[magne7ic-marz1pan]

hello, i've been summoned once more, that's me!!

i get this question SO MUCH HAHAH you have NO IDEA how many times i've been asked abt where my name came from

and to be honest, it's just something i thought of when i was younger. up 2 that point i had just been going by the same of my current sona, so one day outta the blue i just went

"...man, i should make a username."

and thus i did. i noticed a lot of Cool People had like. food usernames? so i cycled through a couple of things before settling on sourcream

and then it just slowly evolved into my current name! i added the numbers in place of letterz, and then started adding an underscore due to username limitations, and it just stuck! i've been s0ur_cr3am (or some variation of it, peep my url) ever since then!

honestly, i've been thinking about changing it.. i like the name, but something about it just doesn't rlly click with me anymore.

maybe something like "m4gical_marz1pan" or something like that... something 2 do with marzipan, i like the name marzipan. idk if i actually will change it though, lolz ☆

ah.. mostly everyone i know has alr been tagged here... uh..

@scooter-mcnut o7 o/ any randos feel free 2 add aswell

Tag game🎉

Tag your moots and ask them where they got the idea for their tumblr accounts name!

For my name it was a nickname I was giving back in middleschool! One of our teacher had a system where we worked with 'wifi' eachtime we talked in class we lost a bar of the "wifi" (was a weird joke and we never held count on that) All the kids usually joked if they needed 'wifi' , they would borrow mine if they wanted to talk more. (I was incredibly shy in middle school, I only talked to like 3 people at school;^;)

They called me Ms. Wifi because of that. I just thought it would be funny if I put 'miss' instead of 'ms' because of my terrible actual wifi connection I have at home lol.

That's my story! Now moots, only if you guys want to, tell us your story.

Someone please get El out of there

Is it not obvious what this is? Do you really not know what you should be doing? SAY THE DAMN WORDS.

Why do you think she’s doubting you? Can you really not tell?

Mike, sweetheart, your relationship balancing skills are a terror to your friends, family, and romantic partners.

This is why people found Midleven cuter in S1/2, because the day you made it official marked the beginning of El’s doubts in your feelings for her.

You cannot seem to grasp that El is your friend AND your girlfriend, and somehow treating El like a girlfriend equates to treating her like shit.

You cannot make this up. El needs WORDS because Mike’s ACTIONS actively make her feel unloved. She does not feel it, so she wants some kind of verbal/written affirmation because of how emotionally distant Mike feels.

(someone talented please edit Elmike to Hamilton’s Burn or send an existing edit my way, thank you ♡)

His actions do not align to her expectations of love, not that it’s a good idea to let TV define romance for you, but you’re allowed to want/expect certain things in a relationship, and El isn’t getting that.

And let’s not act like Mike isn’t good at making people feel loved/cared for. Will is in love with him for a reason. El loves him for a reason.

(It was difficult to pick scenes for this because I’ve read arguments for how these aren’t really romantic at all, but from 12/13-year old, “fresh out the lab” Eleven, it’s as romantic as romance gets imo)

El has been trying to convince herself that their relationship is better than it is, because once she admits to herself that it’s not working, what does she do?

Her day-to-day life isn’t that great. Sure, she has her new family in the Byers, but her dad recently passed away and she’s being bullied at school. She has no friends outside of Will, and while I’m sure their relationship is great (wasn’t explored that much tbh), he can’t keep her from feeling isolated, and his own trauma with bullying keeps him from standing up for her.

One good, unchanging thing she has is her relationship with Mike. He’s the one who took her in and housed her, he taught her what it meant to be a friend, and… I’m having a bit of trouble here lol. I was going to say:

Never used her for her powers (not true lol)

When she was burnt out, he never expected more from her (not true LOL)

Never treated her differently for her powers (for this one, he found her awesome in an awestruck way rather than a Brenner “I’m gonna exploit this” way, but when he thought she lied about Will/hurt Lucas he was on her ass lmao)

My girl has those ‘first love’ blinders on. I keep having to ask myself what she sees in him besides ‘first person to accept me + we kissed’ like besides the latter, Dustin was right there. A lot of the parts of Mike I enjoy don’t reveal themselves around El outside S1 (barely S2). He’s shown as caring and protective, but he’s like that for all of his friends?? Especially when they’re in danger so idk what’s different. I’d have to peruse the milkvan tag to get a hint, but I’ll probably get a better idea watching Sleeping Beauty.

I’m a firm believer that Mike kept it ambiguous because he didn’t want to admit what the real problem was to Will.

“I couldn’t tell El that I love her.” - simple as that. Must be something about Will that has him holding his tongue because after S3 I doubt he’d have that much trouble telling Lucas.

Are you embarrassed? If you thought it wasn’t that serious you wouldn’t have told Will that it was something you “can’t come back from”. Is love serious to you, Mike? Because you can’t love El in the way she wants, do you think you’re incapable of it? Do you feel wrong? Do you not want Will to know?

