#idk I just had a random idea lol

[toon-topaz]

Slay the Princess but 7 Deadly Sins because I'm an autistic nerd who loves to arbitrarily sort things into boxes

Title says it all really. Gonna do this for the Voices and Princesses, just for fun

Pride: Hero (unsure about this, he's very susceptible to flattery and praise so there's that) and Tower (for obvious reasons) Envy: Broken (I think he might possibly resent the others quite a bit) and Nightmare (Wraith would also work, they want the freedom you have and have no qualms forcing you to give it to them) Greed: Opportunist (will do whatever he thinks will give him the upper hand or the best reward) and Wild (the only vessel to actually break out of the construct a little, to peek into the infinite) Wrath: Cheated (super salty about everything, swears every other sentence) and Fury (self explanatory) Lust: Stubborn and Adversary (listen, they're both super horny about fighting, we all know this) Sloth: Contrarian (does literally anything but what he's told, generally apathetic to whatever's going on) and Damsel (content to sit around and wait for someone else to tell her what to do, has literally zero agency by design) Gluttony: Cold (turns off sensation just to achieve his goal no matter what, gluttony's all about excess and ya boy sure is pushing his luck) and Beast (literally eats you lol)

I had to really reach for some of these lol, but if you have your own ideas feel free to share

1:30am & thinking about all the bipoc women writers who went out of their way to be so incredibly kind to me while only having met briefly… like the author I met a couple months before moving to school who was so excited & encouraging when I told her I was studying writing… & like the caribbean poet who bonded with me after learning we were both guyanese & who comforted me when I was struggling in first year in a majorly white city & as one of the only bipoc in my department… & to the Black poet who kept in touch with me when I was transitioning to university & who was one of the first ppl to message me when I got off my first flight to a new city… & to the Cree poet whose reading I attended in 2021 who talked to me outside the venue in the cold about indigeneity at a time where I badly wanted to learn more about my ancestors but didn’t know where to start… she has no idea that that one conversation drove me to research (as best I could) my ancestry & in doing so learn more about my family & the language I couldn’t name standing on that corner… literally ily bipoc women !!!!

She could be interpreted as such! It would be just a silly and entirely unreciprocated kid crush, though, and Bone would be entirely blind to it regardless. I didn't really intend for her to look so bashful in that last panel, but she definitely ended up with a "oh my gosh im being talked to by this guy i find handsome omg omg".

Bone's role to everyone is really hard for me to put into words. It's somewhere between familial and paternal and platonic?? He's just a big protective sweetheart, and I feel like everybody could use a little of that in their life, lol. I can't even pinpoint Scorch, Brick, and Bone's dynamics properly, I guess the closest term for them is just Found Family?? I specifically try and keep Brick and Bone's relationship up for interpretation, but all that feels like matters is that they're very close.

1/3 of the way done of this last page, then I can finally post it all o|-<

[sskk-manifesto]

The best 68 seconds in anime history (and a 22 minutes 32 seconds of prelude to that, I guess)

[lieutenantselnia]

2 things that have absolutely nothing to do with each other, but are kinda related to this blog, and that have been on my mind recently:

I'd love to make some kind of small custom merch some day, either of just my f/os or actually my self ships. Like stickers or a pin, maybe even a small keychain. Even if it was just for myself (bc idk if anyone else would even be interested in it, especially when it's including not just the canon character but my s/i as well), but I think it would be cute <3

What if I made a Davy x Selena x Maccus crack ship? For no particular reason other than silliness

@thefvrious

gael had a rough night, well...could it really be called all that rough if he had spent it feeling as light as a feather yet somehow placed under a weighted blanket at the very same time? one may make the argument that there's never such thing as too much weed, but there was. there most certainly was, especially when it had been paired with hard liquor. which may have been the true root of the problem. the man wasn't usually a big drinker, but he'd found himself chasing practically half a bottle and paired up with the thc was a serious combo for needing a good lie down. he'd somehow managed to crawl in to the backseat of his car to pass out, but the next morning -- or was it already afternoon? he woke up to the confusing sensation that he was... moving? he hadn't even remembered falling asleep in the car at all, but he groggily wiped at his face until he felt awake enough to sit up and realize that someone was in fact driving...and this wasn't his car. "where we going?" he had the audacity to calmly ask while peeking in to the front seat.

so that design i showed last night (catLurk)

ignore the fact i didn't draw hair i was trying to decide if things worked or not lol

[coridallasmultipass]

Fuck yeahhhh! Pulled out my mom's tapes.

