#in over my head type shit

[waywardgardenfury]

working on making a stylophone from scratch using this guide:

issue is, I realise now all the keys are gonna be playing the notes the wrong way around. whoops. this is what I get for trusting a random search on the internet.

I haven't soldered for a good few years (back in high school when I was like 14?) but I think I've been doing a decent job :) ordered in components and got to work figuring out the resistor values I needed because there's like 30 unique values in this thing oh my god. still a WIP (and I've got series and parallel mixed up so gonna have to unsolder some things -w-) and a lot of this still needs to be soldered but I'm making good progress for sure.

it's really fun to get hands on with electronics again and I miss doing physical things like this so, maybe I'll do this again sometime :3 the future goal would be to start building a eurorack modular synth setup sorta from scratch because fuck how much they cost dude holy shit but idk anything about that yet so I thought this would be a good initial project.

as always for every post, happy to receive advice and tips :)

i have been unmedicated for the entirety of spring break and thus have had little interest in writing this down, but i have been thinking about this for the entire week (as well as a dpdc clone danny au that resulted in it becoming its entirely separate batman au that includes a teenage vigilante bruce wayne, an ocarina, and me entirely incapable of making a batman au without making bruce dirt poor but we're not talking about that) and so i've finally went 'fuck it' and forcibly grabbed my laptop. I will get this done in one sitting even if it kills me.

BUT. This is about neither clone^2 danny nor about who i am calling Ocarina Batman. This is about my Danyal Al Ghul Au and more SPECIFICALLY it's me thinking about his relationship with Sam and Tucker specifically.

Tucker and Sam? Adore this asshole (affectionate) with every fiber of their being. And it is very much a reciprocated feeling, but Danny's thoughts will not be delved into much other than he would kill for them.

Tucker? The only person currently capable of getting a deep, loud, belly laugh out of Danny. Sam can get him to smile and to laugh, but it's the kind that's a chuckle-under-the-breath. The quiet, looks-down-while-huffing laughter. Snorts once with laughter and then grins stupidly.

But Tucker? Tucker can crack a slew of stupid jokes and Danny will be incapacitated for the next five minutes because he's laughing so hard that he can't breath. He lands one well-timed pun or quip and Danny will be close to tears. His laughter is their favorite sound in the whole world.

Sam is lowkey jealous of this ability, and she's gotten a belly laugh out of Danny a few times. But alas, it is Tucker who wields this power and has gotten it the most times out of the two of them.

-

They're also both physically affectionate with Danny as much as possible. It started roughly around when they were 12-ish, a year since they befriended Danny, and they noticed that he sought after touch but never seemed to initiate (and was in some ways repulsed by it). They started slowly being more touchy with him. Hooking a finger around his to lead him somewhere, tapping his wrist, looping arms. Little touches, grabs, etc, to get him used to it, and once he started doing it back they started increasing it.

It's gotten to a point where he will now just. Lay on them. Like a lizard sunbathing on a rock. Leaning on their backs when they're sitting in class before the bell rings, his chin on their heads. He'll talk about anything with his arms looped around their shoulders.

If they're sitting on a couch at either of their houses, he'll lay his legs on theirs. Him and Tucker will press their feet against the other's and try and push against them (newsflash: Danny always wins, Tucker claims its the ghost strength but Danny's been winning since before his accident)

-

Naturally, both Sam and Tucker know where Danny keeps his weapons on his person, and are allowed to grab them off of him if they need it. His only requirement is that they don't lose his weapons if they take it and forget to return it immediately.

They both understand how big of a thing this is from Danny, and so they do their best to treat his weapons with a lot of respect and care because they know its his way of saying he trusts them.

-

Sam and Tucker are so fond of Danny it's insane. Like fr. That's their goddamn best friend, and they are so protective of him. Emotionally, physically, you name it. They will tear the head off a grown man if they need to, Danny's had scars since he arrived in Amity Park and Sam and Tucker both are going to find the person who put them there and make them pay for it.

One time, Tucker overheard a bunch of upperclass girls speaking nastily about Danny and about the rumors surrounding him, calling him names like 'freak', 'monster', etc. Danny was with him and heard it, and seemingly appeared unbothered by it, even telling Tucker that he was used to such rumors.

