Back to the Counselors & Taylor Swift

Let's discuss exactly how much a Swiftie each of them is

(Just for the record, one of the first things I did after watching the game was make a TikTok about how unrealistic it is that the game takes place in the summer of 2021 and yet not a single one of them makes a joke about "not dying before hearing the 10 minute version of All Too Well" and I STAND BY THAT)

But anyway, I think the certified Swifties of the group would be Kaitlyn, Dylan, and Emma. Kaitlyn and Dylan based on vibes and Emma based on the fact we share a name and have almost nothing else in common, so she's a Swiftie because I say so.

Dylan's the longest serving Swiftie. I think he's pretty much always been a music boy, and when he first heard You Belong With Me at like age 8 he was going through his first kiddie crush on a boy in his class, and just went "This lady gets it. She has my undying devotion."

Kaitlyn's been one since 1989 (age 14) because she doesn't do country music. Even as a tween she was very firm on that stance. (She eventually made an exception for Taylor but it took like a year of obsession with 1989 for her to go "alright what else has she got")

Emma's actually a post-Reputation Swiftie. Like completely missed the drama of 2016 and just caught the LWYMMD music video at the VMAs when it premiered and went "OK slay?" and advanced from there. (She's sad to have missed the OG Red era but THRIVES in the Red TV era if she lives to see it)

None of the others would call themselves Swifties, but in order from closest to farthest from it:

Max is honestly pretty close to being a Swiftie. Like he had Ariana Grande playing in his car at the start of the game, he feels no shame whatsoever in listening to pop music. His favorite album is Lover, because duh.

Laura listens to Taylor almost as much as Max does, but he usually initiates it. She doesn't have a favorite album, but her favorite song is Blank Space.

Jacob doesn't listen much but he could name most of the singles. He's definitely made a TikTok to a Love Story remix.

Abi does not give Swiftie vibes at all, I'm sorry to say. Post-game Emma might convert her, though.

Ryan, my sweet boy. I love him so much and it is with a heavy heart that I say he does not listen to Taylor Swift. NOT in a toxic masculinity way, he just doesn't vibe with pop music. On the other hand... Sarah is a baby Swiftie. She's played music where he can hear it enough that he can actually name some songs and say his favorite is My Tears Ricochet. (Also he has a soft spot for Shake It Off after Dylan played it for the kids at camp a bunch of times) (Also also post-game Sarah does a midnight listen to Red TV and Ryan hears his middle school age sister sobbing across the hall to ATWTMVTVFTV and has to interrupt like "Who hurt you?? Should I be worried???") (Also also also when Midnights comes out and Sarah or Dylan plays it for him, Would've, Could've, Should've makes him cry and he doesn't know why)

WIPs from June 27th and March 12th, 2023 I'm in one of those mind states where it takes me literal hours to make myself upload my WIPs, even though that's the entire point of this side blog :') Not that I dislike these, rather I received some bad (but unrelated) news today/yesterday and that always ramps up my insomnia. I'm up WAY too late again and my mood has been awful all day, so this was inevitable

It's been a while since I uploaded a completely new design for Starglass Zodiac (as in a completely new character rather than just a redesign of an already made one) and I'm not entirely sure why. Like the last one was over a year ago??? I still have way more to do so I'm not sure why I stopped for a while, even when I was still doing art for this project rather than switching to another. I have a massive folder of WIPs still so maybe I got decision paralysis or something, idk. These are far from done but I did come up with some cool new scenes with them so that's neat!

The less specific or more basic constellations are usually the most fun but also the most challenging to tackle, because it can be hard to make the concepts interesting if there's no pre-existing mythology associated with them, which is the case for both of these and many others. A lot of the constellations, even among the official 88 modern ones, boil down to an astronomer somewhere being like "put a [thing] in the sky" without anymore specificity or reason. Custos Messium is a defunct constellation to boot, but the idea of a "harvest keeper" gives me a lot of cool visuals to work with at least. I'm particularly proud of their sickle and scythe arms that form a C and M, respectively. Plus with the defunct constellations I get to design their symbols :D Not super happy with the bodies for either of these yet, but I like their heads so that's a good start. Horologium is inspired by those awesome looking astral clock towers with multiple faces, but with that in mind I want to make its body more tower-like. In the story, it's the constellation of the clock that was given artificial life after being lost and corrupted by void magic, so I want it to look like the pieces of the tower itself got transformed into this hulking beast over time. Overall I just want to have more non-sapient creatures inhabiting this world for variety's sake and to create bigger threats for the cast as stuff ramps up in later chapters. Defeating Horologium in particular is going to be quite the feat, but I am excited to finish writing/drawing that part of the comic at least!

THE MOONLIGHT SHONE through the cracks of the van max borrowed from his mother, four young adults sat on the cushioned seats of it. all met from college classes, turned to study group, made into close friends. laura sat in the back with a veterinarian technician textbook in her sleep, whilst the purple haired woman, valerie, on her right side with her eyes closed, head bobbing softly to the soft music coming from her vintage ipod thrumming in her hand.

“okay, but seriously, max.. you shouldn’t be so stubborn and listen to me about directions.” a dark haired brunette cooed towards max, her hand holding onto max’s free hand, rubbing delicate circles on top his soft knuckles. max was noticeably anxious, driving into circles for what feels like eternity.

