t have much lore with rest of my genshin faves (scara, childe, heizou, zhongli, aether, lyney etc) but one day I’d like to brainstorm some!!

[writermask-0807]

I'm curious what do you think Kianna's yandere type is?

I'm not really knowledgeable about most types of yandere (usually im not into it), so forgive me if I'm wrong.

I feel like Kianna would be a mix of different types tbh.. kind of laid back because she does allow her partner to go out with their friends, family and all, and their relationship would look pretty normal all things considered, (though she definitely has blackmail material or smth she'd hold over her s/o's head for them to be mostly complacent), but I don't think she'd be afraid of a little force.

oh, her partner's threatening to leave, tell people about what's really happening behind the scenes? she'll only remind them, quite calmly, might I add, that first of all; nobody would believe them at all, if only for the reason they were so attached at the hip, and her partner's only spoken good things about her during their very brief friendship. and it wouldn’t add up at all now, would it? everyone would think her s/o would be exaggerating, no? and it would be passed off as a simple lover's quarrel, so what's really the point of trying when they’re never gonna get away from her??

and second of all- well, is her darling forgetting what she has over them? she could oh so very easily ruin her s/o's life and isolate them for everyone else just like that, and let's not forget the rest of their family...

she was pretty prone to stalking her beloved before their relationship, too- small things that they wouldn't really notice, like a key chain they'd thought they misplaced, or a worn out jacket or even some socks, perfume. anything that she can get hands on.

and so all of this is to sum up the fact that her darling is never getting out of her grip. and why would they even want to? kianna's manipulating them into believing the fact that only she can love them, only she can take care of them as much as she does.

(though, a bird trapped inside a golden cage is still trapped in the end.)

hello!! i absolutely adore your webcomic, its so funny, well written and also visually just stunning! i was wondering, how did you come up with the idea for datm?

hey THANK YOU!! So glad you like it!

I was originally inspired by the concept of a necromancer whos whole visual imagery and motifs were about vanitas still lives, like the flemish 1800s ones:

I love those paintings

And TBH I was thinking about this in 2015. My first thought was... a homestuck AU. My second thought was... god I have so many honmestuck AUs. I should make my own stupid characters.

Then I did! I used them as dolls for a couple years (there are some really old comics of them) and then decided I wanted a long comic project and wrote them a real story.

That really is how it went - the story writing was based on a bunch of loose character threads I had that I wove together into a narrative. I don't recommend writing stories like that, but it worked for me eventually!

Okay I definitely have to know what is Baby!EllieAu and shaking and shivering👀

hi! I answered baby!Ellie AU here!

shaking and shivering is a pretty new one and it's off my BTHB card that came about from a riffing session with some friends! it's so new that I don't have any snips to share but the premise is an alternate version of events at Silver Lake that ends up with Ellie and Joel separated and Ellie thinking Joel is dead. Ellie heads back to Jackson to tell Tommy what happened and get directions to SLC, Joel heads back to Jackson cause he knows that's where Ellie would go.

lots of angst, lots of trudging through the snow while injured, so lots of shaking and shivering lol

thank you for playing the game

will we ever get a moment where Caleb the Resident Idiot surprises everyone with his knowledge on anatomy

I’ve honestly thought about this a lot. Hilariously, I think there's a line in one chapter where Caleb is trying to explain some stretches to Ashley, and she literally doesn't pay attention. Because it makes sense and he also probably sounds a bit preachy. 

The problem with Caleb's knowledge of anatomy is that it intrinsically fits with his aesthetic as a gym rat. Looking at him and then having him come up to you while you complain about a chronic tightness in your shoulder and having him detail exactly what nerves might be pinched or muscles might be weak and how to strengthen them wouldn't clock as too strange. It doesn’t matter how dumb he is otherwise, so long as the area of expertise fits the appearance, it won’t make you bat an eye. Same thing for his particular dietary know-how as I’ve never met a gym dude who wasn’t also an amateur dietician. 

Now, having him instruct you on how best to clean stains off a carbon steel skillet or get wine out carpet or what kind of washing machine works best for your household or talk about what he’s learned about knitting cause he went down a rabbit hole to buy yarn for someone and can hold a conversation about it, that would strike you as weird. Why the fuck does a guy like that know anything about chemical reactions or household appliances or stitches? He’s an upper middle class beefcake; you’re telling me he cleans? And understands the science behind it????

