6/2 Update: Security deposit has been paid!! Thank you so much to everyone for the help 💚 I still have to pull together all of June rent for my current place which is $675. Thank you everyone for all of the help so far 💚

I’m asking for help with June rent, which is $675 and needs to be paid ASAP.

Cashapp https://cash.app/clawshot

venmo https://venmo.com/rmck89

ko-fi https://ko-fi.com/roebeanstalk

Any help at all is super appreciated. Every dollar adds up, and shares are so helpful too. I know that I’ve received so much help from people in the past and I can’t thank you all enough. I hope that this is the last of these that I have to do.

Needs:

June rent: $23/$675

Security Deposit: $495/495 Paid 💚

Bonus:

July rent (First month at new place): $495

Movers + Uhaul: $300-350

More info on my situation under the cut!

Thank you so, so so much.

I have a history of mental health issues, and as a result I have a very difficult time getting and maintaining employment. My mental health also impacts my ability to keep up with and complete freelance/commission work in a timely manner. While I have made some incredible steps forward lately thanks to the right combo of therapy, medication, and a support system, I am still not at a point where I am self-sufficient yet. I am getting there – and I am committed to keep trying no matter what.

Original post blurb, taken out of main post since deposit has been paid:

My landlord has decided not to move forward with me as a tenant due to my history with payment/mental health. While this is frustrating as heck, it’s allowed me to find a better, more affordable housing situation. I have signed a lease at a new place and move in July 1st!Once the deposit is paid, my space on the lease is officially secured and I am good to go. This is the main thing that I am looking for help with.

Why I need help:

This new housing situation is incredible for me – it’s a room in a quiet house with two other queer folk, and the rent is very affordable compared to my current situation. The new place is $485/month, the current place is $675/month. Even with utilities, my total overhead for shelter will cost less than rent at my current place. If I can secure my spot in this house and move forward, I see such a clear path forward for me in terms of self-improvement and self-sufficiency.

For the first time in 15 years, I feel like I can tackle the things ahead of me. If you’re able to help out I would really, really appreciate it.

What I’m doing:

I am job hunting for something that works well for my situation. With the cost of rent, I think that a part time job will be able to cover it. The process of getting a job is difficult for me, but I am committed to continuing to work at it.

On the art front, I have occasional comic coloring jobs that help me out. I also have commissions – I have finally been moving forward at a good rate and have been really happy with my work. In time, this will be able to be a more standard income route. I also have a Patreon that brings in about $65/month.

Thank you so much for reading over all of this. Thank you to everyone who has helped with donations or kind words or reblogs. Thank you so much to every commissioner and customer who has been patient as hell with me on artwork, communication, and stickers. Thank you thank you thank you. Thanks to every single one of you I have been able to keep pushing myself forward, and I'm so happy to keep doing it and make good on everything. And eventually, give back to my community. I love you all so much, even though i don't know any of you that well. Thank youuuu. <3

2024.12.05 Ruki IG stories:

(1) Feel free to ask questions or chat every once in a while 👽🔥

(2) Ruki Update. The sample stickers are so cute, I had to stick one on. Might edit them and release them someday. 🤲

(3) Ruki Update, Part 2. Surrounded by the best staff, we had a great photoshoot. 👏 This story is a long one, so I’ll post about it in the future. 📨📮

(4) Look forward to lots of things in December, too! 🔥

On Twitter: "Just now, I opened up my Instagram stories for some questions and casual chat after a long time. Let me hear what you think 👨‍🚀📨"

1) Q: What kind of work have you been doing lately?

A: I’ve been working on music production, next year’s tour merchandise, and things beyond that. I’ve also been continuously working on NIL since summer. Right now, I feel like staying active rather than resting brings more fruitful results, and above all, it keeps my mind feeling healthy. 🍁

2) Q: Have you been anywhere on a walk recently?

A: In the second half of this year, I’ve often taken the time to visit various places.🚶 There were many memorable spots, so I’ll make another post about them before the year ends. 📨📮

3) Q: Have you been to any art museums recently?

A: There’s one I want to go to, but it hasn’t started yet. It’s something I’m really looking forward to.🖼️ If you have any recommendations, let me know 🙌

4) Q: Do you ever feel like you have the “professional disease”?

[Background image is from Chainsaw Man manga chapter 180 and reads "Uh-oh. It's almost time. This is it. I'm losing it. I'm going crazy, so you can disappear now"]

A: Pretty much my whole life.

5) Q: Do you think you'll get another pup?

A: No, I can't. I still haven't been able to throw away his bed. One of my goals is to completely change the interior of my house next year.

6) Q: Thank you for the story mentioning letters. You even included Hong Kong—thank you so much. It made me really happy.

A: I’m truly happy and grateful to receive letters from all over the world. I spent hours reading them. Please feel free to send more! 📮

7) Q: I'm looking forward to the new NIL products ♪ What will they be?

A: This year, I couldn’t switch out my wardrobe with the seasons, so I made items I want to wear right now. I also didn’t get a chance to change my interior decor, so I created things that can easily change the atmosphere and vibe of a home. Additionally, I wanted to capture "my current self," in a tangible way, so I completely shifted my mindset during the design process. It ended up being meaningful for me personally, and I felt happiness in being able to preserve it in this form. This was my 11th production overall. I’ll share more about it in a post later! 📮

8) Q: Thanks to my husband, I’ve become completely hooked ♡ I recently joined HERESY, and in March, I’ll be attending my first live show.

A: Just about a month and a half left until I get to see you all. Please tell everyone I look forward to seeing you in March😎

9) Q: What’s your current motivation for living?

A: You guys. This will never change, so don’t make me say it over and over again. 🤝🙆‍♂️

10) Q: It’s hard to recognize the moments when your heart regains its strength, isn’t it? But just breathing makes everyone amazing and a genius.

A: Even if you know it in your head, we’re not robots, it’s natural for emotions to have ups and downs. 🤝 There are no numbers written on your face telling you how much energy you have today, your age, your weight, or anything like that. That’s why I hope you don’t worry too much about what other people think and instead cherish the time you spend enjoying the things you love. This year, I’ve felt that it’s important to prioritize that for myself as well. Let’s make the most of the remaining month together and have wonderful days ahead. 🍁

On Twitter:

"I answered a few questions, but why do I keep getting asked about my favorite miso soup and oden ingredients? 🍲"

"Thank you for sharing what you're working hard on or what you're struggling to overcome. I’ll find time to respond to all of them and I plan to save it in my highlights."

