“Atleast you’re real…”

A gift for @xxzaelxx, was incredibly inspired by their style (it’s so cool but uh I kinda missed the mark in replicating it)

#Bro this was actually so hard wtf-#Probably because I usually skimp on backgrounds uhhhh #But I’d still looks weird cus I had no idea what I was doing with the shading #The night sky was so a bad choice-#Contrasts too hard with the other ones #You know what looked better in my head but is has merit #My art #jax #(ew Jax)#Pomni #funnybunny #jax x pomni #pomni x jax #tadc #Girl I spent too long on this #the amazing digital circus #Like I just kinda didn’t know what the hell I was doing half way through- just gotta trust the process ig #I need to stop yapping in tags huh #Gift

hey uh do you have any advice for getting into zine making? especially like the kind of multimedia/collage ones? idk i think they're cool and i maybe want to start making some but i dont know how to start

start with scraps! receipts, tickets, offcuts, etc. takes the pressure off a bit. my first collage zine was put together with receipts and packaging cutouts! it was just about my groceries

you could do something like that. orrr collect some bits and bobs to cut/tear some shapes and stick them onto the pages. very simple but it could be a way to try out different ways of securing them, like using stitch, staples, tape. most of the time its to get a fun effect, but also glue isn't always enough. like i had to sew the netting in the 2nd image ^

tbh i find it kinda hard to give advice with multimedia/collage because for me, it's very much just jumping straight into it. if i think about it too much i get Extremely caught up in details and it's not fun, but you might work better with more planning! also don't be scared to rip or cover something if it's not working. done that many times 👍

#sorry it's a bit vague but well. what i said above. but basically imagine me writing Experiment on a whiteboard and underlining it #i found collage extremely hard to get into. like i had to force myself to sit down and do it #then i realised it's cuz i was always too specific about what i wanted and getting frustrated it wasn't turning out like that #so my process is literally just like. Brain Off. Gluestick On #i'm allowed to have a vague idea of what i want. colours and text. like my planning for 'Get me out of here' was just writing drafts #but layout? that's a problem for me when i get there!!!!!#ANYWAY UM Yes in my experience collage is just throwing my ass at it until something happens. my ultimate test in trusting the process #because what the hell is the paper doing #anonymous #ask #zine talk

i feel like sometimes we all get so distracted by bobby’s line in the pilot that the 118 is not a family that we forget in that same speech he says buck calls him “pops” and they went to a springsteen concert together. anyway if anything bad happens to our father bobby nash i’m going to cause an international incident.

#remember when bobby told chimney he deserved better than tatiana and officiated chimney’s marriage to the love of his life #remember when he believed in hen’s leadership abilities and called her captain #remember when he supported eddie through their shared insurmountable grief #remember when he took ravi to the crowded coffee shop just so he wouldn’t be alone as he processed a hard call #remember when he cradled buck’s lifeless body and lowered him onto the gurney #remember when he opened his heart up to love again and found a loving family with the grants #remember how harry always trusted bobby and ran to him when he fought with his parents #remember when may said she had two dads and he was one of them #sorry i forgot the point of this point my watch is telling me its cry about bobby o’clock

[ID from ALT: Digital fanart of Lin Huai from The NPC Was Once Again Frightened By Me, from the Civilized World arc. Lin Huai is a fair skinned chinese man with straight black hair. He has just put on a purple suit over a black shirt and is adjusting the coat, his bright red eyes glancing at the viewer with complete disinterest. Two spotlights are trained on him, casting his shadow on a dark red background. End ID]

A person will not take off his clothes in public. Even a demon may not like to show his body in front of people, but it is different in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, because... In that sea, all but him were dead.

#Mara's Art #Lin Huai #The NPC Was Once Again Frightened By Me #Why is the NPC Frightened By Me Once Again #林槐 #MY GUY. i trusted the process.#anyways this paragraph hit me so hard i had to make fanart. i love him #context: an large group of npcs are frozen and scared watching as lin huai is about to casually change into the purple suit #and one realizes that lin huai is so at ease because in his eyes all of the people in the room are dead 👍#this is after he broke out of a glass cage and restrained said npcs with his blood.... anyways #have i said i love lin huai.#text from the novel is MTL and edited a little by me

I’m a little worried with how many storylines there are right now because that episode really felt like so much but also nothing happened. And we didn’t even see the Numenoreans or the dwarves at all. I trust them to bring everything together but it seems a little cluttered at the moment.

