When your mother chats with American friends after they've awoken, and your teenage brother chats with friends with unending energy

And it's fucking midnight

My life is now filled with unorganized naps and I'm becoming more cat-like by the day

#im happy for them both #mum has always had issues making friends and i was worried about how my lil bro would socially deal with high school #but omfg i have zero schedule and i do not think its helping my depression?#i need a fucking job already #remy chats #half the story in the tags #bleh #Aussie vs American times is a 14hr difference -_-

I cannot express enough that if your reaction, as a hobby artist, to not getting that many notes on your art is to say "maybe I should just stop doing art altogether" you need to stop posting art to tumblr

not necessarily forever, not even for long, but just stop putting your art on here and start doing it for you again, remember why you enjoyed doing art in the first place and stop relying on the attention of faceless people on the internet for your enjoyment of your hard work

believe me, I get it, nothing crushes the artistic soul quite like labouring for hours on a piece only for it to get like 10 notes, so you need to find your own source of joy in the act of creation and a lot of the time that means making art and not showing it to anybody

#not art #listen #for real #this is not about any one person because i've seen posts about it from a bunch of people #you think i post everything here? buddy i dont even post half my stuff here #every drawing you see is preceded by five more just like it #that never see my cursor close to the save button #i have a sketchbook i draw in regularly that i do'nt show to a single goddam person #i make cutout art from gels i steal from work and stick them to my windows and do paintings in my living room just for me #because that it the only way you are ever going to be able to retain your original love of art #is by doing it for the sake of doing it #not for the sake of seeing how many people stop and stare #anyways i'm sorry if this sounds terse #but i'm so sick of seeing artists put all their self-esteem and happiness in the hands of a blogging website #stop selling yourself short by measuring your self worth by how many reblogs you get and what people say in the tags #your artistry and your happiness are worth more than that #if you're an artist for a living that's another story #but even then #even then #anyways sorry i'm done ranting

mustard on the beat, ho- MUSTAAAAAAAAAAAAARD Someone make it stop, make it fucking stop. I spent all week hyping myself up to gather up all my work sketches like a scrapbook and clean it all up to post here, and then Kendrick had to surprise drop on a Friday morning and ruin my work day and my headspace all weekend long.

Anyway, here's a dangerous dreams sketch dump.

It's been a long quiet, but RL had taken such a fucking toll that I had a real hard time finding the fucks to get creative. Who knows how much this past US presidential election will fuck up the entire rest of my life, but I'll take solace in finding community and in the little things and in Andor Season 2 and in the telling of The Stars.

Now that I got this out of the way, guess it's time to go fucking write some fucking words.

#shirozora draws #dinluke #lukedin #skydalorian #din djarin #luke skywalker #grogu #story: the stars #series: dangerous dreams #the mandalorian #star wars #how many more tags do i need?#anyway MUSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD #istg this album has just taken over my entire brain #random snippets of every single song from this album keep playing in my head when i'm not actively listening #interrupted by MUSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD #i'm gonna laugh so hard if he screams mustard's name during the super bowl half-time show #and then 'mustard on the beat ho'#and let the audience sing all the words he probably had to censor out himself #also set up a second freshwater tank to eventually house a betta along with the shrimp culls so that's also been my life #and also locked down my twitter account and moved to bsky #been reposting art to bsky since i took everything down over in melon husks' echo chamber #keep your AI off my doodles you apartheiding fuckhead #time to climb back into this sandbox and work on the next chapter

many people are afraid to be real lovers. dan and phil are not

#trying to decide whether I should elaborate or not #yes they’re friends soulmates turtles ranch everlasting pieces of furniture #but they are also lovers #they love each other #and that is real and it is beautiful how they’ve come to accept that they can unashamedly and openly love each other #it’s like when people say we don’t think of their content as couples content #bc they call themselves a couple of besties for the beautiful thing called the bit #but. they are a couple fr #if you asked me years ago I would think it’s so cringe to spend all your time with one person and be attached at the hip with them #but love can be so beautiful. i desire love and companionship #there’s nothing wrong with that and dnp have shown me how safe and comfortable and loving a relationship can be #not to be parasocial but sometimes I spiral thinking about the fact that I’m a normal person and will never be one half of a duo #living out their fun rich silly happy dream lives together after 15 years together #but like I’m a normal person. that will never happen #and that’s okay because love exists in other forms #this world is full of beautiful love stories #theirs just happens to be one that has been at the forefront of my mind for a decade #sorry for being weird!#yapping in the tags #dnp #dan and phil #phan #my thots

