hi im just gonna put my thoughts on every clone high ship i can think of here

jfgogh - i think its cute. i can definitely see jfk like uplifting gogh and him falling in love over like the most basic display of kindness and jfk just being like “haha woah there guy i didnt mean it like that” but then he realises he Does

gogh x gandhi - LOTS of mixed feelings on this one but it is pretty interesting truth be told. like, the way gogh didnt just sit back and take what gandhi did to him and instead retaliated, i like that, i like the thought of two tiny guys having the most unnecessarily intense rivalry ever, but i know that isn’t really the way the ship is portrayed often rather than wholesome stuff . you interpret ships however you want though

gfk i think is the name for it - im so sorry as a gandhabe connoisseur i know how annoying it is when people say this about a ship that absolutely entraps you but i think jfk and gandhi are more accurate together as just silly friends who see eachother like once a month. jfk casually brings up a girl hes dating (or rather just having sex with frequently) and gandhi is like wait what happened to the other one? like hes very out of the loop but he listens and they both hype eachother up a lot

ceasgogh, gogh x christo, ceaser x christo, whether it’s any of those seperately or polyamory - i love this one so very much for literally no reason. maybe its like a nostalgia thing cuz i remember people talking about them sometimes in 2020 and being like Aw that’s cute but idk something about them feels so like. objectively correct. like yep that’s the little background trio standing together in an episode as they should be

abefk i think - i like it!! even though it’s barely known apart from jokingly i really like the classic 2000s rivalry between a nice boy and an asshole jock thing that was going on between them before ponce’s death, i admit i miss their interactions. i miss how theyd refer to eachother with their last names. also the part in season 2 episode 6 where they both were recalling memories of the grassy knoll and abe went “i used to get food thrown at me” and jfk continued “i used to be the one throwing that food”. i like them

joanabe - i know this one is like barely a ship but i still need to talk about them badly. their friendship is so important to me. the way its always been them whether it’s joan crushing on abe or the other way around, they’re just so special to eachother in any and every way, and both struggle with the choice of helping the other or doing things that hurt the other but ultimately raise their chances of getting together. tbh im so interested in whats gonna happen with them in the finale, and in the next seasons bc i doubt their back and forth crush thing is gonna last the ENTIRE show like itll be getting a new sort of premise or main character focus which im excited for

joanfk - some of the fanart is absolutely adorable COUGH COUGH ORT SMORT COUG but its just not for me man. biggest two factors as to why i dislike it being how it overtook the fandom, and how to me they just never had any substance. they have a fun dynamic and the season 1 finale was sweet but idk it just never affected me that much. also bc i always knew it was gonna crash and burn. like that is not a stable couple as cute as it is sometimes. like at all. and im happy episode 7 finally addressed it

abe x cleo - again, not really a fondly talked about ship, but they are pretty dear to me. it’s the way cleo was clearly playing with abe at the start but actually saw the charm in him and was actually upset when he finally digested his feelings for joan… i really hope they’re gonna be good friends in the future bc episode 7 seemed to be sort of a start for that friendship and them learning to be ok around eachother after the finale…

joan x cleo - ive always been scared to talk about this one bc some people see them as sisters, which i Really dont. they never acted in a sisterly way at all, and the living together thing lasted for like what. one episode. so i doubt it had any affect on how they view their relationship. but again absolutely fair if it makes you uncomfortable for this reason! but yeah i do like them. very very good trope and there can be some really cute stuff done with them dynamic wise

gandhabe my heart and soul my romeo and juliet my sun and moon my red and blue - AUGHGGGGG MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE. EVER. IN THE WHOLE SHOW FOR EVER they just have such sweet interactions and everything they do they do with the other in mind and i want them to have an emotional reunion in the season 3 finale sO SHRGFRHRVRRRRR RR RBR R R R. RR R. sorry this is mostly incoherent screaming rather than actual words I just DUCIGJGN LVOE GANDHABEEEEE EEYEHEEE THEYRE END GAME!! THEY ARE END GAME WHETHER ITS AS FRIENDS OR ROMANTICALLY RHEY ARE THE ONES

ok now onto the ones involving the new gen clones

harriucius - i like them its the second het ship in the show ive ever actually liked!! they just both go so well in so many ways, they both have almost the exact same struggles and cope in similar ways, but harriet has more of a hands on attitude with her problems, while confucius tends to avoid things. im VERY interested in how their relationship will go and i dont really think anything’s gonna happen to them bc i cant picture the show pairing either of them up with anyone else (mostly confucius tbh 😭)

joanharriet - i WISH this one was more acknowledged by the fandom like i think its the least popular one at least involving the newbies.. can you tell im a sucker for ships that are literally just two close friends who love eachother more than anything. lol. when i think of them i think of episode 5 which makes me extremely happy. like look me in the eyes and tell me that was not an absolutely beautiful wonderfully wrapped episode

