#let me tell you about queue

awesome, so instead of a reprint like he was considering, joe murray's decided to just release his book as a free pdf/ebook!

i had a lot of trouble getting my hands on a copy (and i got extremely lucky to only pay $80 instead of the $200-$300 it usually goes for!) so this is awesome ❤

[crispyliza]

It's a real struggle

How long does it take you usually to fulfill requests? They seem fairly detailed 🤔

i'll be completely honest, i don't really know! i mean, it depends on exactly what you mean. sometimes it takes weeks for me to even get to some requests with how my inbox is (the oldest one right now is from the very beginning of december, so sorry if you've been waiting that long!!), but from sketching to the finished piece varys greatly

my estimate is anywhere between 20-30 minutes to a few hours. i think there's only been a few times where it takes me multiple days, and thats usually when i start them right before going to bed

Is it bad that I don’t want to give birth? Like, I told some of my friends and family that I don’t want to give birth and they told me that I’d change my mind and I told them I wouldn’t and they get mad at me. I told them that I’d adopt kids instead to give them a home and living family but they say that doesn’t matter and count because they won’t be biological.

That's not bad at all!! I know a lot of people that feel the same way. Hell, I feel the same way. I don't want to give birth and I'm very against having children. I've known that pretty much my whole life since I was old enough to conceptualize children and parenthood (very young as a woman growing up in America), and I was always told I'd change my mind someday.

Well, it's been about 20 years and I haven't changed my mind at all. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. The constant societal pressure that every generation has gone through of "you have to have children otherwise your life is meaningless" has very much been challenged as of late with plenty of people realizing your life doesn't end as soon as you're old enough to have children. A lot of those people pushing that narrative shouldn't have had kids in the first place. The world would probably be a lot better off if people that didn't want kids but were pressured into it by society just hadn't given into that pressure.

There's plenty of neglected, abandoned children, and children in foster care that deserve love and support. So yeah, if you don't want to give birth, then there's nothing to feel bad about. You've made that decision and anyone that tries to tell you otherwise is only recycling the same societal pressures that probably made them have children they didn't want.

And if anyone says adopted or fostered children don't count, then kindly say fuck them and don't speak to them again. Same with people that say IVF or children born of surrogates. Just because you didn't give birth to your child no matter the reason, that doesn't make them "not your child." Hell I know there's people out there that say C-sections aren't "giving birth" because it wasn't natural.

Yeah, fuck those people and do what you want. It's your body, it's your life and they can either get over it or get out of your life 🤷

kard was SO FUN but honestly people need to be FAR more mindful of their phones at gigs. i get that you want to film for friends or for memories or whatever other reason, but every time a song starts and a hundred phones go up it makes it REMARKABLY difficult to actually see the stage.

" I don't, actually, " Alastor's smile falls as flat as his tone, his eyes flitting away to fix on some point across the room rather than remaining on Vox. It isn't that he isn't glad to see him, but in a way, that only makes it worse. " But I'll take your word for it. "

It's quite impossible for the Radio Demon to know how complicated things can be in this sense-- He wasn't the one who attempted to entirely replace Vox with someone new, after all. He wasn't the one now having to juggle the consequences of that choice with the consequences of this one.

But he doesn't bother putting that part to words. Salt in the wound is a delicacy he can rarely resist indulging in, but revisiting this flavor right now wouldn't serve either of them.

Vox looks tired. Open. Vulnerable in a way that he usually refuses to allow anyone to see-- in a way that Alastor has spent years missing until recently.

Pushing him away, no matter how much their...situation digs under his skin, isn't what he truly wants.

Instead, he hums in response to Vox's honeyed declaration. A voice inside him-- coldly logical and immune to the torrid trappings of their shared history. The bitter part to the sweetness of their entangled nostalgia-- doesn't believe a word of it, even though he knows the media overlord to never be more honest than when the two of them are alone.

His first choice is his reputation, that voice supplies, It always will be. That's why he runs late over this sort of thing in the first place.

A reputation is all a damned soul truly has.

