Most underrated type of tf, GO!!

Oh my GOD- okay first off to be clear: everyone has one of these. Everyone has an opinion on what kind of TF is underrated, what kind they want to see more of and what they think deserves more love, and they're all right. TF is a wide as hell interest, and like god damn we're insatiable, but that's alright because it really IS good. (so long as it isn't hurting people but that's a given.)

That said.

Fucking. OC TF. I want to TF into your OCs. I WANT TO TF INTO SO MANY OF YOUR OCS SO BAD THEY'RE SO COOL OR HOT OR CUTE OR GENDER OR WELL CRAFTED OR ALL OF THE ABOVE AND EVERYTHING, and holy GOD I wish people made more TF content for their extremely extremely TFable OCs. Fursonas or sonas in general, dnd characters, original content characters, in-universe self inserts or other OCs made for canon material, the list goes on and on and on and ON. OC TF IS SO, SO UNDERRATED.

(I suffer from what I like to call 'chronic fast TF mood metabolism' and it's terminal. It's forever. I'm in this for the long haul. I see a hot character or a fat OC or a fuzzy AU of a character or a goddamn cool half-finished sketch of a design for something (usually ANYTHING) and I pick that TF mood up so fucking fast. I'm so FUCKED, you have to understand. Please, please make TF content of your extremely TFable OCs I am STARVING.)

OC TF is the Best TF, and you can quote me on this because I am RIGHT!

#this is tf #intentional tf #asks #THANK YOU for the question and the opportunity to absolutely go off about an issue i have been drooling over for YEARS.#OC TF is the Best TF and you can quote me on this because I am Right #(making that a tag to keep for the future jic)#I will admit. there are a few exceptions to this that I do not really want to disclose publicly #and i will not respond to asks or questions related to them if asked #(if you know you know and if you guess you guess)#but i digress- i am still just looking at SO many OCs SO respectfully and like. mmmmm i want to TF so bad but how do i say to the ownerrrrr #more often than not the answer is 'don't ask actually you know how TF is'#but like god. god damn are so many OCs i see and keep seeing so. SO GOOD #oh by the way just as a side note i do keep saying hot even though i'm ace and don't like. Fully mean 'hot' in the traditional sense.#just as a force of habit really #whenever i say hot it's honestly like a synonym for 'TFable' or 'I want to TF into them so bad' really #like you get it right? it's like that that's what i mean when i say that

Brozone reunion concepts for this little thing based on this ask

As stated in the ask idk fully how this moment would go, this concept was mostly building off the premise presented within the ask :D

Bonus:

#my art #trolls #dreamworks trolls #trolls 3 #trolls au #n2 au #trolls john dory #trolls clay #trolls poppy #trolls branch #trolls bruce #trolls floyd #brozone #look at them so silly #in the original script i had accidentally wrote John calling Bruce by his preferred name and i was like #he dont know it yet smh #and had to change it back to spruce #which is where the line 'its bruce but imma let it slide'#comes from #i dont think John in the movie and within this purposefully misnames him #i think its just like a force of habit #and its just harder for him to realize hes saying it wrong until hes corrected #cuz you see he doesnt really get mad when corrected he just gets confused the first time #and then just keeps forgetting after #which i think also was from his mindset of #'im the oldest im not allowed to change' so its like #his brains blocking out the change of spruce to bruce #this is unrelated to the comic as a whole it was just the on the spot thoughts i had while typing #but yeah #itd be a touching reunion for sure!

Not all who wander are lost. Some who wander, however, are extremely, extremely lost.

#note: this is a kitchen in a house of change. they are still on the road w the party #not to say i think that maybe chillin out in one location with some loved ones and planned visits from their friends would fix siffrin #but i am saying that they do seem to hoard random items at every given oppertunity. which is an interesting habit #isat #isat fanart #in stars and time #in stars and time fanart #isat spoilers #sifloop #isat siffrin #isat loop #sloops #lucabyteart #but yeah no i dont actually know that siffrin would wwwant to be . travelling literally forever. given the. well. um #that one QnA answer especially. the immediate deflective joking when asked how long they'd been a traveller. mm.#it's not like they chose this life is the thing. and we know they have a habit of forcing themselves to 'stick to the script'#i really do think they'd be better for some stability. its not like you cant have a house and also go on fun travel holidays also #(if you want my real opinion. why not just move to bambouche to help raise bonnie. but. that's fanfic territory at that point)

I just saw another ask calling Gemini au Donnie afab, and obviously he does have XX chromosomes in your au (or the turtle/mutant equivalent at least?), but if afab means assigned female at birth and Donnie and Leo were assigned male at birth by Big Mama.... Does that technically make the two of them amab trans men???

