HEYYYY DOES ANYONE HAVE OCS I CAN DRAW! SONIC OR WACA! PLEASE!

[foldingfittedsheets]

You helped me realize that my bed was part of the reason my partner and I have been so sore lately. We are going to get a new mattress soon, and I really appreciate all the tips on what to look out for when buying a new one. Thank you for your public service and all the good you do in the world.

Literally everything I could wish for what I spread into the world is people thinking critically about whether their bed is still serving them well.

im speaking as someone who loves being a hater but if you exist in fandom solely to hate on other people and how they choose to experience the fandom.... what are you even doing?

WB158 I'M HUGGING YOU SO HARD ❤️😭

[whollyjoly]

Hi Em!! Thank you so much for putting together such an amazing ask game 🩵 I hope you’re doing well. Would you mind answering 1, 4, 17 and 25? Take care 🩵

hello hello my dear!! its been my absolute pleasure seeing everyone spread the good vibes, so im glad people are enjoying this 🥰

im sorry its so late, but here are my answers!

1 - what is your fav part about being in the fandom?

i wrote a super sappy and long answer here, but basically all of YOU is what makes this fandom the most fun to be a part of!

4 - whats a moodboard that you just want to live inside of?

ohhhhhhhh so many?? the moodboard creators in this fandom are fucking TOP TIER and i love all of them so much!! but here's a few that come to mind:

this christmas babe and gene moodboard by @footprintsinthesxnd is so comfy and so cozy and they deserve nice christmases okay!!

speaking of christmas moodboards, @onlyyouexisthere has this incredibly aesthetic board for some of our fav boys around christmas time, and i just want to live inside every single one okay??

this speirs moodboard by the one and only @xxluckystrike is so beautiful? like i love the combo of hard and soft edges (the bandage + the smoke + the chess), since i feel like that dichotomy isnt something thats always shown with speirs, but feels so true with his character. anyways i want to walk through a museum with blood on my knuckles and smoke in my lungs after looking at this okay

and of course, this chuck grant moodboard by the incredible the amazing YOU @sweetxvanixlla was one of the first things i saw and loved in the fandom for grant?? the beach vibes, the light blues, the carefree energy, it all is so perfect. and i was like "holy SHIT this is good also now i too love grant" so i can thank you for that 🥰

bonus from @the-cinnamontography-is-amazing that i cant stop laughing at it

17 - your fav fanwork about an underrated character?

oh i was HOPING to get this because there's this one fic i love SO MUCH and i just!! want to scream about it from the rooftops!!

Come In From The Cold by rebelsquad (T, 24k) is a Smokey-centric Coffee Shop AU, and it just warms my heart in all the best ways. First of all, Smokey is an incredible narrator, and I love how the author captures his voice in this so hard!! I also just love that it centers around some of the more underrated characters (Smokey, Alley, Shifty, Tab, Skinny, and Popeye), but also has great interactions with the regulars as well! The found family vibes are just *chefs kiss*, and it is also the perfect mood for winter ✨ I cannot recommend it enough!!

25 - what colors do your mutuals most remind you of?

i dont even know why this turned out like this? but i went full vibes ✨

@sweetxvanixlla - midnight blue feels so right for you, my dear. starry nights and deep blue velvet cushions, something steady and calm but sparkles in just the right light. a cup of herbal tea on a tuesday night, and the thrum of a quiet city hums beneath your tongue. theres something so quiet and still about the night, that moment when people are talking and you dont have to participate, you just sit and let their words flow over you, enjoy their presence and energy and that feeling is midnight blue.

@xxluckystrike - girl, you are golden. warmth and positivity and laughter that itself is a kind of music, just as much as the songs you love and share and make art for. its the type of gold you feel on a late summer day, echoing up from the passenger seat of a convertible as you drive with your friend across a rolling field of wheat, of corn, of wildflowers. there's soda in the cupholders, and the carbonation matches the bubbles springing from the bottom of your lungs. sunny, summery, golden.

@malarkgirlypop - pink. the snap of a piece of bubble gum, the sugar rush from a strawberry lollipop, the pop of a bright shade of lipstick, quirked up into a smirk. your presence is loud and beautiful like the sound of a boombox atop a vespa, zipping through a busy beachside pier and delighting everyone who hears. pink is the feeling of just being yourself, unashamedly and wildly, and reveling in the wake of your energy.

@panzershrike-pretz - green, but that vibrant green of the sun hitting a park just right, and there's almost a glow, or a halo, across the field. it's the kind of green reserved for grass stains, made after the first spring day that's warm enough to go and spend time outside. it's the color of collapsing in a cackling heap after goofing around with your friends, and they're laughing because you're laughing because they're laughing. what are you laughing about? it doesnt matter, maybe its nothing, maybe its the cow chewing away on the green grass in the distance. no matter, because it is joy.

@footprintsinthesxnd - idk why but lavender is the immediate thing that comes to mind? something calm and soothing and steady, a breath of fresh air, walking through a field with the sun on your neck and the smell of the purple flowers filling the air. a gentle breeze ripples across your fingertips. it's quiet, but not silent, and the lavender doesnt break in the wind - it bends, and the flower seems to brighten in response. your energy is the deep breath that is taken after that moment - content and at ease.

