#i may just post updated drawings of them for the hell of nostalgia

[thegirlwholied]

hello i am sorry to bother you here but i thought i will try to ask you about your amazing fanfic on ao3 (love's such an old fashioned word). i found it yesterday and since than i'm keep thiking about it. please tell me you will continue it! i left a review for you on the website but i've seen you don't really active there anymore:( i really hope i won't come off as a weirdo or anything just i really loved your story:) i wish you the best:))

It's never a bother & you found the very best way to contact me! I do always get & so deeply appreciate the AO3 emails but when it comes to actual *replies* tend to do that in batches eons & eons later... but always happy to talk fic on Tumblr! Thank you for asking, & sending lots of good vibes your way; I wish I had a fic update to send but alas I am nowhere near one.

I'm so glad you're enjoying love's such an old-fashioned word & I do think about it all the time myself... but. In that case why isn't it updated? Truth?

Well. I mean, yes, I intend to finish it. It’s not writer’s block; I know what happens next and how it ends. So uh why is this one not finished?

-I'm not the fastest updater in the best of times (see: the start date of my finished fics vs. when I ended them, lol).

-We are not in the best of times.

-(I'm very lucky to still be working and that my job was already remote and that I have off weekends and the usual holidays but) 

I have taken one week off work since Oct. 2019, my last real vacation, and that was only a long weekend. My free time is limited and my energy is low! 

- I've prioritized my own fiction over fan fiction for the past decade really; in 2020 the draw of nostalgia & escapism & need for any sense of accomplishment & connection really drove me back toward fan fic (but...) - my own stories are still my priority...

- ...whenever I get writing again because I’m coming off what turned out to be a concussion and genuinely haven’t written much at all since September. I'm trying to get back now though! To any story that’ll have me!

- But.

- My (stupid) concussion was Sept; my last update of the fic was end of May.

- So?

- June.

Basically... J.K. Rowling happened to June.

I mean that sums it up really, and you didn't come to my inbox for my opinion on *that* but uh yikes of yikeses @ all that, and I said a bit here and this was still in my drafts so I’ve posted it, as this too I guess. 

Anyway, June stopped my happy-fic writing pretty cold. I can only imagine (and read about!) how it made other fans feel. 

So! I feel pretty weird about how much time & love & energy I have put into writing HP fics over the years! How much time & love & energy I put into writing as-canon-as-possible, combed-through-those-books-like-Bibles fics! I don’t just magically un-love the books, not by any means, not something I loved that hard growing up especially, but uh. Yeah. It’s kind of a weird, drained-out feeling when I think about that. Which especially sucks, in a year when the world itself is draining, and my love of Harry Potter’s world was this joyful, freeing thing to escape back to and share with fellow fans. 

I’m not trying to inflict my drain on anyone! The sense of accomplishment & connection regarding fan fiction, including HP fanfiction, is still there too! That people read my fic means so much to me, and how we’ve all shared a love of these characters all these years, and I have no intent to let kind readers like you down. I want to finish my own darn stories for myself, too; I write what I want to read. I want to read the end of that story. Written - and this is key - in a non-joy-sucking mood.  

And this story, particularly, a fic featuring how Petunia, lost in a smallness and meanness she herself doesn’t even see, can surprise us and still be better, a story hinged on hope and belief that people can change, even if they usually don’t, even if only in an alternate universe, things could be a little bit brighter?

Don’t worry. While I’m sorry that I can make no promises as to when! - I’m sure as hell finishing that one. <3

Okay so uuuuh

I haven’t posted here- or, generally, any of my Tumblrs-- in a hot second. And I don’t know if anyone is really following this blog besides folks from the Sonic days and/or porn bots, but I’ll tell my tale.

My radio silence has been true for the majority of my social media accounts except my Twitter.

