cant stop thinkin bout charles and erik readin together on the couch but instead of reading with him charles is listening to eriks thoughts while he reads. Live mind commentary ……..
#xmen#cherik#charles xavier#erik lehnsherr#snap chats#the rare time i post an idea of mine only because i really cant think of a way id draw this#usually i hoard my ideas cause i like surprising you guys but this aint really one i feel like drawing so. For You my friends#like i COULD but. idk just isnt particularly something im itching to draw it just seems cute#but anyways no chat let me cook alright hear me out cause i talk in my brain all the time while i read#sometimes i stop reading just to think about a bit i read yeah#i want charles to listen in on all of eriks side comments or observations he makes while reading something#like if he wanted to charles could read the whole book in less than five minutes- maybe shorter than that#and that aint fun that aint cool …. so time for Audible: Husband Edition. With Commentary#ITD BE SO COZY just hangin out by the fireplace …. maybe its snowin outisde … if snow even exists anymore atp#a light fire cracklin and the study SEEMS totally quiet otherwise and yet…..#charles has been locked in to erik’s off-the-cuff literary analysis and mild comments for the past twenty minutes. its simple but its bliss#charles doesnt have to worry about being seen as invasive .. he doesnt have to suppress his powers …#the rare occasion erik lets charles into his mind for somethin so innocent .. ive made myself sick i fear#see now i wanna try writing a fic but 1.) have written in years 2.) id have to really think hard on how erik would commentate on a book#hm…… actually i do wonder what erik’s commentary on The Fable of the Bees would be …..#IN ANY CASE. maybe - at the very least- i can draw cherik by the fireplce someday ….#thatd be cute … hm …. depends on if i get in the mood for it down the line#anyways i have to drive back to my dorm !!! boo !!!! so good night everyone !!!!!

hilarious that with each new day that passes a new bit of dirt from JD Vance's past gets discovered and plastered over the internet...it's almost as if this is why presidential campaigns have always announced their running mates well before the convention...so that if glaring issues with a candidate came to light quickly there would be time to replace them on the ticket before they were officially locked in...it's almost as if certain things in political campaigns were done for a reason, donald...because the very same critical failures had happened before...but no i'm sure you and your guys attempt to recreate a fantasy version of history while ignoring all the reasons that history was a disaster will work this time...because you are built different and the 10000th time trying fascism will work like a charm...
#us politics#politics tw#i view the MAGA movement like this:#the conservatives have been desperately trying to jam a square peg into a round hole for a very long time#and they keep trying because one of these times its GOT to work! a very long time ago they heard the hole was more squarelike#so if they just TRY hard enough it will work!#failing to understand that the hole has become weathered and changed over time and the solution they are trying#will never work (if it ever did)#and then donald trump comes along and looks at the square peg#lobs one of the corners off and proclaims 'this is a triangle! THIS will work! I am so smart!'#and everyone around him is like 'whoa! this guy gets it! he's a genius and understands the problem! he's our savior!'#ignoring the fact that the peg is not a fucking triangle. it's just a deformed square now#so its still not going to work. and even if it WAS a triangle it still wouldn't work because THE HOLE IS ROUND.#it's the same damn peg but it looks a little different so everyone thinks its a genius solution that is DEFINITELY going to work#so they're all excited! they're FINALLY going to prove those idiots trying different types of oval pegs wrong!#they were right all along and it just took donald trump to see it! thank goodness he came along!#but that's just it-- he WAS just COMING ALONG. he was just walking by and saw an opportunity. he never spent time trying to make pegs#all he did was saw a crowd and took a chance to break an already failing peg even further#but because the people were desperate and it was different enough it seemed revolutionary#and now some of the conservatives--who can still see that the 'triangle' peg isnt a triangle are starting to look around#and see that elsewhere there have been some who have forced a triangle into the center of the round hole#and these people think well what if we ACTUALLY tried a real triangle?#and it does not matter to them in the slightest that it will never be the true solution to filling the hole#they just want credit for solving the problem#and so they are going to back donald trump and when the time is right put a real triangle in his hand#while the people trying ovals are busy arguing over the right type of oval#and once the triangle has been jammed into that hole...well...#it is going to be really really hard to force out#anyway thats a long and complicated metaphor and i probably should have just put it in its own post aaaaaahgh#long story short dont be a fascist triangle alright