Or.... amak? assigned male at kidnapping?

LMAO yeah. I always grapple with the terms because I'm like. WELL... THEY TECHNICALLY... WEREN'T ASSIGNED FEMALE AT BIRTH LMAO,,,, they're both, technically speaking, amab, so yes, they are in fact both amab trans men lmao.

And they weren't TECHNICALLY kidnapped... so... amaa? assigned male at... adoption??? u w u

#the term afab isnt technically correct because. you know. but sometimes i use it anyway just for like. ease of communication #y'all know what i mean lmao #and im always hesitant to use terms like “biologically female”#coz i dont necessarily always LOVE that terminology for trans ppl and i know sometimes other ppl dont either #but! shrug. its not really that deep lmao #its mostly me being nitpicky and also force of habit #asks #anon #gemini au asks

everyone always says xiao is mysterious and i agree - but the thing is, he's not only that way because he doesn't talk a lot. it's also because when he says something, it doesn't mean it's the whole truth about him.

xiao tells lumine that he's unable to understand human emotions but he's one of the most gentle souls she's ever met. he says she shouldn't get too close to him and then, swears that he will be always there when she calls. birthdays are useless in his eyes but he makes a gift for her, nonetheless. sight seeing in the city is not his thing but he's still willing to go there with her - for her.

it's all a bunch of little white lies xiao tells her and himself; and it takes everything in lumine to pretend not to notice it.

because although he might say he's not emotional nor romantic, she sees something way different. every little gesture, like how he makes use of any excuse - no matter how flimsy it is - just to touch her and stay by her side longer. the longing glances when his gaze always searches for her figure in every room he enters. she feels his eyes linger on the expanse of her skin even when the conversation between them is over, burning in a way that makes her want to grab him by the collar of his shirt and kiss him senseless.

it makes lumine tense, too. just a little.

even when he's silent, xiao's aura is so intense...

there's more to him. perhaps, it's something he isn't truly aware of. but perhaps, he knows that emotions - that odd hunger and yearning that flashes across his face from time to time - he hides are deep enough to push him to the point of no return, swallow him whole and destroy his self-control. the enormity of fondness he holds for her is scary at times–

nonetheless... xiao lumine knows - the honest and open side of him - is kind, gentle.

no matter how careless she is, he takes care if her and is worried about her well-being more than she is. he stays by her side at night to make sure she sleeps well. his voice softens while he's speaking to her, too - when he says her name like it means everything to him. like she is everything he has ever wished for and more.

and maybe, hopefully, it's true and xiao wants lumine. just how she wants him, if not more.

#xiaolumi #genshin impact #xiao #lumine #xiao x lumine #xiao's expressions aren't telling lumine much but she's still able to get an inkling of his true feelings so easily #maybe it's because she hides parts of her true self she considers ugly too and says that everything's fine when she's obviously not #and it's not that they're liars because they are not. it's just... a force of habit. kind of.#it's hard for them to see themselves for who they truly are - without overthinking and noticing the flaws they wish to erase #and it's hard to embrace their emotions and be completely honest and vulnerable when the world has ripped their hearts apart so many times #their relationship is so precious to me because they really adore each other so much and stick together no matter what. THIS IS TRUE LOVE!#xiaolumi my beloved <3 #writers on tumblr #fanfiction #fanfic #writing

youtube is experimenting with server side ads... the internet is actively hostile. why should i have to pay for the privilege to not be exposed to your shit moderation system. im constantly served homophobic political ads and cult religious shit, gambling is apparently too risky to show to kids but it's fine if the advertisers pay you, alcohol is great and fun and couldnt possibly cause someone to relapse, black and white one frame strobes are awesome, the real mr beast will give me $10k if i take this quick survey, and the young kids staying at my house get served TWO HOUR LONG ads because these vultures know the kids dont know how to skip. fuck you and fuck your website, im not paying money just because you cant do your damn jobs and actually keep this place safe