On the personal side, I can chalk this absence up to a lot of things. I started my first semester at college in New York, and we know how things move in New York. On top of being extremely busy with schoolwork (not to the point where I had to pull an all-nighter, or even a 2:00AM-er, thankfully!), I started to get into D&D and I didn't touch my Switch, so my interest in what most people would probably know me for at this point-- Splatoon-- waned a lot. (Splatoon-wise, I’m more active on @rancid-squids than I have been here, so look there if you are unfamiliar with names mentioned in the rest of the post).

I drew four shitty doodles of Scribner and Bryant being fluffy and shared one of them on my Twitter, and that was the extent of Splatoon content that I put out for more or less the final half of the year. Now, don't get me wrong, I still love Splatoon and I'll deffo tune in whenever a third game or a spinoff comes out, but I lowkey have sort of reached a burnout point/disinterest with the current state of the majority of the OCs I created for it.

(It's a little bit of a shame, because y'all never got to meet Viola. I have a Toyhouse page and art created for her and everything. Just never made any supplemental art to bolster that tweet/post/deviation.)

Note that I've mentioned "current state". I've given some of the characters a new lease on life through D&D. I started playing in a campaign in September and have succumbed to the hell that is crying over pretty dice, religiously listening to The Adventure Zone and having a slight interest in Critical Role (no spoilers for either, please), and drawing art of the PCs and NPCs I've made. Doing this has been a lot of fun, but because it's so entwined in IRL business I haven't posted much of the art that's come out of this foolery.

At this point, though, I do want to maintain a decent amount of activity on my socials and let you guys in on what I've been doing, so you know what? I'm gonna post some got damn dnd and there's nothing you or my self-conscious conscience can do about it

On another topic, I put the cover of Self-Preservation on this Tumblr and then never posted anything else. Don’t fret- I’ve made thirteen pages, and while they are all on my Twitter, I’ll post them here, too.

So then, I suppose I should present the question of "what does this all amount to?" Let's bullet it.

I will be consolidating my presence on Tumblr into this specific blog, @rancid-arts. There is a high likelihood that most art from prior to 2018 will be deleted to maintain a more professional appearance. View it now while you can if you wanna chalk up some nostalgia or something.

After all pages of Self-Preservation are posted, don't expect a lot of Splatoon art or activity from @rancid-squids, unless if it's commission-related. 

Expect, for the time being, a lot more D&D and general original content being posted here. I have some TAZ fanart that I wanna yeet here that may or may not also lead into some larger things, so that'll come tomorrow!

I'll be uploading Self-Preservation pages on to rancid-squids and then reblogging them here every couple of days- it won't adhere to the Wednesday schedule I've established; I'll probs post in batches until y'all are caught up

I suppose that's the long and short of it.

For more real-time activity, you can follow me on my Twitter . I’ll also do some similar updates to my DeviantART.

That's all that's pertinent/in my head right now. Oh, it is Christmas, though! And we're generally in the middle of a festive break. I hope y'all have pleasant holidays and you take care of yourself.

Gigi Hadid Channels Brigitte Bardot With a Throwback Beauty Look

Gigi Hadid is officially the millennial solution to Brigitte Bardot. The stick insect stepped out in The big apple Metropolis the previous day along with her trademark bombshell blonde hair bound in a contemporary bouffant, strands raked back right into a half-up knot—with plenty of quantity at the crown and unfastened length layers framing her face.

Coupled with a subtle flick of black liner, cool red lip shade, and darkened brows, the look known as to mind a ’60s-technology Bardot and spoke to the duo’s uncanny resemblance. Though yesterday’s styling was greater referential than Hadid’s typical arsenal of blowouts and ponytails, the comparison is a natural one: Every woman injects her glamorous above-the-neck sensuality with a certain effortlessness. Plainly a few traits—like spirit, self-possession, and onyx-edged eyes—in no way go out of style.