Impossible. Not real. He’s faking it for attention or to get his pebis touched.

(at least that’s how I look at it, anyways :D)

do you sell prints and would you sell a print of your latest vax piece? 👀

I sell prints periodically through my Etsy but only every couple of months for my own sanity haha. It’s closed right now (I just did a run last month) but I always announce when it opens again, and you can bookmark it HERE. Vax will be there when I open it again!

Emergency: Help save my children's lives

Dear humanity,

I am Habib from Gaza. I am married and have four children: Menna, 12 years old, Adam, 10 years old (suffering from quadriplegia), Maria, 6 years old, and Ezz, one year old. Although they are young, they have survived previous wars, but this current war is the most difficult of all. This is a war of genocide, and the difficulty of the war lies in the inability to meet the needs of my son Adam, who needs special care.

Over the past ten months, we have been caught in the crossfire of the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Our once peaceful home in Khan Yunis has been reduced to rubble, and now we find ourselves displaced in Deir al-Balah, living in squalid conditions in a makeshift tent on the streets. The devastation not only deprived us of our physical shelter, but also destroyed my livelihood - the once thriving business that supported our family's well-being, is now in ruins. The daily struggle for survival is exacerbated by the scarcity of basic necessities such as clean water, adequate sanitation and basic medical supplies

Our home was the place where we found hope and safety, and where we made precious memories. Losing him was like losing years of our lives.

Not only that, they destroyed my source of livelihood, burned it, and demolished it with bulldozers, and today I am without a home and without a job. I was working in a store I owned that met the needs and expenses of my family

Living in tents is miserable. There is a lack of drinking water, hot sun rays, and strange insects that have terrified my children. What hurts me most is my young son Ezz, who I see growing up in an unclean environment and with no healthy food for him. I believe he has not received his right to life.

At this stage, my husband and I decided to go to you and create an account on the Go Fund Me website and ask you to help us in these difficult times until we get out of Gaza, from the land of war to the land of peace. All we need from you is to support us and help us to get out of the war, even if you cannot help. You should spread the word. This campaign is everywhere and among your friends. We thank you for your stance and support for us. Thank you, my friends

The amount that will be collected from this campaign :

We will spend it by paying the amount to coordinate entry through the Rafah land crossing, which connects Gaza to the State of Egypt, since, as I mentioned, they charge an adult $5,000, but depending on the pressures, crises, and waiting, the amount may reach $7,000 per person, and children $2,500 to $4,000.

We will also use it for the rest of the travel and safe transportation expenses to provide for all family members.

A picture of my children's life before the war

A video of my children's lives living the war

May God reward you with all the best and may God bless you

Best wishes with sincere gratitude,

Habib's family

hbomberguy’s latest video on plagiarism has made me completely rethink literature and writing. I have never once so much as considered intentionally plagiarizing anyone or anything, but I think there’s something more that has come out of this: the names of the people who created the works Somerton (and others) ripped off.

Plagiarism isn’t only bad because it is lazy and disrespectful, it’s bad because it buries the truth. If you can’t find a source, the conversation is over. Somerton’s sources are fairly easy to find by simply searching his plagiarized lines, but that isn’t true in most cases. Most of the time, the line from statement to source is a lot less clear.

Today, I was writing a report on English Ivy, which is an invasive species here in the US. I wanted to know when it was introduced and I at last found a source claiming it was introduced to the Americas “as early as 1727” on a .net website that seems quite reputable (it has multiple major universities credited in its home page), but there is no citation for where this date came from. I dug deeper and found a pamphlet created by a city government in Virginia that made the same claim, only to discover the first source linked in their bibliography. Another website (a botanical garden’s page) gave the same date with the same source hyperlinked. Of course, I have classes to attend and things to do and probably not enough time to follow the lines back to where this 1727 date came from, but if I had not just watched this video, I wouldn’t have given that date a second thought.

Of course, it doesn’t matter in the long run exactly what year hedera helix was introduced to the Americas, but it makes you wonder how many facts have been so vaguely attributed that it becomes completely impossible to figure out where they originated (and further, whether or not they’re true at all).
