Are you planning on making a wedding fic of Burning Spice and Golden Cheese?

I might have a short story planned, yeah 👀 but you won't be getting that for a while yet. I want to get out my other fics and short stories first. Let's continue on this little slow-burn enemies to lovers journey (and the redemption arc for that one enemy nestled in there lol) for a bit longer. The wedding can be the nice, fulfilling reward waiting for us at the end of the road, yeah?

after just. so ungodly many times. SO many trial and error rounds. i have achieved:

LEGS!!

the original pattern didn't differentiate between the front and back leg shaping at all, which... i think also heavily contributed to the weird rat vibe, honestly, and i still have no idea how i was supposed to stitch the paws into a right angle like the pattern said to.

i made the legs a little narrower, added some short row shaping at the ankles and the back leg knees, and added a cap at the top for the shoulder/hip joints to set the legs more perpendicular to the body, and that seems to have done it!

The more I write this fic, the more implausible certain beats become.

And on one hand, who gives a fuck? It's funny, it's sweet, it's emotional, I'm playing with my little character dolls.

On the other? The facts aren't right, that's not how that works you bitch. (Cue incoherent wailing)

Suspension of disbelief for other people? Cakewalk. Suspension of disbelief for my own works? Near impossible.

hey pyrrhic, I'm the anon who asked about adhd and executive function, whom you recommended meds to. I fully agree, problem is, I AM medicated (my bad did not include that relevant info). and I'm doing way better than before but nonetheless, this still happens. maybe I just gotta find a way to shoulder through the stuck door that makes it an Engaging Enough Challenge, so to speak (and make sleep/routine/self care improvements no doubt). thanks for reading and answering, I appreciate it!

maybe you should be medicated more

I've never read any of the Sonic comics--Archie or IDW--not for lack of interest, but lack of motivation. Finally took the plunge into IDW and am currently reading the first volume and I gotta say, I'm kinda disappointed at how little screen time Mr. Tinker got. Like, I understand that Big Bad Evil Eggman isn't a character you can just put on the back burner--and him getting his memories back was something I expected--but I wish that other villains had a stage to stand on that wasn't being held up by him. Even when other villains and antagonists have the spotlight, Eggman is still always in the background.

And besides that, Mr. Tinker is a FASCINATING character. He's not just an amnesiac Eggman, he's living proof that Eggman is not naturally inclined towards evil. I just wish he stayed as Mr. Tinker for a bit longer,,

I know it's probably been said before BUT STILL

the hallmark of Peak Fiction is shoehorning a very serious conversation about a very serious past conflict in an unrelated scene, in the form of snarky banter played for laughs, so that the writer can pretend they listen to audience feedback, while not needing to fully think of addressing the issue and fully sweeping it under the rug because it would be inconvenient to paint the involved characters as dumbasses/vile. Bonus points if it literally goes nowhere and it can be removed from the scene without affecting the flow of the dialogue.

And if it makes me want to eat my own bones because I feel the urge to beat the involved characters to death with a nailed bat, that's just a plus :)

[mavibonghostexpress]

Can you draw Thomas as Tinker Bell, Edward as Silvermist, James as Fawn, Emily as Rosetta, Toby as Iridessa, and Gordon as Vidia?

Hey! I'm only doing one of them for now, since it's almost 1 am here lol

[sterkeyra]

Goddamnit Lu, your guts are falling out after all.

What's with your guys healing abilities ahhhh

throughout the whole show whenever Christina popped up my brain went 'oooooo this is so Beth in What the Sea Wants, the Sea Will Have vibes' i'm never not thinking of the snippet about the whale bone corset 😵‍💫

Yessss, she's so gorgeous in the series and I feel like she gets a lot of the best costuming, as she should. My brain literally was like pirate au pirate au pirate au the entire time she was on screen too, haha, now we just need Manny in a period drama too for gifset purposes 👀.

CHANGING STATES

Lately, something has taken hold / of me—not hunger, not shame. It is like a flower / blooming in the injury. —Richie Hofmann

On the evening Jeremiah decides he’ll drive thirty hours to Maryland, the other half of his mattress is cold and Madonna’s on the radio. In his bedroom, he taps his cigarette on the windowsill, the ash scattering into rainy blue hour, and listens. Time goes by so slowly, she goes, her voice singed through his boombox’s broken speakers. He’s meant to replace it, though he’s meant to do a lot of things: check the mail, make a quiche, buy lightbulbs, call his sister, take up cross-stitch, recycle an olive jar, move his bed to the opposite side of his room. But time goes by so slowly, and Jeremiah would know—he’s twenty-one, yet feels he’s been alive for much, much longer.

While I want to improve my general gposes, I also really want to work on my photo editing so that pieces pop a lot more. I love they colors and style of the game, but they don't translate as well to a still image. While I was editing this old screenshot of Stan, I also played with a little collage as well. I definitely need more practice, but I'm pleased with where I'm heading!

This is the edited piece:

and this is the original:

I watched the first two episodes of Back to the Sewer and is it weird that I'm having the inverse reaction I had to Fast Forward?

Fast Forward

Can forgive the changes to the overall art style

Is incredibly conflicted on the writing despite FF having a lot of good concepts and characters

Back to the Sewer

Can forgive the changes to the writing

Put that art style back where it came from or so help me god

you need to STOP IT with these ho/me/stu/ck aus. first psychonauts, now ninjago? STOP! BONKING YOU WITH A NEWSPAPER!

NOOOOO DON'T BONK ME!!! it won't stop me unfortunately, i love adding hs trolls to things 😌

anyway 💅 alternia as another realm within the 16 and maybe there was an invasion of ninjago at some point in the past, i'm still working out details. but the basic gist is a bunch of trolls immigrated to ninjago and honestly between the serpentine and munce and geckle and merlopians and the occasional skulkin and also the fucking. floating jaguars and boogie bears and everything else they fit right in tbh. they mostly keep to themselves but there is a bit of mingling between humans trolls and serpentine (up until the serpentine war at least), but trolls as elemental masters is next to unheard of given that trolls and humans can't really reproduce together that way.

except when wu goes to find all the holders of the elements of creation for the green ninja prophecy, well. Colton Bekkit and Nya are very obviously trolls, and wu knew that his brother had somehow managed to have a son with Tomeseek. what he wasn't expecting was for the masters of ice and lightning to have been raised by trolls, too. things are about to get chaotic (colton ends up crushing on the other three in three different quadrants pretty much. immediately. nya and kai had to raise each other and so nya's not really in touch with troll culture. things are only going to go off the rails from there)

totk spoilers but it just occurred to me last night that it's wildly unrealistic that my beloved zelda got flung 10000 years into the past WITH A DIGITAL CAMERA and didn't take ANY pictures while she was there
