#in the most sincere way possible

Amusing how easy it is to push her buttons, really.

Ugh... /////

I am in a tender ler mood from hell...

I just want to lavish somebody in affection from head to toe, focusing on their tickle spots as I work my way down their body... kissing, nuzzling, and running a feather over every little sensitive spot until they can't help but know how loved they are.

SoraXRiku from kingdom hearts is so funny because they almost have the exact energy as Wrightworth, but if they were stupid teens AND Riku had BOTH the angst and the “Not explainable in a straight way” obsession with the other

We’re replaying it and as an adult the way Riku gets manipulated literally makes no sense if you don’t interpret it in a “Teenager in denial that he’s gay”. Why would he get THAT jealous that Sora is making new friends when Sora ACTIVELY tells him every time they meet up again that he’d rather be around Riku?? Sora actively invites him to travel with him!

But Maleficent goes “ooOoooh Riku he’s leaving you behind he doesn’t care about you anymore oooOoooh.” and he BUYS IT? The boy is so wildly insecure about Sora if it’s that easy to sway him.

Just wanted to post a quick note saying today is the 5th anniversary of when I finally went to my first 5SOS show. Every year I think about how wildly different my fandom experience would've been if I'd been able to attend previous tours, how everything aligned just right for me to finally go to MYT, how I almost talked myself out of attending the night before, how completely unrecognizable my life would be today if I hadn't gone. I probably wouldn't have a blog to post this to. You wouldn't know me, I wouldn't know you. I never would've met so many of my friends. I wouldn't have ever met my best friend, the best friend I've ever known. I never would've rediscovered my love for writing. I genuinely don't know how I would be spending my days and I wonder if they would still be filled with the kind of joy I have found here in this community.

It feels fitting that this reflective day coincides with the last show of this tour, a tour that has been powered by appreciation for the bond we share and celebration of the time we've all spent together. Keeping up with this tour has been impossibly fun (and sometimes just plain impossible) and I can't think of a better way to have spent the past three months. I'm happy to have experienced it - and the past 5 years - with this band and with all of you. Thank you to this band, to my friends, to anyone who's ever interacted with me here and most of all, to Past Me for buying those tickets all those years ago. I wouldn't have a place to call home without you. 💙

One thing about Idolish7 is that there is SO much love between the characters and it's not romance baiting, just deep sincerity

what's your opinion on this phenomenon that's currently happening with jeanne, where ppl start acting like shipping a straight ship over a gay one is somehow brave or like disliking a straight ship is problematic? i like both pairings but stuff like this always ticks me off :/

i think it's a misconception of how misogyny works in fandom spaces mostly! because fandom is such an echo chamber we are bound to arrive to conclusions that sound useful to us, but don't actually achieve anything or make any discussions easier to solve or even have in the first place. to me it's very tone deaf that people think the problem with straight ships getting less rep is the problem of heterosexual couples being pushed aside for queer rep (and if the heterosexuality was the problem, then why aren't lesbian ships as widely cared for and expanded upon?) and not the active problem of people refusing to engage with women in media in any meaningful way! but it is misogyny and we get nowhere and achieve nothing by acting like this is an occurence specific to heterosexual pairings when your average aftgamer can't even describe the female characters without using some synonym of girlboss/"(andrew's/neil's/kevin's/jean's/whomever's) best friend/mom"/matchmaker (for a mlm ship, of course) or think of a f/f pairing dynamic that goes beyond holding hands in the backdrop of andreil's wedding

this is something that bugged me a lot a bit earlier in the year when a post going around said k/t would have been more popular if thea was a man. this absolutely negates the problem of racism in the fandom! thea's widespread hatred is very specifically misogynoir, but turning thea into a man still does not erase the fact that the aftg fandom is EXTREMELY anti-black and the male version of her would STILL be hated because the treatment she gets in the books is racist! honestly it drives me up the WALL because at some point it has to be willful ignorance. but we stay balling

would you consider just posting chapter 12 without the drawing? it’s been months…

Would you consider just getting fucked?

My project, my rules. Chapters will get posted when they’re ready to be posted in the way I want them posted. If you don’t want to wait then stop reading, I’m not going to lose sleep over it.

[pepprs]

ok. im going to make this post but i REALLY shouldn’t but i just am so devastated rn and need to not be alone in it and you guys are the only people i can talk to candidly about moving stuff rn for a lot of reasons. the reason im crying rn is because i just found out i made a massive error in my budget and it turns out that my net pay is barely over minimum wage and i cannot afford to live by myself. at all. unless i live off of savings in addition to income but even then that’s only going to help me for a couple months and anyway it’s extremely unwise bc i should save that money for getting a car etc etc. this is not entirely a bad thing because a) at least i can afford to… you know… live. and b) living with roommates will not be bad especially if i live with friends and/or strangers i come to be friends with. it’s just i really… i don’t know i just feel so sick to my stomach. it’s just that recent events have made it so clear to me that i need to teach myself how to live independently before i can live with other people (let alone function in the world, heal from trauma, etc.) healthily. i know it so deeply. and it can’t happen for me. this is confirmation. this is confirmation and there’s nothing that can change it. rent is too high (even for shitty apartments in the area which let’s be real most of them are… it’s too high!) and over half of my income is going to taxes and deductions and bills and student loans. i feel so hopeless

[averinthine]

been thinking that maybe i was right the first time when i identified as asexual back in the day

[caguaydreams]

Hm... never trust how you feel about your life past 9pm or however that goes and stuff, but sometimes I do be pondering what I do on the regular and it gets to me, the silliest things

[garlictoastedbread]

More things for @asktrio516

Hope you enjoy :]

Also I terribly apologize for not posting art lately, it’s taking me quite a bit for motivation and time to finish stuff 😔

Anyways, here ya go friend :>

It looks ominous because I intentionally made it so (who knows, he’s probably just tryna see if no one broke in or sum🤠)

This one is just me trying out a new brush and he was the first victim(joking), but I’m really proud how it turned out honestly :D

Hope you like em 🤠

(Ignore this) Completely random but here are songs I’ve been repeating for the past 2 weeks, take a listen if y’all want 🕺

fine I’ll say it at the very beginning of my dteam watching experience I thought snf hated each other because all they’d do was bicker and fight and Dream seemed surprised when they worked together in one of the early videos, but over the past 3 years they’ve softened on camera together and you can see how much their dynamic is filled with love like they’ll bicker and fight and rile each other up but they’re also like this 🤞 and will go “found idiot 🤓👆” while spending every waking moment together and will make sure the other feels safe and comfortable whenever they’re together even if that means bitching as a form of familiar banter and well. snfies to the moon

i recommend. Personally. watching international court cases and being in a removed part of your brain fucking terrified and horrified while you try and remain focused on the facts in the front of your mind so that you can know what the fuck is going on. and then letting that stew to make a list of things you find suspicious or dubious. also recommend then watching a bunch of philosophy all night and going hm fair point and well no i don't think that's true. and then doing the writing three pages thing your good friend suggested to you. and knowing your own naivete intimately. and then i recommend grabbing the a3 newsprint block so that you may make some inconsequential art. which inevitably will help you think. and then i recommend writing again to find out what you think. happy monday guys

[genderqueer-karma]

what did he mean by this

[arttheclown]

my opinion on the barbie movie was that it had aspects of it that were genuinely cute, sweet and funny, and the cast did an excellent job but it was also very um. pop feminism. which is to be expected from a toy commercial but it still made me grimace a lot ngl lol
