Six Somethings Sunday!

Hello friends. I am couch-ridden with a sprained ankle. Do you know what that means?

It means I can't busy myself running around all day and forget/run out of time to do a post! So thank you to @monbons and @blackberrysummerblog for the tags!

I've posted a few times about Fettuccine and Foreplay and it's quite short, so I'm done teasing that one (it's in beta!). Instead, I'll share from my Wednesday x Carry On crossover fic. I don't think I've ever actually publicly made the connection that this fic is also the one with the Deaf OC, so, surprise!

Delilah is Penny and Shepard's daughter. I wasn't sure at first whether this would take place at the same time that Wednesday & co are at the school, or if it would just take place at Nevermore Academy some other time, but I can't have Thing and Delilah not meet and get into shenanigans together!

I also really want Simon and Baz's daughter to go, too, and I very much want that daughter to be Tori from our Heartstopper crossover, but Heartstopper x CO x Wednesday just feels like too much... so she may just be a very Tori-coded character...

Anyway, here are six bullets points (and some sub-bullets for bonus) from my planning doc:

Delilah notices Thing signing with Wednesday and Enid, them responding to him

he points at Delilah – Wed doesn't look, Enid waves

Thing taps and points again, Wed and Enid approach

Say Thing noticed Delilah signing earlier and wanted to meet; Delilah fascinated and so fucking excited

Thing, Delilah, and Enid set up date to hang out and learn from each other

Delilah: can we invite my dad? He would be so excited to meet you.

still won't know ASL, but what does that matter when the people at school who do understand sign know it from Thing, who has his own language? More opportunity to communicate regardless?

Enid gives them the scoop on everyone – first lead of who to talk to about alt magic??

Not to bully my #1 blorbo or anything ...

BUT HOLY FUCK TATTOOINE WAS NOT KIND TO HIM!!!!!!

You really expect me to believe that these are supposed to be taken ONLY TEN FUCKING YEARS APART FROM EACH OTHER????!!!!!

This? Sure. I will concede. Tattooine is a desert planet with two fucking suns. It makes sense that he'd look a bit rough/aged.

Combined with all the, you know ... stress. Yeah, okay. Sure. Yes. I totally believe that this looks like Obi-Wan aged 10 years. All things considered, I'd say he's doing pretty okay. Sure, he could use a little more moisturizer and maybe some extra lotion on the day to day.

But overall, I'd say he looks like a decent, weathered 40 yr old man.

(Yes, I'm aware the Kenobi show came out 13 years after ROTS and this obviously helps in Ewan McGregor looking, well, 13 years older. But you get my point).

BUT THIS SHIT!!!!! ARE YOU FUCKING WITH ME??????

This is supposed to just be 20 FUCKING YEARS APART?????!!!!! WHAT? DID OBI-WAN JUST GIVE UP ON USING ANY OUNCE OF SPACE FANTASY SUNSCREEN?????!!!!

FUCK ME.

How the fuck do you go from looking like a refined 30 yr old man to an 60+ YEAR OLD MAN in the span of 20 YEARS?????!!!!!

HE SHOULD HAVE HAD AT LEAST AN EXTRA TEN YEARS OF LIFE TO HIM!!!!!! WTF, OBI-WAN???!!!!!

Anyway, my new headcanon is that Obi-Wan just got lazy after rescuing baby Leia, and just kept forgetting to use his morning morning moisturizer and fucking sunscreen.

No wonder this man needs Cody around. Motherfucker let himself accelerate his age by an early 20 yrs. Wtf.

It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.

Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real

There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations

Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that

The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.

There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)

The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.

Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.

Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.

Ignoring the real possibility he intentionally let himself be caught from the little we know so far Luigi Mangione's case is a fascinating combination of astonishing brilliance and confusing stupidity. This young man plans and executes his assassination and escape with such a meticulous care and calmness that it's suspected that he's a professional hitman. He comes up with Riddler-sque moves like writing his manifesto poetically on the bullets and leaving his backpack behind full of Monopoly money. He carefully wears a mask to avoid being identified but removes it because a woman who was checking him into the hostel was flirting with him and wanted to see his smile. He still manages to escape the most surveilled city in the country in the midst of ongoing national manhunt only to get caught in the middle of bumfuck nowhere Pennsylvania while eating at the McDonalds. Because for some reason he had the same clothes and mask as in New York and was carrying the same gun and suppressor. And when the cops detained him he showed them the same fake id he used in New York. And oh yeah he's a frat bro gym rat who has a masters degree in computer science from Penn but reads stupid self-help books about being on the grind and is 'anti-woke' while being bisexual suffering from anxiety and wanting to end oppressive capitalism. Not even god himself could invent a person like this

Overview of some topics when it comes to drawing characters who are burn survivors.

DISCLAIMER. Please keep in mind that this is an introductory overview for drawing some burn scars and has a lot of generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. I'm calling this introductory because I hope to get people to actually do their own research before drawing disabled & visibly different characters rather than just making stuff up. Think of it as a starting point and take it with a grain of salt (especially if you have a very different art style from mine).

Talking about research and learning... don't make your burn survivor characters evil. Burn survivors are normal people and don't deserve to be constantly portrayed in such a way.

Consider supporting me on ko-fi if you find this to be helpful.

edit: apparently tum "queerest place on the internet" blr hates disabled people so much that this post got automatically filtered. cool!

second way more important edit: How are people seeing this post where I specifically talk about burn survivors being normal, real people, and still tag this as "TW body horror"? Not a single one of these drawings or pictures is a fresh injury. All of them are healed. How the hell would you feel if someone tagged a photo of you as "trigger warning: gore"?

Disabled people are not your fucking body horror. Grow up.

Ignoring all the equaling real life with fiction... Did that anon just say having sex with a child is okay because it's part of "Japanese culture"?????!?! Wtf?????

By this point I'm not even sure what anon meant to say anymore 😅 it just... made no sense at all

[mediocre-megs]

honestly more media should portray the anti aging industry as horrific and decidedly unhuman. it IS body horror it IS grotesque it DOES go against nature*. it WILL kill you. yes.

*this is NOT anti-hrt or anti-vax or anything of the sort. i love criticisms of the anti aging industry + sci-fi/horror. i also love trans people and vaccines and medicine and science. i also don’t care if you personally have botox. this was a shitpost i made while high and 2/3 of the way through the substance (2024). terfs dni. cheers.

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

we need more divorcebaiting. how strongly can canon imply (without technically outright stating) that these two characters are bitterly, acrimoniously divorced? essential we explore this
