#but that’s a different story

[iridiss]

hello it’s 3 in the morning as I type this but. one of the reasons why aphmau is meant to be the protagonist of MCD/Mystreet/so on and so forth is because literally none of this would happen without her. and that’s a core tenant of her character!! She finds people, she pulls them to her from wherever they are in the universe, they are naturally magnetized to her. She brings them into her life, again and again, and resolves their problems, again and again. She’s like the universe’s little handyman. She is a people magnet, on a cosmic level. She collects people. in a friendship way. And it doesn’t even matter how far away you are from her, she pulls people to her from far and wide, even across dimensions and universes!! Across continents and different towns !! She just… brings people to her! Universally! It’s a whole entire thing!

She discovers more and more new people, and every time she provides exactly the solution they needed to fix their problems. She fixes their problems. And that’s literally how the story of MCD and Mystreet even happens. The entirety of diaries wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for her, BECAUSE of her magnetism. Because of her active altruism.

She then provides a home for each of these people, resolving their issues and helping them out. She’s kind, she’s altruistic, she’s like…made to help people. Cosmically. she leaves the door open for anyone to come in and make themselves at home, she picks up strays everywhere she goes and gives them a better home. That’s literally how she becomes a mother, she collects children like stray cats because she never stops finding people and pulling them into the light. Pushing them to their fullest potential. Making them feel loved. She just has so much love to give that she pulls the whole entire world into her heart

And it even has in-universe reasoning to back it up, with her being the reincarnation of Irene!!! Because Irene literally did the same thing, that’s what an Irene is SUPPOSED to DO. She pulls the whole world to her doorstep and finds every single problem there is to fix and she fixes it! Because that’s her purpose! That’s her divine purpose! That’s her job! To help everyone! Her people magnetism is literally a crucial aspect of being an Irene !!

And I think MID’s Ava has it too, because of that. She’s likely the next reincarnation in line after the many Aphmaus, she’s the next Irene, so she inherited that crucial and fundamental part of being an Irene. Only difference is, Ava does not actually want this. She hates it, actually. She keeps magnetizing people to her, she magnetizes friends- she LITERALLY has a universal pull strong enough that beings from alternate dimensions or planets or whatever the fuck it was are sent to Earth and meet her. Billions of people on the planet, and the Daemos boys go to her. Of all people. Because they’re pulled into her, the same way Aphmau’s gang was. The same way Laurance and Katelyn and Dante and Travis and Aaron were. Ava has the same damn “ability,” but this time she’s spiteful about it because she just wants everyone to leave her alone and honey it is NOT working. The universe is so determined to give her a friend that it literally drops five dogs into her apartment and tells her to Fix. and she does not want to. but destiny calls, and she does it anyway, because she’s an Irene, and that’s what Irenes do. do you see my vision

So we know that Jamie comes to AFC Richmond on loan from Man City, right? but like… what’s the story behind that?

We know Richmond needed him bc Dani was hurt, but was he getting minutes at Man City before he left?

ALSO. Where was he playing before he went to Man City? Was he, like… a rec league kid? Man City academy? Man United academy???

Did Jamie Tartt end up at Richmond bc Man City didn’t think he was good enough?

oh i uh meant like in the bat(? im new around here) au sorry i shouldve clarified :] good to know anyway !! all of your art is very cute …. i love the little guys and you draw them well..

thanks! i haven’t drawn them in the bat au yet

they weren’t included in the ‘family’ picture cause the anon requested bruce and his kids and i’ve been told duke and steph aren’t his kids and they shouldn’t be considered so???

im also not entirely sure what their deal is tbh, i don’t read most thing that aren’t strictly batman, superman, or ghost-maker appearances. if i’ve ever stumbled in to any duke centric comics, it’s been to look for ra’s al ghul appearances to document

i only read/look for my current favs or fixations in books. i know it’s limiting but i also aren’t really interested in knowing everything about everyone, that takes so much time i don’t have these days😅

yeah so funny story

Currently in the process of reading Catastrophe manga and I really like it! Something that bothers me a lot though is how the female characters are treated…they get stripped down to their lingerie at best, stark naked at worst.😒 And not to mention the horrific scenes of attempted rape.😖 It’s all so unnecessary and adds nothing to the story.😢 The past few days…it got me thinking about fanfiction based on this manga where the story is mostly the same but what if Guren, Sayuri, and Shigure all came from civilian backgrounds instead? What would it be like if Sayuri and Shigure weren’t attendants for Guren but simply his friends he met in high school? I’m also thinking about this from the perspective that, Sayuri, Shigure, and Mito aren’t in love with him but have solid identities outside of Guren. I’m trying to imagine and write about that. Would anyone be interested in reading such a story?

