#it's just felt really weird

[staycalmandhugaclone]

So: good news - I'm finally proofing a chapter to share! Obviously the bad new is that it's taken me forever to actually finish it... Y'all remember when I was able to post every week? Sometimes a couple times a week? Man, those were good times...

In truth though, this has been a... challenging month. We finally got our house listed, and, not a week later, someone broke into it and robbed us. The same day, my car decided to die (literally a week after we had maintenance done on it), so I couldn't even get there in time to talk to the police. And then, on the way to the dealership, some guy decided I needed more stress and started screaming at me and punched my window before storming off. It was a lot.

I'm also still struggling with a personal thing that happened between me and someone I met on here that I considered a close friend. I hate to admit it, but it's really left me pretty gun-shy with online friends, which is really shitty and I'm really sorry and it's totally not fair to you guys...

I'm really glad there's still such a big community on here to share with and commiserate over my way too violent hyper-fixation of tasty clones, and I'm going to try to get over that to interact more often with you all

so! this was SUPPOSED to be a bonnie drawing. but for some reason i just Can’t draw bonnie to save my life today. and i needed to draw something simple to make myself less frustrated!! and by simple i mean this took me almost 3 hours and i had to redraw it because i didn’t like how the lineart turned out the first time!! oops!! at least it turned out cute🩶. and i got to play around with my textured brush!

also as a bonus, my terrible first attempt + the sketch!! that i apparently accidentally deleted at some point? so this is a screenshot from the timelapse. i dont know what happened to it…

of course the show that is fundamentally centered around two sisters and their tragedies becomes centered around men and said sisters are sidelined and their arcs are pushed to the sidelines and all the phenomenal care that went into their characters went down the drain. ​one’s arc is literally “the traumatized / mentally unwell character’s happy ending is committing suicide because they are simply too broken to heal and be happy” trope, and her mental instability is forgotten. the other is reduced to a mere plot device, has no agency of her own, and her trauma and anger is treated like a complete and utter joke for the sake of a shitty ship, and because the writers literally, point blank, were bored with her. it’s so sad because the tragedy of these sisters is so utterly devastating, so encompassing and so intricately woven into the narrative. but make it about two men i suppose?

I… don’t really see myself continuing with the Amazing Digital Circus anymore.

do you actually dislike the bird abode or just the creature designs? not saying the name directly so your ass doesn't get blasted by the tag

I like a lot of the creatures in it; the showrunner is a really fantastic horror artist and it really comes through in the aesthetics of the show. I especially like this hand dragon, though there's a lot of other great designs:

As for the show on the whole, it's not bad but not really for me? Early on it really feels like it's schtick will be that it's a subversion of harry potter-esque stories, where the protagonist wants to go on an adventure similar to her favorite fantasy book but instead ends up hanging out with the "villain" (who's actually just othered)/the magic school turns out to be secretly oppressive/the world is kind of gross and spooky instead of clean and approachable... but as it goes along I think it ends up being a pretty by the books YA fantasy thing played mostly straight, and it isn't super interesting or funny or scary or anything besides that. Which admittedly was probably to its benefit, I think a lot of its popularity comes from it being this very tropeish and not-uncomfortable magic school/found family story that's actually queer, like I genuinely think this is hugely appealing to the average cartoon fan on twitter, but I'm just not personally into it in comparison to a lot of it's contemporaries

not to go off topic but i think that ideal post-canon dungeon meshi situation for kabru is for him to simultaneously have a slowburn domestic cozy noodles and rare escapes to go monster hunting and falling asleep in the same bed situation with mithrun AND some sort of high politics high stakes power dynamics they can't escape, manipulation equally matched by hopeless affection, glances shared over council tables, getting caught in the closet with the king again (explaining basic social protocols to him) thing with laios.

then just as he's coming to terms with his own feelings and the possibility that they might be romantic he learns that mithrun and laios have in fact been carrying on some sort of psychosexual no-strings affair the whole time (mithrun sits on the dresser and dispassionately explains horrific and bizarre monster situations from around the globe while laios gets off seven feet away)

⚠️Moxie announcement⚠️

Alright… here goes. I’ve been a little nervous to say this, but I think it’s time: I want to start going poly alongside Sanji.

Sanji is still everything to me. He has a permanent, irreplaceable place in my heart, and nothing about that is changing. But the truth is, I’ve realized I have so much love in me—it feels like more than I can give to just one person. Lately (okay more along the course of several months), I’ve fallen madly in love with two other characters too, and I really want to start sharing that love here in the community.

This isn’t about moving on or loving Sanji any less. It’s just about embracing how full my heart feels, and letting myself be open to loving more than one fictional man at once. I know some of you followed me thinking I was strictly mono, and I totally understand if that changes things for you. But this feels right for me, and I hope you can support me as I figure it all out.

Thanks for hearing me out. If you have any questions feel free to ask me. Ahhh I hope nobody hates me for this. Sorry if I disappointed anyone’s expectations of me! 😭

when your main characters start dating after years of writing so they finally get to be like this

Kingdom Hearts - Halloween Town

“Maybe the flash was to blame. Or maybe it’s his shrunken state that gave the looming witch the illusion of being exactly 10 feet tall.

Whatever it was, it had flicked something within. Suddenly, he was no longer a lizard. Nor a great, powerful wizard. Not even “Rick Shades.”

He was a little Gourami.

Only 12 years old. Eyes wide and unobscured. Skin smooth from the lack of scars. But most of all, untainted by the horrors.

And unlike that little Gourami, he was entirely aware of what’s coming for them. He could warn the 12 year old. Maybe save them even. Tell her that continuing this approach is a bad, BAD, VERY TERRIBLY BAD IDEA!!

…

But he couldn’t.”
