#i know i'll revisit this in the future tho because there's so much to do with it. i have SO many plot beats for it already. man

[timey-fandom-stuff]

well, guess who lost control of my hands again and was compelled to scribble down designs for ANOTHER Deltarune AU? yeah. me. it doesn't really have a proper name yet so I've just been calling it Changeling AU for now, I'll figure that out later.

these would be the cast's dark world designs; they parallel early Deltarune concepts in which the lightners would turn into monsters in the dark world-- with a few medieval fantasy fae-flavored twists this time around. mortals become a variety of magical beasts in the fae's dark realm, with only 'Kris' strangely unaffected... aside from the hue shift and conspicuously pointed ears, that is.

the main 'Kris' of this AU isn't the only human in town. instead, they're ironically the only one in town who ISN'T human, though not even they know it yet. in reality they're a Changeling, a fae creature that was left as a 'gift' to replace a taken human child. they can do things, strange things. animals come to them in the night, and the cool touch of iron burns their skin. they're afraid of what they see in the mirror; human eyes don't gleam in the dark, and their teeth shouldn't be so sharp. so they hide their features, and they ignore the whispers of the townsfolk, and they keep their head down.

they made a mistake, a terrible one... and they need to set it right.

meanwhile, the human they replaced is still out there somewhere in the fae world, twisted by its curse into a cornered, desperate beast seeking any escape from the realm that has held them prisoner all their life. it's said that when the full moon casts deep shadows over the woods, you can still hear their anguished howls in the dark begging for the name that once was theirs. they can never leave the dark world without it. they'd do anything to get it back.

all they've ever really wanted was to find their way home.

INTRODUCTORY POST.

Introduction

Hello everyone, admin here. Welcome to the TQFTIM:Post-Canon blog. Here I will explore the lives of the main cast of TQFTIM, except push the timeline a few years into the future. 

What to expect from this blog:

The content on this blog will consist of mainly shitposts, shenanigans and overall self-indulgent doodles. Redraws of panels and/or official tqftim art(if you can even call it that) can also be expected. TQFTIM:Post-Canon does not follow a storyline(at least yet). If anyone has any questions or requests, the (post-)questers are always happy to oblige.

The main face of the blog will be Cuphead, as this character was the one to kickstart the whole idea of post-canon TQFTIM, however I will do my best to include the whole main cast into the shenanigans.

Main changes

In this timeline, Bendy and Cuphead went trans some time after the presumed ending of TQFTIM. Below you can see the reference sheets that I have made so far. Whenever I'll make more reference sheets, they will all be tagged with "#tqftim:pc refsheet" for easy access in the archive, in case anyone wishes to revisit them. 

If you are uncomfortable with topics such as queerness and/or transitioning, I advise you to leave right away, as they will make rather frequent appearances and I don’t need more headaches.

Relationships/dynamics

Initially this was supposed to be bendystraw-centered, however while brainstorming I realized that I wish to explore their friendship a bit more. Bendystraw is such a funny ship tho I'm actually gonna cry. Regardless, this blog isn’t that serious, so whether you see bendystraw slip-ups alongside platonic bendystraw, it ain’t a big deal. Other ships or friendship dynamics might appear later on as the brainworms capture my conscience (or as you might request them from me directly, that is also an option), but that is for future-me to worry about. 

It is important to highlight the fact that I do not condone or accept proshipping. Keep that out of here, this is really not the place for you.

On another note, I need to highlight the fact that I do not support blogthegreatrouge, in fact, I despise them and what they did, however denying how much I liked tqftim as a kid would be blatantly stupid, so you know… Might as well take it and make it fun for myself :)

As a closing thought, I wish to remind everyone who will stumble upon this blog that it is all satirical and that I'm doing it because I'm having a blast creating it all. It is mostly meant for shits and giggles. Have fun! <3

Hallo 🙋‍♀️

I realize I haven't posted here in quite some time!!

Am I braindead? Always 💅 Am I abandonning this fandom? No, simply taking a mental break 🙆‍♀️ What's up? I'm in Baldur's Gate 3 brainrot hell and I'm LIVING FOR IT. 💃 (I shitpost a lot on Twitter)

I've straightened up a lot of priorities in the last few months: - Commissions are now forever closed. No more. Never. Nada. I am absolutely done with it. The last few ones I did over the last few months made me realize that I do not enjoy drawing for others anymore unless it's for shits and giggles, or a trade with friends. (no, do not try to be my friend to get free art. been there, done that)

- I am revisiting my deep love for medieval fantasy stuff. That is where I've always felt more creative and generally inspired. The last few drawings I did and texts I've written really reflect that. (I do plan on continuing some of my tmnt fics tho, that's for sure)

- I do not see the need to push content as much over the years. I am satisfied with doing things for myself, and frankly I've been gaining less and less traction over time because of how sporadically I post in general. The internet is really strange now with its algorithms and views and "for you" pages, etc. BLEHRG. If people find my stuff and like it, good for them. Otherwise, I post for myself or just don't post at all 🤷‍♀️ as long as I'm happy, that's what matters.

