recently finished reading @rosesutherlandwrites' novel 'a sweet sting of salt,' and given that it was everything I have been looking for in a) historically-set queer fiction b) selkie stories c) just. A book in general at that very moment, I felt like I ought to draw some fanart...

and also some sillygoofy....

was just minding my own business when a cytham fic (Faint Afterglow <- linked) by @hardboiledteacozy landed on my dash a few days ago, which I then read in its entirety bc I am a fool for mutual pining and slow burn

In his van, Eddie sees a sign stuck right in the grass along the highway: 

Adult Poppers Next Right

Poppers? Here? Well, hell. He's never actually tried poppers before, but maybe he should. If they're being offered right here, right now.

It's a sign. Literally.

He follows the arrow to a tent. Inside, firework stand owner Steve definitely meant to advertise his line of adult snappers, but words are hard sometimes.

Steve sighs. Robin told him this would happen.

If you find yourself stressing over every action to be the most moral and going to debilitating lengths to make sure you're daily life never negatively affects someone in any way or..say, your favorite artists are "good" people before enjoying a song or a movie or something, or even treating other people badly for not going to those same debilitating lengths then remember Chidi Anagonye who literally made himself and everyone around him miserable and ended up in the bad place for having moral OCD when the reality was that you have no choice but to participate in your society no matter how flawed it is and while that's not an excuse to not try, you should not expect yourself or anyone else to be "perfect".

Been absolutely obsessed with @cosmiischillin's aged up Ruby Gloom AU Twilight Town and thought it'd be kinda fun to dig up my old Ruby Gloom OCs/Self Inserts and age them up to fit the Twilight Town Vibe.

The mummy is more recent, not adult recent they were definitely still a kid me self insert, but I only really recently put their design to paper like, last year. You can see that post Here because I really don't want to ramble twice about the same OC.

Luna is my baby baby OC who was basically just a Self Insert, I made them when I was maybe 8? They're a Shape-shifter who's color blind who took the form of Ruby hoping they could be as popular as her and make friends like she does because they're very very shy. Ruby basically adopts them as a sister afterwards.

I had drafted in a notebook as a kid a script for their arrival episode that came right after Blue Luna where even though they're drastically different looking Frank, Len, and Iris canNOT tell the two apart, and even assume Ruby to be the fake. Shenanigans and what not.

Yes baby me made an OC that was The Main Character but a Different Color and I was SO proud of it. I made an edit of Ruby to make her look like Luna as a child in MS Paint, but it as sense gone to the wind. Sad.

I HATEEEEE DYSPEXIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's always interesting to hear about people's weird/unexpected "alternate life paths". Like, something that you could have done with your life, a job you almost took, a school you almost went to, etc - that was still actually realistic enough that it could have happened, but NOW it seems to not suit your current personality.

Like for example, I currently hate advertising (how manipulative it is, brands trying to be 'relatable', social media amplifying it to an obnoxious extreme, etc.) so much that even seeing a little ad before a youtube video is grating to even witness, but there was a point in time where I was genuinely seriously considering going into marketing/making commercials as a career lol. Or like, I have a relative who was very inclined to be a pastor when they were younger, even though today they're a super strong atheist, etc. etc.

I'm one of the many people that will be waiting for the uncut finale on the 24th, but since I know some of y'all can't wait: it is on bilibili.

one major difference i have found between service industry work (in my case food service but this is widely applicable to similar jobs) and other public-facing positions is that the job itself is often very similar because people is the same, it's just in service everyone approaches you already thinking they're right and you're a fucking idiot and its their god given right to disrespect you, where in other positions even if they are not nice to you they usually acknowledge that you know more than them on issues pertaining to your job. like the difference in behaviour from people who see you as serving them vs helping them is unreal. i am doing literally the exact same things. customer is always right mentality did irreparable damage to the fabric of society

SO my laptop chose to self-destruct in the middle of class yesterday and I wasn't able to resurrect it. Fortunately I was able to get a new one pretty quickly but it appears clangen didn't make the migration over, either that or windows security obliterated it. Either way I don't seem to have the files anymore which means idk what the future is for this blog.

Okay, I just finished Strange Aeons' Dashcon video and I have two major conclusions, but the more important one is that the general experience for the participants, not the vendors in the artist alley, guests, staff, or security, but the nerds who bought tickets and attended the con, was generally MUCH more positive than I thought it was. And also, that people on tumblr who were not there were MUCH more vicious and mean than I thought they would be.

I googled fatal insomnia and now I'm paranoid. I did this to myself.