just came off my shift as an election judge and I honestly think we should make people do this. I support abolishing the draft, and I even think that jury duty can get complicated, but everyone in the country should be forced to learn about election procedure, then have to sit around for 14 hours and practice being customer service for democracy. I think that would fix us.

#is it fascinating scintillating work that will set you on fire for political discourse? no.#in my experience it is mostly making amiable conversation with elderly citizens #and occasionally complimenting people's penmanship #are some people....strange? absolutely yes.#and I heard even WEIRDER stories from my colleagues who were pollworkers before.#not even about the voters; about other pollworkers!#but I spent 14 hours (and some change) in a too-hot room half falling apart; I set up voting booths and counted colored tags #and was polite to everyone even the people who didn't talk or needed detailed explanations of every step.#I feel like it's victory enough.#anyway. enough on this subject! onto other things.#............................................at least until november when I'll do it again.#man's unending search for freedom

god of death ghost whose body is soft with fat, with rich organs and hot blood bc he gives himself to the dead as their final meal; glutting themselves on his body so they're full and content and feel safe as he leads them to the afterlife

he doesn’t hate them for their hunger; it was his idea to invite them to gorge themselves upon him, to conjure memories of smaller times, of warm hearths, soft blankets and whispered lullabies and drifting off to sleep with full bellies

he just turns away as they cross into the great light so they don’t see the flesh reforming over his gnawed bones

johnny the fallen soldier, the child left to the cold of war. johnny who refuses to feast. he was raised to always respect and never take from the dead. he’s shared too many final breaths, dribbled water between too many trembling lips to bear to take from death himself; not even blood offered freely to slake his own thirst

but ghost can't bring himself to lead the hungry to the afterlife, can't leave him to be an empty starved thing; certainly not this soul who burns so bright with lives comforted before their gentle end. before they met him

so they stay together, guiding souls to the beyond; johnny the friend welcoming them to their final meal

ghost keeps trying to convince johnny to partake when he nourishes the hungry and wayward souls but he never does; instead he watches over him as he's feasted upon and cleans the leftover blood from his renewed skin as penance for rejecting a god

he never lets a single drop touch his lips, not when it means abandoning the ever-sacrificial ghost who will never admit to the loneliness of being taken but never kept

but the human soul isn't meant to linger in this in between purgatory; isn't meant to stay in the gaps between thought that the gods belong in and soap grows weak, struggling to cling to this half-life as his soul fades, a solitary dying light in the abyss. nothing stops him from passing into the beyond, from fleeing this dark place stealing his strength

nothing but an unspoken promise

so the god cradles him in his arms; gives him the same comfort he's watched him give to the other fallen. ghost watches the only being who's ever wanted him but refused to take from him slowly slip away

and he can't let him go

he brings johnny to his breast and uses his nail to carve into his flesh; thick, rich blood welling up behind it. he forces himself to ignore johnny's weak begging; his voice hoarse and faltering as he tries to struggle out of his arms but he is no match for ghost

and he can do nothing but look at him with betrayal stinging his eyes as ghost gently caresses his bloodied thumb over his inner lip, a touch he's longed for, and feels the cruel spark of warmth as his tongue touches life

johnny has been fed

ghost can bring him to the afterlife

and he’ll be alive to hate him for it

#have i played mouthwashing? no but it has been all over so my dash so im blaming that for whatever this is #soft stop putting half the story in the tags challenge part deux #at least i caught myself this time #i wanted to do a full tit sucking blood = life moment but i didnt know if tumblr was ready for that #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #we’re a team. ghost team #soapghost #ghostsoap #ghoap #simon ghost riley #ghost cod #ghost call of duty #john soap mactavish #soap cod #soap call of duty #save post #cod mwii

I’m interested in seeing a Soap who survived Makarov with brain damage and some resulting issues—but by far the biggest problem is that Soap is absolutely, thoroughly, one hundred percent convinced that everything around him is just a figment of his imagination.