Understanding MIDI – MIDI Ports, Channels, and the General MIDI Standard

In a previous article, I wrote the primary definition about MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) and the way modern musicians can use it of their independent productions. This time I can write about the technical aspect of MIDI, which includes MIDI ports which are available, MIDI channels and how to use them, and the overall MIDI Preferred that lets in a MIDI document be read consistently over a variety of MIDI-capable units (hardware and software program).

MIDI Ports

As in each different audio or music related era, MIDI has an In and out port. To provide an explanation for using these ports, shall we use the example of a MIDI keyboard and a PC (in this example a MIDI to USB converter is important for the computer). The MIDI OUT port on the keyboard is hooked up to the MIDI IN port at the computer. Because of this, the keyboard sends MIDI records to be performed back or recorded inside the computer. Vice versa, the MIDI IN port on the keyboard can be connected to the MIDI OUT port of the laptop allowing the recorded MIDI statistics within the computer to be despatched returned to the keyboard in order for the keyboard to play back the MIDI facts (this indicates you could document yourself-playing, edit the MIDI facts in a song software program, after which play it lower back at the keyboard and file the audio popping out the keyboard for a higher edited performance).

Besides MIDI Inside and out

There may be a MIDI Through port that is occasionally to be had on a MIDI Instrument. MIDI Through features to bypass on the MIDI facts received on the MIDI IN port to any other MIDI Device or device. Take as an example the keyboard receives MIDI facts from the PC in it’s MIDI IN port. If the keyboard has a MIDI Thru port, it may continue the data it gets from the computer to another MIDI Device’s MIDI IN port. That is useful to chain several MIDI devices receiving data from a single MIDI OUT port from the laptop (for instance, to play a couple of string elements the usage of distinct string sounds on different keyboards).

In the greater recent generation, keyboards can be connected to computers through immediately USB connection while not having a USB to MIDI converter. The disadvantage is that it limits your potential to chain more than one MIDI instruments collectively.

MIDI Channels

There are sixteen MIDI Channels for every 1 MIDI Port. Meaning someone MIDI Port can send and acquire 16 channels of MIDI statistics. Every MIDI channel carries all of the MIDI facts concerning a specific song. as an instance, if tune 1 is Acoustic Piano, then MIDI Channel 1 will comprise the notice pitch, word period, preserve, and different performance records to be played returned by means of a legitimate source. The sounds played back are decided by the Bank and Patch variety inside the MIDI Channel. for example, using the overall MIDI Popular, Acoustic Piano is continually Patch #1 and Acoustic Guitar (Nylon) is usually #25. There is 128 Patches standard.

Having sixteen MIDI channels according to port allows

You to compose a track the usage of sixteen unique parts. as an example you could use Channel 1 for the melody Component the usage of a saxophone sound (Patch #65 Soprano Sax), create the comp Element the use of a piano (Patch #5 Electric Piano 1), and compose the rhythm Part the usage of bass (Patch #34 Electric powered Bass finger) and drums (using MIDI Channel 10, a channel that is reserved especially to play percussion sounds no matter the patch number you software in). If you need greater channels, you then need more MIDI ports!

Tecmo Bowl Throwback – Is This Particular “Throwback” Placed As Well Far Back

So, Tecmo made their massive statement: they’ll be liberating an “update” from the NES football video game preferred, Tecmo Bowl, like a download for Xbox Stay and PSN. The sequel, Tecmo Bowl Throwback, is just that, a jazzed up edition of your retro, 2-D athletics sport. So what is the draw for this? They are touting the functionality to have interaction in toward your friends around the internet, and additionally the capability to carry out inside a plenty extra contemporary 3-D graphical mode, or whatever equivalent to the preliminary,

In all its 2-D glory. But there will not be real NFL groups this time (enthusiasts with the unique will bear in mind how the NFL did now not permit Tecmo to utilize actual team names – they were being just named by metropolis or state). EA has dibs across the NFL, so for Throwback, customization can be the name of the game. Oh, yeah, and according to for the ESRB rankings, they’ll element a jumbotron display, using a swimsuit type with “exposed cleavage.” Tons higher hide this a single from mothers and fathers…

On someone hand, it’s also entertaining to revisit a conventional.

