what if part of the reason ink is so forgetful is because forgetting things is an involuntary trauma response. not really saying its the sole reason for it, of course, but it could definitely be a contributor.

he experienced such an awful, horrible fate before he was even fully made, that it just

it just became easier to cope with life and his existence by forgetting.

he's practically immortal due to the nature of his design. he lives and breathes with existence itself, has witnessed and cherished lots of different people, stories, and worlds.

he's also lost a lot too.

and if you forget all of the bad things, then life becomes just that much easier. all of the friends he loses from aus being destroyed, all of the stories that never get finished, all of the pain of being forgotten himself.

if it's gone, if it's not there, then it can't hurt you.

but sometimes, your brain has trouble deeming what it wants to keep and what its willing to give up to protect itself.

even if those things are important.

Reading a fic that has me kicking my feet and then screaming into my pillow

Like how can it be this good and make me giggle like a freak, and then whiplash me and make me so so sad what the fuck

SIGHINGGGG

Hate this fic /conflicted (I don't even know if I'm happy with it or not, which inherently is a good thing since good stories make you feel every emotion haha)

I have acquired some delicious @barksbog meat. Delightfully huge monster. Everyone in the family has enjoyed giving him a pet, many compliments on how soft he is. I knew how big he was gonna be and yet I'm surprised every time I see him, big ol chonker.

Was told today that my scar-to-be looked very nice, very well stitched. Like, thanks??? I had no role in that except that I was present.

ANATOMY (2016)

[darkstalker1247]

They make me violently ill

I wrote a fic along these lines a few years back! Admittedly the Fenton parents think Phantom is 'just' possessing Danny, so they split them apart and destabilize/destroy Phantom to make sure he won't be a problem anymore. Without Phantom/the ectoplasm Danny starts to die because of the portal injuries. It's on AO3 right here, if you're interested.

I always see people make certain dp characters [ie: Danny's parents, val, giw] wanna get rid of phantom from danny like an exorcism

Even tho they're the same person right

But I always think of that ep where danny went through that ghost spliter, and you see Phantom and danny as two separate beings [this would've been so cool to explore btw]

Before they quickly went back lol

But what if the giw or someone actually succeeded in splitting them up. I wanna see the ramifications that would have.

Would Danny's "human form" slowly deteriorate from the injuries he sustained from the portal? Would it be instant or would it happen slowly.

Everyone thinks yay! No more halfa hes cured yippee 🕺until Danny looks more and more worn down, has phantom pains, can't sleep, nightmares, and slowly slowly his injuries start killing him and everyone starts noticing.

And then they realize danny can't live without phantom. That the people trying to save him from phantom inevitably ended up killing him again.

Also on the flip side how would this affect phantom like would he just fade away since his body technically isn't dead yet. Would he be caught up in some weird in-between 🤔

Many thoughts many thoughts

I'd also love to hear anyone else's thoughts on this

Do you ever think that like whenever Killer and Cross are lying in bed together, that Killer would reach out to Cross's chest and touch it-

And feel the warmth that came from his SOUL, feel the thrum of his soul-beat through his ribs?

And just lay there, on his side, just feeling that steady pulse and listening to the quiet sounds of them breathing?

And then quietly make the comment that they sort of matched? That Cross and Killer were so much alike, yet so, so insanely different?

And when Cross quietly asks what he means by that, Killer just murmurs about red and white. He talks about not being entirely monster, not entirely themselves- and yet they are both, inexplicably, them. Mention how that fact is a little shitty, not gonna lie.

And when Killer finally looks up a bit to meet Cross's eyes, his smile wavers at the sincerity in his gaze. He's reminded of the warmth under his fingertips.

And the warmth of Cross when he inevitably leans forward to press their foreheads together, Cross's own hand on Killer's chest (close enough to Killer's SOUL, but not enough to touch). And then Cross mumbles something about it being a little shitty, but at least they weren't alone.

And it makes Killer's SOUL ache and wobble and

do

do you guys ever think about that or

This year I drew about 3 things and nothing else because wrist injuries suck. If you stick this one behind last year's entry you can track exactly how devastating the past 1.5 year have been for my ability to art. I'm having such a good time 👍 (/s)

MARCH: [portraits one & portraits two] Bunch of colored sketches of Valnix' kids, and a bunch of headshots of Star Wars ocs. Tied for most productive month with May, I think. APRIL: [sketches one & sketches two] Couple of sketches of my FR dragons. MAY: [Spire Climber]Mermay (all 9 days of it), but I also did this WIP and I felt it deserved calling out as the Only (non-pixel) shaded work I did this year, so. Tied for most productive month with March. JUNE: [FR adopts] All I did this month. But, to be fair, I had wrist surgery at the end of May and that sucked. JULY: yeah, these aren't posted anywhere because I wanted to finish more of them first. That, uh, never happened. Whoops! AUGUST: [Fusemon sprites] Three sets of Fusemons done for a personal project, at the start of the month. And then my wrist got worse again so... :/

Was digging through some old drawings and apparently Valnix was originally named Elias? Fucking Elias? I guess it matched Zalia better (since that has always been her name), but still. What a difference.

[darks-ink]

Not to be dramatic or anything but I am going to start climbing up fucking walls.