- Not gonna lie, I'm also doing this to prepare myself mentally to not be so dependant of the internet and having my sole source of happiness come from it. My partner and I have some plans for the future - some which involve actually starting a family - so I know the internet cannot be a priority.

- My career is taking a lot of twists and turns. I am more involved in the video game development sphere and I'm aiming for roles up high in management. Things are moving fast this year and I might get where I want to be sooner than later. That is going to take a lot of my time and energy. So any free time I have, I want it to be for ME.

So uhhhhhhh, that's the big lines I guess. I see lots of drama on the internet and I will have none of that. I'll stay in my bubble and enjoy my stuff however I want. I'll post stuff to make people laugh 'cause the world is so ugly and sad these days. We need some sunshine 💜

Love you all 💜

I have been disillusioned with amc iwtv and i am Sad about it.

I liked s1, even with all the changes (some mattered less, some more) i was happy to give it a go, i know firsthand that adaptations have to change things!

But last 4 eps of s2 have been just- bad, on that front. There has been some incredible moments, yet they refuse to engage with larger existential themes from the books, replacing them with mortal pettiness and showy violence. I might have let it slide too, if the issues with writing have not been bearing their fangs.

We are on to final episodes of season two and still, show failed to establish reliable way to determine objectivity or point out fallacy of the pov for the audience.

And i DO find this lazy writing! I HAVE A DEGREE IN SCREENWRITING! I WISH I DIDNT, BECAUSE I CANT TURN OFF THE CRITIC! THIS PISSES ME OFF! The motivations of the characters this season are so muddy and unclear! Its somehow became more of a mess from s1!!!

I get the premise, but this feels like holding your audience hostage, dangling the "truth" in front of them, never delivering. Its fine for characters to have secrets, to have their subjective view on events but when there is no indication for the audience where the to find the distinction... It is just disrespect. Everything is to be taken as false, unless actively revisited and edited to be the "truth" on screen. It sucks :(

i also started getting severe TJLC flashbacks witnessing fandom DM theories, and i do NOT like it. i hope they deliver proper DM in the future, i really really do. it seems so, but my trust is low rn...so many sherlock bbc parallels in a way they approach building tension and ~mystery~ aagghhh

It pisses me off, BECAUSE i do think this is a GOOD show. There is so much potential for greatness!!! Some writing, scene to scene is superb, dialog is also good on s2, the incredible acting and casting choices, soundtrack, cinematography and design are reeeaally good.

Yet i do not believe they have time to clean up the mess they made this season, maybe just untangle some leftover from s1.

and with ep6 i really dislike how they use sa as a shortcut to get you to sympathize with a character, that's not it. it is not a proper characterisation, to victimize someone as if it would be an explanaition of their resilience--- 1 time, 2 time i'll let it go. but 3 - nope.

on a different point, the ooc louis is just. too much, even for me. crossed the line. do not believe this is louis anymore. the character is still interesting tho! just the first one to fall, for me.

Well. We are close to larger plots of tvc, like qotd and they shot themselves in a foot before it even started, with how they handled the lore this season 💀

sad hours open :(

DAY 301 of 365. 10/27/2024

HUWAW. The last time I posted here was last February 5, 2024. Time check it is October 27, 12:48AM.

The rain is pouring hard, and you're all by yourself at the sala and zoned out a little and decided to revisit your tumblr account which you haven't used for such a long time now.

Habang nag tatype ka pa ay tumutunog ng malakas yung langit dahil sa kidlat haha I'm not scared of it tho. I mean I usually am but right now, I'm not. HAHAHA. Whatever. Andito nanaman ako. Ang dami nanamang tumatakbo sa isip ko. Ito talaga laging nangyayari kapag you're just at home and you are restless because you're so used to doing something or you're used to be always doing something outside of the house and now you're just at home. I have a lot of things that I have to do but I am not doing it. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??!!!

Anyway, ang highlight talaga ng araw na ito ay ang hindi ko pag sipot sa invitation ni Bro Rex!!!!!! Medyo nakonsensya lang ako kasi ineexpect niya yatang pupunta talaga ako. Pinagpaalam niya pa ako kay REYNA MAE!!! I mean di ako kinikilig (okay fine kinikilig ng konti sa fact na pinagpaalam ako pero walang meaning!!!) Pero kasi if he did that then that means he was expecting me to come!!! Kahit sa chat talagang kinoconvince niya ako. But if I went today, I feel like I have not been firm about myself na I'm going to do things because I want to do it and not because he was just there HAHAHAHAHAHA For today, hindi siya healthy. Next time, I'll join. With or without him, sasama ako. Para mapatunayan ko lang sa sarili ko na hindi ako ganung klaseng tao. i hate those kinds of people and I don't want to be one. I am so much better than that. Dave, kung mababasa mo man 'to, please know na gets na kita!! HAHAHAHAHAAHHA Yung ayaw gawin yung isang bagay kasi baka isipin ng mga tao, ginagawa ko lang 'yon dahil sa kanya. Please know na hindi ako ganun.