It's a little stretched from where it was resting, but the rest of it sounds beautiful. A lot better than on my MP3 player speakers. (The boombox is rough, but has legit bass boosting and equalizers easily accessible.)

Vulgar Display is the album for the tour when my mom saw them live, since my dad was a bouncer at the venue and snuck her in, and she got to hangout backstage with them - a year before I was even born, so I missed out lol.

Fucking wild that big metal bands used to tour in our rural area. Not any more, this area has FULLY cemented itself as a sleepy rich people wine country tourist destination. Heaven forbid someone say "fuck" out loud or turn up the distortion. Might cause a serious disturbance in the neighborhood. Don't you know that children exist??

By the time I was a teen, I was making my adults drive me over an hour to go see my fave band (once when I was lucky), or even multiple hours to LA to see them, but only for my fave. Metal bands completely overlooked our area, and rightfully so, because it sucks, but. Obviously, that sucked for me as well.

[More off-topic ranting below the cut/long post:]

Honestly, culture in general is feeling really cemented and sterile to me right now. Maybe because of what happened last year (personally, but also nationally). Maybe it's because I live in my own little counter-culture bubble of me and whatever filters its way through the internet to me, and I feel a duty to remain weird. But like, shit like metal, and using language the way it was meant to be used (not censoring words for the algorithm), participating in the adult side of fandom; it all feels like a nice, safe blanket of non-marketability. ((I know, metal is very marketable for the right audience, but certainly not in my area.)) Like, if I see something niche, it feels more genuine than anything manufactured for a mainstream viewer (or inherently manufactured to comply with content restrictions, not just censored). ((There's a case to be made for fun, of course, but that can also be a downfall because fun is profitable.)) But seriously, I hear a metal riff and it's like, oh, this is comfortable. Not even just metal, not even just music. It's the same with finding niche explicit fan art. Like, it was made for the fuck of it, not to generate social points in a system designed to suppress non-conformity.

It just feels like, in a world where a lot of content is just straight up online-only now - that venue Pantera played in my area has not been a thing since the 90s, despite seeing many other big names play there - why are people in the digital world no longer able to cuss and be loud and be individual? Surely advertisers are not pearl-clutching in 2025 (I'm half-serious, half-knowing that they are). I can grab any one of my old metal magazines from the mid 2000s-early 2010s and point to ads that were okay with being shown next to parental advisory lyrics. ((To be fair, I do remember my fave band at the time posting about how they weren't allowed to say "fuck" at one venue and told everyone to shout "firetruck" on the opening line instead. It was hilarious.))

[ Okay, tangent, because it was a church, but still, LMAO: (Shaky cam)

Lol. That was hilarious to watch unfold over Twitter back then. I don't remember what the other contenders were for the opening line, but damn, I mean, firetruck, patience of the saints in that church to let a band play their song called 'Immaculate Misconception' - glad those kids got their fun. MiW were so little still. ]

But anyway, I'm not about to start some conspiracy theory about censorship here, so I'll stop while I'm ahead, and you can have some other words instead:

How are people expected to let off steam when they're restrained by Terms and Conditions and ever increasing property values? The walls of society are Landlord White, no expression, no personality allowed here. Monetized life doesn't come with an ad-free subscription, so let their model define you. The illusion of trend, already dead before deletion, a diet of headlines - your only news.

...Anyway, quirky social ranting aside. This tape fucks. I REALLY needed to hear it on a different, older device. On a different medium than digital. I love tapes, man. I get they're not a preservable-friendly medium, but if you ask me, for metal in particular, the mild artifacts of age and an old hand-me-down boombox add character (I sound like Red Hood now lmao). It's nice and dirty and no one else is hearing it with the exact same qualities.

I love having physical media. I love not hearing ads in between songs. I love that I don't have to pay, to not hear an ad. I love that I'm not wasting rural-speed, metered internet on hearing an ad. Yeah, I have CDs and my MP3 player-dock/phone files too, but again, I wanted to hear it as it should be experienced - through bigger speakers from a well-loved cassette.