Even though it is hard to bear in mind right now, Tecmo Bowl becomes the physical sports video game. To not date myself properly here, However, my near buddies performed this religiously, had season prolonged tournaments (they stored monitor of almost the entirety across the prison pad or a few thing). Plus they ended up acting this 5 years right away after the game became first actual launched, so the addictive powers of Tecmo Bowl, for a few audiences, commonly aren’t in issue. And no question Tecmo hopes to useful resource game enthusiasts relive their seminal football online game come upon. Nostalgia is constantly very good for a handful of dollars.

But do you observed the release of Tecmo Bowl Throwback is terrific information

Or is it the equivalent of hoping your female friend presents you with an Xbox 360 for one’s birthday, and also you receive a person of people old-faculty Atari plug-in “Television sport” joysticks? proper in the end, nostalgia is 1 factor, However, even then, Tecmo had some said, efficiently, allow’s just call them “limitations.” And I am now not even referring to the pics and noise. the game interacts with itself become kind of easy – there wasn’t a complete hell of a superb deal of tactic protected there. And that it is not like there has been a specific re-creation of NFL players’ skills.

Top 5 Woman-Crush-Wednesday's

Anyone remember my blog post on the Top 5 Man Crush Monday's? Remember how I said I would write a post in the next couple of days? Well a year has past and still haven't done it, so what the heck. Better late that never.

Moving from 2016 to 2017, I'm still the same Joe. The s*** with money, power ranger obsessed Joe. But with a touch more sass. Well I think so anyway. And recently I have been admiring a few female stars with what they've achieved and their talent. Which is why not so long ago I created the slogan GGL. GGL stands for Gay Girl Love. This is for when a gay man (such as myself) really likes a female person for multiple reasons such as their hair, voice, stuff they appeared or worked for etc. Multiple traits that you really admire about one person. For example, Nicole Scherzinger. I think her voice is brilliant, her hair is always flawless, her song Poison is amazing and she was killing it in the music video. I love her for all that. More than just saying 'OMG I love her' but not in the way of really loving/ fancying her. So then I would say I have GGLs for Nicole. If that makes sense. So going back to the trend of WCW. WCW stands for Woman Crush Wednesday. This is exactly the same as Man Crush Monday but with Woman and on a Wednesday. I am obviously not the kind of guy who would use this hashtag to post pics on their social media of bikini models wearing only swimsuits showing off their boobs and butts (for an obvious reason which I've said 2/3 times already). But it doesn't mean I would ignore the hashtag. Just because I'm not attracted to women doesn't mean I think women are only good for showing off their body and absolutely nothing else. Women can do what men can do and vice versa. Equality, plain and simple. There are so many great people who have done some amazing things who are female. And despite not being attracted to them, I would use the WCW hashtag to show how incredible they are in what they've achieved. So this post is a list of my Top 5 most likely Woman Crush Wednesday's. I think these people are amazing and you'll find out why.

5. Poppy

https://youtu.be/xqH3KaW25AA

The person in the photo above (who's hair is amazing btw) is Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy.  She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. She's Poppy. Okay. That's enough. You are most likely to have skip read all of that but if you somehow decided to read all the sentences, how long did it take you? It took me 25 seconds which felt long enough to read 2 words. But imagine having two words said on and on for over 10 minutes, weird right. That didn't stop Poppy. Oh hell no! Poppy (also known as That Poppy) is an artist who has been known to make YouTube videos which weird the s*** out of everyone. One of her most popular videos is where she repeats herself saying "I'm Poppy" for over 10 minutes. And that's just one video. From interviewing a plant, to teaching you how to play the 'P' chord, to giving you a virtual hug and to loading a gun. There's a huge variety of weird. And I like that. Not your typical YouTuber, it's a fresh change. Especially since nobody knows much about her. Whether if this is all an act, what she is really like, if this is her actual personality, her age, interests. No one knows. But that doesn't stop a video of hers making you think. And you don't know what to think, you just do. From anything to everything. However, her videos are not why she made it in this list. The music she has released is incredible. Despite the videos being weird and probably full of hidden messages, the actual songs are simply beautiful. Examples include Lowlife, Money & I'm Poppy. Have a little listen for yourself and you'll see why she made the list.

