Sorry things have been kinda quiet here when it comes to posting art outside of the comic. I try to do asks all the justice they deserve, but it's been hard lately.

Recently, there's been a big change in my life that has been affecting me a lot emotionally. I'm doing okay now, but It was a lot to process.

I feel like you guys at least should get some kind of update. My biggest fear is that it's affecting the way I talk. And I don't want to accidentally upset people. That's like my biggest fear.

I don't want to get into what upset me so much. But it made me realize that I should probably reach out more. I feel secluded in how things are and have been. All this sadness and loneliness isn't good. Stepping out of my comfort zone is gonna be something...

Blitzø's Name In The End Credits

A while ago, I saw someone point out that Blitzø's name on recent episodes (in the credits) had an X over the O and went to check it out. It turned out to be true and decided to keep track of it until it'll change again.

I wasn't going to search deeper than that, mostly waiting on how it'll go but I decided to check if it was any different than the ø that we're supposed to know. So...

When I saw this in season 1 episode 1, my jaw was on the floor.

I'm sure people have pointed this out before, I've only seen about the recent X over the O but I'm sure this ain't new. Part of me had noticed but when months pass between episodes and you don't actually pay attention to the credits, the change is so minor that it kind of never happened in my mind.

But the fact of the matter is-

all of season 1 had Blitzø's name written with the o. No "silent O", just Blitzo. Until...

Queen Bee.

If people were around, they know Queen Bee did not release after Ozzie's but we're pretty certain it was done way before season 2 began (even though it released in the middle of it). Anyway.

Maybe the change from the o without a line and the ø with the line wasn't so weird when it happened, especially since season 2 was out and the change had already been implemented, as seen below ↓

But it only lasts up until Western Energy. After that...

The X appears.

This is definitely on purpose, I simply can't figure out the purpose. My only theory is that it's supposed to represent Blitzø's declining mental health and severe self-hatred/low self-image taking a hold. I do not know. I can only point out the events on the previous episodes before the changes were done.

Ozzie's/Finale: Blitzø was faced with his past in the most disastrous way, ending with the start of his relationship with Stolas falling apart. His self image crumbled further.

Western Energy: Blitzø was faced with the fact that Stolas can get/be hurt. His view of the immortal/untouchable Stolas crumbled. Assumption, he might blame himself for not being there.

I don't know, I'm just thinking and I'll probably be obsessed with this until we see what else they do.

even the infamous pirate captain james flint isn't immune to the gay urge to shave your head when having a psychological crisis

Posted this on Twitter too somehow Lythero found it (i didn't even tag him lol) and retweeted it, this is probably the biggest W i ever had so far 😭✨

So, no planet? :b

I've been struggling with something that I'm sure might be happening to some of you too. So the thing is, when I'm reading a buddie fic I can't stop picturing Eddie with the mustache, I just can't get it out of my head.

All the Eddies in my head look like this and I can't avoid it:

I don't know what I'm gonna do when they shave it off because I have grown quite fond of it.

It's Supposed to Be Fun

(a letter to my friends in the twst fandom)

I've been wanting to make this post for a while and these thoughts may seem scattered but I’m gonna try to express them. 

Lately, I have seen many friends and moots that either are leaving the fandom or feel guilty over not having posted in a while or losing interest in twst. On the other side, I also have friends being harassed.

This a reminder to remember why you joined this community to begin with. I know that keeping up with the fast-moving pace of fandom and comparing ourselves to others, can skew our perspective on these things.

It’s supposed to be fun. 

Why do we post art or write? Sure, partly for recognition, there's no denying that. But, why do we create, I mean really? For enjoyment. Not for others, not to be “popular” FOR JOY.

So, whether you’re dealing with people critiquing you or feeling guilty about not creating. My question is this: Why waste so much of your time on something that makes you miserable?

Did it stop being fun? Why? Haters? Loss of interest?

To my friends who feel guilty for not creating and not sure if they lost interest in twst: 

Don’t feel guilty. At one time, the creation of your twst content was natural. It's what you did for fun with friends or for yourself. Revisit that mindset and think - if creating twst content now will bring that same joy it did before.

