#idk i should have a tag for stuff people tagged me in
Explore tagged Tumblr posts

You know i have the opposite opinion, as in i like character scott (mostly my own vision of him) and dont rlly vibe w content creator scott
Personally mostly cus i dont like- yeah no i just dont fw him. I dont hate him i just dont like his humor or storytelling in lore heavier smps like say empires? Specially in empires 1 like the frozen stuff idk. That and some social media posts, other stuff I hear. Im very picky with cc's i watch, and he's one of those that I LOVE from a different pov, but i couldnt handle him as a main watch.
And no, its not just "internalized homophobia" like everyone claims, it can just be. Hey, people can dislike a person or a character for their own reasons or for no reason at all too. I do think longass hate posts are a bit much? and should be tagged accordingly as smajor hate rather than his main fan tag, cus ofc fans dont wanna see that. But idk i just- yeah
The only c!scott i dont like is dl scott cus he reminds me of an abusive ex of mine, but thats why i just try and avoid talking abt dl much at all unless necessary
I think also some people dont like how c!scott treats others or is ""manipulative"", but i just think he's smart. Talkin ur way out of fights on a death game is a skill i wish i had, im both bad at the game and the social game lmao. But uh yeah no, i personally think stuff like "caring more about gem than pearl in wl" is flawed, like one person said, he cares about pearl and knows gem can be a big threat, plus pearl has been dying almost every session, he just wants to keep his allies safe
Shrugs, again, personal opinion kinda thing, everyones entitled to their own opinion and all, just would be nicer people didnt main tag that hate
Sooooo, I'm legitimately trying to understand why people are always so rude to Scott in fandom, Umm, am I missing something? Are we watching the same series lol. He gets called a sweet by every lifer for a reason. And I'll see a bunch of people for some reason really seem to have it out for him. Like, why? Some actual reasons other than I don't like his vibes or that he makes being gay his personality. I'm so confused. I grew up watching Scott and seeing people, and a not very small minority at that, get mad at him.

I can get why yutus so afraid of azul. He's heard a hundred stories about a suave, smug, but clingy octopus and then he meets him and hes this possessive little swinderler who's trying to get him to sell his soul to him and fuck his parent lmao
referencing the tags on this ask about this au
Tako Yutu didn't have the easiest time as a kid.
He was a chubby little thing raised by a single parent who didn't have the clearest memories of his father, or of their past at all really. I wrote Yuu and Yutu as being a sort of outcasts in the community because people thought they were strange, and were skeptical of Yuu's amnesia. Azul! Yutu was really bothered by that, much like his dad he got bullied and sought solace in books, but unlike him Yuu decided to enroll Yutu in some martial arts classes and hey. He was pretty good at those, his submission holds are real bad news, even won him some competitions. But he's not some muscle head even if he sort of looks like one (he didn't really drop his baby weight so much as he did bulk up) so when he gets his first real look at his father... everything in him is screaming that this guy is sketchy. He knows that Azul and the twins are watching him even if he can't see it outright and to make matters worse, when he asks his parent about him they make a face. A face Yutu knows well that he thought was reserved for the annoying nosy couple who lived next door to you and not his father. His father who Yuu's few memories had made sound wonderful; his father who was supposedly talented and hard working, smart and proud of it, but so desperately in love with his parent they still longed for him with broken memories in a completely different world. His father who Yuu had said he was so much like.
"He's not a bad guy." Yuu says and Grim huffs.
"Don't listen to them Henchuman 2." Yutu has no idea how he feels about Grim calling him that. "Azul's reeeeeeeal bad news. If he's interested in ya' it can only mean one thing, he's after your tuna and he's after your magic."
"That's two things." A smooth voice says at the same time he does and for once, Yutu sees surprise on Azul's face when he tries to make eye contact and not carefully calculated confidence.
"Well they do say great minds think alike." His father says and extends a hand. "But I must say you didn't strike me as the shy type, it is Yutu right?" The way he says it, the way he shakes his hand, Yutu knows he at least suspects him. So he smiles and makes sure to make his handshake just a touch too firm when he responds.
"That's right." Yutu is impressed that Azul doesn't flinch even slightly when he pulls back his hand, if anything his little action makes his smile wider. "And not so much shy as just curious and knowing better than to poke my nose where it doesn't belong."
"Not until you've asked anyway." Azul really isn't content with letting him remain ambiguous, he thinks nervously glancing back to Yuu. "But still there really is no need to bother the prefect over such trivial things, if you have questions about me you can just pay me a visit at the Mostro Lounge. My door is always open to poor unfortunate souls such as yourself." Azul smiles at him and adjusts his glasses and Yutu is... impressed even if the thought of being alone with this man terrifies him. But he's going to have to be eventually, Azul really wants to talk to him for some reason and Yutu finds himself wondering if he's going to find it possible to lie, or just what price he will be expected to pay to have the privilege of keeping his secrets.
But when he looks at the way Azul talks to Yuu... he isn't sure if he likes it but he does find it funny. Azul is so horrendously down bad and Yuu is so unaware of it (there's a part of him that thinks Azul might be a little bit jealous of him which he finds really funny). And Yutu understands why Yuu likes Azul so much. He is everything they remembered him being: smart, ambitious, and motivated. It makes him a little more secure in his existence even if he doubts that Azul will like having a son like him. But that's ok too because a son like him is exactly what's needed to make sure his parents get to stay together in this timeline.
now if only he can convince him to stop bugging him for his real name
#<3 asks#twisted wonderland x reader#twst x reader#future kid au#azul ashengrotto x reader#i was in a big azul phase when i wrote all this au stuff so azul and riddle yutu are more fleshed out than some of the others#idk i like talking about this au#and it is nice to be able to post something since my current work is still fighting me for every inch i am so sorry#meh i had a um picked out for azul yutu that required him to have a lot of physical strength to not get hurt using it#so he sort of needs to be stronk ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ but he still feels self conscious because his dad is a smort guy who dislikes muscle heads#... not that i think azul would hate yutu because he is extremely smart and good at reading people and more importantly#he's his c:#and that's really what matters#sorry for the essay in the tags i should be asleep