"It's about time I get back to work 👨‍🚀"

11) Q: Ruki-san, let's go for a Harley ride lol

A: Rather than that, let's make glasses together again lol 🤝 inari_tsuchiya

12) Q: How do you deal with people whose personalities don’t align with yours?

A: Looking back, I’ve somehow managed to climb to a position where I don’t have to interact with such people. Even so, when I must engage with people in those environments, I try to respect them, thinking they probably have many sides I don’t know about. But I still keep a certain distance and avoid getting too close. Also, to put it simply, I don’t have the time to think about people I don’t get along with.

13) Q: I’m moving at a snail’s pace, but once I’m mentally ready, I will definitely go to another live show.

A: I’ll always be waiting for you. I’ve also received a lot of messages asking, “When is the world tour?” That’s definitely something I want to make happen in the near future. Come see me, because I’ll be coming to see you too🏃

[amethystfairy1]

hiya it’s been a hot minute since I sent an ask but I want you to know that I’ve been reading all your stuff for months now, refreshing multiple times a day bc I can’t get enough and I adore everything you write <3<3<3 I think your more recent writing with the darker themes is well done, it adds the perfect amount of angst and stakes to the story, more than vague threats of getting hurt, esp in the under city, but it’s not too much at the same time. Also your newest TT treebark is probs my favorite fic thus far, and treebark isn’t even my favorite ship lmao. It’s so arghhh yesss with Rens acting but Martyn can’t tell nooooo 😭 I REALLY want to know what Ren was thinking that whole time negotiating with the bandits, esp when he finally looked at Martyn bc he could probably hear his cries the whole time and UGH it breaks my heart in a good way. AND MARTYN ACCEPTING THAT REN WOULD DO THIS, AND FORGIVING HIM????? The angst, the FEELS. Stunning. A masterpiece. I start my days checking to see if you’ve posted I’m so obsessed XD. Might have to draw the scene… anyhow. I see you get a lot of requests to write certain ships now bc all the stories r so captivating we just HAVE to know more. But. I hope you don’t feel pressured or stressed about it, make sure to prioritize your own wants first. The quality is worth the wait <3 that said, I’m going insane over Martyn. oH also!!! Ren grabbing the wolf pendant!!!!!! He knows how much it means to Martyn my HEART they’re so AAAaAAaAaaaaA!! And he waited until he was between Martyn and the bandits to attack! To protect him! 🥺🥺🥺 the little details are so sweet I’m dying to know rens thoughts. He probably has the rage of a thousand suns in him after seeing Martyn tied up, hurt, crying, bc they would DARE lay a finger on the only one who protected him, who was nice to him. Just. Tomorrow can’t come fast enough. I’m def gonna draw this. Also side note love the new pfp

Hello!!!! Good to see you!!!!

I'm so glad you're still reading and enjoying my works!

Also very happy to hear you're enjoying the darker themes that have been coming up recently in both TTSBC and TT! You're exactly right, that's exactly the sort of thing I was trying to nail...oh yeah ANGST with Treebark right now!

I mean. If you feel inspired. I would LOVE if you drew this scene. Because like, I have that art you did of Ren asleep on Martyn's shoulder as the cover image to my Treebark fanfic doc 🥹

Thank youuuu I appreciate the thought about not feeling pressured or stressed, I promise I'm not! I know everyone is just excited for their favorite/most compelling storyline to continue! And like I've said elsewhere, I plan to stick to my mantra...when I try to write something I'm not in the mood to write, I burn out and don't feel like writing at all. That's what happened to me the last time I stopped writing, and I didn't post at all for nearly a year. I HATED THAT. So TTSBC and TT is the perfect situation for me! Lots of ships, lots of characters, lots of dynamics, and between the two I can write BASICALLY anything I feel like at any point in time! So yeah! I'll write what I feel like writing in the moment, because that's always when I come up with my best stuff!

THE WOLFS PENDANT YUP GOOD CATCH. Ren's a good guy, he pays attention to that sort of thing 💖

I'm glad you like my new pfp!!! I love it! It's by my same friend who drew my old pfp, but THIS one is of an original character of mine everyone who reads TTSBC is very familiar with and people very scared of, but I assure you, any resemblance to characters previously mentioned is purely coincidental, hypotheticals should be, should be, should be dismissed, and there is no need to be concerned. 😉

Thank you for coming by again!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR ! I’m a little late but I sadly slept through the entire New Years due to the curse (anytime i fly in a plane when I land I immediately get sick) but I’m awake now !

it’s been an entire year since the last new years ask I sent which is mind blowing! i feel as if this year has gone by rather quickly.

in any case, seeing your art has made my year better than it would’ve been without it!! I’m in love with your oc’s and storylines and STEM YURI!! I love stem in fact my sister has just graduated from a stem major!! she would take me to her classes sometimes and I’d get to see things like having to sequence/code a specific gene in a plant.. she did not figure it out but only 2 people did so alas.. I love stem and I’m curious as to what specifically her future “job” or career is? out of pure curiosity.. I’m personally interested in the chemistry part of stem (like the making of pharmaceuticals) and medicine in general.

i feel like you’re drawing things you like and that’s so great to see!! i love when artists like what they’re doing. as always your storylines and character design has helped me to better my own art and lore (don’t fret! I am not copying) and I’m hoping to start posting it once I finish all twenty character designs (it’s ruining my life)

i hope to read your webcomic when it is finished!! or started I guess would be better wording. I’m so excited to see what you post and create, please never stop!! happy new year and I hope your 2025 is amazing!! :}

ISOPOD‼️ HAPPY NEW YEARS 🎉🎉🎉

It’s been so long, I hope you’ve been well (besides u getting sick oml 😭)!!!

This year went by so quickly, I still vividly remember getting ur last new years ask and showing it off to everyone in the room!!! Your letters are always so encouraging I really feel blessed that someone would put so much effort into sending me such sweet words 🥺 thank u <33

Also congratulations to ur sister!!!! That’s a huge feat, STEM majors are really put through the wringer in college! Here’s to her getting the job of her dreams !!