Hit a little too close to home, huh.

(and let’s not get into the "team, friends, best friends" scene they had together like what was the point in having them make contact a SECOND time.

They already established a connection between them. Mike could’ve asked to be a team after the "guess it's gonna be up to us again," and Will could’ve taken the painting offscreen (the focus shot of Will grabbing the painting gets me so bad like WHY), but instead they wanted them to blush and giggle over each other AGAIN before they got to the van.

Make it make non-Byler sense I'm begging.)

You’d think that’d be good enough, but Mike still feels conflicted and has to make it Will’s problem (actually, Will kinda made it his problem. The way they shot the triple take makes it seem like Will dragged Mike away for another talk because of how spacey he was being. Who knows.)

Tf do you mean you didn’t know what to say? “Maybe if I said that thing” so you DO know? It’s painfully cut and dry if you take emotions out of it. El wants Mike to say that he loves her, so to fix this, to come back from that fight, Mike has to say he loves her.

Why is it such an internal battle for him? If I were to take it at face value, I’d chalk it up to what he said in the van scene.

So your solution is to push your relationship to a point that has El crying and throwing all the loveless letters you sent to the floor? To tell her that she’s incredible and a superhero and that she should know how you feel about her because, despite the tears streaming down her face and her DIRECTLY asking you if you still love her, she must know how amazing she is too?

NEWSFLASH, Queerler! She’s learning just how much she doesn’t need you right now, so I guess it’s time to face your fears!

This isn’t what I meant, but go off ig (don’t, actually, this is awful for everyone involved).

No way you expect El to buy this. You’ve expressed this fear of "losing El" to Will, I’ll give you that, but nothing you’ve done IN FRONT OF EL has conveyed this. Your letters weren’t helping, and you being there in person only made it worse.

Eagerly awaiting the day Michael Wheeler stops lying.

Well, I guess he doesn’t lie ALL the time.

CC idk if you're familiar with black butler but while I was trying to explain to my husband last night why Barb was difficult to write for I described him as "Sebastian coded" and that got me thinking Barbatos and Sebastian in a room with MC. What's the tension like. Are they tag teaming or competing with each other. It sounds like due trouble and my heart and soul are here for it

Silver my love~

I have not seen Black Butler, but I have heard about it! I really should watch it, I know enough to know Sebastian is also a demon butler and obviously that's something I quite enjoy lol.

Now I don't feel that I know enough about Sebastian's character to say how he might react, but I have always thought of Barbatos as somewhat possessive. And yet he also cares highly about pleasing MC. So I kinda imagine him wanting to be competitive initially, but if MC is like I want you to play nice, he would try his best lol. Or potentially there's a bit of a blend. Like they're pretending to work together to pleasure MC, but there's this underlying competition where they're desperately trying to one up each other.

Either way, MC is losing their whole mind because two demon butlers focusing all their attention on them is gonna be absolutely amazing no matter what~

Ahaha my mind is totally in the gutter right now. I kinda like jealous!Barb ngl asldkjffkj. I'm kinda imagining Barb losing his cool over it. Oh but it'd also be pretty hot if it turned out they were into each other a;ldkfjdkfj. There are SO MANY possibilities~

[chronic-escapist]

here’s a statement of my existence

I always looked up to people that were like, you know, the popularised version of androgyny, before i even knew anything about anything else. i used to say that being a woman was the least interesting thing about me, and i still kind of do, but in more of like my gender is the least interesting thing about me. I was so uncomfortable with certain gender norms, not necessarily for a general society but personally, because i never felt like they related to me. And it wasn’t internalised misogyny - i was so into the whole ‘not like other girls’ thing, but not in a way that made fun of others, more in a way of ‘oh, i don’t feel like that, i don’t feel whatever i think i’m meant to feel collectively’ - it was just that I didn’t see that as who i was. I wish someone had told me that the boxes that I saw as the only options don’t have to be definitive of your existence. im constantly changing and that fluidity is so comforting to me because i cannot give you a definitive answer, and i know that might be annoying but i quite honestly do not care. that fluidity allows me to just exist as me, and i kind of always have. something i’ve thought of recently is that i never stated exactly who i was before, so whatever judgements or assumptions you made about me aren’t my business and they have nothing to do with who i am. the thing i realise more and more is that for some people, labels are more for other people than yourself. and that’s not me saying that labels aren’t important, because for some people they are, some people feel understood by labels, and just because i don’t feel that way doesn’t give me any right to police how other people think and feel (i do however feel that if a lot of people opened their minds to possibilities, they might discover things about themselves they hadn’t realised, specifically in the case of heteronormativity). my love for fluidity and not labelling shit doesn’t give me the right to invalidate someone else’s identity, nor would i ever want to. i think a lot of people don’t understand, and that’s the real reason for their hatred and ignorance. anyway, this is about me, not general society, although i exist within a society so i guess it kind of is a bit. okay, last thing i want to say coz my attention span cannot handle this shit and i can’t be bothered proofreading this to make sure it makes sense. so yeah, i guess im a lot queerer than some of you thought. if this is shocking information i don’t really care, and if you think about it, really think about who you know me to be, is it really that shocking? like i doubt anyone is actually surprised. okay that’s my ramble on gender or whatever the fuck biiiiiiiiiiiiieee

perhaps the most important question i’ve ever asked:

does anyone have tips for people trying to stop being chronically late to everything in the world that aren’t weirdly judgmental and aggressive or flat out lies