A fox in the shroud...
Boy, been a while hasn't it! Here's the stages:
There was going to be an alternate shading/lighting attempt for a different time of day, but I'm just. Not feelin it, honestly. (I also accidentally smoothed what was meant to be my rough shading file, so I had to commit.)
#art#fanart#lethal company#lethal company fanart#lethal company art#lethal company kidnapper fox#kidnapper fox#idk what other tags to use 🤷♀️#tbh. i should have kept the paw turned. little paw pad would've been nice. but i accomplished what I wanted to do I think#anyway back to scott pilgrim art- (*people who followed me for anything else collectively groaning in agony*)#(i have more stuff to rb here later I'm just. lazy.)#just noticed the green by the tree on the left. genuinely have no clue how or why that happened but okay

I’m a trans man that recently got diagnosed with hyper mobile eds, so now seeing Steve makes me extra happy, because cool disabled ftm rep. Thanks for making the radical dude bro, he’s funky.
same disability (waving hand emoji)
Always extremely fulfilling to know my work makes people happy in some small way, it means a lot. Thank you for sharing with me
#I dont talk about having eds cause its not specifically really relevant to my work#been diagnosed with it since 17. woag 10 years next april...#anyways. yeah idk I like the blog to be about my art and I'm used to people asking me a LOT of questions about EDS or disability or canes#just a lot of stuff unrelated to my art. I'm happy to talk about it but I don't want it to be the focus of my blog!#So I've p much chosen to mostly just. not talk about it. even though I'm literally fine talking about it#it's just rarely relevant and no one needs to know LOL#but. I also know that EDS can feel very lonely#and that it's really nice to know other people out there have it#so. hi anon you're not alone#also just in case. literally don't feel bad about anything in the tags here LOL#mostly just like 'please people do not start sending me asks about whether or not you should go to the doctor'#or asks about ableist family members#or venting about pain...#just a lot of invasive and boundary crossing asks the more I talk about it hahahah#but I don't mind sharing at all.#sorry I think I lost the plot on this one#good luck on your journey. starting to accomodate yourself does wonders#and really just extremely happy my work could reach you in this way#sending you love#asks#anon