#rings of power #rops2 #rings of power spoilers #rops2 spoilers #like I’m still enjoying it I don’t think I’ll ever not enjoy it #but also I looked at my phone and realized I was about 45 minutes in and it didn’t seem like much had happened #idk like I said I trust the creative team #sometimes it’s hard to see the big picture when you’re only seeing one episode at a time #also realizing we didn’t see celebrimbor and annatar #so three storylines we didn’t get any of this ep #I’m sure it’s hard with /so much/ happening so I’m trusting the process

Grace FUMBLED Ryan! BAD parenting to preach respect and then act contrarily (ie saying she wants him to feel safe, then not allowing him any autonomy). She should've let him leave and come back... or at least explained why she didn't want him to leave before deciding (ex: 'Homelander will kidnap you', etc). She needed to let him make the decision for himself... agh. AAAAA.

And now Butcher's no use because he's committed to being evil and can't offer ANYTHING good to Ryan!!! He was so right, they NEEDED to give Ryan more space... I know the external pressures seemed impossible, but dammit, Grace, this was no way to beat the odds!

(this is about The Boys season four)

#ryan butcher #the boys #How much does Ryan know about his dad's upbringing?#Because he's right... Grace trapping him would've been like Vought and young Homelander... AAAGH #I hate it!!! When the heroes are genuinely more moral than the villains #but they make the same fatal mistakes and doom their cause in the process!!#AAA!!! GRACE!!!!#I don't hate her. I think she was dead wrong but I do not despise her. I know she meant it from the bottom of her heart--#--when she said she loves him.#But as she said it I couldn't help but imagine Barbara saying that to young John in the exact same way...#Grace may not have wanted to be like that but her actions would've had the same effect.#It hurts because I know so much where she's coming from #but it's just dead true that they can't reach a happy ending by treating someone so inhumanely.#Anyway. I hurt #Homelander is EVIL and THE BAD GUY #and this is not mutually exclusive with the fact that HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TREATED LIKE THAT (how Vought raised him)#And it HURTS because the protagonists who were able to get to Ryan understood the first part (Homelander evil)#but not the second!!!! (His upbringing was a moral abomination)#It hurty it hurty because I WANT Ryan to heal...I want SOME kind of closure to what happened to the kid Homelander once was...#Ryan and his dad (insofar as he is Ryan's dad) had the potential to get to that place Hughie described...that place of forgiveness #where it's not win all vs lose all.... where it's confronting hell and making something good out of it...#Homelander was corrupting the trust he and Ryan were building by traumatizing Ryan and pushing him to do evil things....#..but god...GODDD....Hughie was SO RIGHT in his speech... what he and Victoria had is the answer. That's the answer!!!#And there was a MERE GLIMMER of a chance that Ryan and Homelander could enact that healing #And damn!! After the name of the game being 'kill Homelander' for the other three seasons #seeing the answer be 'violence only exacerbates suffering.. let's make things better instead' .... It would've been so amazing...#ah! Too good to be true!!!!#Butcher saying 'If where you feel safest is with Homelander then I won't stop you' HIT SO HARD #knowing that Ryan has felt so afraid....#they made it about the relationship between a child and their abusive parent and uh BIG SURPRISE it's breaking me

thinking about Shang Qinghua as a calamity again...

