the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Hey now, Let her cook!

[dopscratch]

i feel called out

(travis, one of my most beloved ocs)

idk the contrast between the characters people normally latch onto and the ones i do is so funny to me

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

they hated him for his low-empathy autism swag

[dopscratch]

i think i have the inverse of this

(remmy)

(void)

(travis)

(steven)

(red (bonus round))

(as a note, a greater amount of my ocs are bald or nearly bald than haired anyway as you can see on my toyhouse HAHA)

process of drawing an OC: - you design them - you get attached to them - their hair gets bigger without you realizing it

people who go through the main tags of big and tumultuous fandoms looking for new fresh good posts to reblog are essential to any circle. they’re like true hunter gatherers leaving the safety of settlement and braving the unknown wilderness to find food for the flock. they risk their lives every day and will come back with a few scratches at best and severe psychological damage at worst

[cutter-kirby]

obligatory “cool characterization, still murder” like I’m not excusing him but it does make him incredibly interesting

(*girl gender neutral edition)

I ❤️ self-loathing characters, characters who struggle with monstrosity (either fearing or embracing it), characters who are so lonely, who have a gaping hole in their chest, who bottle up & repress their feelings, who claw their way up & have ambitions, who fall down & lose everything, who search for identity & purpose yet can’t see themselves outside of what others want from or expect of them, who are hurt & hurt others, who long & grieve, who lie & pretend. characters who are messy & flawed & human

"yo what if we made two body horror freaks into best friends"

"yeah and what if one is deeply Messed Up and a Terrible Person and the other just wants to ignore it because hes one of the only people who's treated them okay as it is"

-

"what if we made murder cryptid guy into a Father Figure"

"yeah he'd be terrible but it would still be so much better than the previous parental unit that its actually sad"

-

"hey what if we took my funny explosions guy and gave him Traumatic Experiences and Interpersonal Issues"

"absolutely i will take an oc i had plans for and integrate her into this chaos immediately"

You will not use AI to get ideas for your story. You will lie on the floor and have wretched visions like god intended

why was bashir a closeted homosexual in the 23rd century? like dude it's fine you can relax. actually wait the tense here is kinda funny. i used past tense because ds9 is from the 90s and i watched it in 2021 so in both cases it's from the past in my view. but when talking about a text you speak in the present: why IS bashir a closeted homosexual in the 23rd century? but the statement is half about how ds9 takes place in the scifi future: why WILL bashir be a closeted homosexual in the 23rd century?
