YESSSSSS I DID IT!!! Like holy hell!! I am so proud of it!! I've spent so much time but it's so freaking worth it !!

I have this headcanon where Quackity can cook almost restaurant-quality food. Probably cuz business, idk. But I love the idea of him being able to make literally the most delicious steak with little to no effort

ugh. some thoughts.

really been trying to find the joy in drawing/writing again and honestly it's been such a challenge. friends have told me it's most likely depression that's making it hard to feel motivated and tbh they're probably right.

hoping to get back into being creative in the way I Want to be at some point tho. I miss it. there's still so much with my stories and characters that I haven't been able to share or explain and I wish I knew how without it feeling like this daunting, impossible task.

I don't know when I'll get around to actually sharing art again (or writing, if ever). was hoping that I'd manage to get some of my mental and physical issues in check recently for just long enough to get back into the swing of being creative, but that hasn't seemed to work. everything feels bad, both artistically and physically. I'm struggling to keep up with the frantic pace at which my brain comes up with story concepts and intriguing character interactions, even tho everything in me wishes I could turn it into tangible artistic expression so I can get it out of my head and share it. it used to be easy. I don't know why it's not now.

I'm just . tired, I guess.

God is not dead is such a terrible franchise of movies, like, seriously, it is such a bad franchise. It is a fetish, like, really, those movies are something to satiate this christian fetish to be persecuted, and it is impossible for that to happen in most part of the world, especially USA (and brazil) because they are the majority, including in the govenment.

I am talking about this because i was visiting my grandparents and my grandpa started to watch God is not dead 3 and holy shit, that movie is shit, like, for real, is really bad hahaha. The fact that society don't spin around them and the fact that people different from them exist piss them off so much that is funny and scary too.

I do have this feeling that they see people that are not christian existing in society as a form of agression against them, specially if the society forbid them to harass anyone that is not christian until they convert to christianity.

If I could stop seeing absolutely sickening scenarios of my star rail f/os that would be fantastic

[obituarybug]

Everytime I tell someone I'm independent/no party and they immediately start spouting bullshit to me about the importance of voting and why I should vote and that "a vote for third party is a vote for x" an angel loses its wings

Like sorry I wasn't aware that only Republicans & Democrats are allowed to vote for their respective parties and independents can't and that if they see you're registered independent they fucking rip up your ballot in front of you and don't count it

I AM STILL GOING TO FUCKING VOTE SHUT YOUR BITCH ASS UP.

There is nothing anyone can do to convince me to like 'selfshipping'/oc x canon or to feel anything beyond neutrality for the concept. Like there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, have fun go crazy set your spirit free etc, but when it clogs up tags I;m like I hope the ceiling fan drops on your original character

[heartsteeled]

i need to make a more formal post on this but considering i've been alluding to it a lot, i think about the line "now the lowlifes at the top floor" so much. everyone in heartsteel is dealing w their own issues, and they're going to prove to the music industry they're so much more than that.

especially in regards to ezreal; i'm still fiddling with how exactly i want his lore to go, but i've been talking it over with val, and generally:

his parents were big in the showbiz business, particularly overseas; i think he always wanted to follow in their footsteps, despite how little time they had for him he was still raised by his uncle, as they had little time for him

it was also very easy to call him a nepo baby because of this; he was a manufactured idol, after all! but it's not exactly the truth. if ez didn't have his own skill, his parents wouldn't have given him a second glance.

they are retired by the time ezreal debuts, though; which in a sense makes his "fall from grace" that much worse in his own eyes. they stepped out of the limelight only for their son, much awaited prodigy, to absolutely fail market-wise. he was so focused on actually making it that he rushed through agencies and didn't bother double checking, i think.

this absolutely destroyed him and he moved out for a while. probably crashed at some friends. got his own place, away from his parents, and was in true misery at that point.

i think he stlll kept up with a lot of the music industry, despite how unhealthy his obsession was at times. he also kept in shape, went through his vocal warmups/training, etc-- he never really gave up on his dream, but his self-esteem took a blow instead.

i think heartsteel genuinely saved him. not having to ride someone else's coattails, not having to stick to a sleek industry standard, being able to do it their way-- it's the most freedom he's ever gotten. and like what i said before, all of heartsteel have gone through their own trials and tribulations, so they'd know better than anyone else how the music industry burns you.

i think ezreal jokes about his past with the gang and will get flustered if they bring it up, but hasn't really told them how badly it affected him. he's committed to his dumb, shining persona, even if its detrimental to his relationships off stage. more than anything, he doesn't want heartsteel to get panned by the media. it's true most of them probably wouldn't care, but ezreal does, & has always cared very much what the fans think of and want from him.