Tucker was so furious that hacked into the school system later that night and tanked those girls grades. They were kicked out of their clubs and had to go to mandatory tutoring for the rest of the year. He made sure to leave some way of letting them know it was him who did it.

And Sam doesn't like using her money for things, doesn't like abusing that wealth. So instead, whenever her parents talk bad about Danny, she causes a media incident that has her parents scrambling to deal with. She does something wild, outrageous by her parents' standards.

She heard some boys on the basketball team making fun of Danny once, similar to those girls had. She kicks up a fuss about something eco-unfriendly at school and forcibly holds a protest on the same day of the big home basketball game, forcing them to cancel the event and reschedule to a visiting school.

She anonymously donates money so that there's new uniforms for the team but oops! Looks like she "forgot" to donate enough money for them to get uniforms for all the team members, and strangely enough those boys in particular didn't get them! Looks like they'll have to wait until more money gets donated for the basketball team to get their new, nice uniforms. The old ones look so ratty in comparison, right?

And since the football team gets most of the sport money, that might just take awhile. And if (and when) they kick up a fuss? oops! Off the basketball team you go, :) such unsportsman-like behavior is unfit for the team.

(The only good thing about how corrupt the school system is is that she can use it to her advantage too.)

The both of them know that Danny suspects them for the sudden misfortune falling on these people, but he doesn't call them out on it. He's kinder than he used to be, but not kind enough to vouch for people who speak badly of him. Sometimes, he might just congratulate them on not getting caught.

Because Danny is their wonderful, hurt friend with a "slightly" Blue and Orange Moral code, and enough scars that people have been calling him a criminal (and worse) since he arrived in Amity Park when he was ten. And they'll be damned if he gets hurt anymore.

Keep making the Binghorse. We gotta ward off people from entering this fandom. We need to keep it pure. I fr don't want this fandom to become famous. I'm scared that there will be toxic fans left and right.

HAHA I absolutely understand the sentiment. I feel a bit contradictory since I want more people to appreciate SVSSS, but the at the same time I like small tight knit communities and I personally can’t handle large fandoms whatsoever. 😭

Although I do feel as though describing the SVSSS as pure is very funny for how lawless this fandom is. But behavior wise, it is definitely a very positive and supportive space!! I haven’t met anyone or seen anything unpleasant since I’ve entered the fandom. Albeit, it’s only been a few months since I’ve started interacting with the fandom, and over half a year since I first read SVSSS, so I have no clue what horror stories the SVSSS fandom has. (I honestly haven’t interacted with that many SVSSS fans tbh…. Even though I want to.)

In addition, funny enough, I feel as though the book almost acts as its own barrier of entry. SVSSS isn’t the type of book you can read once unless you’re good at reading against the grain and noticing all the nuances and subtext. I know the first time I read SVSSS, SVSSS disturbed and confused me so badly. I talked to a few other people who read SVSSS once, who said that LBH and SQQ’s relationship felt like Stockholm syndrome. But people who’ve read SVSSS several times will know, that is not the case, and that SQQ is an INSANELY UNRELIABLE narrator.

I honestly find it funny how effective Binghorse or all the other skin creatures is at filtering toxic fans.😂

There’s always a general reaction to the skin creatures: “Omg, cute!!”, “wtf, but I like it”, “wtf”. Or getting blocked, or death threats. (I haven’t received any…? I don’t think…? One message I received is definitely debatable since I can’t tell if it’s sarcastic or not….😭)

But regardless, I’ll definitely keep drawing Binghorse!!! It’s actually really enjoyable!

*sonic says something stupid that causes tails to turn around and give him the shadow glare™*

sonic, realizing he's doing the little brother copies big brother thing: oh. no, stop it. i don't like that

tails: what are you talking about?

sonic: you're grounded. i can't let that continue

tails: grounded for what? i didn't do anything!

sonic: it's okay, buddy. it's for the best

tails: ?? you're so weird

My Qi Rong headcannon of the day (incorporating my design for him) is that like Hua Cheng, he can change his appearance so that even after he loses his mask in the second book/season, people can’t exactly say he looks like Xie Lian. My design for him really turns him into a goblin so if we pretend he looks like that then he’s intentionally becoming something as far from Xie Lian as he can, but his true form would be much more beautiful and their similarity much more prominent. But in canon he doesn’t actually have enough power to do that I don’t think? Hua Cheng is powerful enough to have multiple forms so maybe Qi Rong can get by with having only one.