#relevant here bc if this isnt easy to block out i will straight up abandon youtube #im not giving myself constant headaches with these fucking horror movie ads that HAVE to use strobes all the time #im sick of alcohol and drugs and gambling #homophobes are allowed to tell me to kill myself but if a pro-gay ad gets dished out it's indoctrination #constantly get ads about the fucking border. about abortion. whatever talking point they have this week #im trying to watch mario can you leave me the fuck alone #chat #throwback to when tumblr mobile had that sirius xm ad that had the really bad strobe #i reported it every single time. took a few weeks but it eventually got vaporized #i can handle an ad or two but can they just be for like. candy or something. a cleaning product. idk something normal #why are these ads trying to force me into bad habits or scam me or make me kill everyone including myself #why cant i just watch a fucking coca cola commercial

so my general paranoia has always been pretty bad (hi ocd) but I thought it was more manageable the past few years as I've matured and gotten better at catching myself before I spiral, but recently (as in the past three weeks or so) it's been so bad that I do things impulsively as I'm spiralling without even realising it and it's been negatively affecting the way I perceive how friends think of me which I do NOT want to start happening again because that sucked. Idk why it's happening but I'd be grateful for any advice idrk what else to say about it.

#But anyways if you catch me acting really strange (more than usual)#or saying/doing things that seem overly docile or apologetic it's just another spiral don't worry about it #I genuinely don't know why it's gotten so much worse like I didn't change my meds I didn't change my diet I didn't change my habits #nothing crazy happened #I just have no idea #forcing myself to be vulnerable to my friends because I need help and it's about time I let people know that #affirmations certainly help but I feel so so bad asking for them like 'ohh I'm just fishing for compliments' or 'ohh I need someone to say #smthn nice every 6 seconds or I die' or 'ohhh I'm being so dramatic wahh' you know how it is #I at first thought it was just one or two occasions but no it's happened repeatedly consistently with ALL of my friends #and even coworkers and professors #I need to get out of my head I apologise to everyone who's ever had to deal with me spiralling #I promise I don't say the shit I do because I want you to feel bad for me I just genuinely in the moment am thinking that way #I know it's bad and after it's over I feel awful about it but idk what to do

Day 7: Light

how convenient, to be his own nightlight. it's almost like he's meant to be reading until sunrise...!

13, trying to prevent yaz from spiralling when they get separated: i need you to do a deepdive into eschatology

#fghgjhjhggh #'yea i know this sucks babe but we'll figure it out the fate of the world is on your shoulders i believe in you kisses <3'#like thats where you'll end up right #'find out when the aliens come try and take over'#eschatology and death cults and conspiracy theories probably #forced to sift through like centuries of that stuff for years on end trying to find the Real in all of it #and you cant.......stop. bc the world will end #i dont think you come out of that.................normal #even with the best starting condition you dont come out of that normal but yaz is like #functional only by virtue of her circumstances i think #she looks fine bc shes standing next to 13 #i dont think shes normal under the surface #i dont think 4 years of apocalypticism left her untouched #dan either i mean i dont think anyone comes out of that untouched but these two are like barely keeping it together beforehand #can you imagine how WEIRD theyve become #can you imagine how obliviously and kind of unsettlingly weird they'd be in support groups #the others would get it like sure none of us are really normal anymore but like #i think they'd be weird #4 years of having to depend on each other and not knowing if you'll get back home and having to take The End Times seriously nonstop as a #matter of urgency and duty #and then losing the third member of your party?#dan and yaz will be so weird and fucked up #iknow im repeating myself but im just trying to put myself in the frame of mind of #having to take intepretations of the end times seriously for 4 years #when youre already like a lowkey suicidal person to begin with #i think if yaz hangs out with 14 she'll say such weird and fucked up things entirely obliviously and he'd be like O.O #she probably still has 1900 habits that show up unexpectedly #or like just miscalibrated. has to take a trip to another country and takes a train bc she forgets planes exist #has to look up somethign and just goes SIGH. gets her coat to go to the library. and ryans like ??? ive googled it #and shes like oh fuck google

