NOT A HATE ANON DONT WORRY

im of two minds with vigcup, I don't ship it as hiccstrid was my first ever OTP and they were my first real "they better get together or ill do it myself" (FROM MEMORY) but it is a totally valid ship and viggo was hard core crushing on hiccup like- "my dear hiccup" all the damn time man-

At the same time i really dont get why people are so grouchy about it. You can just not ship something? no ones forcing anyone to ship it, and its not even like its a "problematic" ship (ew, ship and let ship unless its got real world consequences aka shipping real people) ? Like hiccup was what? 18-19? viggo was in his 30s (apparently, i think he was probably a lil younger headcanon wise) but like thats not even bad in fanfiction terms. There are wayyyyyy worse age gap relationships that are canon and far "grosser" (cough every "thousand-year-old male fay and barely legal girl" book ever cough)

in short, i have no issues with it but i don't ship it personally. i may read it now and then but meh.

idk i just wanted to say this somewhere lmao - @potato-for-the-venomous-vorpents

I mean, why attach morality to ships? A ship doesn’t have to be “healthy” to be a valid thing for someone to ship. They can be toxic and “problematic” and all sorts of other things. “I ship this” does not usually mean “I find this healthy and aspire for this irl.”

I just don’t like this idea of trying to prove that Vigcup isn’t problematic. It’s enemies to lovers, and can definitely be bad and toxic and wrong. I write it in a lot of different lights.

People get pearl clutchy about it because of the age gap and them being enemies. We don’t know Viggo’s canon age, but I would say probably late 30s, early 40s, and the pearl clutchers like to pretend that Hiccup isn’t an adult in RTTE, even though he is. But again, even if he wasn’t what the modern US considers an adult, it would be okay to ship because it’s fake.

It’s all fictional. It’s playing with dolls in our minds. No harm done.

(I’m sorry for the rant but I have been through so much shit over this ship and others. I’ve often been harassed for writing dark fic and for shipping the “wrong” thing or shipping the “wrong” way. People shouldn’t be harassed for what they ship, even if you find it personally disgusting/distasteful/what-have-you. You can’t say ship and let ship and then apply terms and caveats to it. Then you don’t truly mean “ship and let ship.”)

you should totally take a break! you’re an awesome creator, and i do really love your designs, ideas, and all of that but.. you clearly need one, what you were describing really sounds like burnout to me and if you don’t take a break now it’ll just get worse :(

I mean, a break sounds nice in theory I guess, but here’s the thing. These fankid requests are like, literally everything I do. They are my life

I can’t just not do them, they’re all I do. Like legit, how many drawings of anything other than fankids or other random OCs I’ve created have you seen me make in the past year, or at least since the fall? Barely any!

Not to mention I can barely draw anything else anymore. I can’t think of random stuff for characters to be doing that I can draw, I can’t draw anything that isn’t a Cookie anymore, and I don’t have the patience for nice art pieces anymore because I just want to post whatever one thing I’ve drawn instead of having some patience anymore. They’ve ruined me and yet it’s all I am, they’re the only thing I’m good at, it’s all I have. If I don’t draw them then I don’t draw

And also I’ll feel guilty about leaving people’s request to rot in the meantime. I still have a couple requests from last March, nearly a year ago now. I should make people wait longer than I already have?

So basically in conclusion, while taking a break sounds kind of nice, and it’d probably be for the best, I just can’t do that, or rather I won’t

U missed a spot

Is this cyberbullying?

I think this counts as cyberbulling

Hey I know people mean well when they reply things like "please remember to take care of yourself!!" when replying to me talking about getting work done, but also: have you considered........I need to do work.......to.......take care of myself........

Like I'm all about self-care and all that, but also, self-care isn't just taking the day off and bubble baths and buying gifts for yourself. It's also managing your time and making sure you get paid and make money. I know I'm constantly working on shit, but this IS how I make money TO take care of myself.

It's a small thing, but a slight adjustment of language, like saying "I hope you can find time to relax" really does go a long way.

It frustrates me when people see somebody doing something like singing really well and they say "oh wow you should be a singer!" Like not everybody is meant to do everything as a job. The world needs those people who shock everybody at karaoke with their powerful voice, the people in the back of class drawing beautiful faces instead if doing their work, the world needs the tumblr poets, the kids with piles of notebooks full of beautiful writing, the world needs these little pockets of joy in everyday life, the world needs proof that you don't have to make money from everything you enjoy.

