Tumblr is lucky I am an insomniac

These are 4 of my precious babies.

They are 4 of the 5/7 main cast of my original story Animafia. TW for Mafia story stuff

Animafia is a dark drama story that takes place in a modern society, but in the future. Humans have gone extinct due to wars and pollution, but left the chance to new life form, in the form of embryo's mixed with animal DNA. This way, Animans were born. They have been evolving for centuries but in a series of unfortunate events they've grown to fall into humanities vices, including crime, drugs, violence and more.

The story revolves around the cat Animan named Metsume Holiver, who is the only daughter of a wealthy and kind man named Isak Holiver. Metsume grew up in a rich environment, and was sheltered from her dad's work, only interacting with those that lived with her (which to be fair were a lot of people). One day, she receives a phone call during her university history class, and is found with the news that her Father was publicly executed, and found dead on the town square. Metsume finds herself inheriting her father's business, the second biggest criminal organization in New Zoolia, named Animafia.

The story follows her learning how to deal with her new role and also seeking vengeance for her father, all awhile learning the truth behind the people she grew up close to but never knew what they did.

[am-i-the-asshole-official]

AITA for yelling at my friend on call for complaining about her grades? OK so, I (Ftm, 16) have a friend I'll call karla (F 16) shes very kind and she's also very talented. She does a lot of art stuff and shes won multiple awards. She's in honors and she has nearly all A's.

on the last day of school we where sitting at the lunch table and we where talking about grades and I was quiet cus I didn't get any like "good" grades. The thing is though, I hang out with a lot of smart kids. Everyone at my lunch table doesn't have anything lower than a C except one other person who only has one D+.

now i know grades arent a compitition but Karla was talking about how her grades where "so bad" and how she was so upset that she got- heaven forbid- a B- in math!! How horrible!!

and she kept going on and on about this B-, saying she was a failure and all that that I just got pissed.

i told her to shut up, that besides that B-, her grades where PERFECT. That her academic and creative life was PERFECT. That she doesn't get to call herself a failure cus what does that make EVERY SINGLE OTHER PERSON AT THAT TABLE?

now i'll admit i do think im kinda jealous of her. And I'm like 95% sure I'm the asshole cus she just left the table afterward. BUt Im just so bitter and tired of hearing of these gifted perfect kids sucking their own dick in front of other people.

idk im probably the asshole. i have apologized by now but she hasn't responded. I feel horrible I think. sorry for rambling at the end there-

AITA for telling a friend off for complaining about her good grades?

Chapter 21: since forever

Don't ask him how, but he'd managed to get the producers to give them the Hideaway for the night. Honestly, all he could remember was that he'd rambled on about wanting to foster that connection between him and Rory, and considering she was still coupled up with Travis, he didn't want to be disrespectful and- ...

Well, you get the idea.

I finally bit the bullet and started on my Rogues full-bodies, and of course I had to start with the three Rogues who made this AU to begin with! I’m also gonna use this post to ramble about them a bit!

As different as these three may seem, they’re all artists at heart. And that’s what brought them together! In a way.

I don’t want to get into how they met just yet, but I do want to talk about them in present day terms. As of now, all three of them live on the far outskirts of Gotham in Lazlo’s farmhouse. Lazlo was less than thrilled by this at first, and actually tried to get rid of CF and MM on multiple occasions. But after a while he caved, and let them stay. Not without a price, though. Money means nothing to Lazlo, he’s perfectly self sustained and fully capable of stealing anything he can’t grow or make himself. So, instead of the kid’s paying him to live in his house, their form of “rent” is helping Lazlo around the house and farm.

When it comes to the more nefarious activities of these Rogues, they don’t actually work together all that often. Their personal goals and methods are just too different to keep a sturdy team dynamic. (Karla and Darius are more than glad to stay away from Lazlo’s whole Human Doll thing.) But this doesn’t mean they won’t work together at all, it just means they only team up for smaller schemes.

So I guess it's as good a time as any to have a pinned post?

Hi, I'm Sticks! I use vae/vaer/vaers/vaerself and it/its pronouns. This is a multifandom blog with a dash of many other random things. I'm a proshipper, cloneshipper, multishipper, and polyshipper.