johnfucius - gonna be honest i dont like this one. i know this is a really rich thing to say while talking about clone high season 2 but it just felt rushed, and especially with how they barely did anything after sleepover. like they were literally crying both of them being like OMG I FINALLY HAVE A FRIEND!! and then they proceed to have the most stale interactions with the most notable one being in the next episode and it’s literally just confucius encouraging jfk to avoid his problems like he does. not really good. but again if you enjoy them all the power to you, im happy you found something you like that hasn’t been ruined and seems pretty docile and chill compared to all the other ones :o) it’s very much a mostly fandom based ship

kahlopatra - BEAUTIFUL. BEAUTIFUL. I HAVE NO WORDS JUST BEAUTIFUL. there definitely was a lack of suspense like based off the intro and the slight buildup throughout the series BUT that literally doesn’t matter. out of every canon couple they are the absolute cutest im obsessed with the effect they have on eachother. especially on cleos side of things like ahhh!!!! she found someone she actually connects to genuinely!!!! i am so happy for her!!!!!!

tophucius - not much about this one its just pretty fun and silly . i feel bad for the people who thought something big was gonna be going on w them but the small details peppered in about them in sleepover were nice. i always liked how when confucius saw that topher typed your instead of you’re, he went “i thought so” like to me that confirms they do this all the time and they know it’s them. also really funny to imagine them being sworn enemies online but when they actually see eachother in school theyre Like oh shit hey man what’s up! hope youre well! like not even through gritted teeth or anything they’re just so chill irl for no reason

abetoph - Sigh i sure did save this one for last. while im a lot less comfortable with it now i still love thinking of them pre episode 8 and i do think their relationship is just ever so slightly more interesting now with the added double crossing n shit added to it. but im also sad they’ll never be the way they were may 24th to june 14th again . that specific time period of them is so comforting to me for no reason, all the memes and running jokes in the fandom involving them, all the wholesome fan work of them sleeping in tophers bed, watching stuff on tophers computer together, abe being tophers voice of the reason and the one person he actually likes, it’s just so … man. We Could Have Had It All. i love them for ever.

thank you so much for listening

want you, cuckoo

guy-man/pedro drabble. 616 words

hints of darker mental health, but no other warnings

warm hands draped across guy man’s eyes, blacking out his vision. he huffed and rolled his eyes, a small, affectionate smile appearing on his face before he could control it. the person behind him leaned against his back, weight weirdly comforting. the hot breath brushed against his right ear. “hello guillaume,” pedro’s sing song voice brushed like velvet against his ear. it distracted him from the fact that no one really called him guillaume anymore. 

“hi pedro,” he stated simply. light flooded his vision once again, bright sun shining through the window just to his right. he squinted, barely catching pedro walking to sit at the opposite side of the table as his characteristic wide smile spread across his face. but there was something slightly wrong with his face, specifically some stupid facial hair he had grown when he was away in the states. 

“the fuck is going on with your face?” guy-man asked, before he could get his thoughts in order. before he realized how impossibly rude that question flying out of his mouth truly was.

jesus fucking christ was the only thought rattling around in his quickly darkening mind. 

pedro’s face fell quickly, his dazzling smile faltering to a line, as he moved to brush his hand across his face. guy-man just shut his eyes for a moment, before rubbing his temple. a growing ache from the night before bloomed behind his eyes, before he opened them and met pedro’s. 

“i’m sorry, wasn’t thinking properly. long night at the studio last night.” he apologized, and pedro nodded, an impersonal smile appearing on his face. he leaned forward, grabbing pedro’s hand in his before pressing a kiss to his knuckles. 

“your smile is beyond gorgeous, love… please, keep doing it.” he said into the other’s hand, voice quiet in the hustle and bustle of the café but with the slight pink in pedro’s face, he heard it very well. 

*** 

they had left the café at this point, pedro holding a steaming cup of coffee and passing it to guy-man at times. walking through a frosted park, they had ended up between trees. no one was else around, silence falling over them. there was an awkwardness within guy-man, the first burst of complete rudeness to pedro weighing heavily on his mind.

pedro wrapped an arm around his waist, pulling him in closer to press their chests together. guy-man couldn’t help but gasp, his mind so absolutely somewhere else that pedro couldn’t help but surprise him. the other had dropped the mug, before his hot hands brushed against his cheekbones and brought his face up, making them face each other. 

pedro’s gray-blue eyes were filled with an emotion he couldn’t place. “what did you mean when you said… that about my face?” pedro said, the lips of his mouth quirking upwards in an uncertain way. 

guy-man just couldn’t help but feel bad, the shame pouring down his spine like ice cold water.