As for Lena’s career goals, she wants to go into cancer/stem cell research! She lost her mom to breast cancer shortly after her younger brother was born, and has been raised by her single father ever since. Lena was 13 when this happened, and to cope with her grief, she focused all her energy into school. She got into a very prestigious high school and college, but after over a decade of putting her all into it, she’s now feeling extremely burnt out 💔

I’m also really happy that I’ve been drawing things for myself lately!! I think it’s the stress from college lol, I don’t have as much time or energy to worry about post interactions as much which is great!!!

But anyways, I hope you start to feel better soon :( !! Also I’d absolutely LOVE to see and hear abt ur characters, you definitely gotta show em to me when u finish!!!

manifesting discussion.

hi, everyone

I creates this blog to keep myself motivated while I master the art of manifestation. & hope that along the way I can help motivate & help others who are in a similar path in life as mine.😊

Now first thing. GREAT NEWS!! I received an email today about my student debt being cancelled because the university I attended committed fraud against it’s students, it was a whole mess & caused a lot of stress to a lot of us for years but it was resolved by a 6 billion dollar debt forgiveness & it feels amazing bc for a bit under a year now I have been affirming, scripting & listening to my affirmations while I sleep about “how wonderful it feels to be debt free” “isn’t it wonderful I have zero student loans” and other variations of them. & at times it felt like I wasn’t having any movement bc things seemed to get worst for me in terms of perceived debt outside my student loans & things seemed to only start to mount when this beautiful thing fell out of the blue. I know it has to have been my manifestation bc there really is no other explanation it feels amazing, honestly & I hope everyone else in this community can experience a big manifestation like mine really soon!

don’t lose hope! Your manifestation IS HAPPENING. Your affirmations/askfirmations, scripting, visualizations, any & all techniques you are doing consistent ARE WORKING. you ARE THE OPERANT POWER & are a MASTER MANIFESTOR. Don’t give up.

now second & final thing. Which is kind of silly but I am curious on what others think. I’ve been working on manifesting my dream home. A gorgeous 3 bedroom mid century modern townhouse I saw on Redfin. i fell in love with that place since I first saw it & have visualized myself living in multiple times, I feel each visualization growing clearer & stronger which makes me very happy & strengths my confidence in my belief that I will make that home my own soon enough.

now the place was pricy. At $1, 279,000 or something close to that. Which is wild but today I got a notification of the place getting a prize reduction from over a million to $995,000 which is still a lot, but it’s an improvement in prize, now I want to ask you guys. Do you think this counts as movement in my manifestation?

thanks for reading & interacting, I appreciate your thoughts & opinions a lot! & let me know if you want me to keep posting askfirmations? maybe suggest me askfirmation you’d like me to post? Or talk abt anything else you guys want In the manifestation realm. Specially law of assumption ☺️

New Years Resolutions

Make character introduction posts. I’ve been here since February and still haven’t formally introduced any of my characters.

Start leaving messages in the tags of all the beautiful art I reblog. This is going to be difficult because I don’t usually have translatable feeling about art so expect a lot of “augh so pretty” and “woah”s lmao. This will not be applying to already queued posts because there’s over 100, sorry.

Finish owed WIPs. There’s a big one that this is specifically about that has never left my mind but there’s also a few art party things that I never finished.

Do more GW2 art. Specifically of my own characters but I also want to get back into the art parties which I dropped out of the last half of the year due to art block.

Actually start getting character thoughts out of the abyss of my head and out into the world. I’d like to do more of those character ask games. I had some fun with them this year but I have a few still sitting around in my askbox lol.

Get around to making a character voice claim video. I’d settled on a few voices when everyone was doing those but video editing is the bane of my existence.

I only joined the GW2 tumblr community this year but I’ve loved being a part of it and seeing everyone’s beautiful art, amazing characters, and thoughts on lore and the game itself. It’s good to be a part of the community instead of just enjoying the game on my own.

I’ve finally dipped my toes into endgame group content with a wonderful group of people and I’d love to get to know you all more in the coming years.

I’m not really one to initiate conversation on my own, just know that if you ever want to chat about anything, I don’t bite!

Happy New Year!

[therudepickle]

Well, seems like I get too excited when I start to like someone and I invest too much time thinking about them 😂 sure I’m pretty damn lonely, but I’m content with it. We started to talk, but I think as the title says “feelings not mutual.” She’s such a beautiful person, but we’re far apart. She’s smart, funny, drop-dead -I’ll fight the whole world for you-gorgeous, but she’s also like way younger than I am 🥲 oh well right? I don’t know why she asked for my number honestly, I guess that’s where I’m confused. I mean I dated older women when I was younger too, but I think that’s different. How did I let myself think there could be more? Idiot central on my brain stem.

Shucks!

What I truly miss about a relationship/friendship is spending the time with someone and doing things together, even mundane things like grocery shopping to make sandwiches. I’ve spent most of the last decade being reserved. All the things I got excited to imagine doing with this person.. I gotta just do them myself!

Ideas so far : go hiking (hell if I get stuck in a crevice and die, that’s two birds with one stone, right?) Next, go downtown to paint the legal walls in the arts district. I really wanted to go ice skating or even regular skating, but I do that by myself sometimes anyway. She said, “you should go take a trip somewhere!” Because I have some days off, but it’s more so because it’s my Dad’s birthday and the first of his birthdays since he passed away. I took the days off because my Mom has been crying all week and I’m staying home to get some larger projects done around the house; like painting walls and climbing ladders to clean high-up which makes her happy, but like how happy could that really make her on my Dad’s birthday now that he’s gone? But hey, I’m joining a gym tomorrow, so that’s new I guess.

The real problem I have, my brother being an addict and continuing to relapse every few months. He was high when my Dad died, he was high as I was performing cpr on my Dad.. after we carried him to the floor.. he was high taking my Mom downstairs as she nearly died from her heart breaking (literally.) He was high the last time we saw my Dad to say goodbye after they pronounced him dead.. and he saw me close his eyes with my finger tips. He was high everyday my Mom was in the hospital- and he’s been high all this month and last month. He threw away five months sobriety because some girl moves back here and she (big surprise) gets high too. The most hurtful part is the lies.. and why lie when I already know the truth? I can see it, I can smell it, and god be damned if he doesn’t know that by now. More so it hurts watching him do the same to her. My mom said, “You were high when your Dad died and you’ll be high when I die! Won’t you?!”