...
... Ah.
(wip progress + 'lineart' under read-more--)
portfest outfits are so cool looking,,,
#twst#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland port fest#floyd leech#art#ram's art#alright-! so i like port fest a lot-#mainly the aesthetics tbhhhhh#i'm biased i love water and aquatic themes and fish etc so its kinda obvious to me-#also!!! they play instruments!!!!!!!! look at them go!#unrelated never make me draw a saxophone again -#(i didn't even try and make this one 'realistic' because i . i cant draw a saxophone are u kidding me-#twst official artists show me your wayssss#also forgive the messy sketch extra underneath lol i am tireddddd#i just looked it up - high-end saxophone mouthpieces are made of something called ebonite-#apparently it's very durable - (though not. like SUPER tough like certain materials--)#I still think floyd could chew through anything if he tried hard enough so it's fineeee bitey boy 10/10#resin is used for less top tier saxophones - but he could definitely bite that easily too- win-win!#also also sorry rook i couldnt fit you in the sketch :[[[

Dream telling Hob about all his names when they meet again is sweet, but I think it would be funnier if he just didn't. Showed up 33 years late, immediately admitted they're friends, sits down, asks Hob about what he's been up to, forwards absolutely no information of his own until Hob tentatively asks him what happened, and the Stranger just goes "oh I was detained. It wasn't because of you that I didn't show up. I'm sorry" and doesn't elaborate. Hob thinks the friendship isn't actually solid enough to pry past the guy's very much too guarded eyes, so they keep on this charade of Hob Gadling and his Very Strange Friend. Dream doesn't even tell him he's not the one allowing him to keep living.
I have feelings about this I don't actually think the persevering anonimity is funnier, I think Dream cherishing Hob's willingness to call him friend just because he wants to and not because he knows him as Dream of the Endless with Hob actually just liking him as the Stranger and being distraught he didn't show up and then happy he did, is actually the sweetest scenario.
#the sandman#dream of the endless#hob gadling#sandman fanfiction#i would like a 30k+ words very slow burn platonic fic with Hob just going along with his strange friend#occasionally he crosses paths with people like mad hettie and johanna constantine that mention him and he just can't connect the dots#people also don't know hob's strange friend is dream bc hob describes him very charitably and other people just don't know dream like that#i also love the crossovers#good omens and supernatural and even shadowhunters#just hob having this weird Do Not Mess With This One mystic signal#and people freaking out because it's placed as to be a warning but an anonymous one#'wtf even can feel like this' and maybe only the higher ranking angels and demons have their suspicions#in the meanwhile hob is trying very hard to solidify the friendship enough that he can risk asking the stranger if he's actually alright#and if maybe he wants to talk about it#and does he know anything about ravens because hob has befriended this one raven and he thinks ravens would fit his aesthetic very well#the stranger had just decided to entertain hob's attempts at making him drink anything and he chokes on it