A lot of the time in Armenian traditional cloths, sharvals are tragically ignored. Men and women widely wore them especially in western Armenia. Also lighter fabrics should def be represented, silk, veils etc. we wore all the same clothes Kurds and Turks wore and I think it makes a lot of Armenians uncomfortable. Embrace it. Make it a look. Make it Armenian.

more recently in mildly unhinged: the cecil story, I was at a two day seminar with all my coworkers at my brand new job and for entertainment someone had made an ‘early 2000s quiz’, featuring the question ‘which year did lordi win the eurovision song contest?’ I answered that it was around 2005 and my teammates (one of whom was my new boss) were like, sure that sounds about right. only as we went back over our answers before turning them in, I literally put my hands to my temples like some kind of really low budget scandinavian bbc sherlock and went, ‘hang on, I’m not sure. let me do the math. lordi won in greece who won in the ukraine who won in turkey. before turkey there were two Baltic winners in a row - estonia and latvia, can’t remember the order though - which brings us back to 2000 which OF COURSE is the year that denmark won. so it must have been in 2006 and not 2005.’

as it turns out, I was right, and I may have sounded absolutely cuckoo bananas to my coworkers + boss (who have known me for less than a week) BUT we also won the quiz by ONE POINT so. I’d call that a win-win really

okay but eloise is rhaenyra, benedict is daemon (also both bi kings), penelope is her more marriage minded, less socially/politically powerful, more feminine homoerotic best friend (alicent), colin is viserys, the latter two of whom’s betrothal she feels betrayed by…

[ziggysgender]

okay but the THING about mr jean-pierre dorléac going into a blind rage over twitter babygirlifying al calavicci………

he was mutuals with everyone. all of gay quantum leap twitter. almost all of us. at the very least following us. we all post about al being gay on the regular and call out his queerness and the specific way he dresses. we’ve all tweeted it at least once. and he’s even said he finds it nice that we feel connected to his work! and he’s gay himself!

but man. oh man. poor charley comes along. charley shows up. charley is there for maybe a single week. chaos ensues. this man calls charley an asshole. this man tweets consecutively nonstop for 48 hours about how al is ABSOLUTELY NOT GAY!!!!!!!!1!! allison pregler steps in. goes “jean-pierre. stop this! this isn’t you!” this dude does not LISTEN

about a year ago i had changed shifts at work and soon noticed i was feeling like shit, i had no energy, i was scatterbrained and forgetful (more so than my adhd ass normally is, literally the days bled together and i was barely forming memories), i was depressed, and i had no idea what was going on besides the fact that i hated my very high-stress job and so guessed that i just wasn’t coping well

but then i developed a split in the skin at the corner of my mouth. it wasn’t dry skin, it wouldn’t go away no matter how much i moisturized, never bled but it was painful and refused to heal even a little bit for two weeks. did a little bit of research and determined that altogether i was experiencing symptoms of what is clinically called a “failure to thrive”

a little bit more digging led me to a chronic zinc deficiency. turned out that my schedule change led to me not eating enough (that place was hella abusive) and once i started taking supplements everything cleared up and i was back to normal in like 2-3 days

My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all my problems were caused by this one deficiency

"Who Is Superman? A Private Interview with Lois Lane" a fancomic about hope and connection. I've had this story in mind for so long and I'm very excited to be able to share it at last. Thank you for reading, and happy Lunar New Year!

I went on a bike ride today with three friends. It was a beautiful sunny day and spending it with them made me feel so content and at peace. This is what friendship is meant to be.

We get literally hundreds of people a day, so them probably.

What was that you said about memory? "A monster," was it?