“just your new beard. was… strange and new.” guy-man said, before brushing his thumb against the “offending” patch of beard, nestled right underneath pedro’s bottom lip. it followed along pedro’s chin, like a completely different patch of hair. heat flooded his face. 

it really had been a long time since he had seen pedro. 

pedro chuckled, shaking his head slightly. “yeah, i had that when i was younger.” he explained, while guy-man averted his eyes, scrunching his face together. “dude, you’re just… a person. shit happens.” pedro stated, his shoulders shrugging against guy-man. 

he couldn’t help but sigh, before leaning forward to kiss pedro hard. the other’s nose brushed against his cheek, the other’s lips a pleasant push against his. he really had missed this.

Another (un)fun fact about the US agriculture industry! The overwhelming majority of ag-related conferences I've been to have started with an explicitly Christian prayer. Just in case anyone was confused about the goal of US ag.

I did the 24hr Novel Challenge last year...

Last year, I did the 24 hr novel challenge over the course of 48 hours (so the novel was written in 24 hours but I did in 48 hours) and it went about as well as you'd expect:

Fine. I did fine.

I didn't exactly FINISH finish but I did complete a solid 0th draft and I wrote like 26 thousand words (16k the first day, 10k the second day). I learned two really big things from doing this:

The first thing I learned was I really method act when I'm writing -- like, in order to describe emotions, I really simulate them in my body. So simulating a whole rollercoaster ride of stress and love and sadness and terror and desire and despair was A LOT and I would get numb to things as the scenes went on.

The thing that restored me was watching snippets of things that inspired me -- the starts of shows, trailers, music, images, etc. These ended up being a sort of palette cleanser in-between scenes for me.

But when I'm not pushing myself, I learned I really need to just. Write when I'm feeling it. Because my writing is higher quality like that.

Secondly, I learned how fragile my hands were: I really destroyed my hands doing it -- something I didn't anticipate was how much I was going to need to stretch my hands and TO THIS DAY, my hands still get more sore than they ever did when I was younger. I'm getting old >_<

The Characters & Story

Heirs to the Tilted City was (to no one's surprise) a fantasy polticial drama about a city in the wake of a disaster that broke apart and almost fell into the Abyss. The Goddess who ruled the city sacrificed herself to protect it, leaving it behind to her baby Heiress, Shiel.

But while the Goddess made the celestial inhabitants of the gorgeous astral whimsigoth city, Shiel's descended from a line of Demons who migrated to the city after a disaster of with their own Goddess. Furthermore, she's so young. Many residents have mixed feelings about her taking control back from the City Chamber -- despite her being born, raised, and educated in the city...

Meanwhile, the former Chamberlain of the Goddess -- removed from power after trying to take power from Shiel when she was a baby -- has a son, Isegael. And in the dregs beneath the city, Isegael, too, has risen to power as his rivals mysteriously vanish. From the head of a crime syndicate to a legitimate local leader, Isegael now has his eyes set on the Chamber too.

And so begins a collision of ambitious young people trying to wrestle power from those who'd maintain a crumbling status quo. Will they overcome their past traumas to become the people the city needs? Or will the Old Guard let the city slide the rest of the way into the Abyss?

...I suck at writing copy. Don't make do it lol

Feel free to take a gander at the writing vlog too -- it's definitely one of my better ones!

So I hear there's this uhhh (squints) loathing campaign? I saw it in the papers ... (No one told me. Even though I'm a GM for it!........)

Anyway. Erm. Erm. Christos Terrie? The man in charge of the printshop in, uh, I guess it doesn't matter now, does it? Though he's still powerful. If you control the media, you control the world, no? --I JEST. To avoid any more dawdling, Christos is the moxie-ous 'villain' (though villain is such a strong word, we should avoid such branding in our reporting...) of the aforementioned Loathing Campaign. He's very accomplished, you know, though I've... uh, got nowt (we don't use such nonsensical words in our work!) --nothing more to say on that matter... Regardless...?

So ANYWAY fuck all of this we're going to end the antis plague in the years to come because ain't NO way I'll accept my refuge from reality (fandoms) being plagued by the same christo-fascists (antis) as the ones haunting me irl.

Ain't. No. Fucking. Way. Get out. Get out of here or learn to behave I don't care but we don't NEED your negativity, your censorship or your pearl-clutching.

And you! You right there stop being afraid of them! Just don't talk to them, block them, drop them if they're "your friends" no they ain't! No they absolutely are NOT if they'd tell you to kill yourself over some drawings. You don't have to fear being isolated, reach out to other proshippers, isolate THEM if anything. Seek help from others, escape the toxic cycle of fear and loathing, ENJOY FANDOMS AGAIN BE TIRED OF THEIR SHIT. REBEL! REBEL!!! POST THAT KINK! REBLOG THOSE SIBLINGS KISSING! WRITE THAT AGE GAP FIC! REBEL!!!!!