She has always been so strong my whole life and it’s been devastating seeing her deteriorate in the last couple years. Honestly, if she’s gone I don’t know what I’d do, my whole life’s purpose has become caring for her and helping with bills, but really with my brother torturing her like this.. I mean, it just all feels so pointless. The last day I was at work, everyone knew I was down and out over something.. but how could I even say any of this to anybody? Why burden anybody with it besides some strangers who happen across a post this long and take the time to torture themselves with reading all of it? Lmao 🤣 (sorry if you made it this far.) Well.. till next time I guess, whenever I’m feeling stuck in between giving up and pushing through.. I’ll keep everyone updated 👍 *cricket chirping intensifies*

[july13th2004]

Happy Remaster Release Day!!! My copy of the Chosen Edition (Switch version) is probably not going to arrive until sometime next week, hopefully, so I won’t be able to play quite yet (I also want to take photos of it), but as I have some more fic writing to do (amongst other things), that’s perfectly all right with me.

Anyway, here’s a full screenshot of Sheena from the login bonus in Asteria that’s going on right now to celebrate the Remaster! I decided to place her against one of the cherry blossom backgrounds that I have from other characters in the game, since cherry blossom season is right around the corner in Japan and it does go very well with the obi on her outfit.

And I know most of you probably know about this quiz already, but I’m going to post about it anyway...

So there’s this character quiz, which you can find here (English, Japanese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese are the supported languages), where Colette asks you to first pick your favorite gel from Apple, Orange, or Lemon, and then she asks you a few more questions to determine which character you are. I think this quiz might include more than just the main cast too, as I think I’ve seen people get Mithos and Noishe over the last couple of days since this quiz has been out.

Anyway, it’s just a fun little game you can play if you’re curious about which character you might be, and I also think there’s new art for each character (I’ve mostly seen people get Kratos on Twitter, because I follow his Japanese tag, and I can’t recall seeing this official art of him before).

And then here’s a couple preview photos of the snow bunny plush I bought from a seller on Mercari that arrived a couple days ago. It’s so, so cute, and I can confirm that it’s squishy like mochi just like what the host of that YouTube video I linked to a couple weeks ago said, lol! Anyway, I’m going to take better photos of this and the other lottery merch I bought (which is most of the Kratos merch, lol) after I take some photos of the Yomiuri Land merch I bought a couple months ago (though I’m still waiting for a couple items I bought during the post-sale period, so it’ll probably be after that arrives).

Lastly, I just want to take a moment to thank everyone who participated in or supported the Countdown event this past month. It has been so wonderful seeing all of the fanart, fanfics, cosplay, and music that people have worked so hard on these last couple of months. It was also an honor for me to write a fanfic for such a large scale event like this, and I am so, so happy that many of you like what I wrote for this event. When I started posting my fanfics on here a little over three years ago, I had a ton of anxiety around whether any of you would actually like my writing, and I am so happy that many of you do. So I just want you all to know that I really appreciate the support that many of you have given me over these last three years since I’ve started posting my fanfics to this blog. Thank you all, so, so much!

another tag

today is a twofer brought to you by @buddyhollyscurls

1. Are you named after anyone?

No :^) people have asked me before if I was named after Princess Diana but. No it’s just the only other name my parents could agree on for a girl. I’m the second born in a set of twins with two older brothers, so my parents never anticipated having to name another girl until they got the news.

2. When was the last time you cried?

Couple days ago over pain and health anxiety.

3. Do you have kids?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no. But I have four chickens that I love dearly.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

I’m generally pretty witty and jovial but I’d say I’m less sarcastic than just silly and goofy. I’m not one of those people that sees sarcasm as the funniest sort of humor; I use it sparingly. I prefer to be the joke.

5. What sports do you play/have played?

NONE lol. But watching swordfights in Shakespeare plays recently (and also a cute artist’s model I used to have a crush on) has made me have passing thoughts of “what if I tried fencing...” (never gonna happen though, especially not now with my health being what it is)

6. What's the first thing you notice about people?

Physically or personality-wise? If someone meets me in real life they probably notice my red hair, I suppose, since that’s a rather rare trait. But I don’t post my face all that much, especially not anymore, so it’s not like everyone who interacts with me here would first notice that. They probably notice my eclectic mix of interests and eccentric personality first. 

Although in real life I’m very reserved; I don’t share much of myself. People often pick up despite that though that I’m rather intelligent, and I don’t say that as though *I* think I’m exceptionally intelligent, but that is the way people treat me automatically sometimes when I’m not necessarily trying to show off. Idk it’s weird. I’ve always very much been the “quiet smart girl” when that’s not what I feel best represents me. It’s a very limiting role to be assigned. It’s like being written off, in a way.

7. What's your eye color?

Bleu, bleu, l’amour est bleu... 

(that is a Vicky Leandros song)

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Scary movies WITH happy endings. Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale.

9. Any special talents?

One could argue my poetry portrays some level of talent... cough follow @creatediana

10. Where were you born?

The Merrimack Valley region of New England. Miss Mary Mack Mack Mack all dressed in black black black. Fun fact that song is a reference to the Merrimack River and NOW YOU KNOW.

11. What are your hobbies?

Probably reading and writing are the major ones, but I’ve also enjoyed a lot of music in my life (both playing it and listening to it... but I’ve always been better at listening than playing). Acting and theater for a very short stint, although I wouldn’t be opposed to doing it ever again under the *very correct* circumstances (which would basically have to fall in my lap because I’m never seeking that shit out again). 

12. Do you have any pet?

My doggy Dickens who is a little bastard fucker and also my sweetheart. Dickens ‘n chickens.

13. How tall are you?

5′7″ but... I can get on my knees if you need me to be smaller

14. Favorite subject in school?

I loved all of them, truly. Especially in college, my enjoyment depended a lot more on the enthusiasm of my professor than the subject. But one thing I’ve learned to love more in recent years is science and the visual arts. Those always eluded me when I was younger. But back in the day my favorite classes were theater, English, Spanish, history, and my guitar classes. Typical humanities girly.

15. Dream job?

Job? Fuck you, pay me. 

I’m a schoolteacher.

I would like it better if it had more financial incentives and if there weren’t so many systemic failures in the education system.