“sammie, hun, i tried. you told me two signs ago that we should go left… we are at the same sign.” he sighs, glancing towards his lover with adoration and agitation. they all decided to volunteer at a children’s summer camp over the season, to allow themselves “peace and tranquility” through the upcoming hardships they will have to encounter at university. it was also a farewell vacation for max and sammie, since they were moving universities to study abroad, or so what sammie said. max didn’t seem too keen on the plan, moving away from his childhood bestfriend, laura. sammie reasoned they will return to visit soon, since she would also be leaving her bestfriend, valerie.

valerie understood though, shes always supported samantha through everything. if you were a stranger to them, you would think they’re dating, but its quite the opposite. sammie and val always were like two peas in a pod, her mother being the sister to val’s, causing them to be close from the get-go.

they met max and laura in middle school, after sammie talked max’s ear off in aquatic science that she adored sharks, she introduced max to val, who then introduced laura to the bestfriends.

“i—ouch!-” val yelped when laura kicked her in a sleepy haze, causing val to lightly kick the girl in retort. the blonde stirred awake, eyebrows furrowed as she glares at val, in which she shrugs, kicking the blondes feet down from the seat to make more room for herself.

“whatever, whats going on guys? do you need a map, max?” she yawned out, stretching as much as she could in the confined car. she looked around the area to find the map, causing max’s attention to deviate to the movement.

sammie turned back to address max about what an offline book just experienced, before realizing he wasn’t paying attention. “max! road!” she groaned, lightly tapping his head as to signal it to turn.

he mutters a sorry, quickly turning to the road but sees a…. he doesn’t know exactly what he sees, but it’s big and most importantly, in their path. sammie’s eyes widen in realization as time feels to freeze, her hands flying to swerve the car to keep them from running over whatever that was.

the sudden movements pick up the attention of the two other women. the car thrashed wildly as you can hear sammie panicking while max tries to maintain the cars balance.

“ohmygodohmygodohmygod-” sammie rambled, one hand holding onto max’s shirt tightly, his once free hand now on the wheel to offer extra support, and the other hand holding the grab handles at the top of the car.

after what feels like forever for them, but in reality was 20 seconds, the tires screech to a pit stop. the only sound made was the panicked breathing of the group, eyes wide as saucers staring at each other.

“can somebody tell me what the fuck just happened?”

ROYGBIV TAG GAME

Thanks @duckingwriting here and @pluppsauthor here for the tag!

Rules: find excerpts in your WIP with the colors of the rainbow listed

Alrighty this is my third time doing this. Let's see if I find anything new.

Red - from The Secret Portal Part One (Robbie POV)

Akash’s eyes grew wide. “Dude, you’re, like, glowing.” He was right. My arm that held him was glowing that reddish color I saw in the hallway. What is this shade of red called? Scarlet? I didn’t know.

Orange - from The Secret Portal Part One (Gwen POV)

George shrugged. “Yeah, we should have enough materials. I’ll run out if I have to, though.” In a streak of orange, he suddenly disappeared.

Yellow - from The Secret Portal Part Two (Maddie POV)

“Hope I never have to again. Now,” Kelsey stood, “you need to get dressed.” Kelsey reached to the pile of clothes that was next to her and tossed a yellow sweater to me. “Fine, fine, I’m coming!”

Green - from The Secret Portal Part One (Lexi POV)

Noelle sighed. “Alright.” She began to mess with one of the white laces of the olive green shoes she always wore. “I believe you.”

Blue - from The Secret Portal Part One (Robbie POV)

Jason stood up straighter, still groaning and rubbing his jaw. His steely blue eyes locked on me, his face morphing from pain to a look that could kill. Despite that and the fact that it felt like my hand had burst into flames, I didn’t regret the action. Yeah, I shouldn’t have done it, but who gave a shit? I may not have been a hero, but justice was justice.

Indigo - from The Secret Portal Part One (Lexi POV)

Custos’ tail was about three feet long, and when he sat back on his hind legs, not that different from a cat, he wrapped it in front of his feet. He blinked his big dark eyes and cocked his head, which was covered in indigo spikes.

Violet - from The Secret Portal Part One (Lexi POV)

“By the way, are you okay?” “Hm? Yeah, I’m good, just a headache,” said Ash. “Took medication this morning and” — she lifted up her violet thermos covered with stickers for music, Lord of the Rings, robots, and other assorted symbols and set it on her desk — “I’m staying hydrated.”

This was fun. A lot of these are new additions!

You have no idea how relieved I was to find this - thought I'd have to break out my Warriors Cats fanfic

From The Secret Portal Part One (Gwen POV)

A shadow passed from overhead, and I gasped as a light-blue dragon landed on the ground in front of the house, its eyes on Dr. Moon and Dr. Asghar, “Custos!” Carla scolded. “They’re with us!” But Custos kept approaching the doctors. I sucked in a breath as he leaned toward Dr. Asghar. The dragon sat in front of her. Dr. Asghar held out a hand, brushing it on the top of his head. “Hey, boy. Remember me?” Custos growled contently, almost purring. He shook his tail and flew off again. I followed him through the sky over the neighborhood as he rested atop a sign in the shape of a sun that had the town’s name, Taabe, shimmering a holographic blue. Beneath were rules for flying overhead and a speed limit for, I assumed, speedsters.