I'll tag things to the best of my ability if you ask. Sometimes I'll forget. I love being tagged in ask games, WIP games, last line challenges, literally whatever. Mutuals can DM for my discord.

You can check out my fics on AO3 at lizardwrites (Star Wars) or purpleturtle9000 (Rise/Bayverse TMNT). Or check the tag for sticks' fics to see drabbles and previews. My askbox is open for requests for more drabbles, headcanons, and general rambling.

Consider this a blanket permission for any and all transformative works of my writing. You may post translated versions of my fics on other sites but you may not repost the original work. And please show me what you've made!

I have a lot of OCs and I love talking about them. I also want to hear all about yours! In the meantime, there's a list of mine below the cut. tumblr wouldn't let me link all of them, but you can try copy-pasting the-starry-seas.tumblr.com/tagged/ and put in the character name (I tag with ranks, so put in CT Racer instead of just Racer).

There are people out there who put my thoughts about AI in much better words than I ever could and if I would sound like a broken record or a parrot if I gonna repeat what people like Steven Zapata, Karla Ortiz, Sinix or all these other amazing artists already said about it. But I have a message for those who currently think about giving up on Art because of the AIs and the Layoffs that are surrounding it. You know, we humans have something that machines do not have. It's a soul. A wide range of complex emotions. A whole lot of experiences. We Humans are unique in our own way and unique in a sense that we have our own voices. Even if you are young and haven't found your yet, I am sure that you will discover it and that you will be able to make the most beautiful artwork that mankind ever has seen. All you need to do is to believe in yourself, in your skills and in your creativity. Because after all, a artwork is so much more than it being pretty or cool. Even if you draw the most mundane stuff, there is your soul into it. All your emotions. All your experiences. And if that isn't reason enough to stay creative, I don't know what else to tell you! So please, keep creating.

I could ramble so much more about this topic but that would make this post unnessarily long. Instead, let me tell you a little synopsis about this image: Originally I plan to be much softer topicvise with this image. A "Support Human artists" in the background, wholesome and warm colors. Midway through the image I then thought "Nah screw this, I gonna make this image cool. And so this image was done. I think I'm very proud of it because all the practice that I currently put into getting better really shows in my artwork and it makes me truely happy! Hopefully I will get better in drawing elbows better in the future though.

I was looking through some ask games and was wondering if you could answer What is the character’s go-to drink order for Rikard? I really love learning obscure bits of information about your characters :)

Oh also! I follow you because a) I think you’re just a genuinely cool person, and b) I love your original stories and characters so much! Like. genuinely. I’m so attached to your silly guys and your writing is fantastic and I hope you have a wonderful day

Senpai sent an ask oh boy I gotta take my time on this and make it good proceeds to ramble all over

Sugar crops weren’t grown in Kirk’s Wood - it was far too cold for sugarcane, and sugarbeets haven’t been transported into the region - but various flavorful herbs and other plants could be readily found in the nearby woods. Even though he grew up drinking assorted tisanes, those managed to not carry a negative association like most other reminders of that time.

Rikard thinks boba tea is interesting and plans to suggest it the next time Karla demands foodplay. He thinks she'll enjoy the tapioca bubbles' texture.

During his travels, he encountered a drink made with rice (genmaicha) and greatly enjoyed it. Can't find it most places but if it's on the menu he's ordering it.

Otherwise, the stronger the better - unflavored black tea is what he'll order if boba and genmaicha aren't available; he was advised to try mate but has yet to locate a vendor. Nutty tasting tea is reserved as a comfort drink.