So have u seen marc getting dragged into the ducati box, on enea’s seat? Not even a mind game there but just crushing ur rival till the end. A lil bit cruel, a lil bit careless, a very marc thing to do
Just for everyone saying he keeps the fight on track, he does but he can also play very well with the narratives
no I did not see... I did some creative searching on reddit and twitter with its extremely broken search function and I think this is what you're referring to? did he literally sit on bastianini's chair? in general... uh. I don't see things unless they are dropped in my inbox or happened twenty years ago... pls. a link
anyhow. it is pretty inconsiderate but it's also not like. the height of psychological warfare, is it. just someone used to being the centre of attention surrounded by people who are used to him being the centre of attention - reflected in the eagerness of factory ducati to welcome him. one who doesn't give a shit about most people, including bastianini. barely even counts as crushing your rival because bastianini is basically competitively irrelevant from now on, like the question of whether this would bother that guy probably doesn't even register. you could say it's aimed at pecco, but that bloke's had two weeks to make his peace with losing the title and probably welcomes the chance to focus on what comes next
obviously the act of inserting yourself into this new team and this aggressive borderline performative cheerfulness marc's been shooting for this year does have an ulterior motive. and yeah, marc does play with that! he's gotten very boisterous, very much about asserting himself, emphasising again and again and again how much fun he's having. inevitably draws the attention to himself. it's a kind of weaponised joy, one without compromise or care for those left in the shadows. you perform your way to winning, right. and, well, I suppose he learnt that from the best. a bit cruel and a bit careless is a decent enough characterisation... this idea that marc keeps his fights on-track is silly but would also make him more boring than he is if it were true. he's there to win, and sometimes you're going to be a bit tacky and a bit crass along the way. the joys of competition
#'marc doesn't play mind games' is such a juvenile opinion that at a certain point you should simply ignore its proponents#i have so little respect for the concept of keeping fights on-track that this would not ever register as a good thing for me#//#brr brr#current tag#batsplat responds#i mean icl it probably doesn't help that seeing bastianini's race unravel was my personal highlight of the day#i was trying to play in my head whether there's any combination of riders where this would bother me#and idk i'm just not quite sentimental enough for it. i'm pro kicking people when they're down#been thinking bez should get over himself all weekend and all the marc/honda stuff last year left me completely cold#so this might just be a universal heartlessness

just got a dm abt one of my posts and y'all please don't try and show the hermits (or any minecraft youtuber or content creator for that matter) my posts, i'm uncomfortable with it and don't want any of my posts shown to a cc. if they stumble upon it naturally that's unfortunate but i can live with it since i do maintag a lot (something i REALLY need to stop doing tbh i already know i need to make a tagging system just for my blog that wont clog results) but going out of ur way to show a cc is entirely different and something i am not comfortable with.
no hate to the person at all but even if i wasn't a little silly and weird with it sometimes i wouldn't be comfortable with it, i want my blog to be a purely fandom only space with none of the creators involved <3 please respect this
#which is imo how a fandom space should be#i'm old fashioned and it breaks the fandom etiquette rules i stand by#i ship and stuff and absolutely NO cc needs to be subjected to that please and thank you even if it's a non-ship post#not saying hermits and others cant hang out and interact if they wish hell no but like....#if you as any person with a following willingly go into a fandom space you have to expect to see some things you find weird#doesn't even necessarily mean ship just stuff the cc finds weird :v idk im not phrasing this right but like#the rule with shipping around any sort of media has been to keep it away and not show the creators anything !!! and thats fallen out#of practice the past few years with ppl getting more and more comfortable demanding boundaries and personal info from creators#which isn't right imo bc its like you're trying to see how much you can get away with. u want a guide on how to interact and social skills#which is... huh??? just be polite and keep anything weird away from them like what we were doing#some folks nowadays need “permission” to ship stuff even from SHOWS and shit with no real people and its like wow... huh....#u need it to be canon?? u need everything told to u by the show?? wheres the imagination. the spirit.#the making of everything so far removed from what it once was#like that guy that played nick from heartstopper that had to be outed to play a gay guy. like#idk im so sick of the boundary fandom ppl in mcyt 'what if they saw and made it uncomfortable!! im going to show them!!!!'#you are making them MUCH more uncomfortable than i am by GOING INTO THEIR FACE AND DEMANDING THEY LOOK AT IT!!#AND DEMANDING BOUNDARIES N SHIT... CRAZY.... idk the hermits especially its weird to me bc clearly they understand fandom etiquette#and the dynamic im talking about. most of them understand that by going into fandom spaces they will see things they dont like#which is why a lot of them only like fanart and answer questions asked by fans. even on tumblr !!! where the weird ppl are!!!#they also all seem to understand they are playing characters (citing joel cleo and grian as examples) for their audiences#which is. smth the audience itself doesnt understand most of the time anymore. oh my god they all died in real life in hermitcraft season 8#idk hermitblr used to be a lot more okay with hermitshipping n then a bunch of ppl from other fandoms moved in and its all more negative#and makes me sad. idk...#i never meant for this blog to gain almost 500 followers i just wanted to make silly little ship posts and now im scared to#bc ive gotten hate and its.... bwugh.... tempted to remake blogs and make one thats very clearly just for me and a few weirdos#whatever i went off on a tangent in the tags as usual just pls dont show creators my posts even non-ship ones for this reason#jamies bad posts#talking in tags#serious posts#<- ig??? idk