Anyway, gusto ko lang sabihin na super na-aamaze ako sayo as a person. NAG NAME DROP NA YAN. Pero omg ang bait bait, ang talino, ang gentleman, makadiyos (given dahil again JESUIT BROTHER ANO NAMAN ANG INEXPECT KO), SOFT SPOKEN (BEST THING ABOUT HIM!!!!) at dry yung humor huhu Anyway, I am dedicating this post to you para lang I will be reminded in the future that I once had met someone like you in the future. Sinasabi ko talaga 'to always sa mga tao kapag I am explaining to them about a certain admiration I have for someone I respect so much and I admire so much but not to a romantic degree. If I am to think about them romantically, it would be me hoping I'd meet someone like them whom I can be romantically linked with, someone like them but definitely not them if that even makes sense. HAAAAAAAYYYYY. When I think about this small crush I have, napapaisip ako sa lovelife ko in general. LIKE HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE NA WALA PARING AKONG JOWAAAAA. THO POSSIBLE NAMAN PERO ARGHHHH WHEN WILL IT BE MY TIME? (JOKE DI PA TALAGA AKO READYYYYY!!!) PERO AYUN LANG, GUSTO KO NA RIN NG ANGST IN LIFE. HAHAHAAAHHAHA SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO EVERYDAY. PERO CHAREZ LANG!!!

I guess if there's something I should start working on, I think it's really my studies. I want that additional 4k in my salary. I want a new phone and I want to finally get my teeth fixed. BUT ALL THESE ARE JUST PLANS, I HAVE TO START MAKING ALL OF THIS A REALITY!!!! LYKA PLEASE T_T HAVE SOME SHAME!! Anyway, grabe parin insecurities ko about my body and everything else. It's always the number one reason why I think I'm still single. ONLY A FEW PLUS SIZE WOMEN MAKES IT TO THE OTHER SIDEEEEE. I WILL HAVE MY TIMEEE! Basta Lord, kung dumating na po, sana sa matino. Sana sa someone na hindi ako ilalagay sa peligro. Kung di niya man ako kayang mahalin or kung lolokohin niya man ako, okay lang po basta huwag niya lang po ako idamay sa mga bagay na ikamamatay niya. HAHAHAHAHHAH WEIRD BUT IM SO SERIOUS ABOUT THIS.

Anyway Lord, I know you're there! For tonight, ito nalang muna siguro? hehehehehe balik lang po ako ulit. Sobrang comforting neto! AS IN!! I thank Tatin for reminding me how fun it is to do journaling. LOVE YOU PO, LORD! SAME PRAYERS LANG PO AKO! (GOOD HEALTH, CONTINUOUS PROTECTION FROM HARM, FINANCIAL FREEDOM, STRENGTH, WISDOOOOM AND GUIDANCE PO!! ALSO HEALING FOR EVERYONE I LOVE!!! LOVE YOU PO!!)

Sa susunod na entry!!!!!!! Time check: 1:08AM

[jakeperalta]

Thanks for talking to me and understanding and everything nice you said. I think Folklore is a great first step to this kind of songwriting. I dont know if that's something she wants right now or for the next album. A lot of people say they want a Folklore part 2 but she never does the same thing twice. In the future, I think she could write an amazing musical..either with an album of hers that's a full story eventually or an awesome jukebox musical. She worked with Andrew Lloyd Webber so I can dream lol. Do you think a full album with a somewhat connected story would be successful tho? Also What do you think about some people saying that something is off with Taylor? They were saying this cuz she didnt say anything about Biden winning the election. I personally dont agree with that or dont think anything but there were a lot of posts saying they are worried about her. I think maybe cuz she knew this magazine interview was coming and she wanted a total surprise. Also was the Capital One commercial supposed to be a clue to that or? Why did it show Easter eggs of Folklore?