" Have a seat, Vox, you look like you're about to power down while standing. " Red eyes return to settle on his most precious complication, his ears perking up as he pulls himself together-- forces the possessive ache in his core to unclench, at least for now. " Something to drink ? "

Jevin's choice of armor trim is great for two reasons: -The choice of diamond accents makes it look at first glance like he's just gooping all over/out of his armor and changing its shape -this blog's owner is the #1 fan (and creator) of the headcanon that Jevin is part Vex so seeing that he picked the Vex eyebrow trim is Very Cool. to me. specifically.

[id: Jevin is centered and taking up most of the frame, standing in front of his cathedral base. His body is turned but he's directly facing the camera, allowing a good view of his diamond-trimmed netherite armor, which uses Vex helmet, Silence pants, and possibly Rib boots.]

I-If you look at him an-and you don't see that he is t-the most handsome, sexiest, attractive, m-mouth-watering piece of ass you've ever seen in your life, t-then you need new eyes.

T-Then we found out that we were the same Rick an-and we disliked each other even more. S-Self-loathing and all that shit. Y-Yet...we bonded a little, w-while figuring out how to leave the limbo.

You want to know how bad my memory is?

I was writing last night and I just straight up forgot that Sanji exists. I have been watching this show since 2012, he was my fave Strawhat outside of Luffy pre-TS, and I FORGOT HE EXISTED.

I was like 'hm yes well the ones who would understand are Nami and Robin... W- wasn't there one more I was thinking of a moment ago? Wasn't there another one who'd Get It?????'

'it's not Chopper. Definitely not Usopp. And it's not Zoro. That's all the remaining Strawhats at this point in the story. So... Why am I convinced I'm forgetting someone? Let's go through the arcs in my head agai- OH MY GOD, I FORGOT SANJI'

[chaosintheavenue]

One of the most freaking bizarre facts that has ever been shared with me in my cursed life:

Anybody remember NP? The original JJ torment fic? If you’ve ever seen it, what’s the one burning question you had in your mind after the fact? That’s right, I’m sure you wondered whether it passes the freaking Bechdel test. And thanks to my brother, the world may finally know! The answer is no, it does not.

For a solid moment there, Minho isn't sure if he's being made fun of.

Even after he's being handed a set of napkins - that have seen better days, it seems, and it concerns, making his eyes narrow from suspicion to worry - watching the kid agree to what had very evidently been bullshit on Minho's part, spewed either to lessen the accountability of his daughter or alleviate the tension seeping into his own shoulders, there's a good chance he's suddenly stood before the kind of young adult Soomi would probably praise, for the boldness of their mockery, the courage of their lack of sense for authority.

But the suspicion doesn't fester, even in the silence that stretches around the kid's faltering, the softness of his voice, the way Minho takes the napkins from his extended hand and wipes at the lapels of his coat as if it mattered, as if it wouldn't be easier to just go home with the stain and abandon the coat in the washer along with his dignity.

Minho snorts.

"I wasn't being serious," he interjects softly, somehow not finding the bite in the other, let alone one within himself to offer to the kid. His head tilts, there's an apprehension to his gaze that seems keen on figuring out what the issue here is.

Because there is one.

"It was just an... argument with my daughter," he gesticulates vaguely, unsure of how to reveal the truth without the shame attached to it, the idea that he's failed as a father starting from the moment he'd failed to even show up as one.

He can't blame her.

"I didn't... quite understand that, sorry, but I'm glad she didn't get you," he bundles the napkins into one sorry excuse of their former self, left to find a new home in the inside of the coat he's quickly coming to associate with one of the biggest issues currently changing the trajectory of his life.

Who is this kid?

"Xuān Bǐngjí," he half-asses through the pronunciation with an apologetic smile, trying to inflect it with enough self-deprication and irony to imply his lack of practice with a language clearly not his own isn't intended to come across as malicious.

"All right, Xuān Bǐngjí, I'm Minho, nice to meet you," he extends a hand, waving the bow off with the dismissal of someone who'd rather choke than be given this kind of politeness to.

The next gesturing seems intent on beckoning Xuān Bǐngjí to bring his own hand back into the picture.

"Show me your hand."