I tag: uhhmmm let me see... I’ll do @sneez @david-watts @dylaissante @angelblooms @personshapedsplder @titoro @shecomesincolors @nebylitsa @porsiempretriste and @renjunnipeikko .... if you can HANDLE IT 

(or just if you want to)

(anyone can do this actually and tag me back I love you guys xoxox)

[candys-writing-blog]

I am fleeing my home.

If you’ve been following me for a while, then you probably know that I’m from Ohio, and I hate it here. Ohio was already a pretty bad place to live for trans people, and over the past few months, it’s gotten a lot worse. On the 27th of November 2024, Governor Mike DeWine signed Senate Bill 104 into law. This law, when it takes effect on the 25th of February 2025, will force all Ohio students, whether they be in primary schools, secondary schools, or facilities of higher education, to use the restroom that aligns with their sex assigned at birth, with the exception of gender-neutral and family restrooms. 

This law, which has been dubbed the “Protect All Students” Act, will not protect students but put the most vulnerable members of our schools into extremely dangerous scenarios. If a trans student is forced to use the restroom that aligns with their sex assigned at birth, then they will be forced into a position where they are at a higher risk of bullying, harassment, and assault. 

I’ve been taking estrogen for over a year now. I’ve been presenting as a woman in public since before my first dose. I look like a woman. Everyone who knows me knows me as a woman. There is no way I am ever using the men's room again because I don’t want to get beat up or raped. However, if I’m not allowed to use the women’s room either, then my only option is to use a gender-neutral or family restroom. At the school I’m currently attending, Youngstown State University, there are only two gender-neutral restrooms on campus. That means if I’m in the art building, Bliss Hall, for example, I would have to take a 10+ minute walk all the way across campus in potentially hazardous weather just to use the restroom. Something that any cisgender student can do by simply walking down the hall. Either that or I’d have to hold it for the entire 30-minute drive home. 

Does anyone else feel like these assholes are just blatantly trying to kill off us trans people, or is that just me? Honestly, I don’t even get why bathrooms are segregated by gender in the first place. Just make all of the bathrooms single-stall with floor-to-ceiling walls instead of those dumb stalls with giant gaps that anyone can peer through, and I think everyone will be a lot happier!

Anyway, the fact that this law has passed, as well as America's current political climate in general, are the reasons why I will be packing up all of my belongings, leaving the little 5-acre plot of woods that’s been my home for my entire life, and moving all the way across the country to live with my partner in California, where I will be able to attend a school in an environment I feel safe in. It’ll be a lot of work. I’ll have to get a part-time job to afford rent and apply for as many scholarships as possible. In fact, this post is for one of the scholarships I’m trying to get; https://www.onlinedegree.com/transgender-first-scholarship/ if anyone else needs it. With having to balance a job and classes for the first time, I expect that I’ll be too busy to stream for a long while, at the very least, not until I get settled into my new normal, but I hope to continue writing my stories during this time. I am still going to be studying Creative Writing after all. I think that’s all I’ve got to say for now. Thanks for sticking with me, and stay safe y’all. Happy Holidays.

Art Klaudt: The Facebook group "Big Gucci Gang"

Anonymous 1: autism diagnosis

ava: got sent to a PHP for a few months due to undiagnosed-autism-fueled school avoidance. the bus ride was long and scenic, the other kids were cool and interesting, and crucially, i had no homework, so the place became a bit of a safe haven for me. but the best part about it was getting into david bowie. he had died very recently so i thought it about time. i spent every bus ride there and back sitting alone staring out the window and listening to his discography in order, one album at a time, until i’d made it through all 26 or whatever the number is. those bus rides are some of the happiest and most fulfilling and inspiring memories i have. it changed my whole understanding of the world and myself.

kate: The day after Trump was elected I went to the gym even though I was a little scared to. And yeah there was a guy in a MAGA shirt there. Probably more people as well who were Trump supporters, considering it was Texas. But nothing really happened. I had started working out during a summer internship where everyone I was rooming with would go to the gym together after work, and kept up the habit after I finished it. I was thinking, my body is the only thing I really have any control over. And I bet it's capable of things I've never really even tried. So I would work out just to feel in control of something when it seemed like the whole world had gone insane.

Anonymous 2: the girl i had spent most of my time in high school in a difficult / tumultuous friendship with pulling me behind a pillar in the hallway to show me the scars on her thighs under her dress. probably the most sincere intimacy i had been shown at that point in my life & it made my heart race

Lucas: I remember watching political yt content, extra anti she type, and it was more prevalent because the election

Anonymous 3: I don't particularly recall anything from this year apart from the banality of political news upsetting me.

Anonymous 4: My first soccer season ever

Anonymous 5: A decision made on a sunny day

superswag: Trump anaguration

v0w0v: The formation of the high school band. It started in a classroom setting, and was kept alive by friendship and ambition. My friend would write the chord progressions and I would write the lyrics and melody. It was so easy. It was so fun. It felt like anything was possible.

Anonymous 6: Listening to Motor Away while riding in a car across the Colorado Desert

Anonymous 7: my ocd arriving.

binnie: Definitely very hard to choose but since some of the others have been picked already, I'll say my introduction internet voice chat. Talking to friends online for hours at a time, staying up late to talk to friends, joining the skype chat you posted to tumblr... Mumble and skype definitely the both of them

Anonymous 8: Becoming more open and making new friends that would make me more confident

April M. Mildew: I am sitting in the green chair at my dad's place, owned by the great grandparents living in a nursing home, and I am talking to my first close friends on Kik. They were significantly older than me. While I wait for the next message I am drawing something on the free version of the app Artstudio on my iphone. It is a picture of my fursona. He is a grey wolf wearing a grey hoodie and standing in front of a peeling false happy backdrop with brick walls and smog poking out from behind it. It is very much an image drawn by a 12 year old. I tried to run away from home this year, that should probably be the more significant memory.

[sunnidaytrvls]

On my last visit to Osaka in March, my boyfriend and I wanted to celebrate our time there and it's coming to an end by splurging on a fancy coursed teppanyaki wagyu dinner. We had literally gambled on a random restaurant because it advertised olive milk feed beef. We did not know until after that it is the rarest and most expensive wagyu on the market and only 12 of the olive milk-fed cows raised on a small farm are slaughtered a year and this restaurant was one of very few who served it. It was hard to find the entrance at first, we walked in circles for 20 minutes almost giving up on finding it. When we finally found it after wandering in the rain, we made our way up to the 4th floor of a tall building and found ourselves entering an extremely small and intimate dining space with only two others (locals)  just finishing their meal. We were instantly so happy and excited, expecting a bustling, top-tier, fancy schmancy, tourist kind of place. I’ll save you the long preface and say that we were floored by our 6-course meal, and by the service we received from the Chef and the Sommelier, the only two who run the small restaurant. Before our leaving, I had exchanged information with the Sommelier and we spoke of keeping in touch until our next visit. 