And ignoring my design for him, I think this is also why he wears a mask. Pretty boy don’t like being reminded he’s related to Xie Lian.

I also have a headcannon that he was executed by decapitation with the royal xianle family so in the afterlife he has a huge scar around his neck. He’d get pissed off to find it mirrors Xie Lian’s cursed shackle.

In other words he’s trying to be something as far from Xie Lian as possible, even if he has to make himself as ugly as he can to do so.

He’s on my walls now…

That ended exactly how I expected it to and, as expected, I am entirely neutral on it. Wasn't a satisfying ending or a super hype ending or anything like that, literally just the ending that may as well have happened. Not a single thing surprised me that whole conclusion, it felt unfortunately predictable. You can tell he's excited for it's end though so I'm happy for Horikoshi regardless, hope he can get proper rest now.

Y’all it’s been very clear Joe holds his moments and overall relationship tidbits about Ja’Marr as close as possible. Like he is always calculated with what he says , but you can see the gears turn when it’s a Ja’Marr related question and I find it so endearing. Ex. Week 2 after the shove around the world and how FLUSTERED he was trying to answer questions about it afterwards 😭😭

🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ oh absolutely that man is sooooo careful about the way he speaks on his relationship with ja'marr, especially that kc game presser. i think i've talked abt this before in an ask or babbled abt it in some post tags?? but i do think he has been wayyy looser on the tongue these days really. like his past few pressers ever since hmm even before the switch up with tee really?? like there has legitimately been a rise of ja'marr levels of Insane Quotes from him about ja'marr and also about him and ja'marr now. like on him playing in a world without ja'marr (wow they really asked that. like they worded that question that way.) 'haven't had that, don't wanna have that', his opinions on ja'marr's playing 'always fun to watch', his triple crown goals 'i'll make sure he gets it', lsu questions, 'careers forever be tied together', getting ja'marr the fucking ball, etc etc. idk he's way laxer answering them now?? they're asking ja'marr his opinions and reaction to joe quotes on him now really wow. and we get such gems of ja'marr brightening up and giggling over it ougugughugh cute as hell.

but really on the touchiness thing -> taking account on how joe is with literally everybody else. again, he loves being touchy with people. smooching evan. head bonks and leaping body slams with ted, cappa, orlando, mims my favorite child, geno, mike g or h, chase b, yoshi, literally everyone on offense really, teeeeee his most beloved truly has there ever been a man more targeted with his tender affection than tee higgins. nuzzling his neck. insane. and bro-hugs and dapping opponents up pre-game and post-game is always something he does too right. like joe has always been free with physical affection you can't deny this.

so being physically close to someone isn't something he'd hide, really. why would he hide what he has with ja'marr? pinky shakes helmet slams, chest slaps, etc etc. countless moments caught on cameras that we've agonized over. but we've never seen joe be mindlessly affectionate with ja'marr the way he is with evan and tee and several other teammates (not as much as tee and evan though really lol)! which leads toooo this and this.

Arranged marriage au with asmo

I need asmo to be in some type of royal otome slowburn manhwa

ramblings ramblings

the drama guys....the DRAMA! dont tell me a bunch of nonsense wouldnt happen

remember the post where i was like indifferent/passive aggressive asmo becoming curious about the MC fics are peak

similar thing is happening here! honestly i think theres some resentment coming from asmos side at first but mc is like ay....you do ur thing and i do mine

im not gonna make u do anything u dont want, i dont have any expectations from this arrangement. lets just try not to make each of our lives hell u know

lol i bet when asmo first meets MC after finding out that hes supposed to marry them he's like thinking "......ig theyre not that bad looking"😒 (he literally would have been flirting with them in any other circumstance)

hmmm mc needs to be apart of a pretty influential family i think since this is gonna be a political type marriage

and asmo,,,,i feel like he doesnt really engage in the specifics when it comes to politics or anything. it's just not something thats important to him. he has his side hobbies and business endeavors that cares about. But topics outside of those things are left up to his family