'how to write a good character arc' 'follow this act structure for your plot' 'best checklist for worldbuilding' 'the correct way to design a magic system' 'you're boring your readers with long descriptions' 'the correct amount of exposition' i don't know man. what if i do whatever the hell i want.
#I HAVE VERY STRONG BUT HARD TO ARTICULATE FEELINGS ABOUT THIS.#it's not that i don't appreciate any guides/ tips. okay. i just. am so tired.#of hearing the phrase 'there's a right way to write' wrapped in fancy terminology.#LIKE LISTEN LISTEN HEAR ME OUT.#take lord of the rings right.#'oh wow a classic!! the pinnacle of fantasy!! omg tolkein is a worldbuilding genius!!'#that's all well and good. alright. but how do you think tolkein approached it.#probably not with a 'this is the right amount of time to spend describing' mentality.#this man can will and has spent 15 pages talking about one (1) tree. or the obscure etymology of Minas Tirith.#im willing to bet he wasn't trying to fit any mould is what im trying to say right#he just wrote what he wanted !!!#the goal wasn't to cater to the reader!!!#and so much of the modern 'writing advice' contradicts the classics!#which isn't to say the classics are the end all be all of course#but it still counts for something that they stood the test of time and are considered a Big Deal#the point is.#or what im trying to say is that#if you're given advice on your art form that goes directly against what you're trying to do#and removes any element of enjoyment or what you consider to be a defining characteristic of your art#then just. don't do it.#like like#im not going to stop writing long ass winding descriptions of the setting my characters are in if it's something i like about my work#im not going to cut segments out of my dialogue that i think are funny/clever because im worried it'll confuse the reader#'b-but long descriptions/dialogue/infodumping about the magic system or worldbuilding/whatever the hell makes it tedious!!'#girl for who? because it sure as hell isn't tedious to me. im having the time of my life here#do NOT let me on this blog after 10 pm#writing#miss j's musings

!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#A great episode tbh especially given the low budget. I feel like they really did their very best#And even though what I'm going to say next is probably going to be all critic - because I nitpick things and that's what I always end up��#talking about - I still want to underline that it was a very solid and enjoyable episode!!!#Alright the ss/kk was so 💞💞💞 every scene I had to rewatch twice or thrice akhscbashfb they're so cute!!!#Except for the riding scene tho. That scene gives me massive second hand embarrassment every time I just wish it will end as fast as–#possible pffttt. Mmmmhhh... The drawings weren't even too bad all accounted. My main complain is about the quicksand scene...#I feel like that one should be a slow quiet emotional scene. I never licked the choice of using the song as background soundtrack :/#I feel like it ruins the mood of the scene (it was still good though)#I also... Generally don't like the direction they seem to go for with Akutagawa's character in the anime‚ he seems quite a bit flatter–#compared to how he is in the manga. He can't be angry and evil ALL the time you need to show that softness get through from time to time.#If not what even is the point of his character. Yet in the anime he's angry (and not distraught) when he loses the mine craft and he's–#angry when he's questioning Atsushi about his motifs and he's angry when he's bragging about Atsushi's abilities to Goncharov and he's–#angry when he makes the promise with Atsushi at the end of the episode and eventually he'll be just as angry even when telling Atsushi–#to run away as he's sacrificing his life for him. It is pretty flat at the end of the day.#If I can say something about K/ensho Ono without being killed I think they do contribute to making him feel angry all the time.#But that said it's all probably poor directing choices (or simply choices I don't agree with).#Also‚ about cuts. Usually I try to be lenient about it– I understand it's hard to fit in everything and b/sd already does a very–#good job by adapting the manga almost panel-by panel. It's just that... You skip Akutagawa showing compassion for Atsushi after the–#orphanage director died. You skip Atsushi sharing the same compassion when Akutagawa loses his targed in the mines chase. You skip the–#“Nothing special about that. // I suppose he's far crueler than my own mentor.” line. And sure each of them may be negligible by their own#But together they wave a consistent web of relationship between the two characters you know? And it's a loss to omit them all#Well no mind. Again it was still a great episode overall!!!!#I think the colors in the mines could have been prettier in the mines but we can't have it all#Off to season 4!!! Omg I can't believe we got this far :DDD#random rambles#FINALLY was able to catch up in time for the season 3 finale!!!!!!