Mutsumi and I became fast friends exchanging words and liking each other accomplishments and other posts on social media frequently. My only planned event aside from this study was to visit and have dinner there once again. So last weekend I boarded a 2 hour Shinkansen and made my way to stay overnight in Osaka with the goal to once again meet with my new friend and enjoy a delicious meal. With a tight schedule I requested a reservation at 5pm so I could make the evening train ride back to Tokyo the same day in order to regroup with my study. Mutsumi had informed me that the restaurant actually didn’t open until 6pm, I told her I could push it and that would be acceptable. She then informed me that I was a special guest and the Chef would like to open an hour early for me, and that he had prepared a special course as well. Delighted, I arrived at 5pm for my solo chefs table experience. I was greeted by their smiling faces and I was happy that they were just excited as I was. Mutsumi had shared with me that I was the only ever foreign guest to say they would return who actually had, and that I had coincidently arrived on their restaurants 6th birthday. This made the whole vibe even more exciting and delightful. Before we even got to the business of dinning we shared other updates in each others lives, Mutsumi working double as translator for me and the Chef since he doesn’t speak any English, and although she says hers is bad, she is actually very good. We often joke that her English is much better than my Japanese so she is much farther ahead of me. Bashfully she compliments me on my big brains and academic accomplishments, referring to my studies. 

As dinner is served Mutsumi carefully informs me of each ingredient and what part of Japan it derives from. In between my compliments of Oishii desu ne, the three of us continue our friendly conversation. They ask me where I’ve been in Tokyo, what I am learning about, and what my goals are for the future. I share the contexts of my studies and that my goal is to understand Japanese culture, language, identity, and perspective so that I can help make society more equal and better for everyone, here, at home, and elsewhere. They cheer telling me “Yatta, we believe in you.” The chef jokes that he wasn’t any good at school and that is why he became a cook. I tell him over and over that his talents are impeccable and that he deserves much recognition for the artful meals he prepares, truly a hidden gem. Mutsumi shares her dreams of traveling to California, and her vision of what the states are like. She asks me questions about how far away things are, what certain places are like. and what the best places I’ve visited at home are, as well as what I think of my country and how well-off we seem to be. 

At this point our conversation became quite serious as I shared honestly with her my feelings and opinions of home and why I am inspired to study what I do and work in the field that I work in. Although it is not the information she expected she tells me that she is happy to know how a “true American honestly thinks” and that she still wants to visit, which makes me glad. I ask her about her experiences in school. She tells me she was not a big fan of studying and was not very good. She really wants to study English and shared with me how frustrating it is to learn in the Japanese school system because everything is decided for you and the English is very scripted and in her opinion unhelpful. I appreciated her honesty as well in sharing her past experiences, and hopes for the future, returning the same respectful candidness I had given her in the answers to her questions. We continued to compare certain social conditions in Japan and America, giving both of us a more enlightened perspective on our home countries. 

After I completed my meal I stayed for another hour enjoying our conversation as local customers started to arrive bringing gifts for the restaurant in celebration of it’s birthday. I was sad to ask for my bill and having to leave their company as they compared me to the locals saying I am now just like their Japanese regulars and that I am a very special friend to them and the restaurant, which endearingly warmed my heart. I thanked them for being my friends in Japan and told them that they are very special friends to me as well. I told them I will be returning in September and will stay in contact during my time at home. The chef excitedly tells me he is going to have to work hard to deliver me a new menu next time I come, which made me feel so very appreciated when I appreciate them so much. I left with joy in my heart and a smile on my face as I cried my way to the Densha to make my way back to Tokyo. 

Until our next meeting I will be missing their unwavering hospitality and welcoming conversation…and that wagyu, cooked to perfection. 

I promise I will practice my Japanese so that Chef doesn’t get left out of one bit of the conversation.

[moemoemammon]

Following that "least favorite" request could we get their reactions to being to told that they're their favorite, but to not tell the other brothers so their feelings don't get hurt? Maybe because they relate to them the most or just get along really well. Thanks!

You're My Favorite! But Don't Tell the Others-

(Feat. GN!MC and the Demon Bros)

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

Lucifer

There are no words to explain the overwhelming satisfaction ion Lucifer’s face after you tell him that. Of course, it’s only natural that he would be your favorite, all things considered.

The Avatar of Pride won’t ever forget this moment. He carefully considers your words and agrees not to tell anyone, as much as he’d love to bring it up, because he knows more than anyone what kind of chaos would ensue should the others (especially Mammon) find out.

But they can tell something’s up when the eldest has been heard humming all day. He moves about the house with even more grace than usual, and hasn’t scowled even once.

But the REAL shocker was when Mammon tried hiding a bill right as Lucifer walked in... and the eldest let him off with a warning. A WARNING! The brothers thought the Devildom must’ve frozen over, but you and he knew different.

“MC, I would like you to accompany me to Le Pluvier this afternoon, once you've finished your studies. I've already made reservations, so be sure to get ready on time. I've made sure to consider the things you might like to eat, so I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself. Don't be late." "...I'm grinning? I don't know what you're talking about."

Mammon

The gigantic grin on Mammon’s face is so bright, it could rival the sun. You’ve seriously made his day. No, his year. Actually, he’s pretty sure he could ride this high for the next millennia! There’s nothing in this world that could dampen his spirits right now! 

He feels like he just won big at the casino! Of course he’s your favorite! He WAS your first demon, and now he’s gone and claimed his rightful spot as your number one! Good luck trying to keep him from saying anything. Mammon’s gonna throw it around in everyone’s faces for as long as he can milk it.

And you thought he was clingy before, just wait till you see how he treats you after hearing that. Despite always calling you his ‘servant’ or his ‘human’, you’d  think your roles were reversed. Mammon spoils you every chance he gets, buying you clothes and trinkets, filling the spaces in your room with the things he knows you like, monopolizing you completely until nearly everything you own is a gift from him.