If the answer is no, then maybe it’s time to pivot. It’s okay for interests to fade. It doesn’t mean that time, memories, or the friends you made are lost. Connect with your friends, we will understand! We still love you! It's not a race there's no time limit, just pick up were you want to. Draw fanart of old events or OCs.

To my friends who have been harassed: 

I say this with sincerity…. People who harass others over fictional characters are fucking losers.

Like… There’s no other eloquent way to encapsulate it. I’m starting to not care for the reason anymore - If you harass or be shady to others over a ship or fictional character. CONGRATS! YOU ARE A LOSER.

We all join fandoms as a hobby, for fun. We’re all just kids in the sandbox playing pretend again… and if you are the type of person to go up just to “kick the doll out of someone’s hand" or make commentary on how “their way of playing is wrong." You’re a loser. I have a life outside of twst, we all do. Someone saying my ship is wrong or cringe is just so laughable to me. We have to make fun of these people more for being so goddamn lame.

Imagine being so unhappy that when you see someone having fun you HAVE to comment on it. By all means, if it gets you through the day...talk shit to close friends or even post about it on your own blog. (THAT WAS ALWAYS ALLOWED.) Don't bother creators directly. Don't be a loser. I sure see tolerance leave people’s bodies when they see a fandom opinion they don't like. (And this is coming from someone who has lots of opinions on these things! But that's why I always put the disclaimers that, hey this is just MY opinion.)

Discussion is one thing, unhelpful comments are another. We shouldn’t give these people the time of day. Curate your online space. Yes, when you post things online you are subjecting yourself to scrutiny. But, we as creators need to stop letting these people have power over us. Period. We do this for free!! FOR FUN. The best thing you can do is create shamelessly.

Delete weird replies, block whoever you need to do to rid yourself of these people who have nothing better to do. Keep your peace. It’s supposed to be for fun. You don’t owe anyone a response.

The twst fandom is like a little family to me and I guess I feel protective over the people in it?  I have made many friends and memories because I joined it. And even dispite a handful of the negative experiences (AKA: A couple of “losers" that I’ve had to deal with.) I’ll always look fondly back on this time.

The key for me has always been to just…create for myself. I originally made bunnwich for me and one friend to make fun little arts about our Yuu’s and now I get to have lots of friends to share it with! I’ve transitioned from an OC blog to probably more of an Oc x Canon blog…but I don’t care tbh. I just…draw what I feel like. I know there are people who probably dislike me for that or feel strange about my content and that’s fine. I’m still gonna keep drawing it, loser.  

And I just want you guys to do the same, twst or not.

I can’t forget that all my followers and friends are a bonus, if I had never joined tumblr I’d still be drawing the silly shit I draw in peace. And while yes, I do want to grow as an artist and sell more merch and keep growing... I can’t forget my initial excitement for this silly little game. I like to talk about it. I like to write about it. It inspires me.

It’s supposed to be fun. Please remember that. I know it can be discouraging to have others being shitty to you. Or going through a creative drought. But, try not to let this stop you from creating what you love.

[lampfaced]

I am suddenly interested in the Navi 👀

[marshmallowcat666]

I’m currently hyperfixated rereading Ftfo and can barely do any drawing but I’m trying!!! ‘^’ Designs are easier to draw for some reason so might see only those for a bit T-T

anyways have my version of Lord Lunar’s Gemini! They get fun new outfits!!!

Sometimes I feel like only Peter Parker gets how humbling it is to be poor jesus christ. I am enjoying my time despite not being my cup of tea (I am a dialogue person, I love dialogue I love dialogue as a dog loves little delicious treats. 60's comics unfortunately do not have the best kind of dialogues). But I am enjoying it, almost as a concept, hecause Stan Lee and Robin Dikto do not have the fear to show a pathetic little man, they don't have the embarrassment of showing your hero getting rejected by the girl, forgetting to let his suit dry and having to wear a wet scrunky suit, showing him being arrogant, being annoying, a very very antisocial guy.

I think reading so so many comics where it's clear how much the writers are trying to make the hero sound cool, the smartest, handsomest and smoothies guy in the room.