I wish Inquisition kept failed dialogue options because there's something so perfect about them sometimes. + Some extra origin sketches
#warden aeducan#dragon age origins#bhelen aeducan#lord harrowmont#trian aeducan#gorim saelac#dragon age dwarves#Lisa was an evil playthrough for novelty that ended up becoming my canon worldstate#The person who doesn't try very hard to be good because their self view is already carved out by their environment got me alright#She's Eleanor Shellstrop basically#I enjoy Bhelen looking at his older brother and sister#Having to choose between drunken nihilist who thinks she's smarter than everyone and just wants to tinker with her toys#And eldest child of a king who gives bootstraps speeches to amputee homeless people#He's like “fuck it I'll kill them both”

#vent tag#alright I don’t know why I’m venting on main but if I keep screaming into the void I’ll only fuel my self destructiveness#this is kinda hard to read so uh warnings ahead#tw sh related#so um. I broke the promise I made to myself at 12#I cut all over my wrists. I’ve been cutting for years but told myself I’d never reach the wrists because that would’ve been my breaking poi#well.#I’ve reached it.#I’ve reached the breaking point#I keep pushing through doing everything that’s asked of me and not complaining z#with a smile. because better times are coming and I am the change I need#yadda yadda#try to stay positive because my life can be so great#but then I stay home.#with the source of all of my negativity.#and refuse to elaborate on it to my loved ones. because i already do it too much#and so many things happen to every single one of my friends all the time. so I have no right to talk#because it’s too much. and it only makes people feel all too bad for comfort#but I’m tired.#so much happens to me all the time too#even if it’s not as apparent as it can be#so I cut. and I keep stewing in my self hatred. and I keep shouldering what my parents tell me.#my father has been making it Very hard for me lately. he’s almost always the reason I cut these days#of course it’s not only him but that’s not the point#I keep hurting myself over and over because I can’t keep it together anymore#but I have to. my parents need me#my friends need me#I need myself to do the things I have to do#….friends now.#I have almost nobody.

what I absolutely should be doing: work
what I'm absolutely doing instead: clipping Aleksi's latest twitch stream so that I can stare at his Olli-smile over and over and over and over and--
also included: subtly changing the subject right after 🙄😂🤦
#yes very subtle aleksi (=not subtle at all)#not included 1) the tiniest hint of a smile when he notices olli is calling him 😭#2) the half a second moment of hesitation when he's probably thinking whether or not he should answer (please allu you know you wanna)#3) ''i'm not gonna answer 🙄'' yeah 'cuz you wanna be boyfriends without an audience it's alright ale we get it 😭#4) him trying to pull himself together as he texts olli back#(i can imagine it's hard trying not to smile when typing ''gonna call you right back babes love u 💗💞💓💖💕💖💞💓💗'' 🥺)#also i desperately want to know what olli replied to his first text#because come oooon if it was just ''yeah we should definitely do it'' aleksi wouldn't have smiled so sweetly 🥺#or maybe just seeing olli's name in his notifications brings out a reaction like that which is equally cute you know 😭#and yeah i know i'm being ridiculous hyper-analysing this lol glad you noticed#my life's boring what do you expect me to do#i'm gonna try and get some actualy work done now though so i won't hate myself on sunday evening 😂#ollixallu

there's a bewildering phenomenon where friends-- my DMs even, sometimes-- imply that I'm a Twenty Page Full Paragraphs Backstory Guy, and I very sincerely do not know how or why this happens when I have fifteen dnd blorbos whose backstories are all 'uhhhh they did. things. and they like stuff. and now they are here' like I am a simple idiot and the world's worst 'NO story ONLY concept' bitch are you KIDDING ME?? you've SEEN my backstory! you KNOW this!!!
#I fucking WISH I was a full novella backstory guy!! christ!! that'd be SO much better and more satisfying and interesting#having a solid background to draw from makes roleplaying so much better AND easier but I am so fucking bad at it#I come up with a guy I like and then work backwards usually just enough to justify them and y'all that is typically not very much#this post brought to you by me desperately trying to wring anything out of my brain for felix#because the one major backstory element he had originally was built collaboratively with my DM for her setting specifically#and new DM is not WORKING WITH ME on building it anew and by the nature of the thing I can't just do it by myself and say 'okay here'#so like. alright if I want anythiiiing for him I need to come up with some additional things I GUESS#aauughhh. HARD. I already came up with two whole things I just need the DM to place them in the setting 😩#about me#my OCs