Your words also help soothe that jealousy of his a little. Only a little, though. It’s easier to watch you talk to other demons when he knows he’ll always be your first man.

“Didja really have to stay after class that long? I know you were talkin' to that demon that lent you a book, but you outta ask ME for stuff! Tch... you're lucky I'm in a good mood today! But I guess I don't have to worry about some low level demon like that, seein' as I'm your favorite!"

Levi

Wait wait wait....Come again? Did you seriously just say what he think you said..? That had to be a mistake! Some kind of...uh..verbal typo! Because there’s absolutely, positively, NO WAY in all of the nine layers that he could be your favorite demon. And yet you still insist that you’re telling the truth, and Levi feels like he’s died and gone to heaven. 

Red faced and stammering up a storm, Levi looks like he might die. Is it really okay for a shut-in otaku to feel this giddy? Seriously, he hasn’t felt like this since he got his hands on a signed copy of a Ruri Hana audio drama! No no, this definitely beats that!

You’ve managed to inflate his nearly nonexistent ego, and now he feels like there’s nothing he can’t do! Maybe he could even go to Majolish right now?? THAT’S how good he’s feeling!

Almost as bad as Mammon in keeping it a secret. He doesn’t tell anyone right away, but they’re suspicious when they notice how much time he’s spending out of his room. And then when he and Mammon get in another petty argument, he drops the bomb that he’s your favorite demon in the entire Devildom, and you can guess how things go from there.

“Uuuoooo...!!!!! I've decided..! Since I've got a serious stat buff, I'm going to open a booth at the next convention coming up..! I'll sell my Ruri-chan fan art and spread her influence all over the Devildom! I'd never have the guts to do it normally, but I feel like I could do anything right now! Y-you'll go too, won't you MC?"

Satan

You nearly made this man spit tea all over his book, and now he’s coughing and spluttering and trying to figure out what could’ve prompted what he’s taking as a confession. You.. do realize what you’re saying, don’t you? And you know the kind of effect your words have on him?

Satan isn’t the type that wears his heart on his sleeve, so you have to look for his subtle expressions to tell how he’s feeling. But there’s nothing subtle about the redness of his ears and how he’s begging you not to look at him right now. For the sake of his sanity, give him a minute to recoup.

When he does recover, he agrees to keep it a secret for obvious reasons. And it’s hard to tell that he’s in a good mood, other than the fact that he hasn’t tried to pull any pranks on Lucifer lately. But Asmo sees all, and literally hounds him into spilling the tea.

He tells him a lie of course, but now the other brothers are noticing just how happy he is. Satan's smiling way too much today, isn't he? And he didn't even get mad when Beel got whipped cream on his jacket! Well, not THAT mad, anyway.

"Haaah... everyone's been harassing me all day, claiming I'm smiling a lot. I'm sure I look the same as I always do, but I'll admit that I've been happy ever since you told me that this morning. Wait.. you did think I've been grinning too, do you? I have??"

Asmo

Asmo always jokes about being your favorite and announces it as if the two of you are married, but when you actually confirm that his longing for you isn’t one sided, he ends up smearing lip balm across his cheek in shock. Did you... really say that just now? He knew it all along, but hearing it like that is just...!

Ooooh, he’s so happy he can hardly contain himself! Asmo throws his arms around you, peppering your face in kisses until you feel sticky from lip balm, wipes your face clean, then marks it up all over again. Good luck getting rid of him, because he might never let go.

Immediately posts it to Devilgram. Did you really think he’d let such a momentous occasion go unannounced? You must not have been paying attention to the kind of person he is! Asmo would put you on a pedestal in front of the world like a precious jewel if he were able, but this’ll have to do. He won’t hide his love at all!

Of course, the others don’t take too kindly to it, not that he cares. He never leaves your side, pampers you like crazy, and has even attempted to get you to move into his room. Lucifer put an immediate stop to that, though. Boo...

“I just can't get enough of you, MC! Just being near you gets me so excited that I can hardly stand it! You'll take responsibility for what you're doing to me, won't you? And in exchange, I'll take my time showing you just how much I love you. After all, you're my favorite, too!"

Beel

Beel never has a problem with choking while he eats, and it comes as naturally as breathing. Unfortunately neither of that applies right now, since you just made him choke on a meatball sub.

He usually takes your words with quiet acceptance, but this might be the most emotion you've ever witness from the stoic demon. His eyes are wider than that time that laid on an entire gingerbread mansion, sparkling up with such deep emotion you wouldn't be surprised if he cried. Instead he softens up and immediately embraces you.

...And doesn't let go. Sandwich long forgotten, he's been carrying you around all day, and ignoring any questions or protests from his brothers. Also insists on feeding you throughout the day. The food tastes better when he can enjoy it with you, so why not just bring you everywhere?

When he isn't carrying you, he's following you around subconsciously, either close up against you like a protective wall, or just far enough that you're within his line of sight. As far as not telling anyone, he... tells Belphie immediately. It was an accident though, since there's not much he keeps from his twin.

"MC, I won a meal ticket for Godevil Chocolatier. Let's get something for dessert today. Ah, you can get as much as you want, too. I really want to see what things you choose. They might become my favorites."

Belphie

There's nothing in this world that can wake Belphegor from his sleep, unless he allows it. No loud noises, no amount of shaking or smacking, and not even dragging him around the house. But the moment you whisper that he's your favorite demon, the Avatar of Sloth is wide awake.

Hey, you're not just saying weird things to get a reaction, are you? Because if so, this is a new level of cruel. Yet you confirm that you mean it and swear him into secrecy, and Belphie tries his best not to show how happy he is. A smile keeps creeping up on his face that he struggles to force down. It's annoying...

As funny as it’d be to tell everyone the news, he's good at keeping secrets. Instead, you've noticed that he's been sleeping a little less that before. When he does take one of his hundreds of naps, he finds some way to be closer to you. He's even been seen sleepwalking to your exact location somehow-

It's hard for him to believe that you're not teasing, though. How could HE be your favorite demon here? Belphie doesn't do anything special to win you over, yet after everything he put you through, you like him enough to deep him your favorite?

"You're weird, MC. I mean... me? I won't deny that I'm really happy though, but I guess I'm in disbelief. You should spoil me even more until I believe you. Lend me your lap for a few hours, okay?" "...I wonder what Lucifer would think if I told him, heheh."