[silusvesuius]

nnnnnnnnnnnnno maa'am

[masterfuldoodler]

ok idea. what if we gave stories a free pass for one or two plot holes. "this story thread had a big hole in it" ok good to know, that must not be the main point of the story since it's got plot holes. they must have put their attention on what they thought was the important part. time to look closer at the other parts

My neighbor makes tamales. She brings over a bunch of them all at once. I’ve never had a tamale before (I know, I know), so I look a up a tutorial video. I imagine Sara in her downstairs apartment, soaking corn husks, kneading dough. I’m not much of a cook myself, I can’t offer her anything in return. It doesn’t matter. Every once in a while she stops by with another big bag of them, tells me about their fillings, the day she’s had, how her mothers doing.

She doesn’t know that some days I forget to buy groceries, or forget to eat altogether. She doesn’t know that food has always been a sacred, scary thing to me, that every time I open up one of those husk wrappers, steaming and full, it saves me a little.

The woman running the soap stand at the farmers market doesn’t have any customers, so I ask her a million questions about her process. She tells me she learned the old fashioned way, from the farmer down the road. No one would ever talk to her because she was so mean, except the soap maker. So the farmer taught her everything she knew, how to patch a roof, how to raise a goat, how to make soap and stew and blankets. She rubs lotion into my hands. It smells like lavender and warm earth. Yesterday my knuckles were so dry, they cracked.

In the downpour, three different cars pull over, ask me if I need a ride. I’m just a block away, I’ll be fine, I assure them. They still linger before driving off.

At the bus stop, I talk to a woman who tells me her woes. She’s smiling, but near tears. I pull out the tiny, rose quartz heart that’s in my pocket. I carry things like that with me, nicknacks, stickers. Trinkets I can hand out like trick-or-treat candies. She asks me, inevitably, like they all do, “Why do you have this.”

Because my neighbor makes tamales — but I can’t say that. “Just in case,” I tell her.

but fr outside of my contracted madness i absolutely refuse to give joe alwyn gold rush like how is that song at all related to their relationship the lyrics clearly spell out a relationship that either never existed or only existed in implication and fantasies and maybe-maybe nots and its so bitter and yet desperately soft in the bridge where it almost projects a sense of envy, of wanting to be them as much as you want them. It continues an interesting oft ignored lyrical trend of taylor wanting just as much to be her lover as to have them, envying their easy charisma (you were flush with the currency of cool/i was always turning out my pockets) or quiet dignity (your integrity makes me seem small) dating back to her earliest songs (the kind of flawless i wish i could be). Theres a projected self hatred and yearning to be better that twists itself into both romantic and sexual lust for her partners thats so fascinating and speaks to how all of her songs regardless of who theyre about are also an act of self reflection on who she is and who she wishes to be.

Feeling very very weird because some of you who have been here for years may know that I used to keep track of all the crazy shit my Spanish prof. used to say in contrast to my very nice and proper English lit. prof. (who was his partner)... and it is now, having graduated a couple years ago, that I emailed that crazy Spanish prof. not as a student but as we are now... professional acquaintances. And it got me thinking and I said oh fuck.

Now...

Now I AM the crazy Spanish professor dating the very posh very proper English lit. professor 😭 and the students may be posting about my antics on the tumbler dot com 🤡🤡🤡

just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE your comic I am so inspired by it and it’s so lovely and I wanna buy the physical books (I’ve never done that before) I just AUGGHHH EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS SO 💙💙💙

do you allow fanart? And is there anything not allowed? I wanna draw adam and steve so bad 😭

Of course it's allowed! Fanart fanfic fan music fan dubs whatever!

I like to think I'm sort of "building a playground" when I make a story, have fun on it! I made it for you!

In my general opinion, it's not my business what my "fandom" does... It's on you and also me to curate our own spaces! If you're inspired by my work in any way, that's the greatest honor I could imagine and I want you to feel fully free to explore that. If someone is being weird, I know where the block button is and they can keep being weird where I don't have to see it haha

Just don't like... sell it... it's messy legally with webtoon and I'm one person making the story and it's my whole income so the few sales I get are kind of huge for me ;_;