Oh god I just finished Book 2 and it was so bad… I went into this with an open mind just like I did with Book 1 and god did I hate this. Clem just annoyed the hell out of me for the entire book. I liked everyone BUT her, Ricca and Morro. And I don’t even hate Morro she just showed up randomly to say weird ominous shit and then went to do her walker autopsies. Idk… it just sucked so hard. I miss Amos.

I've reread it and I'm working on my review so I won't go into a whole spiel but yeah. I mean, I still think I like Book Two over Book One... until we get to chapter 7. It has the same problem as Book One where the ending is just bad.

Clementine still feels out of character when you compare her to game Clementine, but she's consistent with Book One Clementine. I get what her character's supposed to be and why she's going through these things, why she approaches things the way she does but it makes it hard to enjoy when you have context from the games. I've already seen Clementine grow up and face hardships in the apocalypse, and the games have the advantage of showing all that across four games whereas this series only gets three books, so we don't have time to waste, y'know?

But Morro was the biggest wasted opportunity, like... what a disappointment. When I read it the first time, I was giving my first reactions in chat with Pi and we were both like, "So it's gonna be revealed that Morro's actually doing science experiments on walkers, right?" but no.... she's literally just doing autopsies like c'mon, walker science experiments and abominations would've been amazing!

And Ricca... honestly, I like the idea of Ricca because let's be real, a lot of us wear glasses or contacts or have some sort of vision impairment, myself included, and a zombie apocalypse would suck! If my glasses broke and I had no means of getting a new pair and it's the zombie apocalypse, I'm dead. And Book One set up this interesting story where Ricca's brother was an abuser who purposely broke her glasses so that she had no choice but to rely on him, then when she finally found pair that worked, she left him. But now her eyesight is worsening, and that's scary, that's something I could sympathize with...... but it's almost treated like an inconvenience? Because her and Clementine's relationship is the emotional drama that takes stage and frankly, I don't like clemricca. Not just because it's not clouis. I went into it with an open mind wanting to ship it but... meh.

I don't like how Ricca's like, "I'll wait for you," and then later she gets butthurt because Clementine won't get on the same level as her fast enough. Clementine doesn't owe Ricca anything, y'know? But Ricca is like "I love you, and I know you love me too, but I need you to love me always, not start and stop. It's not fair, you want me to wait for the impossible!?" Stop trying to guilt her when she's clearly not ready for a relationship? I get the frustration but c'mon.

And then there's chapter 9 which... I'm honestly this close to losing my shit with people. I don't think I've ever been as disappointed or disgusted of the fandom than I have seeing people send threats to Tillie on her instagram over chapter 9. She posted about how Book Two released AND she gave birth to her son on Oct 4th, and you go to the comments and there are just people calling her a pedophile and writing threats-

On a post. From Tillie. About the birth of her son. What the hell is wrong with you???

And then there are people just straight up LYING about shit.

I read a comment on reddit where someone compared Clementine Book Two to 50 Shades of Grey because there's an explicit sex scene and uhm NO??? There's absolutely nothing explicit, Ricca is not like Christian Grey like?? What the fuck is wrong with you? It's like these people read the summaries on the wiki- WHICH BY THE WAY if any of you happen to see this screenshot circulating anywhere-

^this is not a real quote, this is obviously fake.

Please don't mindlessly believe people on the internet about shit, especially when they themselves haven't actually read it.

Anyway, it's like people read the wiki summaries and decided to spread false and exaggerated information about the comic because they want to paint it in the worst light possible to trick people and it's working and I'm so...UGH.

Sorry to nosedive into this but it pisses me off. There's a lot to discuss about chapter 9- shit, there's a lot of criticism to be had with Book Two, and I will go over everything in my review, but for right now I'll just say yep, Book Two isn't very good.

I miss Amos, too.