Everything. Even Ghost, the man he loves.

#Imagine dual POVs #From Ghost’s POV it’s kind of a slice of life/recovery story #From Soap’s POV it’s like psychological horror #He’s miserable because he still loves the “false” versions of the people he knew and he’s scared they’ll disappear #Bonus points if Soap refuses to tell Ghost any of this because he thinks it’ll shatter the illusion or something #I have a half finished thing written for this but it’s kinda bad and has no ending so it might stay in the drafts lmao #john soap mactavish #simon ghost riley #ghoap #soapghost #ghostsoap #call of duty #cod #lemonwrap’s misc tag

Hey do you think there's a deeper meaning or reason Spite looks just like Lucanis...

There's the scene by the fireplace and I picked up on how Lucanis closes his eyes as he turns his head to avoid looking at Spite...

It's like looking in a mirror, right, and your reflection is staring back as you deliberately hurt yourself with your words.

Lucanis, I think, is stuck in a cycle of 'It’s all I know.' 'It's what I'm good at.' But there's cracks there that hint this isn't who he wants to be...

"Death is my calling."

I don't think he actually believes that, but he has to tell himself that, right?

I don't think he's ever been given the chance to explore who he wants to be, he's just been told this is who he is...

Demons are bound when you 'tell' them what they are so loudly that it's all they can hear. They have to be what you want." But a spirit who evolves to become more of a "real person" is less malleable than a spirit and if they have the certainty of who they are and who they desire to be, they can resist binding entirely.

Did someone else bind the spirit to him by force? Corrupt its nature so fit the needs of the user?

If Spite was originally Love (as I've seen some people comment Love being the opposite of Spite) and they were forcibly bound to Lucanis for whatever reason, did that cause Love to twist into Spite?

I think we're going to have to heal both Lucanis and Spite from whatever grief or trauma they've been through, make him come to terms and accept whatever fucked up thing happened, so it sticks, and he stops just "wiping the slate clean".

He comes across to me as a guy who's just like going through the motions, and needs more of a push to change, for himself.

Nevertheless, it is not unheard of for spirits to evolve and become more "human" by coming to terms with grief, heal from being emotionally hurt, and thus be able to learn from what they endured. By coming to terms with grief, a spirit is able to grow as a person and not "wash clean" like a spirit."

Then I was reading up on spirit healers, and again, there's that same theme of trust here, the spirit trusting the 'mage' and also the loss of trust when being tricked by a benevolent spirit...

To gain the services of such benevolent and righteous beings requires that the mage earn their trust. Often this requires a series of trials to prove that the mage's goals are as noble as the spirit demands, though some mages have claimed to command the compliance of such spirits through sheer force of charisma.

So if Spite was Love, imagine if the trust was broken from the get-go, by whoever brought them over from the fade, that surely would cause Love to twist into Spite?

More than one tale exists of a spirit healer being fooled by a demon masquerading as a benevolent spirit, and inadvertently bringing them across the Veil... or being tricked into letting down their guard, and possessed.

On the flip side, Lucanis is not a mage(?) but if he needed help or something idk- and he was tricked and possessed that way - tricked by 'Love'? Owch, the loss of trust there...

Oh and if Spite just a spirit of Love that was corrupted by Lucanis' own feelings? Like how Justice twisted into Vengeance(?)

We know Lucanis is relearning how to trust, and he's a romantic.

How can you trust others If you don't trust yourself? Spite feels like intrusive thoughts made manifest... And how can you Love others if you have no Love left for yourself? Spite seems to be chipping away at Lucanis slowly... he looks so tired.

What exactly happened to him, I wonder, I can't wait to find out cause it's gonna hurt...