4. Naomi Scott

http://www.lionsgatepublicity.com/theatrical/powerrangers/

There's obviously gonna be a Power Ranger in this list. It is me after all. Naomi Scott (who was also in the Disney Channel Original Movie 'Lemonade Mouth') plays Kimberly Heart, the Pink Ranger in the Power Rangers 2017 Reboot Movie. Based of the original 1993 character, Naomi does a brilliant job of bringing the character to life again with so much more depth. Not going into too much detail which could spoil the movie, her character has a brilliant way of teaching people that you can learn from the mistakes you make and just because you do a bad thing, it won't automatically make you a bad person. An important message, shown perfectly well. Not only just that, Naomi's character gives you so many moments that get you pumped in this movie too. There's scenes which makes you laugh, get excited, be shocked, and feel worried etc. There's even a scene where she walks down a staircase (pictured) and you can't help but think 'Yassss Queen, Slay That Staircase'. Or at least just me anyway. Simply said, the way she portrayed the character was on point, you can't help but love the new Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger.

3. Dove Cameron

http://www.game-ost.com/albums/87630/one_second_chance_from_%22liv_and_maddie_cali_style%22_-_single/

There maybe two in the picture but trust me, there is only one Dove!

Dove Cameron is a current Disney Channel Queen. Now don't get me wrong. I loved growing up with Disney Channel. My childhood dream was to be in front of a white backdrop holding a glow stick saying "I'm Joe Smith and you're watching Disney Channel" whilst drawing Mickey Mouse ears (if you don't know what I'm on about, watch this). High School Musical, Hannah Montana & That's So Raven. Those were the classics. I lost count how many times people who know me personally asked me if I knew about the Raven sequel series that's been announced. Of course I did. It's me. But it's safe to say that most things made after Season 2 of Shake It Up were pretty awful. To some, I'm even being generous by saying the first season of SIU was decent. I feel like I can safely say shows like Dog With A Blog and Ant Farm lost a generation of viewers. They lost comedy and Disney Channel spark. To me, the Disney Channel I knew was dead. But a couple of years later, the return of Cory and Topenga from Boy Meets Worlds sequel series Girl Meets World, brought me back to the channel. The show is special and brought back some magic of enjoyment like my younger self had from my DC days. I didn't even watch Boy Meets World but I could feel so much nostalgia and happy feelings from it as well. Because of this, I could watch other shows every now and then from around that time (such as I Didn't Do It, K.C. Undercover, Best Friends Whenever) and despite not enjoying them as much as the old shows (mainly because I'm [apparently] an adult and these are made for teens), they wouldn't be an unpleasant viewing. But not so long ago, I subscribed to Disney Life to binge watch the old shows as often as I wanted to. But there was one show I couldn't help but take a little look at. And that was Liv And Maddie. A few episodes passed and that was it. Turns out despite the immature comedy and easy to figure out plots sometimes, there's something about the show I really like. I don't know what it is but I really do enjoy watching Liv And Maddie. Liv And Maddie stars Dove Cameron as both Liv Rooney & Maddie Rooney. Identical twin sisters who are reunited and living together after Liv comes back home after filming her own TV show for quite a long time. Remember earlier how I said women are more than just here to look pretty and nothing else? Well Liv And Maddie deals with this topic really well. They bring up topics from guys ranking the girls from 0-10 just on their appearance, schools putting more money & care to boy sports teams than girl teams and female actors getting more questioned about what they wear than their time on making the show. Liv And Maddie just screams girl power, and it's done perfectly well. The show ran for three seasons and a fourth with the updated title Liv And Maddie: Cali Style (pictured above). The show has something unique about it (joining the small list of DC shows that got the 4th season renewal such as That's So Raven, Hannah Montana & Good Luck Charlie) and Dove does a brilliant job of bringing such big personalities to life in two characters with the way the show is made. But it's not just this show that makes Dove a Disney Channel Queen. She also is a Disney Villain... Kinda...