Omg sorry I'll space this out now. What did you think of the interview? I know it happened a month ago but to me she seemed fine and pretty happy but I guess we dont know. She said she read Rebecca..I only watched the movie but now wondering if the book is worth it but I'm not a big fan of older books. Didnt you mention reading it too? Anyway I loved how it seemed mostly like a normal conversation lol cuz she kinda shared a lot, and it's so crazy that she will be as legendary as Paul McCartney one day so who knows where her career will go. One thing she said in the interview confused me though. She mentioned how she only wrote the topline of Folklore and idk what that means. I asked my sister who knows about music and she didnt know either..cuz she also said she didnt write any of the music and I always found that weird. Is that just because of quarantine..doesnt she usually write instrumentals or at least how the song sounds? Omg I just thought of a cool song idea that Taylor could do. Like a princess trapped in a castle..kinda has the theme of isolation in quarantine. It could be a part 2 or more grown up version of Love Story about how she had to break out or be free, kinda like Brick By Boring Brick by Paramore and if it was anything like that sonically I'd die. Maybe she is past songs like that about fairytales or even proving people wrong but I think it's a fun idea. Sorry this is long again..I sometimes wonder if other people read what I write and think I'm crazy lol. I hope you dont mind me talking about Taylor so much cuz you're not a full Taylor blog.

ok i’m just gonna put my answer under a read more because it got very long for people to scroll past lol

yeah i think a musical written by her would be amazing! andrew lloyd webber actually said himself that she could write a great musical so we can hope! i think that kind of album would be maybe less commercially successful (especially in the era of streaming and people listening to individual songs more than albums as a whole) but she’s definitely at the stage in her career where she can go a bit more out there creatively without necessarily worrying about sucess.

honestly i’m not worried about taylor either, she’s said herself she’s enjoying having a more private life and it’s healthy sometimes to take some time being less active on social media. she’s still popping up with various little videos for different awards/events so it’s not like she’s gone into full hiding. i have no idea what the capitol one easter eggs are hinting at but knowing taylor i’m sure it’s something!

i really liked the interview, it was nice to get a bit more insight into the process that led to folklore and just like where she’s at now! i read rebecca in the summer and loved it so i recommend, i think as far as classics go it’s pretty easily readable and doesn’t feel really outdated (and i love that taylor also read it in lockdown!). writing the topline means she wrote the lyrics whereas aaron dessner wrote the music, so he would send her an instrumental and she’d add the lyrics on top (i think with jack it’s usually a bit more collaborative in terms of lyrics/production but i’m not sure if that’s the same with folklore). i think she probably did it as a way to sort of experiment with a different type of genre and sort of try a different way of writing. i know that it was the same with cruel summer, where jack and st vincent wrote the track then taylor wrote the lyrics/melody on top. that sounds like such a good concept! i think it would be cool for her to revisit the fairytale type vibes from some of her earlier songs from like a more grown up perspective.

[raksh-writes]

It's finished! ^^

Or is it? 👀

Gonna make a full post with more photos sometime later in a few days, but for now some general thoughts on the process and what-not under read more. Cause I need to get them out and don't want to do it in the main post ;p So here goes!

I can't say I'm not proud of this, cause I am! Buuut I already know I'm definitely going to get back to this and redo it in the future, when I have more experience. I already need to force myself not to try right now xD My perfectionist ass demands to make it perfect and I love the fic so much I want to make it better too, soo yeah, gonna be revisiting it sometime in the future ;p But aside from that, I'm really proud of this! And dare I say it looks quite pretty 👀

I also learned I'll need to do bookcloth a bit differently, I got some bubbles and warping, which is not nice ;/ I made two pieces and the second one came out slightly better, but I'm saving it for future for now. I used heat&bond and tissue paper and although it worked quite well on the black piece I was trying it on to see how it's done and all, it didn't work so well with this pretty fabric, probably because it's much finer and the one I tried on the first time was quite stiff, so it went smoothly. I might try using rice paper instead of tissue paper and see if that reduces the bubbles/warping. Here's a photo of the bookcloth side to side:

It's not as noticeable on the covers tho, so that's nice!

Aside from that I noticed I need different glue cause the one I bought dried wayyy too quickly xD Maybe I'll do the starch paste I saw a lot of people using? At least for the bookcloth and covers, and buy one for the spines in the future.

Sooo those are most of my thoughts after trying this for the first time. A lot of room to improve, but that's good, gonna be a little frustrating and a lot fun figuring everything out as I go ^^ For now I'll need to take a break to let my wrists rest then decide what I want to do next. And, of course, the full post with more photos will come in a few days when I can type it out ;p

I've been wanting to try my hand at this fic binding thing for quite a while, but I have to say, seeing @the-cookie-of-doom post about it probably gave me the final push to start, so thank you for that! ;D

And here's the start to my adventure 👀

Printing and folding done! Also a sneak peek on the color-scheme, although it's a bit skeewed because of the lighting in my room, hah. I plan to do an open back, so the stitching is visible - I might be jumping too high with french stitching on my first try, but where's the fun in going easy, right? ;p

Unfortunately, our printer did me a lil' dirty and leaked some smudges in few corners after I had to change the ink ;/ But, oh well, I guess it's alright when it's only going to be for myself, gives it soul or something ;p
