I’m sorry I have to rant here’s my falsettos rant (and this is not towards anybody, I’m not trying to be rude, this is just my opinion/observation)

I don’t like it when people sweep under the rug the AIDS portion of the show.

By that I mean mostly the jokes about it (“the show ends at what more can I say guys!! That’s the end!!”, “haha (insert Whizzer aids joke)”, “what do you mean Whizzer dies, they all live happily ever after and Marvin and Whizzer grow old together”)

And I won’t lie, I did it. I just recently got into the show and I did make those jokes- on one of my fics I got told to take down a Whizzer aids joke tag and I did, and it made me reflect on it

Because AIDS isn’t just a thing that the show made up- it isn’t just a “let’s kill Whizzer for shock factor” moment- it’s a real thing that real gay people had to go through for years. It’s a real tragedy. And I feel like when we joke about this kind of thing, we just make it worse for ourselves. It means something in this musical, and real life. It’s real and awful.

And I don’t wanna be the fun police obviously, I just want some people in this fandom to realize this aspect of the show.

little sketch dump, anyone? Featuring.....top gun (mav x4, ice, hangman and bob). also one jack harper but he looks a lot like mav so eh

a few of my friends know this but I've been struggling lately with posting my art. this sketch dump is the first part of what I'm calling my "campaign to break my unhealthy attachment to public reception of things I post". this blog is first and foremost a diary of interests and my growth as an artist, in whatever form that takes. I'm really grateful to all of you following me and I'm glad if anything I post can ever bring joy or inspire you! lets keep trucking on together, yeah? <3

So I started my podcast finally after putting it off for a few days. I have three episodes up where I went into more detail about the small rambles I went on about porn addiction and the value of art!

I know things suck and are scary right now but do not give in to your fears. Do not hurt yourself. Do not become complacent. That is what they want. The only thing we can do is to keep living and keeping fighting for change. We can get through this. We just have to keep going

A Couple of Interesting Things!!!

Okay, I know I like conglomerating different shit into one post, but PLEASE READ!

If you like Stardew Valley or any other similar farming/slice of life kind of sim, AND you like fantasy RPG, please please go check out Sun Haven! I spent the last two hours playing it on stream and I am absolutely in LOVE with it! It's currently on sale on Steam, and the developer plans to continue updating it which is awesome because it's a great game!!! You can adjust the day cycle length (15-45 minute length iirc, I like the 30 minute one!), how much you can do in a day is dependent on the time left in the day NOT energy, there's different races that come with boosts, and plenty of romance options!!! (And I love most of the ones I've met thus far!)

100% highly recommend Sun Haven!!!

Outside of that, I also wanted to talk about some IF stuff! Now, I know we all sometimes feel like we have to only go for our ROs in optional scenes, but I promise, you don't have to!!! You can STILL start a romance with people in Mind Games and have scenes with others to build your friendship! You do need to have a few with the RO, to express interest, but you don't have to drive home only their scenes. I actually don't think I'll have romance lock-ins until B2, EXCEPT with Blake, and potentially Fawn, given I know I will at least have the option to express your interest in Blake at the end of B1... and if you kept in touch in B2, afterwards. Honestly, maybe that'll be a form of a lock-in in B2; if you kept in touch with the RO. (With other lock-in points available later, for MCs who aren't as willing to trust so readily, of course!)

I also DO plan to make walk-throughs. I know I have a headache getting specific routes or scenes when I play IFs, and truthfully, I enjoy making them! And it's kind of an accessibility thing, y'know? I'm not saying anything bad about other authors, either!!! I just want to provide something like that, personally, as I have ALWAYS planned to add walkthroughs.

okay, that's all!

Hello. I have some good news and bad news.

I know I haven't been very active in general but I may become more inactive for the next few days. As I am dealing with a lot very suddenly. First of all, I got a new job. So as you can imagine that's going to be a bit busy and hectic as I learn everything. Secondly, my cat, Pixie, died today. She was only 9. I won't go into too many details, but basically, she got very sick and her heart was struggling to keep her alive. It turned out she had likely be born with a condition which hadn't been caught till now, and only had been due to her falling sick on top of it. She had already begun the stages of passing away when we rushed her in, and the vet informed us that there was no treatment that could save her. So we made the very hard decision to let her pass peacefully. As not doing so meant that she would only continue to pass painfully.

The vet was very kind. They all did their best to make her comfortable. They were the only vet who was willing to take a look at her when we called today, as even our regular vet and all the emergency vets had turned us away.

Pixie was very much my cat. I had her since I was 15 and she was 6 months old. She lived for only 9 years. She loved to cuddle with me. She would greet me when I came home everyday, and would follow me around in the house. She was a grey tortoiseshell and lived up to the "tortitude" expectations. She was sassy, strong willed, and feisty but still immensely affectionate and sweet in everyway. I know we are not to pick favourites out of our pets, but I would be lying if I said she wasn't mine, just as I was her favourite human she was my favourite cat.

So yes, over the next little bit, my already inactive behaviour is likely to grow even more inactive.

So hlvrai2. Here’s my thoughts

Honestly I do think it’s a bit funny- we totally got bait and switched, and knowing RTVS this doesn’t surprise me.

I did have to stop watching. It did get a bit triggering bc of the cancer stuff. I didn’t quit because it wasn’t hl though.

You’re allowed to feel bad that you got conned, and that you were looking forward to it and don’t feel like you got it- but don’t fuckin harass RTVS, or spam their chat, or beg for Gordon to wake up (got triggering there too bc people kept saying unreality things in chat)- it’s a funny half life show it’s not that serious.

We’re probably gonna get a bit clowned on, I just hope mostly that we’re still allowed to continue on our merry old man yaoi way lol

I’ll probably watch the edited version!! I’m just not good at focusing on streams lol

Anyways I just wanted to share my thoughts- even though I’m not big in the fandom I still wanted to share

[doodledraw]

yall dont mind if I eventually start posting oc content on my blog right.....you'd support me even so right....

am I insane or does everyone else randomly go on deep dives to find childhood picture books that they only remember one thing from

Friendly reminders this election night 

think positive. Worrying about the worst case scenario won’t help so try to avoid it, though I know it’s hard. Don’t let the negativity win, that’s what they want.

Staying up worrying about the live results won’t help. Thanks to mail in ballots many votes aren’t counted until after polls close, so don’t ruin your sleep schedule watching it. Thanks to the high number of early votes/mail in ballots/ absentee ballots, official results likely won’t be in until tomorrow morning anyways. 

Don’t forget about the red mirage. Which is the early influx of states going red right after polls close. This is due to the laws around mail in ballots, meaning they don’t get counted until later. And even when those votes are counted less populated and more red leaning areas are counted much quicker than blue more densely populated areas (the population color thing is just a common trend and not a sure thing of course) this is how Biden won in 2020

Also don’t forget about the silent majority which are voters not counted in previous polls or who don’t express who they  are voting for. This is how Trump won in 2016, he mobilized voters who did not previously plan to vote, making them a silent majority. This was also a result of the common belief that Clinton was an assured winner making Trump voters unwilling to vocalize their beliefs. Now though Trumps bigots are louder than ever, leading to a new silent majority, people who can’t safely express their blue vote, such as people in red states who would be in danger if too vocal (that’s me!) or the spouses that Harris’s campaign have been doing outreach too! 

I cannot stress this enough think positive and stay safe