Midnight Pals: The Sower

Octavia Butler: Submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the parable of the sower Butler: the parable of the tale of the sower Butler: the tale of the sower Butler: boy that's really not working

Butler: for this story, i think it's time to look to the future Poe: the future? Butler: yes the far distant future Butler: of 2024

Butler: so in the future of 2024 Butler: a christo-fascist government comes to power over a crumbling America bedeviled by climate change and wealth disparity King: Poe: Koontz: Barker: Butler: now you may be asking Butler: how did she know? Poe: how DID you know?

Butler: an America falling apart, states are their own military dictatorships, police are corrupt King: that's crazy that you're so good at predicting America's future King: it's like you live in America or something!

Poe: for real, how are you doing this? Barker: eh i'm not impressed Baker: i feel like predicting the rise of a christo-fascist government in a crumbling America bedeviled by climate change and wealth disparity is pretty much a gimmie

Butler: ok fine Butler: but what if this christo-fascist government comes to power using the slogan "make American great again" Barker: Barker: ok yeah that's impressive Poe: how ARE you doing this??

Butler: simple Butler: i simply looked at the America of the present day Butler: and asked myself what would the future look like King: that's good! i gotta make a note of that King: anyone got a pen? King: these writing tips are gold!

King: that is seriously incredible King: some scary accurate predictions! King: why is everyone always talking about Margaret atwood's predictions? these are way better! Barker: yeah these leave Margaret atwood in the dust! Barker: like, there's no comparison! Margaret Atwood [under cardboard box, through vocoder]: beep boop :(

Margaret Atwood: [under cardboard box, through vocoder] beep boop i am predict-o-tron, the robot that predicts the future Barker: oh we're not interested in that anymore Margaret Barker: your predictions are all so obvious Margaret Atwood: [under cardboard box, through vocoder] beep boop :(

Barker: but go ahead Barker: give us one now Barker: if it makes you feel better Atwood: [under cardboard box, through vocoder] beep boop reproductive health will be threatened by conservatives Barker: oh damn wow Barker: you must have fuckin crystal ball to come up with that one! Poe: clive Barker: oh come on edgar we all saw that one coming

Butler: anyway this christofash government in a collapsing dystopian America only lasts one term Butler: then they vote him out Barker: wait, they still have elections in this collapsing dystopian America? Butler: oh yeah Butler: yeah i mean why not?

King: this is a real downer King: can we hear some future predictions that DON'T come true? Diane Duane: i have some stories about the utopian post-scarcity star trek future King: no i meant like King: bad things that don't come true King: not good ones :/

SO.

I'm waiting a fic (supernatural) and to get more in touch with my characters personalities I like to write little funny dialogs, like incorrect quotes. You know, just to get a feeling on how they would react to some words and some of this are so funny that I just HAVE TO share them.

So now you get supernatural incorrect quotes

(Putting y/n 'cause it's less confusing)

_____________

Y/n, randomly at 3 A.M.: would you love me enough to hunt me as a ghost?

Dean, just wanting to go back to sleep: I died like two times already and came back to you, I think you already know the answer

Y/n: Okay, but would you?

_____________

Y/n: So... did Jesus actually exist?

Cas: I cannot confirm nor deny this statement

Y/n: that sounds suspicious

Cas, looking terrified, memories coming to him: I'm not making this mistake again

_____________

Cas: So, have you always been religious or did you just start after knowing the whole thing?

Y/n: I'm...I'm still not religious?

Cas: But you tend to say "whoever's up there" when you're in trouble?

Y/n: Oh I just like to keep my options open. Until I was 20 I used to say "little bitch from hell"

_____________

Y/n: alright, take your waterguns and meet me at my car

Sam, confused: we don't have water guns?

Y/n: wha-? You don't have waterguns filled with holy water? How tf are you still alive?!

_____________

Y/n: why don't you just say Christo to know if it's a demon instead of going around wetting people?

Dean: OMG I forgot about that

_____________

Y/n: *hugging Dean tightly*

Dean: you're robbing me

Y/n: of your heart?

Dean: I can feel your hand grabbing my wallet

_____________

Y/n's sister meeting Dean for the first time: So, you're just this?

Dean: What do you mean "just this" I'm alive, it's more that you could ask for from me

_____________

Y/n: Oh yeah, did I not tell you I was searched for arson?

Sam: Wtf?! No you didn't!

Y/n: Oh. Well it's fine I look way different than when I was twelve

Dean: YOU WERE TWELVE?!

_____________

Dean: It's really not that bad, I mean, how many times have you died

Y/n and their brother: zero?!

Sam, looking at Dean: I mean, that's a normal amount

Y/n: There should not be a normal amount?!