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

okay so like Fearne and Chetney had a threesome with Chetney's ex Deanna in some haunted woods, and then Chetney offered up an open invitation for some "sexual healing" to anyone in the group, but like especially Orym and Ashton, and like, especially Ashton, who was kind of actually considering it. which is funny bc Ashton also has this flirtation with Fearne, and they just held hands naked in lava, which freaked Orym out because Orym and Fearne are best friends, and also he and Ashton have this emotional support rock, narrative parallels thing going on. Ashton has a similar thing with Laudna, but with significantly more bitching and significantly less intricate rituals and blatant ogling. and Laudna is very much shacked up with Imogen regardless, and if they were to open up their relationship to anyone it would absolutely be Fearne, who will probably ask them the second she finds out they're together, bc the only one they've actually told is Chetney, who is probably not Orym's dad but may be Orym's dad. which is a little weird, given that before this was suggested Chetney had sexually propositioned Orym multiple times, and Orym wasn't not interested, but this is somehow not the first time basically this exact thing has happened on this show. Fearne and Chetney tried to sleep with Orym's mom. FCG is also here. and actually got laid before any of these people, with FRIDA, who, funnily enough, is Deanna's best friend-

🪴In times when everything feels overwhelming and your inner world is heavy, know that your strength is not defined by how you feel. Even if today feels dark, you’re still a person of immense value and worth. Take things one moment at a time, and remember that your existence has a quiet resilience. You are doing your beset, and something to be proud of🪴

[quixoticprince]

Remember how Miss Pauling said she'd spent her whole life to help the administrator....

She didn't even know what she was helping with, but she wanted to be by her side, until she learned how deeply personal and self destructive the whole thing was... and in the end there never was going to be a 'place' set for her :^(

I'm so sorry Flo 😭

I have a feeling Johnny would try and set up Simon with one of his friends

like

“M’ tellin ya mate yer going tae like ‘er,” Johnny teased, bounding a couple steps in front of Simon, turning back to him and rocking back and forth on his heels, hands shoved into his pockets to protect them from the cold. As Price often quipped, the 'scott can't stand still for the life of him.'

“Mhm,” Simon just grumbled in response.

“See mate, That’s the attitude that scares all the girls away.” Johnny commented, hands outstretched and exaggerated.

“Whatever.” Simon huffed, shaking his head. Johnny wasn’t wrong, he couldn’t remember the last time he’d done anything with a girl that wasn’t a quick lay, and even then it had been months, not to mention going out on a proper date. Well, a date was a stretch, you were Johnny’s close friend for a couple years. He had heard of you, but never met you and now Johnny was insisting that he go on a date with you because he was convinced it was going to work well, Simon wasn’t convinced in the slightest.

“She’s real nice though- so put away the tough guy act big man- girls don’t like that.” Simon couldn’t believe he was getting dating advice from his sergeant, so he just doubled down and kept scowling but Johnny kept pressing. “I'm telling you she's a real sweet girl, kinda lass who would try tae make a crying baby laugh on the tube or go and feed some mangy stray dog, perfect for a prickly bastard like yerself.”

“Okay okay, Jesus. ’s not like ’m going to scare ‘er off on purpose.” Simon relented 

“You better not, gettin' laid might do ya' some good man, calm yer ass down a wee bit” Johnny chuckled

Simon would have yelled at him for that comment but his friend cut him off, “‘Kay we’re ‘ere,” Johnny chirped, “Gaz and his girl should be inside already and she’ll be ‘ere soon,” Johnny said, pushing his Lt. through the pub door.

Johnny had invited Kyle and his girlfriend for a kind of double date situation because he thought having another girl there would help you feel more comfortable, something Simon couldn’t argue with. Why Johnny’s single ass would be attending was a mystery.

and he's been playing both sides

“Ya like serious guys right?” Johnny had asked you out of the blue, a week or so prior while hanging out at your flat.

“Uh yeah sure? I mean I guess so, more than immature assholes like you.” You had joked back across the small kitchen.

“Well,” He had began, unphased by your teasing, “There’s this guy I work with-”

“Don’t even.” you cut him off

“Wha'?!” he whined

“Don’t try and set me up with one of your military bros,” you warned, “I’m not interested.”

“Jus' 'cause yer last dates 'ave been busts doesnae mean you shouldn't keep tryin’,” He pleaded, catching the sponge you threw at him, “He’s a real good guy, kinda intimidating but you’d like him, promise!”

You glared at him before going back and forth, Johnny was really trying to sell this guy, and he wasn’t wrong, your last three dates had been nothing short of disasters. So, after lots of pleading -and a couple tasteful photos from them at the gym- you agreed. So as you walked closer and closer to the pub, your nerves were buzzing. Just gotta get past his tough exterior is all, Johnny’s words of advice rang through your head. Thankfully he had invited another one of his friends there along with his girlfriend, you would have been hyperventilating if it was just going to be you and some guys. As you reached for the door, you could only hope Johnny was right about this guy.

So, who would be surprised when it actually works out, when Simon actually falls in love with you and your sweet smile at first site. When you find his corny and sometimes morbid jokes genuinely funny, having to cough around your drink to prevent spitting it out.

Johnny's just happy Simon might finally chill out, and he won't have to listen to you complain about failed dates every other week.

Empurata!Prowl tries to actually communicate for the first time

What if he wants to say something but he can’t. What if he has no voice to speak, no face to emote, no hands to write. What if every attempt to communicate a message is essentially a puzzle of wit and creativity and yet, the first thing he goes through all these troubles for. Is to say “I love you”?

Don’t ask me how did they get in this room. I have no idea. They escaped the battlefield somehow haha