Another Problem: Chapter 15

Hey, sorry for the long wait! I've not been doing good mentally, and it has caused me to procrastinate a ton. I am thankfully doing much better but still struggling. I hope to get back into this more next year so I can write something more for you all. That being said, please be patient when it comes to chapter updates. I have a life outside this, and I only can write when I have the energy and time. Before you ask, no one has been giving me a hard time, just myself, which is sadly normal behavior for me. I feel bad when I can't update or do anything I enjoy, and it makes me worry I'm letting you all down. Luckily, I am out of the little stump I created and back into writing this weird story. I plan to add more filler chapters (cause why not) to expand on some of the other's backstories before the present time. Also, to remind you all, you can ask me questions about my AU or OCs. Don't be shy just to come by and say hello as well. Anywho, enough of me rambling. Enjoy! <3 Laura

The rest of the lunch break was nice, besides the teasing remarks from Roxanne and Penny. However, I had a witty comeback that shocked the others before some burst out in laughter while others stared in shock. It was nice to be back and to see everyone interact with each other. I wish I could break out of my shell and be confident like them, but it takes time. Maybe with the new job, I can start boosting my confidence.

I waved the others farewell, grabbed my things, and began heading to the daycare. I decided to take the tunnels as I needed the time to myself before I helped entertain kids for the rest of the day and a break from the bright lights. Other than the occasional sounds of S.T.A.F.F. bots patrolling and pipes hissing, it helped collect my thoughts on things I needed to do before I go rest later tonight. I decided to check my to-do list on my phone that I was given while I continued walking through the tunnels.

"Let's see... make sure the rock wall is safe, fix one of the light fixtures in the West Arcade, and fix one of the ball dispensers in Gator Golf. I'll save Gator Golf for last so I can check one rock wall," I told myself as I turned the corner. Unfortunately, I bumped into someone, making them fall and me to stumble. "Oh, sorry! I wasn't paying attention." I lent a hand and helped the worker up. I heard a scoff from them before they mumbled, "Oh. It's you. Surprised they fucking let something like your ugly ass stay online."

My ears drooped at the harsh words, making my mechanical heartache. "Please refrain from swearing while you're working, ma'am. We may be away from guests, but it's better not to make a habit of it," I reminded them with a fake smile, unable to stop my automated response. "Whatever, weirdo. What are you doing down here? You need a checkup or something?" they asked coldly. I shook my head, "No, ma'am. I was on my way to the daycare to help the attendants until closing." "Good. 'Cause I already have enough on my plate." They then bumped into me purposely as they walked away.

After turning the corner, I could unwillingly hear their insults about me. Their female friend, who was registered as Karla, snickered, "Yeah, Jackie. She's not even good enough to be considered an entertainer. Honestly, it makes the others look like a joke. How could the company want to make someone like a scaredy cat that could cause an accident to be an entertainer? She's not even good to look at! What a weak excuse for an android!" They then laughed as they walked around the corner, leaving me alone in the dark hallway.

I felt tears wanting to escape my eyes as I sniffled quietly. I then hugged myself to comfort myself. I continued to walk to the daycare in silence. This was sadly a regular occurrence for me with some of the female staff during the later hours of the plex being open. They had caused me to be more insecure about my appearance than I already am. They always joked about my appearance regardless of who was in earshot. The rumors didn't help either.

It wasn't my fault I was built like this. To enjoy and do things that others could consider childish. To only eat specific foods and drinks. How I couldn't sit completely still no matter how hard I tried. I was just built this way.

Freddy always told me that I shouldn't be ashamed of being myself. It's not that I'm ashamed of being myself; it was more of a fear of being judged. Now that I would be an entertainer, I would have to deal with the constant stares more.

Honestly, I didn't know what caused others to treat me differently. I had always been nice to others and never caused any issues to make them act this way. At least to my knowledge. Was it something I said to someone or just out of spite?

I had asked the twins about it, not wanting to bother Freddy or the others, without going into too much detail. They said that it also happens to them from time to time. The only difference between them and me is that they know why they are treated that way while I'm left in the dark.

I felt my bag shuffle, causing me to escape my depressing thoughts. Chip's head poked out, and his fur looked like someone with a bedhead. He yawned before climbing up my bag strap to ride on my shoulder. He nuzzled my cheek, making me smile a bit, "Hey, bud. How was your nap?" He looked at me and shrugged as we arrived at some stairs. He could tell that something had happened but chose not to ask.

It wasn't long before I heard the familiar jingle of the daycare theme. I shook off the encounter from earlier as best as I could, knowing that Sun and Moon would ask why I looked sad as I opened the doors leading to the outside of the daycare area. It wasn't too crowded, but still busy enough that I struggled to navigate through the crowd. Then, making sure my rimless shades were on and I was calm, I walked toward the daycare entrance.