http://gattaracinefila.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/recensioni-di-descedants-i-guardiani.html

Dove also stars as Mal, Maleficent's daughter in the Disney Channel Original Movie Descendants. Not going into too much detail because I've talked about Dove a lot but this film is pretty decent. A story about the kids of Disney heroes & villains is gonna catch my interest. Kenny Ortega who directed High School Musical did this as well so I can use that as an alibi to prove it isn't awful. And soon there is going to be a sequel and I am really excited to see it. I haven't been excited to see a DCOM since Camp Rock 2. So that is why Dove is in the list. Mirror Mirror, on the wall, who's the baddest of them all? I'm not genuinely asking, it a quote from the movie. I felt like I needed to put it there.

2. Becky G

http://www.lionsgatepublicity.com/theatrical/powerrangers/

That's the longest I've ever gone not talking about Power Rangers. How did I mange that?! But carrying on with the list. Becky G is Number 2 on this list. She is a Pop Princess in the United States. Not that popular in the UK (yet), you may remember her collaboration with Cher Lloyd. But it's not just her music that puts her on this list. Like Naomi, Becky G plays Trini Kwan, the Yellow Ranger in the Power Rangers 2017 Reboot Movie. But Becky brings a change to her original 1993 character in such a great way and is a ranger you can really like. One of the things about her character is that she's gay. She admits this is in the movie and she talks about how she struggles moving home all the time and living with parents who want her to be perfect and how they believe in all these types of labels. And Becky's character deals with this topic in a small but brilliant way. Trini is the first openly gay Ranger in the whole PR universe and that's an amazing step forward. Power Rangers has been around for a long time and always been diverse with their many different cast members. The movies cast is also diverse and the fact that it's not just dealing with race but now sexuality as well, it's a brilliant thing. The cast and the way their characters are portrayed are done perfectly well. That's what makes Power Rangers a great movie. And Becky G plays a huge part in this, which is why I admire her.

1. Ariana Grande

http://gazettereview.com/2017/03/ariana-grande-net-worth/

Another Pop Princess makes the list and takes the crown as Number 1. Ariana Grande needs no introduction and if you don't know who she is, you've been living under a rock. Even though I'm not her biggest fan, I still have serious GGL's for Ariana. I loved watching her play the role of Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon series Victorious. The not so smart but still so talented character was portrayed by Ariana really well. Watching the series during its original run even made me want to meet Cat so much, I wanted her to be a real person. Her character was brilliant and brought so much laughter to me when watching the series. But it's not just the role of Cat that makes me love Ariana. Her voice is incredible! From listening to some amazing songs like The Way, Bang Bang, Problem & Break Free, it just proves how amazing her voice is. Have a little listen for yourself and you are most likely to agree with me.

Just before Christmas 2016, Ariana took the role of Penny Pingleton in NBC's Hairspray Live! and like any acting job she takes, Ariana plays it perfectly well. Her verse in You Can't Stop The Beat is really enjoyable and you can't help but admire her collaboration with Dove Cameron (who is also in this TV Special) and Maddie Baillio for the song Mama, I'm A Big Girl Now. When watching the special, it's easy to see how much Ariana enjoyed playing the role of Penny and I much prefer her take on the character than the 2006 movie Penny. I can't help but love Ariana. So that concludes my Top 5 WCW. I'll do my best to post more on this blog since I do enjoy it but for now, thank you so much for spending time reading this and I hope you enjoyed it.