#svsss #shang qinghua #technically counts as tgcf?#just the idea of sqh dying and coming back is so compelling because in canon he literally just going through the motions. he's given up.#he doesn't WANT to die (from mbj's hand– from cang qiong's fall) but that's all he sees. it's the only end he can imagine to his story.#so the act of getting him to the point where he WANTS to stay– where it doesn't matter that death has come to take him he's not DONE YET is #revolutionary to his character (his ‟character‟– his role as well) in of itself and requires some canon divergence to justify it #and it's INTENSELY interesting to imagine him getting there #Imagine: An Ding is cruel. It is cruel and inefficient and its cruelties only make it more so. Sqh is ‟awarded‟ with the role of Peak Lord #of An Ding (this crown of barbed wire). And sqh doesn't MEAN to change the plot but– it's awful here! It's so awful that it's OFFENSIVE #and before sqh knows it two years have passed and An Ding is a mess of growing pains: of infrastructure torn down and rebuilt #but it's... better. It's hard work. It undeniably sucks and makes sqh cry from frustration all the time! Balancing the fixing of all the #shit his shizun left broken while staying on top of his usual duties is a procession of sleepless nights and little pains. (perhaps sqh has #growing pains too. change is hard for all that it's necessary.)#and then– and THEN! He's on his way to a trade meeting or spying for mbj or something else: it's doesn't matter.#And however the stage is set sqh dies and– sqh's life is finally starting to NOT suck! yqy has been asking for his future plans and sqh has #been answering. qqq found a scrap of a picture book he wrote when he was a senior disciple and demanded he finish it because it #‟had potential to increase literacy‟! He has a second command that he trusts won't stab him at the slightest provocation! His life is busy #and more than a little hellish but it's HIS. He's changed things even he didn't mean to.#An Ding's HIS. he got rid of the assholes and poured so much WORK into the people left and then the people who came later.#All of it boils down to this: it's unfair. it's too soon. it wasn't supposed to happen like this.#and so sqh dies for the second time and screams himself back to existence if not life.#the system cracking beneath his teeth– puppeteer turned to power for the puppet to consume.#(So there is a ghost on An Ding for all that only the ghost knows it.)

the sinus headaches are already not great but Extra Shit has been added to the pile and im just sat on that right now trying to figure out what the fuck to do

#ive uh not processed it yet and it also wont really shake out for a little while now i guess but .. yeah #long story short my friends who ive been A Trio with since we were 11 might be done with each other #theres a LOT of additional factors but theyre splitting a house share so one can go live with a boyfriend #and in the process it sounds like theyve made a lot of selfish choices for some unknown reason #ngl theyve pissed me off a little bit for being so weird and reclusive since theyve had the boyfriend as well but only with us #its ... yeah i dont know what alls happened because i dont live with them #but i just cant fathom how they got to this point quibbling over the contents of their shared house of 5 years #over a boyfriend whos been around for 2 or 3 years ..... to ruin a friendship of 18 years ????#again i dont know the whole story but i trust what the friend whos still good at talking to us to not lie about them being screwed around #i just dont get it at all how to reconcile what ive been told with who ive known over half my life #theyve felt off .. or wrong for a while now tbh ... i miss them #i havent seen the other one since before may ...#the thought that mightve been the last time we all hang out is kind of killling me inside lol #and it was also pretty weird and stilted again because it was very boyfriend-centric #this always happens to me lol ive lost count of all my school friend groups who end up basically fighting over me after they fall out #its a MAJOR trauma point for me and i thought we kind of grew past that but i guess i was wrong #ive been catching myself with a weepy eye or a single sob all day #i dont know what to do i wanna know what the fuck happened and what was worth doing this for #i wanna confront everyone and ask for a fucking explanation as to why my single life solid bedrock is falling apart #i mostly wanna dig a hole and die in it ... im fine im safe but im bothered by like ...#what a total fool ill look like if i just melt down at work ... i might find the mental health first aiders list and write an email lol #im like not okay cksbdkssj fucking hell #i have some hope but its ... its hard out here #i need to go to bed fuck #id dont neeeeed thiiiiisss im gonna choke on life agaaaiiinnn #the battle to keep my shit together enough to at least not self-sabotage ??? its testing my patience #rory's ramblings

a song that i associate with my muse meme!

AHH, hey, ramone!! thank you for sending in this prompt :D since you sent in three of the mic's, i shall now be treating you to three songs that make me think of blamore when i hear them / that i associate with it. an explanation of why i chose them will be in the tags <3

hozier - who we are.

youtube

icehouse - crazy.

youtube

depeche mode - personal jesus.