According to some pictures I've seen in the museum in Rockstar Row, the daycare got a massive remodel. The daycare doorway now had stars scattered across the wooden door, and the handles were decorated with a sun and moon to match the attendants. In addition, the inside had been decked out with all sorts of things to keep the children busy and happy. There were more slides, jungle gyms, and a space pirate-themed playground in one of the corners. It also had a designated area for naptime with pillow forts, beanbags, and stars. It was appropriately named Naptime Palace, which I thought was cute. The only thing kept the same was the ball pit under the balcony.

I smiled as I heard the children's laughter from behind the door. "You ready for the chaos?" I jokingly said as I gently grabbed Chip to hold as a plushy. He looked up at me in confusion, making me giggle. "Act like your a plush for a bit. I know you don't like being carried like this, but I wanna surprise them," I explained to him as I grabbed the door.

Chip nodded as I opened the door, going limp to appear like a plush. I closed the door before I heard the sound of bells in the distance. I looked over at the desk and saw Mia typing on the computer in front of her. "Hi, Mia!" She turned her head and smiled before walking over to me. "Violet! Finally back from your grand adventure?" I nodded, knowing she was referring to my lockdown. "Yeah. It was quite lonely and depressing, to say the least, but I'm glad to be back."

Mia frowned a bit, "They didn't mistreat you, did they?" I shook my head and faked a smile, "Not at all. I just got stuck with my thoughts, which took a toll on me. Nothing to worry about." Before Mia could push any further, a group of kids saw me. "Ms. Violet!" I turned to the group and smiled, "Hello! How is everyone?" They all shouted good as my ears wiggled in delight. "I am glad to hear."

They all began to bombard me with questions, speaking over each other as I stood there, overwhelmed by the amount of attention. I was luckily saved when Chip got fed up with being a plushie and broke free from my grasp, scaring Mia and surprising the children. "Whoa! Cool!" a young boy around six exclaimed going looking at Chip.

"Let me introduce you to Chipper, or Chip as he prefers to be called. He doesn't have a voice like you and me, but he does understand what we say." Chip fixed his fur before bowing to the kids. "What does he do?" I smiled, "Well, he helps takes care of me. We all know how I can be a bit clumsy sometimes." The kids giggled as Chip made a silly face.

Mia clapped, "Okay, everyone! Now that our surprise guest is here, you know what that means?" "Arts and Crafts time!" Sunny popped out of nowhere, making me jump as the kids cheered. The kids and Mia headed towards the crafts area as Sunny brought me into a hug, "Good afternoon, Starlight!" I giggled, "Hey, Sunny. How is your day going so far?"

"Super duper! Moony and I haven't fought once. Though it might be due to Moony inviting Ms. Mia to watch a movie tonight," he whispered excitingly, putting me down. "Oh? Is that allowed? I know she's your assistant and everything, but isn't it against the rules to have day staff stay overnight?" I asked curiously. "I made sure to inform Officer Vanessa about Ms. Mia staying tonight. Even if Moony still thinks we can't trust her."

I tilted my head in confusion at the comment. It's not that it was a surprise for Moon to trust others, but I found this weird. Like Monty, Moon hated Vanessa with a passion. I never understood why, but I didn't feel like asking since it wasn't my business.

"That sounds like fun. Will you be joining them?" I asked as Chip hopped onto my bag. Sunny nodded as he grabbed my hand, "Now, enough about me, how about you? How are you, Starlight?" I walked with him to where everyone was and sat down on the padded floor, "It's been okay. I got to meet Bonnie."

I opened my bag and heard Sun dramatically gasp as he sat down, "He's back?!" I smiled and nodded as I got out my sketchbook and a pencil. "And he didn't even bother to come to meet us?" I jumped slightly as I turned to see Moon coming from his station. He snickered before sitting beside me, "Good to see that you haven't changed much." I sighed as I smiled, opening my sketchbook. "Nice to see you too, Moon. How did last night go?"