shirt with a heart and child of divorce written on top but then there’s a picture of huntclaire. you wouldnt get it. i do
#child of divorce but theyre married and love each other but actually they’re divorcees#theyre like those couples that get married and then get divorced and then get married again. actually that’s so chic#you should be divorced by the time you’re 27. a little divorce makes life more exciting#do not consider red carpet diaries at all when writing claire but if i were to consider it#she wouldve broken up with hunt sometime after hollywood u and then it would’ve been kind of a divorce#<- well my timeline for hollywood u i mean. that would be in 2016#they get back together but they have even stronger + weirder divorcees vibes#claire is actually a divorced woman. when you think about it. that’s also a great descriptor for hunt but in a different way#so theyre like when you put two spiritually divorced people in a relationship#this makes a lot of sense to me. actually#they have the most loving relationship ever which is gross and disgusting. but when you look at them they have this weird vibe about them#theyre like bitter exes who know too much of each other and one of them is way too comfortable saying stuff in public#what do you mean theyre together and in love#huntclaire#actually i need them so be super fucking weird about each other in public#claire is too familiar with a guy who does Not seem to like her at all. why is she saying this stuff. claire thats tmi#he would do anything for her. he will still argue with her over the most mundane things ever.#her coffee order sucks and he’s not saying all That Stuff to a barista. kill him on the spot.#claire gets an extra cookie bc she threatened to cry#they’re just kinda stuck together idk. something something his line about the universe bending to get them together. he’s bitter about it#it’s also a form of foreplay but i don’t know what the tag limits are#just know that claire is weird about that as well#i mean tbf of course is foreplay what else would this be. how is this dynamic feasible otherwise#it’s*

Anyone else remember the little 88x31 buttons from older internet days? I've been remembering them a lot lately.
I make ffxiv ones in msp when I'm in queue or my bf is flying me around between quests.
#shoutout to anyone else who actually uses leg graze#i originally did just the two korpokkur but i made the yukinko this afternoon and its easily my favorite of the 3#and i love the moogles but they dont really fit as a button? maybe i should just make a few more stamps as a series#im not happy with the tomestone - the circuitry feels out of place to me. i want to find some other way to frame it in the button#carrots was last night because we were working on lopporit msq :3#i love the goobbue. i love goobbues ever since ffxi they're so chill#i wanna make a version of the rotting goobbue in amdapor#i love that one too#my art#88x31#idk what to tag this... its technically pixal art but i always have imposter syndrom bc i see people do INCREDIBLE pixel art illustrations#and this is just like... myspace webring hobbyist stuff#ffxiv#ill post them on twitter and bsky when i do a few more i think - right now theyre only in my carrd#and carrd makes them look really crunchy. im scared what tumblr is gonna do to them when i hit post#and i just really really really hate the sound /sweep makes - i think it should count as griefing to afk in public spaces doing it#but thats just my unpopular opinion as someone with audio sensitivity. the emote should not loop

Random thing that annoys me for no reason is when people make human au Maul and they make him white. Why would you do that to him. What do you have against brown punks who kill.
#hm i should make an original post tag#maul#darth maul#to ME he should look native brazilian. i am giving him face/body paintings and beautiful brown eyes.#idk about north american natives but brazilian natives are really into face/body painting#usually geometric line patterns in black with red base and/or details#the specific patterns have to do with culture‚ age‚ social standing and stuff#which is like. perfect translation of zabrak tattoos into a human context#why go the coward route and make him a white punk with red dyed hair and black eyeshadow when you can be interesting#explore the fact that he was a child who was removed from his culture and only knows of it what he carries on his skin#make him an outcast due to his identity first and by choice second#he's not just some random scary looking guy with a grudge against obi-wan#he's a guy taken from his people and raised for violence by an abusive master

Tiny reliquary update: I got toothpicks and now I can get the main body of this thing put together! I wish I had my callipers though, they’re in my toolbox back at my mum’s place and they would make taking these tiny measurements so much easier but at least I have my steel rules :’)
#art talk#should I start tagging this stuff with a specific model making tag? like if people don’t really want these updates on their dash? idk#if you’re not particularly bothered about these kinds of posts where I waffle about drawing or crafts then just block ‘art talk’ for now#that’s the main tag I use for. well. talking about art lol#but anyway!!! I’m excited!!!!!#I get paid on the 8th so I’m going to take a walk up to the haberdashery and see what they have in the way of purple velvet#I need to stock up on thread and embroidery floss anyway because the last few patches I made cleared me out#I also want to see what beads they have#and maybe if I can’t find the things I need there I’ll go to hobbycraft instead#hhehehehehehhehe it’s been so long since I had a fun little project like this. I’m very happy :) :)