youtubers b like "there's no direct evidence that this easily fake-able story was faked, but it was posted to r/nosleep,"
#cadaber seems alright but he did literally just do this fjfhdhhb#honey.... nosleep is deliberately a fiction sub. it feels wrong to call nosleep stories 'fake' bc most of them arent trying to be real#nosleep def commits to the bit a little too hard for my tastes though. very few nosleep stories are actually good#i feel kinda bad for cadaber though bc like. im sure hes not a total idiot. he probably knew the story was fiction/'fake'#but likely went ahead telling it anyways because youtube is a nightmare career and theres only so many real creepy stories out there#id call him morally bankrupt as a joke but the reason i know any of this at all is because he admitted it in his video that he thinks it#was probably fake#it wouldve been very easy to just not mention what sub it came from and id be like#Well That Definitely Sounds Fake Anyway . but yknow

#i had this whole post ive been trying to formulate for so so long. abt my issues w ceewilbur and ccwilburisms and#to clarify i do like cwilb he is one of my faves. ik it may seem i wanna bite his arm off smtimes and i Do but#its mostly bitterness directed to the stuff Around him if that makes sense. yk the response to lots abt him#the way the overcompensation abt how he can be villanized swinging into a state where he Cant and never Did and wrong and if you critique#or acknowledge it you get snipped at and demeaned and treated like its a targeted hit on the mentally ill when its like#a mild disagreement with one of the most popular characters in the fanbase Easily#and w cc wil i do think he is just sm guy. im sure he's a nice dude idrc abt the ccs usually but he seems alright enough even tho he has v#goofy ahh takes and opinions but that doesnt make you Evil#but when i dive into what really has made me feel so alienated and snippy its. llmao its the racism yeah lol its super very much the racism#its very very prevelent and very common and very unchallenged. and it like. upsets me so bad its why i keep bailing on making my actual#full detailed post abt it. cuz everytime i try to formulate my thoughts i just get upset and frustrated i wanna rip my hair out#its hard not to feel like im talking to a wall when its so common and unchecked and. ive seen rightful critiques of these spaces and how#ppl interact with them Openly Mocked and brushed aside and treated like 'petty sensative internet drama' that ppl need to 'just get over'#sorry man im a fucking 🇲��� i cant exactly log off and Stop Experiencing Racism. and sorry that me feeling alienated and tired and sad abt#it is an inconvenience for you llol#and like idk. im not upset w anyone in particular this isnt a call out post or vague who give a shit and.#eh maybe im stupid but i really really believe a lot of ppl arent doing it on purpose#its just bein parroted ik i get it but#am i rlly not allowed to be tired? why should it feel like my responsibility to hold ppls hand and go hey mb treat poc and darker skinned#ppl like ppl. maybe you should examine why you need so many things made palatable to you through conventionally attractive whiteness first#idk. idk!!! am i crazy who fucking knows#but it has been weighing on me stupid style so bad#the shrinking fanbase and primarily yk common stragglers has just. rlly felt like a magnifying glass to my already existing issues abt it#idk man. idk im tired and im at work its 100°+ and my head hurts so this is all yr getting. lea me alone#and again this isnt a vague who Cares. just wanted to get it off my chest finally#huri.txt#discourse#<- ig

The doctor I work for and the manager went together to my sister's school to get his hair cut 🤦♀️. If I wasn't so weirded out this would feel like a weird sitcom.
#the manager gave our offices business card to the receptionist and was like#we need a student to come cut his hair at our office so pass these around#and the receptionist was like these are students they cant do that legally#and threw them in the trash#anyway I have a job interview for a second job tomorrow because im very weirded out#and I dont feel comfortable at my workplace anymore so yeah#the hair cut has been an argument for weeks now its very bizarre#the manager is like the doctor cant go to the salon he'll be noticed and he needs someone to come to him#but also they need to be cheap#like youre too good to get your hair cut in a salon? alright weirdos#he didnt even tip the student like dude 🤦♀️#my sister was there and trying super hard not to be noticed by them 🥴