Belated Christmas Presents

... because I have the time management skills of a potato.

Featuring:

Laivan from @asksavel​    I know I’m coming in at the tail end of the story, but what I see, I honestly really like. Looking forward to seeing more of it pop up on my dash!

Rai from @miles-of-muses​    Honestly, roleplaying with you is always pretty fun, even if we don’t really do it as often these days. Your worlds are all pretty interesting to read through.

Neo-Ka from @pokege-ne-project    It’s been a while since I’ve seen these characters in action and I’m excited to see what you have planned for them. You’ve been a great friend over the years, and I really appreciate that. Thanks, Liam.

Cipher from @themeowsticvigilante​    I didn’t see your post about your ruptured appendix until I started this project, but I’m hoping everything goes well! Even though we don’t interact much, I enjoy your characters. The world needs more Meowstics.

Snow from @ask-a-learning-ai    The interactions with Snow I read are pretty good, and while I’ve kind of been in and out of a slump, I’d be down for having our characters interact more in the future. I can definitely see Cherry and Snow being friends.

Mukudori from @ask-a-staravia    It’s pretty interesting to see a take on Legends Arceus that manages to spin it into a different world, but still similar enough to be recognized. Looking forward to seeing more stuff from you in the future.

Shiso from @shaymincafe    You've been a pretty great friend in the few years I've known you, and I always enjoy having our characters interact. I'd be down for hanging out with you and Peaches in FFXIV once I actually catch up.

Kuno + Cucumber from @teamnextgen   I haven't really known you for very long, nor have I really interacted much with you. You seem like a pretty good person, and I'd be down for hanging out at some point.

Luxu from @asktheisle​   I haven't really read your blog, but I enjoy your character designs and general art style. I've heard quite a few good things, so I decided to put this together.

Joule from @dailyashleighraichu Your art is simultaneously a source of serotonin, and pain. I see a bit of my past self in Joule with how she was treated by random people. For me, it didn't really get to that level, but I can empathize with her in some small way.

Elliot from @ask-elliotgang Admittedly, I haven't been able to go back and read through your blog yet, but I can tell there's a lot of work put into this. Figured it'd be a neat idea for Joule and Elliot's cards to be two halves of a larger card here.

Luca from @sphaeramjourney I swear I kept thinking your url is "seraphimjourney", but that's more on me. Your art is always really good and I love the effects in your pages. As with many things in the community, I'm late reading, but I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.

Anyway, Happy New Year everyone!! Here's hoping 2023 sucks less!

Also if any of these blogs would like the full size images, I can DM them on request.

BILE AND BLUE PANSIES

theend4’s supernatural poetry event

hey everyone!! egan here<33 

so…. i recently hit a follower milestone… and i want to say thank you!!! wtf fr!!!! i love all of you so so much. i’m still an internet baby, but i’ve been active in different fandoms since around 2017, and this past year has been one of my favorite fandom experiences ever. i’ve made some really good friends and gotten inspired by so many different artists, writers, and ideas. thanks so much for being on this crazy journey with me. 

SO WHAT?

one of my favorite things i got to do this year was share my poetry with you guys! it’s been an absolute joy to receive so many lovely messages from you saying how much you love my work. truly, your feedback means the world!

so, in honor of that, i’d like for you all to share your poetry with me! whether you’ve got 7 published poetry books or you’ve literally never even read any, i’d love for you to try your hand. 

OK, WHEN?

September 18—September 24th, 2022

ALRIGHT, NOW HOW DOES THIS WORK?

READ the poems in the prompts, and then think about what you like about them—themes, voices, characters, endings, beginnings, word choice, formatting, etc!—and do some brainstorming!

WRITE one or more poems inspired by the ones listed! when i'm inspired by a certain poet, i like to try out writing in their syntax, their mannerisms, or their subject matter. give it a go! (for example: richard siken breaks up his lines across the page. if you've never tried this, playing around with indentation can be a super fun way to break up your lines!)

POST your poem either as a screenshot, photo, or plain text post to tumblr. (note: please provide a transcription of your poem in the caption if you decide to upload a photo.)

CREDIT the author of the poem you were inspired by in the caption! i won't reblog poems that don't give credit to their inspirations.

TAG your post with #bluepansypoetry and @ me so I can share your lovely creations!

DO YOU HAVE READING RECOMMENDATIONS? PROMPTS EVEN?

i do!!! please find my list of all-time-fave recommendations of supernatural-esque poems that i love below!! each day of the event focuses on one poem as a “prompt” or inspiration, so please read them all to see which ones you like! i tried to include a variety of styles. GOOGLE DOC OF THE POEM PROMPTS HERE!

SCHEDULING NITTY-GRITTY

SEPT 18: “french novel,” ritchie hoffman

SEPT 19: “colosseum,” jericho brown

SEPT 20: “fragment 147,” sappho, translated by anne carson

SEPT 21: “cagnes sur mer 1950,” jorie graham

SEPT 22: “road music,” richard siken

SEPT 23: “telemachus,” ocean vuong

SEPT 24: “object permanence,” madeline cravens

BUT I'VE NEVER WRITTEN POETRY!

i hear you say. yes. i have never tried oil painting, but i would like to! i believe it's important to keep an open mind when practicing new arts—you're never going to be "good" right away of course. besides, my goal isn't to write "good" poetry. (ok, maybe a little.) but i write poetry because i feel like a wildfire when i do. i write poetry because i might die if i don't. art keeps us alive. words feed the soul. 

the best advice i’ve gotten about how to write poetry… is to read poetry. read bad poetry. read good poetry! and then sit down for a hot second somewhere and write. write for 8 minutes without stopping. you can write "i don't know what to write" 100 times over if that's all that comes to you. or you can write a play. describe the space around you. talk about what you had for lunch. something will come to you, i promise. and if it doesn't? gently put it away for now. there isn't any rush. you can come back tomorrow.

FINAL WORD

first: no hate speech! second: if you do create nsfw work, please tag it as such. i want everyone to be able to participate in this event safely. 

thank you once again for being on this journey with me, whether you arrived today or have been here since before i even got into supernatural, i love you all dearly. good luck, and happy creating!! 

also, if  you were curious, this event is based on my poem (and song) blue pansies! which you can find here, if you like!

LINK TO THE POEMS AGAIN!!

remember to tag your work with #bluepansypoetry, and happy writing!!!