Peter is kind of a breath of fresh air. He gets it, he really does. He's not cool, he's not there yet. He's a kid doing dumb shit. Trying to do better, failing and failing and trying. No wonder so many people who got to read his comics as they were growing up hold Peter so close to their heart.

Because he's the proof you can try again, you can fuck up, in ten, twenty, thirty hell maybe forty years from now it won't matter. Just try again. Stand up. Try again.

@sciderman talks a lot about how Spider-Man is about reaching manhood and I've never get it, sure as a concept yes but I couldn't grasp why. Now I do.

It's not about waking up and being the man you should be, being responsible for having a cool montage of getting better and better. Nah it's the every day thing. Peter isn't (at least what I am getting of the comics while I read at my pace and time) the representation of becoming the power and responsability thing, he is the representation of having this as a goal. And trying each day.

i appreciate the fact that many online spaces for witchcraft, (neo)paganism, occultism, etc. have become exponentially more mindful of cultural appropriation over the years. but i NEVER see this extend to the appropriation of kabbalah. it infuriates me to no end. you seriously think you have any idea what you're talking about when """practicing kabbalah"""?? every book you're "learning" from was written by an antisemite who doesn't know jack shit about they're saying. i hear your "ideas" and "interpretations" and "teachings" of kabbalah and i laugh.

you seriously think you could ever understand kabbalah while also spitting on the people it belongs to? you can never remove a heart from its body and expect it to continue to beat.

honestly abed was so real for not even caring about free drinks and just having someone's attention to talk about his interests. even if the other person had ulterior motives, at least they were listening.

but on an even realer note he should've gone and talked to troy about them. and also had gay sex with him.

a little confession: i got into Hermitcraft through Life SMP (and even that one i discovered mere months ago), so i wanted to know which came first for the lot of you

Rant about Jannik

There's something to be said about how special it is that Jannik feels supported. He has made it pretty clear that the game is important and that he loves tennis, but being around loved ones and having good support in his life is even more important. He appears to have a wonderful relationship with his team, and his performance is a reflection of both his skill and the efforts of his team and himself.

It is preposterous that people continue to assume that he is a robot-like player when he has and can express himself so openly when given the opportunity and space to do so. We have seen that if you give him the space, he will bloom. The expectation that players need to be more extroverted and bubbly (maybe due to social media expectations) can be hefty, but it is admirable that Jannik tends to stick to what he knows and is comfortable with rather than forcing himself to be what he is not. He's not very reactionary on the court and while being coolheadedness is a desirable skill to have, it appears that certain kinds of people live for drama and theatrics - something Jannik often does not possess midgame.

I enjoy that he made an intentional comment about knowing who his friends were. Yes, this is a sport which someone has to win and someone has to lose, often pitting like-abled players against each other often, but the sport also emphasizes friendships and pushes them as they do rivalries.

I do not know Jannik Sinner personally - nor do I claim to know him - but I feel led to believe that he feels and feels quite deeply. He doesn't wear it on his sleeve for everyone to see yet he is open to discussing hard topics if he feels safe to do so.

Support is crucial for him.

(I think it is one of the reasons N*ck K*rg**s cannot let him go. Other than the knowledge that Jannik is dating his ex, Nick seems to want to spark reaction out of Jannik and the world as a whole. He wants the world pitted against Sinner because it adds pressure and more light to him. His theatrics make tennis interesting - exactly what tennis heads want - but Jannik clearly isn't playing that game, which makes him more frustrated and causes him to keep trying until he gets what he wants. So he keeps adding pressure, vying for people to join him in detestment and praying on the downfall of Jannik Sinner. Even if that were to happen - unlikely - that would be his greatest accomplishment when it comes to tennis.)

“that was the advantage of wearing a mask in the winter, it kept my face warm” <- you can and should still do this

“i know, seems like everyone is getting sick now” <- did you know wearing a mask will probably save you from joining the group of people getting sick?

way do people act like wearing a mask is no longer an option when it’s objectively the best option, right now especially for so many more reasons than just covid