anyone get it or

#was the fig tree from the prologue intentional. maybe not. did it cause a heart attack when i reread foa. most certainly #not to mention the tone shift in the songs too. and theyre about descent. its too easy LIKE WHATEVER.#like im being realistic about how figs are quite common in ancient greece etc but lord fucking almighty....#plus the patreon snippet of a younger pc and hermes. im going to be sick #<- about to start making some shit up about how they have shared so much with each other their entire lives #traded kindnesses and gifts and confided in the other with their worries . and the other being there is just SO EASY!!!!!#and when hermes offers seph a fruit. like of course they accept #and OF COURSE they try to share it. and like every time they've sat together (on olympus/in the underworld/in the gardens/during a party)#hermes gladly takes it!!!! it's a habit !!!!!!! IT'S AN INSTINCT!!!!! the offer is almost a surprise but hermes shouldn't have been #not really when his hand moves faster than he thinks and he realises he expects that kindness #not in an unkind way or a selfish way. but because he knows seph the way they know him !!! and seph has always been kind!!!!!#and then he realises that he expects /seph/ in his life and suddenly cannot imagine it without them !!!!!!!!!! LIKE CMON #yes this has me by the throat and im ALMOST webweaving but this is mostly about me forcing de selby onto these two #have been fixated on this moment and the sharing and the exchanging since ch8 dropped . hozier is just exacerbating the visions #('sure sunshine. let's share') <- this is not just about that fucking fig #foa

*Slams hands on desk*

So- wouldn't it be cool if dragon tamers kept their nails long, in a claw-like shape, to be closer to their dragon pokèmon while they train? See it as the tamers trying to establish a connection through similarities with a feature usually common in dragons (and obtainable by humans).

And following that- pianists usually need to keep their nails short to have a better range of movement on the keys right? Since nails easily bump or get caught into them especially when you're playing more complex pieces.

What I'm getting at-.. what if Hassel used to have long, claw-like nails but cut them short the moment he decided to leave the tamer life to pursue his musician dream? Not only to play at the best of his abilities but to also symbolically cut off his old life/family ties to make room for who he truly wanted to become.

And listen- I also just love the image of DragonTamer!Hassel laying his hand atop the piano keys in a moment of reflection, his eyes darting between one and the other.

He is weighting his possibilities and what there is to lose and to gain if he was to run away or stay.

But then one of his clawed fingers presses down a tiny bit too hard and a note escapes the piano, clearing his mind from any doubt.

The Dragon Tamer cannot stay. The claws have to go.

...No, no. I'm fine really, I'm fine- :,>

#the cloud can speak oh boi #pokemon scarlet and violet spoilers #pokemon sv spoilers #pokemon sv #headcanon #it's my headcanon and I can choose how cheesy and random it can be-#This thought was brought by me who was about to draw Hassel with long nails to resemble a dragon #(no wait nevermind it was writing not drawing- force of habit)#but then I remembered they really arent great when you want to play instruments like a piano :D #and do I just back away from the idea? AH- nope. HEADCANON TIME #Yes I love reaching and adding absolute random headcanons to characters I'm obsessed with thank you for noticing <3 dfsfs #also yeah he still trains dragon types- but I'd say he does it more like a regular trainer instead of a tamer #...the loss of the long nails tho- I shall console myself by giving him sharp teeth instead whoop-#Oh and I might be missing some pieces of his lore since I dont have the game and cant investigate for myself soo- yeah;;

i applied for this job (that i feel a little overqualified for. it isn’t work i’ve specifically done before but i’ve done enough that is similar & have kept a comparable job for years & also it’s listed as entry level with pretty low pay) and i got an email that i didn’t even get an interview

#finding work that doesnt force you to compromise on values is hard #and its wild! i have a lot of relevant experience and meet all their qualifications and nearly all of their additional desired ones #i guess it wasnt meant to be but woof #i applied for something else i think id be really good at but i have way less relevant experience so tbh im expecting rejection there but #thought it would be good experience #jobs are weird. i think there is a world i have a career and i am extremely passionate and good at what i do #i like being able to take pride in work #but like. i really have yet to find that in work i'm not making for myself #i do wish i could go back to being 21 at the sawmill. i was fucking going through it when i worked there #and if i wasnt going thru a breakup and deep in grief and the menagerie of bad habits id picked up i think i wouldve excelled #but yknow i got a lot of chances and learned a lot and i look back fondly. really couldnt have had a better boss there NGL...just wish id #done a little better yknow?#we didnt vibe politically but we really got along otherwise and i think we shared the same values for work and craft and stuff and id love #to find that again
