#im very chatty

[foundfamily-connoisseur]

Oi. OI. *bonks ur head bonks ur head bonk bonk bonk bonk* I am cringe don't start (also I have been flippy flopping around trying and failing to make more PO stuff for like half a year so it's not like I've done anything good since then). Also you say that like you don't make amazing art and come up with some really fun concepts so please be nice to yourself!!

OEBRISBSAUAJS THANK YOUUUUUU😭😭😭😭

Im suckihg so hard at words rn but like bro. Bro you don't need to be modest chat cuz aside from the fact your fic was sick as hell it was like a total game changer for me. Like i was getting into punch out and looking for Mac fics and lo and behold yours showed up. This is literally how it happened based on real events

For the next few weeks I was reading that fix religiously day in day out

Like bro ngl a lot of my Mac hcs are just sorta baised on ur fic lmao👉👈 like to the point i legit can't see Mac being like. Normal verbal. Have not read any fics with him talking because then I'm like 🧍‍♂️ who is this boy. Porque estas hablando no mames me cambiaron mi hijo por un extraño

But yeah I'm repeating a lot of what I've said before and sorry if I come off awkward (I can talk to ppl but I can't speak/type well for the life of me lmao) but your fic was genuinely so inspiring I probably wouldn't have made the final step into the fandom if it wasn't because your story :D

And aye aye capitan I shall try not to be so hard on myself o7 also hi hope you're doing well :]

So uhhhh QUESTION TIME!! For the Handcrafted Pines AU lol

sorry if this comes off as weird btw 😭

are the pine twins still able to get sick? I know they’re a doll and a tree, but trees are able to get sick technically and Dipper is made of wood…and people usually sometimes play make believe with dolls being sick (i’m asking this for a fanfic QwQ…)

Who’s Stan’s favorite twin? If neither or both, what are they allowed to do that maybe the other isn’t allowed to do?

Whos harder to draw?

May I draw the pines :)

Ooh, alright!

I don't think they'd be able to get sick from human diseases the normal way since they literally don't have like...any organs to get infected with said disease, but I could see things that happen to their cursed forms getting interpreted as sickness to them. Like if they get dusty they feel congested still, stuff like that. Or maybe as a psychological thing--they think they should be able to get sick, so they can, and so they do get sick if someone else was around them. And who knows what kinda magical diseases they might encounter!

While ultimately I think he loves them the same for their different qualities, I def feel like at the start that it was easier for him to love Mabel, for various reasons, such as having no hang-ups about how to handle girls compared to the raising of boys from his own childhood. Dipper is canonically given the harder labor, so Mabel is excused from that stuff, and I get the feeling she's got more leeway to make messes than Dipper. (Mostly because she usually cleans it up without prompting more than Dipper.) I think Dipper is allowed to hit Stan more bc he pulls his punches more than Mabel, lol.

DIPPER. DIPPER AND HIS STUPID HAT. (And his stupid joints in handcrafted pines, but I gave him those they're my fault lol.) I hate the brim of that trucker hat I leave it out whenever I can justify it and sometimes when I can't. Mabel is delightful to draw.

PLEASE FEEL FREE! I'm perfectly happy with people drawing or writing for handcrafted pines, anyone can feel free to put their own spin on it if they'd like!

[cementcornfield]

some '23 rookies + mike lore under the cut because my lovely friend casey made the terrible decision of asking me about their lore and i did all this whoops

ok so. here’s what i’ve got for you (the lore or at least my knowledge of it isn’t as deep as joe’marr but like, what is.) so obviously as the name implies, chase, charlie, and yoshi (Andrei whose last name gets consistently mispronounced to sound kind of like yoshi and the nickname has stuck) were drafted in 2023. charlie was drafted as a 4th round WR and yoshi as a 6th round WR from PRINCETON. this is interesting in itself because a lot of people were like….why on earth are the bengals drafting two wide receivers and honestly valid point lol. but are we drafting to build a solid football team OR are we drafting to craft beautiful romantic narratives?? rare bengals FO W!