so perhaps one day, the head of the family (i wanna say lucifer but since i want the person in this role to give off more a mysterious vibe, where his word is final michael might be a better choice) is like... this specific family...theyre kinda important and we want them on our side so get married to their eldest who has rejected every other person ever but has agreed to marry and since u dont do much when it comes to political affairs im gonna have you do this whether you want to or not

and asmo is just like....HUH he tries to get lucifer to help him out here but lucifers like...yea dads not budging sorry lil bro (he doesnt say it like that but similar sentiment lmao)

now mc never really wanted to get married cause they didnt wanna have to go through the motions against their will and they like their life as is but their parents have been breathing down their neck about marriage for years now. And now that this BIG opportunity has present itself to their parents, it feels like the pressure is really on now! at first mc is like shit...idk if i can weasel my way outta this one

and then......they realized that maybe this could probably work out in their favor actually.....

mc agreed to married him cause asmo has a bit of a reputation as a partier and a playboy

with asmo they feel like things can stay as they are for the most part if they let him continue to do as he pleases (not like they could have stopped him if they wanted to lol)

everything can be the same, they can still live their own separate lives, just now they have the title of spouses!

and thats the plan, like i said before asmo comes in being a bit rude at first but it kinda changes to indifference and a little passive aggressiveness once MC is like...yo chill im not gonna shit on ur parade. i just wanna be left to my own things. you do you sir

yes thats the plan...thats supposed to be the plan and it was going as mc expected for a good while

but as we know if u put something or someone in front of asmo enough times hes gonna get curious

“Why’s he call you Darlin’?”

on my knees begging my brain to stop trying to associate this song with Sam

[sergle]

will you also be donating/selling your clothes? ( just curious, sorry if you answered already ! )

no prob, I haven't answered this one yet!! so, I'm probably going to try and get a lot of my Newly Loose clothes altered? before I consider hocking them. also, I was really STUFFING my tits into some of my clothes to start with, so they may fit me even better now, not worse! there are alsoooo definitely certain pieces that I wanna hold onto more tightly than others. but if I've got a pile of dresses/tops that are too big and I don't wanna deal with fixing them, I may make a post to sniff out if anyone wants them.

[loveguts]

i’m not a transandrophobia truther in the slightest don’t get me wrong, but i think some people on here really need to realize and comprehend the fact that cis women, way WAY more often than not, hold extremely significant social and political power over trans men the vast majority of the time in our day to day lives

Iz This is a kinda edgy question but i rlly need i solution,how can u get over grief or wtv like smth that'll make u feel better over a close person that js died

have something or someone to keep you busy. The worst thing you can do is sit around ruminate in the beginning. Grief is one of the hardest and most inevitable human experiences, you just can't process it when it first hits you. So distance yourself mentally, at least for the first few days. Physically, too, if you can. If you have someone, hang out with them and do something completely unrelated. if you dont, play your comfort game, go shopping, or do a brain numbing activity that brings you comfort.

But in all honesty, there is no action that will ever fill the void or make it better. I really believe in the "time heals all wounds" saying, because we were blessed with forgetfulness (for better or for worse). Imagine if we had to remember every single traumatic thing that had happened to us, that would be hell. Forgetting doesn't make the grief go away, but it dilutes the intensity

Personally though, the thing I found alleviates the pain and guilt the most is reframing your thoughts and opinion on the concept of death itself: take consolation in the fact that at least they're not struggling in this world anymore, this life is hard and full of filth, death is not the worst thing that can happen to a person, you know? It's like a peaceful sleep, so maybe you can imagine them finally resting somewhere where the grass is greener, watching over you, smiling. Maybe it's only you who is hurting, maybe there is nothing to cry over in the first place, maybe they're waiting for you and maybe you'll be reunited, who knows? This world is only temporary, and nothing is ever truly yours, it's just borrowed. What else is there to do but wait and honour their life by living yours? If you keep them in your memory, they will live forever, they're never truly gone

It's not an edgy question, I wish i could say something better but there is no real consolation besides the idea of an afterlife, which is another can of worms. You just have to be kind and gentle with yourself and don't let it linger, cut yourself when you feel like spiralling, it doesnt aid you, and pleaase please have someone to keep you company. You have my sincere condolences
