Sam's picture of Luke on his lap at the wedding 😁

I'm going to guess everyone was quite merry by that point.

quotes from alex turner's favourite authors that make me want to put my face through a wall:

Was trying to make something vaguely DBDA-esque, except it started looking more like a bi skull, so I tried adding the magnifying glass, except I forgot to draw it in a different layer and now I think it looks weird so I have basically created my own personal hell.

youidraw.com was lowkey a little disappointing

[uncanny-tranny]

There's something so insane to me about being able to create and recreate vintage or even ancient music, clothes, fabrics, building architecture, anything, really.

I watched this video about a lady who knit a WWII-era vest, and it was really unique, because the cable work would eat up yarn, when there were shortages of fibers. This pattern would have likely been used by people to send overseas to soldiers, and now it's being created in a time where this war has been over for generations. What were the people making this pattern thinking of? What about the people making the vest? Could they fathom a world where world wars didn't happen back to back? Could they imagine what peace felt like, or did it fade like a distant memory, a faint friend? All we have now are the remnants of their efforts, a "simple" vest that would warm the bodies of countless people the knitter would never have imagined were here on earth with them.

We're reaching across time to learn about other people - we're reaching our hands out just to grasp anything tangible. And when we've take hold of something, all we can do is say I love you I love you I love you

I've been thinking a lot about art and why it doesn't feel good anymore, and a lot of what I keep coming back to is a) simply not being happy with my style, but b) not feeling comfortable experimenting because I feel like I need things to be """post worthy""" 🙄 so like... it's kind of a vicious cycle lmao so I'm heeding the advice I used to give people trying to overcome perfectionism which was "don't worry about making things that are 'good enough' to post and just post everything."

So... some vague style experimenting 🤷‍♂️ and also a sketch of Ilya from forever ago that I really liked but kept thinking I would come back and do more with.

most wobbledogs fall under this category, but i adore the ones that just. would not exist nor survive one minute in the wild.

Books of 2024: Library Haul.

Trying a new thing this year where I take my cyclical ADHD impulsivity out on my library instead of my credit card statement. Featured here: a book about corporate bullshit that popped up on my dash a few days ago, plus a handful (backpack full, apparently this is eight (8) pounds of books lol) of architecture-adjacent books to help me come up with a floor plan for the haunted house I'll be writing about this NaNo.

[painted-bees]

I have a question that I haven't seen asked yet: is magic and other supernatural phenomena a known and accepted thing in Hi Note's world?

Oh, Hi-Note takes place on basically the exact same earth as the one we live in--with the only difference being that the Hi-Note characters (and all things related to them) exist. So, just like in our world, there are people who believe in the supernatural, and many who do not lmao

Hm. I really wish my brain worked the way it's supposed to.

[a-shadowedvales]

when jane's powers return in season four (and because they were regained by her confronting and accepting her past, rather than being retraumatised with it!) they're stronger than they ever were. when she starts getting a handle back on them, she very quickly comes to realise not only have they affected her, but her mother, too. one of the biggest losses that came about with her losing them was the fact that she could no longer visit terry in the void; while there was no real communication there, it did allow jane to sit with her, and gain a little more connection than she could in the real world. when she first visits the void after their return, it takes her three hours to find terry, something that is both unexpected and incredibly worrying. but when she does, it's something of a miracle. jane's increased strength and control over the void actually wakes terry up from her catatonic state, but only in the void. there's no way to help her mother physically, but she does do so (unbeknownst to her) mentally. terry is reborn in jane's newfound control over the vale of shadows; she becomes the woman she once was, and while her body remains frozen in a "good dream", her mind connected to jane's own allows her some freedom. jane is able to speak to her mother in the void, is able to be held by her, and while it's still unfair and jane cannot stay in there forever, it's something. this only lasts for about eight months, as each visit slowly begins deteriorating terry's physical and mental state, and jane's health begins declining after spending hours upon hours in the void each and every day.

when jane finds out these visits are actually killing her mother on the outside, she deems to stop, but terry expresses the importance of them being able to speak, that she'd prefer to die on the outside, if it meant she could have just a few months with her daughter like this. terry and jane's connection was always so strong, which ultimately led to terry "waking up" in the void, but even jane's newfound strength cannot save her from the harsh realities. each visit nearing the end of those eight months, terry fades more and more, becomes weaker in the void, and her real body eventually gives up. jane's in the void when her mother eventually passes on, and physically feels their connection weaken, like some part of her suddenly becomes lost in the shadows, a part she'll never find again. jane falls into a depressive state for weeks after her mother's death, given she's technically lost her a second time, but soon comes to realise she was lucky to have even shared those eight months together. it was better than nothing at all. there is a proper burial and funeral, (and when jane dies, she's buried next to her mother) which allows jane some sense of closure. she never fully recovers from losing terry, nor from the fact that she never had a proper relationship with her, but she does eventually find some peace with it all.

[ante--meridiem]

Extremely confidence boosting to me that every time I've read my poetry out loud in public at least one person has come up to me afterwards to say they like it. More confidence boosting than people telling me I'm good at anything else which usually just feels very awkward because poetry is something I don't feel I can self evaluate at all because I know how easy it is for something to accidentally come out cliched/overwrought.

If you could magically write a transformers no war au, whether that means life is just better or Megatron gets offlined young or whatever is up to you, what would you write?

Now it likely highly depends on the circumstances that lead to the war, and thusly what continuity we're working with here.

I've seen some interesting tfp "Megatronus becomes the Lord High Protector with Optimus being the prime" fics, but I've also wondered what would happen if yes they honestly gave Megatronus the position.

The chain reaction we see in mtmte is interesting because it directly shows us what would happen if you took Megatron out of the equation, and it's still not good. Meaning, we've gotta do quite a lot of workshopping here to avoid the war (... which we somehow did in [A Glitch in the Matrix]???) So we've gotta solve the societal issues that went on that lead to the war, such as and primarily functionism.

and why did i try to imagine what wouldve happened to the timeline minus the time travel? Sure, we saw what happened in the main timeline and we saw in the functionist timeline what occurs if Megatron never existed. But what would've happened without the meddling of Brainstorm and crew? No curly straw, no outlier spark in a CC body, no souping up the LL, no whatever the fuck their interaction was with Orion and crew, no Brainstorm beating up Rung because i think that just randomly happened. What if we kill the loop for a minute.

Actually do you know what would go in a cool direction for a no war au?