Tyria Pride Day 1 EU! A very eventful day! It started kinda slow, as I wasn't feeling very energetic, but then event 1: General Almorra appeared (other names censored just in case)
Event 2: council chair & frog incident
Started off with having the new chair out and people joined, then the frog incident happened, perhaps as punishment due to my overly arrogant behaviour
Then Tyria Pride from Anet came to hang out, that was a surprise
Event 3: Boylovers [BOYS] Guild creation
I got encouraged by Luisa of Luisa's guild of girlfriends to make a boyfriend version of it since I talked about it a bit throughout the march
And so here it is. I didn't really know what to do with the guild emblem so I just modeled it after Kivuntuoja since he was the one I was on when creating it and my representative lover of boys. With a heart background of course.
Event 4: Boy Juice
Saw this person asking if anyone wants T in say and responded and to my surprise got this mail from them. Bless this person..
And lastly the group photos at the end
Very fun first day!
#gw2#guild wars 2#guildwars2#tyria pride#tyria pride 2024#gw2 screenshots#kivuntuoja#boylovers#i totally should have made the guild tag BL but i was busy thinking about boys#kinda wanna do things with this guild i did get some people wanting to join but idk if any were up for doing stuff or just for laughs#alas i had to log off to take a break before na time#gotta rest before going for another round#anyway if anyone wants to join boylovers let me know

also whats weird is like, that mushroom gotta be like ATTACHED to his brain?? no way he doesnt have brain damage from that. also its not hard to imagine that with all his intense mushroom use, that he'd have some sort of substance use disorder. and he is, suddenly, in a DEATH CULT. actually. i dont feel like anyone talks about the last part. ?? doesnt anyone wonder how hard it would be to adjust just suddenly. being in a cult? we dont really know how his life was before but if he wasnt in a cult beforehand then id imagine all the Cult Stuff would be at least a little uncomfortable.
I guess it would depend to what extent we're leaning into the parasite actually being a cordycep. Because if we're going full throttle on that, teeechnically cordyceps don't attach to the brain at all and only control the musculature; hence why I always hc'd that there's two different mushrooms involved, with the menticide doing the brain fuckery and the cordycep doing. The everything else
But at the same time it could very well just be advanced cordycep and we can make up whatever rules we want ! But YES, regardless, there is some brain nonsense happening that would ABSOLUTELY have everlasting effects on this ant. Not to mention if the cordyceps DID have control of his muscular system, then his entire body has got to be feeling the effects of it as well.
So he's here, in a death cult, probably having to re-learn how to walk and suffering extreme withdrawal symptoms as well as memory loss.
ANd no nobody ever considers the full ramifications of the death cult because everybody is a coward and won't consider how horrifying cults actually are!!!!!! And to be a disabled old man suddenly thrust into a scary ass scenario where people are being sacrificed and brought back to life around you while you can't even remember how old you are or where you've been the past few years because time was fucked while you were Shroomed, it HAS to be HORRIFYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But at the same time it really just works out from a cultist perspective. He's already isolated, vulnerable, and probably only halfway lucid at any given point. He'd be extremely easy to manipulate and keep dependent on the cult. After all, they're keeping him safe there, it's dangerous out there. (Not to mention him just feeling some inherent loyalty to the Lamb upon becoming sober, which certainly wouldn't do him any favors)
Like what's he going to do? Leave? Stumble out, suffering withdrawl, into the Lands of the Old Faith?? As an old man??????????
He has no CHOICE but to make peace with where he is. Despite all the questions about if his FAMILY is even STILL ALIVE. Despite having no idea what he DID while under the influence. Despite the HORRORS around every CORNER
It's FUCKED!!!!! It's AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#i think too hard about the cult stuff because . And this might sound weird but idk. I was obsessed with cults when I was younger#There was just always something so fascinating about it to me#Like. Horrifying. Uniquely and utterly horrifying. But so fascinating#Reading and watching the stories of people who have escaped from cults is so fucking scary. Just how easily people can be taken#advantage of. And then lengths some cults go to. It's horrible. It's awful#But yeah I did like whole class presentations on cults and made multiple storylines based on cults because again. Weird fascination#So when it comes to cotl specifically it's like. I look around at everyone like Ohhh Ok.

I Totally Get not wanting to delve into all that. but also.