@blood-mocha-latte - so this might not make sense outside my head but...that color a candle flame gives when reflected off a marble statue. something in the liminal space between warmth and cool, between hard and soft, between cold creams and whites and bright oranges and yellows. the ethereal quality of walking through a gallery alone, silent save for the feeling welling up from each piece of art you pass. the tiles echo this soft color, the flickering candle makes the shadows across the paintings dance, and one can't help but want to explore further, to linger with the treasures you've created.

@ronsparky - sky blue, but not the crayola sky blue. the sky blue of an early morning on the top of a mountain, mist obscuring pieces of the horizon and you could convince yourself you are the only human on the planet. a sky blue that rivals on being crisp and soft, that suggests unlimited possibility if you just reached your hand out a little farther. one can't help but feel that every small, new thing from this view is a joy - and its a feeling so wondrous and contagious that you cant help but spread it to those you interact with. the sky shifts, ever so slightly, but the color follows you down the mountain.

@georgieluz - red, but not quite. a bird flitters into view from where you sit on a bench in a forested park. its winter, and the trees feel bare and lonely. surprisingly, the bird isnt a pigeon - it's a vermillion flycatcher. the bird stands out triumphantly against the monochrome sky as if a beacon, or a challenge to some higher power that says i am here. its bold, its singular, and one cant help but admire the sheer presence of this small vermillion creature. but when it opens its beak and sings, the trees dont look so lonely any more.

@next-autopsy - you know that color when a fire burns down, and the embers are glowing with a deep mahogany? the edges of smoke dont obscure the color or heat from the coals, it only seems to make them more ephemeral. its a mesmerizing color, its the feeling where you want so desperately to stretch out your fingers and know what that heartbeat of fire feels like, and although the burn doesnt completely dissuade you, you still pull your hand back. the dancing mahogany glows a little brighter, then dimmer, as if in time with your breathing.

@onlyyouexisthere - the words "pale green" dont quite do justice to the vibes your presence gives off. the softest pale green? cashmere, the color of mint leaves reflecting morning dew? maybe that's the closest, the feeling of looking out over a snow-brushed hill, hands warmed by a mug of silver needle tea, wrapped in a cozy cashmere sweater. something comforting but crisp, familiar but fresh, nostalgic but new. something pale green.

@land-sh - one time, i was on an airplane flying across the arctic. it was the middle of the night, and i looked out the window and slowly, over the course of two hours, watched the sun rise. the sky started as a pitch black, stars breaking up the endless void, and slowly, one color at a time it lightened into a blindingly bright day. but there was a moment, about 37 minutes in, and im pretty sure everyone on the plane was asleep. outside, all i could see was this deep, vast purple. it felt like there could be anything and everything beyond that color, and i was the only in the universe who would ever see it. idk why, but thats the color and vibe that comes to mind when i think of you.

@coco-bean-1218 - see, i thought about chocolate brown for you before i even realized that its just your username. but maybe its more than chocolate, maybe something closer to chestnut. you're that feeling when you walk through an orchard, it's november, and although the sun is shining its the kind of sun that seems to make everything more crisp than warm. as you walk through, there's a small crunch under your shoe - a chestnut. there's a deeply satisfying smell in the air, something woody and comforting, and you just want to get lost in the rows upon rows of chestnut brown dotting the branches and littering ground.

@samwinchesterslostshoe - okay so bear with me on this one - slate gray. the slate gray of a city on a rainy day, clouds and sky and sidewalk almost blending together into one entity. you duck into a coffee shop you never would have noticed if not for the weather. at first, you think the walls are just reflecting the color from the outside, and you feel a lonely pang. but then, you notice it - art, stickers, little notes of love written in sharpie and tucked in the space between tables. they stand out among the walls, and the absence of color makes their presence even brighter. and the coffee? so good. it's the best you've ever had, and you realize the coffee shop is just like the walls - you find beauty you never would have noticed without the slate gray of the sky.

....so i have no idea if any of this makes sense outside of my head, but here we are. if i missed you i am so sorry!!!

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

okay okay i am sorry this is so long-winded. i am in fact, a long-winded bitch.

but thank you so much for asking this, and for just being such a wonderful part of our community! i hope your day goes super well!! 💕💕

[always-a-joyful-note]

Hope you don't mind mind random PMs! I just thought I'd let you know how much I've been enjoying your Ainana posts as of late. I also thought I'd share one of my favourite ZOOL comics on Pixiv here (https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/84180511) that you might find fun. Scroll down to the one that's based on their Beyond the Period performance where Haruka tells the audience that he loves them for maximum hilarity. Veeeery rough and condensed translation but basically it goes:

Touma: (Wow, Haru is actually saying 'I love you' to the fans. He sure has become cool. Okay, I should say it too.) I love... you... (Huh? Those two are really staring at me for some reason.)

Torao: Did you hear that, everyone? Touma just said he loves me.

Haruka: No, he looked at me when he said it.