anyway, it’s also interesting because charlie (nicknamed chuck sizzle lmao) had a great reputation as a WR at purdue and once he was drafted in the 4th, yoshi was like :( :( i guess that means i’m not going to the bengals. (he also thought he’d be drafted much earlier lol but while his stats were good, the fact that he was in the ivy league and they don’t play Real Football there worked against him, also he was a Huge Track Star in college too and could have been in the Olympics. and i guess some teams thought that meant he wasn't as committed to football). and ironically, he’s turned out to be much better and more reliable than charlie! (who just can’t seem to stay on the field cuz of injuries, but when he IS on the field he’s a great punt returner!) despite all that, they were very fast friends and definitely became close first. 

chase brown has a sad tragic backstory that the nfl loved talking about in the lead up to the ’23 draft. he’s a twin (his brother plays defense/special teams on the eagles! already got a ring!!) and they grew up in canada with a single mother who could very rarely make ends meet for them. but, the twins got Discovered in high school and were sent off to some fancy football high school in florida i think, where they stayed with a very Stable God Loving Football Loving Family who they think of as their second parents :’) so much so that chase actually almost didn’t pursue football in college! and went to a school that wasn’t great at football but was good at….airplane pilot training? i guess the dad of this family was a pilot and chase wanted to be just like him 🥹 (we loveeeee a Father Figure Complex). so because sydney (his twin) wasn’t Crazy, he immediately went to illinois where there’s an actual good football program. and eventually chase realized that the whole pilot school thing wasn’t actually for him and was like okay wait football right let me do that, and joined sydney at illinois where they could be teammates again <3 <3 and they were both very successful!

i believe sydney ended up getting drafted a few rounds earlier than him, which was obviously sad, but then if you watch the video of zac drafting chase they have a very touching moment :’) chase i think took a little longer to be part of charlie and yoshi’s early bff-ness just because they were in different position groups and also he got hurt for a good bit of his rookie year and i don’t think was around QUITE as much. (and his twin also seems to be a distant part of the group, he and chase talk on the phone almost every day! they tried to stop in the lead up to the bengals - eagles game this season but it was too hard 😔) 

but anyways, those three became Very Very Good friends and all lived in the same building (although i think chase may have moved because he had a kid a month ago….) and all their girlfriends are besties too and they basically hang out alllll the time. last offseason, chase and yoshi (but not charlie 😔) went to atlanta together to train with a coach that helped both of them with receiving (because zac told them they both needed to work on that lol, you’d think yoshi wouldn’t as much as chase but! princeton!) and there was lots of social media of them working out together and then drinking and partying together, and they’re doing that this offseason too! (although this time chase brought his gf and kid, so perhaps slightly less partying will occur. but more uncle time!) 

then in ’24 we signed mike g as a free agent, who basically had been tossed around the league for most of his career :( he was drafted by the dolphins and did alright there, but then got franchise tagged and not utilized particularly well. he signed with the patriots and also wasn’t used well there! so luckily for us, the rest of the league didn’t really believe in him and we got him for cheap (ideal bengals signing lol). some notable Lore here: mike was apparently part of the “Burrow Bowl” which was a game late in the 2019 season between the bengals and dolphins, where the loser would be in position to draft Joe, who was already the most likely first pick of the draft. and mike scored two TDs that game! helping the dolphins get a win (but really, a loss, thanks mike!!!) mike also went viral one time on the dolphins for doing an absolutely Terrible Griddy to the point that ja’marr had to comment on it on twitter laughing at him <3 and that’s since become a bit of a joke between them <3 (they did a lovely griddy together this year after one of mike’s TDs where ja’marr could barely do it he was laughing so hard lol). anyway! that’s mike, he’s a tall, goofy, lovable guy (who also, according to one anonymous reddit user, has a HUGE dick and apparently such a high stamina that one of the girls he hooked up with in college had to use an ice pack the next day 🥲 which has led some of us to believe that maybe that’s why he needs to have multiple partners. for everyone’s sake 🥲)

mike really found his groove on the bengals, like many a TE before him (this next season is actually going to be the first year joe has had the same TE two years in a row! normally they do so well with him that they price themselves out of the bengals range lol but i guess mike wanted to stay! for his boyfriends???) and also instantly clicked with the ’23 rookies, which is funny because he’s definitely older than them but 100% has the exact same sense of humor. they are always together in every social media video put out by the bengals (and also were shown watching games together at each others' places during hard knocks). they are also CONSTANTLY commenting weird shit on each others posts on instagram (please just look through them or go through my tags for them lol and see). the rest of the team has obviously noticed this and the social media people made them a photoshopped picture of the four of them together in the Step Brothers pose that yoshi has since hung in his apartment <3 which is adorable. 