youtube

#IT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING BUT IT FELT LIKE THE WORLD: musings.#asks - answered.#ooc post.#okay but ESPECIALLY heavy on the last one because it literally all about the idea of someone that people can turn to in hard times-#like a god or a prophet who will listen to your plights and help you + who you should believe in. and i say this because one major theme-#to blamore's character is the concept of being a false prophet and someone who essentially unfortunately takes advantage of people's-#longing for things to get better in gotham. bc i feel like a lot of people there have either been failed by the system by other's or-#possibly both and this is so that blamore can get people to voluntarily want to consume the 'seeds' it distributes in order to uhh...#well purge gotham of its undesirables basically as terrible as that sounds. but yeah that depeche mode song? it's such a good one for-#him and definitely has helped me before to write things related to him since blamore does sometimes believe in its own hubris.#but as for the second one by icehouse that one i associate with it because although it doesn't exactly consider itself to fully identify-#with the label of being a 'man' i feel as if blamore will still talk about itself that way sometimes. its relationship with its gender-#is honestly a little bit complicated NGL because him using it/its pronouns as well is something blamore adopted recently even-#though he'd always sort of felt like disconnected and/or like it didn't really align with how he saw himself completely. BUT yeahhh #i honestly could start a whole discussion about that but i shall do that another time perhaps ahah. anyhow though besides that-#elephant in the room ever since it has transformed into this half-human half-plant monster being... although it does love any partners-#it has very much (trust me) i feel like it does wonder why they chose to be with him more often than he'd like to admit.#so that's where the whole 'crazy' part comes in and as for the hozier song that song is about how you kind of have to carve through-#this 'darkness' to rediscover ourselves and who we want to be as a result of going through a rough time or just something tough in-#general and that is SO freaking fitting in my opinion for blamore because it definitely had to completely reframe the way it thought-#about itself when it transformed. and he also had to figure out what he believed in / what his values were now which can be suchhh-#a messy process TBH but this isn't the first time that blamore's had to rediscover itself as life is honestly kind of this ongoing-#process of losing yourself and trying to find yourself again you know? but yeah. i hope you enjoyed my explanation here tehe <3 #and also that you enjoy the tunes!!

warren they could NEVER make me like you

#hes weird hes a creep and i dont care what anybody says about him just being a boy in highschool with a crush 🥺#i just recently had an experience with a guy like that and trust me i do not GAF if hes just some young boy with a crush #like can we get serious honestly because even if that’s how this Young Man is processing his crush #it doesn’t change the girl’s discomfort (me being that girl and also max in the game)#max shows discomfort. she reluctantly agrees to plans with him. when she agrees she wishes she hadn’t #she’s always thinking of chloe in those moments #trust me that girl doesn’t want warren and warren’s making her sincerely uncomfortable #she’s just a good sport about it and i get Why #it’s hard to speak out or to stand your ground it’s easier to just play it off #but even when you do you try and avoid the guy (which she did!!!!!)#so warren? OVER. g/rahamfield? NEVER HAPPENING thank you #🧸#also double exposure when i get my HANDS ON YOU #them dumbing down p-ricefield to hs sweethearts just made those stalker freak’s fans 20x more annoying #even though the phrase doesn’t necessarily mean they didn’t love each other / weren’t soulmates #people just… are weird… and annoying…#i will survive sorry I just needed to get this one out esp since it’s TOO real now after that one guy i dealt w 😭

you can easily tell someone does not live with stomach issues when their go-to recommendation if you have no appetite/nausea is strongly flavored Japanese, Mexican, or indian food because it 'helps with digestion and is easy to get down!'

#even thinking of eating any of that shit rn is making me actually gag :)#and i eat exclusively east asian; indian; and latin american food. this isn't a white person going 'ew curry how gross'#i love that shit but if i attempted to eat it right now i would spew everywhere before i eveen got it into my mouth.#btw what i actually can stomach during periods like this is garlic rice (on the plainer side; not as heavily garlicked as i'd do normally)#WATER. i literally just chug water constantly when im sick #NOT TEA. do not try tea. you might think 'oh this is a bit more filling than water' but no. it will haunt you all day long.#tea is SO hard on your stomach you can get ulcers from it. dont try to drink tea when your stomach is acting up IT WILL ONLY HURT YOU.#and FRUIT. as in fresh fruit. not processed in any way. if it comes from a tree then even better.#some examples would be apples; peaches; plums; pears; oranges. just eaten straight like that. i cant even stomach them if they've been cut #tried and true <3 #ive had severe stomach issues for as long as i can remember btw. basically missed all of 3rd and 4th grade bc i was sick with stomach #infections so often and for so long #you can trust my advice