I felt him glare at me, "None of your business." Me and Sun giggled as Moon blushed in embarrassment. It was quiet for a bit before Moon cupped my face and forced me to look at him. "How long did you rest last night?" I lowered my ears in embarrassment as Sun looked at Moon. "Now, brother, you can't just-"

"Three hours." A huge frown appeared on their faces as they looked at me. While Moon was more of a disappointment, Sun was with concern and worry. "Starlight. You need to rest, or else your battery will get ruined," Sunny whispered, trying not to draw attention to the kids around us. "I'm fine, Sunny. I just had to deal with Chip's aftermath after everyone left. He wasn't too fond of me not giving him much attention last night. It wasn't my fault I crashed on the sofa instead of my bed," I whispered as I removed Moon's hands from my face.

"After you help me with naptime, you're taking a nap. No exceptions. No excuses," Moon stated sternly as Mia walked over with art supplies for the twins. I pouted, "But-" "I'll let you use my beanbag."

I looked at him in shock before my eyes lit up. Moon never let anyone use his beanbag, not even Sun. It was a dark blue with stars and planets printed on the fabric. It was a seat for him, but it was big enough to sleep in for someone my size.

"Wait, really?!" He sighed as he saw me basically vibrating in my seat, "Only if you actually recharge and rest." I nodded excitedly as I opened my sketchbook to the page I was working on last night. It was a rough sketch of a dragon emerging from a cave with smoke surrounding it.

Grabbing the pencil I had gotten, I began adding details to the drawing. I could feel Sunny trying to peek a quick look, making me cover up the sketch. "Come on, Starlight! Can I pretty please have a look?" he pleaded with puppy eyes. I blushed and shook my head, "I'm not ready to share yet. Soon, but not yet."

Sunny smiled as he patted my head comfortingly as he went back to his little art project. I sighed in relief at him dropping the subject. Though part of me wanted to share what I drew, it was more of a challenge than performing in front of others. Though, I should try getting out of my shell since I won't have as much privacy anymore.

I stopped drawing, turned to an old drawing I made a while ago, and gently tore the page out. Next, I turned it upside down and slid it next to the glitter glue Sun was using. I then turned to another page, did the same thing, and slid it to Moon. "Here."

They both looked at me in confusion as a shade dusted my cheeks and ears. Sun, being curious, turned the paper around, and his eyes went wide. It was a drawing of him in his jester outfit and sun headband, sitting on the balcony above the ball pit. He was silent as he studied the illustration.

In one of the corners was a miniature cartoon version of his old look that I was able to find in the museum. Sunny then hurriedly took Moon's paper, much to his quiet protest, and looked at it with a smile. It was the same, but instead of his being on the balcony, it was on his beanbag. The cartoon version of Moon, however, gave more of gremlin vibes.

"I-I drew these a while back. I wanted to give it to you both as a thanks for dealing with my weird behavior, but anxiety got the better of me," I explained as I played with my hair anxiously. Sun hand Moon his drawing before bringing me into a big tight hug. He began babbling about how amazing it looked as I smiled in relief.

"You sure have changed since we last were together. You never showed us any of your drawings before," Moon commented in suspension. "Since I'm going to be in the crowd's eye more, I thought I would start getting out of my comfort zone and test myself. After all, I probably won't be getting any more privacy from now on." Moon studied my face before standing up, most likely to start mentally getting ready for naptime. "Just don't push yourself too hard, okay? Can't have my favorite weirdo getting hurt anymore," he teased as he ruffled my hair.

I whined as he chuckled at me fixing my hair with a playful pout. "See you in ten, shorty. Hope you have a song prepared for naptime." Moon walked away towards Naptime Palace, holding the drawing in his hand. I plopped my head down on the table as I relaxed my nerves before helping Sun and Mia with the kids.

Poet?

Funny how things work, once you have all these thoughts inside your head, consuming you on a daily basis, not knowing what to do with all these emotions that go unexpressed. And then, like a classic middle-aged woman in therapy, your shrink suggests you "write" to let it all out.

All? It's too much, I could never find a place to start and how to entangle everything that's happening inside my head and put it into words. But figured I had a lot going on, and my words are not too simple or vane, they're mine and therefore are important (to probably no one else but me). So, I dusted the only platform I could think of to do it anonymously and ta-da! Here we are.