but okay oh man this got long and is probably way more than you wanted. again i recommend looking through my tags for them and enjoying all their goofy shit :’) mike getting the extension just worked out so well for them to have many more Moments together and i’m soooo excited about that (if nothing else in the upcoming season at this point lol).

love and light and peace on planet earht golden girls who never let me down ever

im sure someone’s definitely thought about how beholding-typical eyeball imagery can very, very easily overlap with yonic imagery. I think I need to get my freak on and embrace that yeah it kind of just looks like i drew a bunch of vulvas. ughhhh fine I guess we have to process my thoughts on femininity and womanhood with my evil pseudo-immortal cat. whatever. my power will grow by ten thousand if I intentionally lean into getting sexy about it.

[minecraftdog]

tbf I think that the old George photo is also incredibly attractive in my opinion but in completely different way to now. I just wouldn't call in glow up personally

it's the nerdy quiet shy guy who is very cute accidentally, doesn't leave the house, his intelligence is very attractive, and blushes when you competent him. but only from the appearance

because we know that today's George was always there inside. thanks to the 5$ is 5$ and princess posts. and that he always was incredibly vulgar privately. but now his attractiveness comes from his confidence and that knowledge that he can have everyone wrapped around his little finger. he knows he is sexy and is the opposite of shy about it. and it's also as good as before but completely different

[bonefall]

clanmew-ish question here:

if a human were to ever listen to different cats speak clanmew, parkmew, etc. (different dialects) would they be able to tell the difference? does it sound different to them? had say, a human who owns a cat then later encounters a clan cat and heard them both speak, would there be a difference in the kittypet’s dialect and the clan cat’s dialect that the human can actually notice?

are the humans able to decode / kinda of understand what the cats are saying if they pay attention to say, erin’s project? say one cat keeps saying “Krrrp” at a stone then would the humans figure out that “Krrrp” is the cat word for stone? and if they do, can they figure out other cat words? and finally, if they can, can they “talk” to cats like pointing to a stone and going “Krrrp” and having the cat actually understand them?

Laypeople cannot; Researchers eventually can.

It's EXACTLY like cetaceans. The noises don't hit human ears quite right unless you're extremely familiar with the sounds a certain pod makes. Orcas have "accents" and you can call a dolphin by playing back a recording of its name, though we haven't proven actual grammar and language yet.

Clanmew is not discovered until sometime around 2030 or later, though, despite the project starting in 2008 when a cat attacks a bulldozer and sets off a chain of events that finally allows a program to get funding. Other languages aren't discovered until much, much later.

Generally though, in-universe, humans have a hard time speaking cat words and vice versa. It's not impossible, but it takes a ton of training and most housecats are just as laidback and uneager to please as their real counterparts.

(Though out of universe, it is possible to speak Clanmew and I make sure all words are technically pronouncible. Because it's more fun that way.)

Also if ya want me to draw silly willwood thing (if I'll have spare time) feel free to send your request in my ask 🥴 i am working hard on my projectsso sometimes i need something to unwind

[sunburstsandmoonshadows]

In other news, I re-read THE NAME OF THIS BOOK IS SECRET out of nostalgia and as you can imagine, the gravity falls brainworms took over.

Anyway I'm working on a fic now.

[solar-halos]

new and improved (debatable) accent challenge pt 2 bc the first version was genuinely atrocious and im a lot more comfortable speaking into my phone now

[oracld]

Gets down on one knee in front of ratio only i dislocate my hip in the process. Plelsse be my wife forever [he looks at me and tells me to get up already bc we r already married]

[leopardette]

There's a lot I want to say right now but its all coming from the desire to communicate instead of having something to communicate if u know what I mean. Would love to sit in a room and smile at someone ... maybe even hold their hand ... who knows 🔳 but I digress. My unofficial goal this year is to see how long I can go without watching an english-language film and so far at five movies I am still successful. I can see raindrops on the branches and its making me happy. My self esteem and hope for the future is abundant, likely because classes haven't started for me yet (it will be downhill from there). I can't think of anything else to say so goodnight, I will see u all in the morning, and know that I am in some room smiling at you 🐇