Torao: He was looking at me longer though.

Haruka: No, he was looking at me 5 seconds longer than you.

And then while Touma's being all what the heck are you guys talking about, it's like...

Minami: I'm the only one you didn't say 'I love you' to.

Touma: No, it's not like that, Mina. When I said 'I love you', I meant -

Minami: I'M THE ONLY ONE YOU DIDN'T SAY 'I LOVE YOU' TO.

Touma: OKAY OKAY YOU'RE SCARING ME

Feel free to check out the artist's other comics for more clueless Touma and possessive ZOOL shenanigans. <3

HELP I'M DYING. That was SO good! The expressions and the progression of events was GOLD. They are a comedy of errors or something, and thank you so much for the tl!! The fact that Toma is simultaneously Zool's father figure and collective son will never not be funny to me.

And nooo, I'm always happy to have my inbox spammed for these kinds of asks! Thank you, OP! That's so sweet of you to say, and to take the time to share fanart you like!

Also, tagging resident zool lover @msperfectsheep-posts

sweats. waves awkwardly. hiiii guysssss.

apologies for being super inactive! again! it happens 😭 i’ve been crazy busy trying to get schoolwork done in my current course this past month, and the crunch should finally end by next week! because of that, i’ve been trying to avoid distractions and focus on sharing my backlog of artwork once school isn’t as much of a priority anymore. but MAN am i excited to get back to being here and on instagram I MISS YALL

[singlethread]

why do you not think 911 is queerbaiting its audience

Because we have good queer rep in the show. Name another network show that has a black lesbian couple that is married and in an overall extremely healthy relationship and while they do underutilize Karen in my opinion the henren moments we do get are fucking beautiful. We even got a fade to black scene this season and a renewal of vows last season. And they love each other and communicate and have a full fucking family on top of the found family they have with the firefam.

Michael would still be around if he hadn’t had forced the writers to write him out. But instead of burying their gays, which they very well could’ve done. Michael dying would’ve been extremely impactful to multiple characters and it would not have shocked me if they had killed him off. They didn’t, they let him move where he’s still with his fiancé/husband (I can’t remember if they officially got married) and he’s still happy.

While I believe buddie going canon would be great queer rep in terms of showing a slowburn queer relationship between two characters that many viewers may believe are straight. They are not the end all be all of representation, mlm couples ultimately get the most screen time in terms of queer relationships, especially one where a white man is involved. While I do personally believe that it would be a disservice to the show to not make buddie go canon it would not be the end of the world if they didn’t.

Like if you don’t want to be “baited” by them simply don’t watch through that lens. It’s a show that is more than just the Buck and Eddie show and I think it’s a shame how much everyone focuses solely on their relationship when there are so many other special ones that get showcased as well.

I recently got into Lookism, and now that I read all of it I went to search for fics here. I just wanted to tell you that I absolutely adore how you write them all. Specially Gun. I liked him before but your writing made me appreciate the man a lot more, now I'm giggling like a school girl 😭💜 I also love your characterization of Goo, Vasco, Jake, Samuel, Yuseong (I find your writing of him very sweet!)... Everyone, really. Considering how drama heavy the comic is, I appreciate a lot the fluffiness, and I love how you manage to keep them in character while being soft. I'm going to keep reading your work and look forward for your future ones.

Sorry for the long text, and English isn't my first language so apologies if I didn't explain myself too well. Love your work, thanks a lot for sharing your writing with us!

OUWGHH,,,.,, ANON THIS IS SO SWEET........ SOBBING MY EYES OUT .. also dont worry about the long text, and your english is just fine !! <3

im glad u like my characterizations so much!!! its always so reassuring to hear people enjoy the way i soften them but dont make them ooc T_T 💕💕 (also welcome to the gun fanclub <3 ngl it was fanfics and stuff on here that made me rlly fall for him too so now i find it funny that im the person who has made someone else convert 😭😭)

i hope u have fun continuing lookism as it updates and looking at other lovely writing pieces on here by other people, as well as continuing to look thru my stuff <33 thank u so much for dropping by!! 💘💘💖

if we are tumblr mutuals on tumblr this message is for you: i loveyou

Nahida sliding Thoma some Sumeru goodies. "Here. Some lovely treats from the lands of Sumeru. Be sure to treat your princess with them hehe."

%@#%@$^$

Just who is she here!? The God of Wisdom or some hidden valentine's fairy upon this particularly special day?! While the gifts are certainly appreciated, the Fixer isn't ignorant to raw scale of Nahida's insight. She knows that even upon this day, he has a special someone he intends to forgo all prior engagements to go and see. (Not that he kept it a secret.)

Selfishness to this scale was liberating as much as it is just fun to take hold of.

A good part of him imagines that these said treats may have the esteemed Halvamazds tucked into the packaging. Even without knowing her as well as others, the way she puts the best foot forward in sharing her boons, and just wanting to wish people the best through genuine effort..

He appreciates it.

"That goes without saying. Thank you, Nahida. I'm sure she's going to adore these, your baking skills have shot to legendary levels in so little time!"