I figured everyone who writes stories or thoughts, good, bad, sad, pretty, well-thought or not call themselves "poets" and it felt beautiful to me. Am I good? Hell no. Did I study literature for this? Composition? Again, no. Am I a lousy poet? You bet. But I don't do this for anyone's entertainment or enjoyment. I do this, as Karla would say "to let it all out".

Ideally no one would read this but myself, but if you stumble across this platform and think "yeah dude, sure. Another aspiring writer..." just dismiss me. Particularly with this, I want to exist in the shadows, just let my thoughts out and live my life without this burdening my everyday activities. "Dumpling", you'd call it. That's the word. I come here to "dump" my thoughts and then go on about my day.

But I rambled too much, I tend to do that.

Let it be known that today, the Tortured Souls Society has been founded, its only member being me.

And I love that.

Matheran

Another exemplary slope station extremely near Mumbai, Matheran is a no-vehicle zone to keep it quiet and contamination free. It is extremely renowned for its tight check toy train. Enjoy cascade rappelling at the Kondana Caves Waterfall or trip to the Chanderi Caves, Peb or the Kalavantin Pinnacle. There are a few experience camps for corporate people that offer outbound exercises in the town. In case you are searching for something somewhat less courageous, you can ride riding a horse and visit the different focuses in and out of town that offer some dazzling perspectives. Absorb the grand environmental elements and the new, clean air at one of the lavish inns and simply de-push and loosen up. Unadulterated, pure fun that is the thing that Matheran is.

oh this resonates so much with me i gonna put my 5ct here.

yes i know what you mean. i've been comparing myself to others since i picked up a pencil as a kid (not kidding; i've compared myself to class mates in 1st grade and i had a super talented one); and it was as painful back then as it is nowadays i can't make myself stop.

if artist envy was a discipline, i'd be top nodge lol. i'd be winning awards at it. browsing tumblr and twitter gives me joy and so much pain at the same time. there are so many inspiring, funny, cool works but also--holy gods, when i look at some of the big fishes here in the astarion fandom pond my art looks to me like this

and what i am trying to express in a somewhat funny way can actually be extremly painful. some weeks ago i tried to paint a somewhat semi realist astarion and i figured there was something off with it all the time and i couldn't tell what it was. then funnily, shortly after i finished it, the tumblr algo would put a remarkably well executed astarion on my timeline and it felt like being hit by a truck.

does this sound silly? maybe. but i am a friend of honestly coming out about these struggles because i feel like i am not alone with them and i wanna let you know, you're not alone with these. because other artists being honest about these feelings helps me a lot.

i'm going to go a little further and tell you that i woke up with toothache next morning because i was so frustrated i probably grinded my teeth like shit over night. yes that bad :'>

but then i decided to step away from astarion's face a few days and got myself out of that horrible headspace. sometimes changing the focus helps a lot.

but there is always that feeling. "It's always the others who slay, it's not me, it's never gonna be me." but in the end of the day, these are just fucking thoughts.

when it comes to improving it is defintely necessairy to study pro artists work. but i have found a workaround here: studying the work of the top dogs of the industry. looking at their work doesn't spark jealousy or feelings of a loser within me; i simply don't have this "This could be me but it's not" feeling. they're so faaar above, they're just like the artgods for 20+ years and i'm not jealous of gods because I'm none. XD I can learn from them without gnawing my teeth and feel like poop. IDK if this trick would do it for you, but maybe it helps. people like karla ortiz, charlie bowater, min yum (bumskee), peter morbacher, nabetse zitro, samdoesarts, loish, rossdraws.... ahh there are so many; you can find many more on google when you check the most popular digital artists of our time. it also helps to study artists from the past like norman rockwell or joseph leyendecker. :)

i'm sorry for rambling so much, i could write a book about this but i think that's probably the gist of what i wanted to say :')

i hope you're going to feel better about your art 💞

I'm fightin for my life in Unity and fucking with ilustrations for my board game at the university. Next comic is very much WIP, but expect some fluff and love. Need to take a break from cum and penises.

I am a softie :c
