Reblogging to let any fans of good omens know that the tinhatters are still out there making content claiming David and Michael actually hate their children and families and are only with them "out of obligation" whilst having a secret torrid affair on the side.
This is one of the reasons I stepped away from the go fandom, plus what happened with neil, being almost cancelled and then learning we were only getting a 90 min episode. The horrible way with which people treated each other, calling horrible names to fellow fans just because they were disappointed, the creepy obsession and parasocial relationship with David and Michael, all of it.
And it all started with me happily scrolling through the good omens/David/Michael tag and coming across this blog's unhinged posts (along with many others) claiming David, his son, and Georgia's father loathed Georgia. Why you ask? Because she claimed they were sending a "secret message" with their facial expressions during a joke at a doctor who photoshoot. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. At this point these people are erotomaniacs except instead of thinking the celebrity they don't know is in love with them and sending them messages, they believe they're sending them to another celebrity, his secret lover. (David and Michael)
There used to be a blog who dared to call out their shitty and toxic behaviour but unfortunately, as far as the fandom knows, that person passed away from cancer. That absolutely shook me and it was the last straw. It was too much heartbreak and I was never able to engage with the go fandom again.
If you don't want to see any creepy posts about Michael/David or unhinged posts talking shit about their loved ones Georgia and Anna, you can still visit dtmsrpfcringe and check out her block list. I strongly advise, for your own mental health, to just block these people and not engage. Maybe someday someone else will be brave enough/patient enough to call these people out but sometimes it's just not worth it for our mental health to engage with these people. They would literally send horrible anon hate and deny and gaslight their way into believing their delusions. They wouldn't answer any asks asking them for proof of their theories either. I do not believe these people want any help. They have a group of followers who also believe the "theory" and they use everything Michael and David do in public to justify that they are secretly gay, together and hate their current partners.
This might sound super dramatic and dumb but it absolutely ruined the fandom experience for me. I used to love seeing Georgia's and Anna's content, along with random David and Michael content but now every time I see it I just think about the mean spirited and creepy posts some people are using them for.
Also, they use RPF as justification for their behaviour
I am not a personal fan of rpf but I follow the "don't like, don't read rule". Rpf is a sub genre of fanfiction using real people's names and descriptions (actors, musicians, celebrities, etc) instead of fictional characters.
What rpf is NOT: obsessively stalking an actor's family, friends, routine, whereabouts, and making up rumours about their real life claiming them as TRUTH.
These people are not making up RPF stories about Michael and David, which can be clearly labelled as such on ao3 and therefore be recognised as fanfiction. They are making up stories about them and claiming them to be true, using extensive footage, photos and blind items (a gossip blog with no sources) as evidence.
I literally cannot do this anymore. I have these blogs blocked but the other day they showed up as a reblog as I was scrolling Tumblr. It was an absolutely creepy and uncomfortable comment under GIFs of David describing Michael in an interview, joking about wanting to be a Vet Detective and Michael being an old dog he would put down. THEY USE THIS AS IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE THAT THESE MEN ARE FUCKING AND TREAT ANYONE WHO DISAGREES OR POINTS OUT THE CREEPINESS AS BULLIES ATTACKING THEM!
They have pinned posts on their blogs claiming to be victims of anon hate and bullying while we all watched as the only blog that was created to call them out received disgusting and horrible anon hate.
If they got them or not I don't know, but I know damn well they sent a lot of it.
I'm sorry for rambling but I just want any of my followers to know about this and for the sake of your mental health stay away
Amy, (aka ingravinoveritas) I am going to say this as kindly as possible. And please, please, please read all of this before you block me. David and Georgia have been together for 16 years. They are a couple who trust each other, and more importantly, they are best friends. I have no idea if you've ever been in a relationship before, but there are some relationships who love to tease each other with dry, dark humor. because thats what some friends do. My parents included. its actually what I love most about them, and they've been together for nearly 25 years now. its what me and my close close friends do as well. It all comes down to trust. kind of like a "hey! only my partner can say that about me!" type of thing. it works for some people, and for other people, not so much. and thats okay! Not everyone has to have the same love language! however, you do not get to dictate what type of love language is best for David and Georgia just because it doesn't match your ideas of what a healthy relationship looks like. there are several types of healthy relationships that come in all shapes and sizes.
I also have no idea what your nationality is, but British humor is a LOT dryer than American humor.
There is nothing off about David "looking into the distance" as he gets his makeup done, or when he looks out a goddamn window for christ's sake. You do not know this man. I know you wish you did, hell, I wish I did too, but you don't. You don't get to decide what feels "off" about the way he acts, because he is not the Doctor. he is not his character on Staged. he is not Crowley.
He is a regular human being who you've only met at a stage door and watched on television.
also, Georgia gets to post whatever the hell she wants on her story because at the end of the day, its HER story. shes allowed to be excited for free skincare. I know I'd be! she's allowed to post black and white photos of David. you complain when she doesn't mention David on her story, and then you find something to complain about when she does. so don't come on here with "I dont wish for them to be miserable" because you pray to god every day that David is in an unhealthy relationship with Georgia and that he's sleeping with Michael on the side.
also, stop calling him a gigolo. For everyone's sake.

My posts
Silent Hill 2 update: I HAVE FINISHED THE GAME OMG. I actually played the final boss battle pretty well (...for me), but honestly, I played the one before that so badly that I just confused the two Pyramid Heads to death. I’ll take it.
(Here’s my tag for my playthrough posts generally; here’s my final list of achievements. I am not telling you how many times I opened the map.)
What this means is that I’ll be able to start recording the full commentary on New Game+ next week. @idoherty451 will have his first one on Twitch next Wednesday, and I may be able to post my first video on Thursday or Friday. That is, under ideal conditions—there’s no reason I shouldn’t—but I’m always afraid of tempting fate and, like, causing the entire state of Alabama to sink into the sea.
The idea is that it’s actual video gameplay with voice commentary, not just my janky Voice Memo audio from the early days, but it’ll also come with a writeup/summary of what I’m discussing, sources, links, other videos I watched, and so on. I’m going to post my basic notes-to-self outlines on Patreon first, if you’d like to see what I’m planning on talking about before I sit down and restart the game.
Meanwhile, I figured out that horror is a safe rollercoaster you can get on, yes, but it’s also a rollercoaster you can get OFF. Except that I started half-dreaming about Pyramid Head.

So this next story is going to be a historical fiction whump. I have a section divider up as I think this is one of my longest stories yet. I have been wanting to write a history based whump for quite a while, but I was never able to think of something that would work.
I have been learning the Russian language and a dear friend of mine here on Tumblr has taught me so much of their Russian culture. I feel so enlightened on Russia. I would honestly love to visit.
One thing this friend has just taught me was The Siege of Leningrad. St. Petersburg sits where Leningrad sat. I had never been taught this, but did you know Nazi Germany tried to seize a Russian city during World War 2. I watched a video of the history as I wanted to know more about this part of history. I can say it was disturbing, but as a history buff, you have to take the good and the bad parts of World History.
The story below is historical fiction. I did use elements of what I learned to hopefully paint a picture to tell you about this part of history. You will see time traveling, lab rat Whumpee, Caretaker, Carewhumper, survivors guilt, environment whump, historical whump. Thats only the tip of the iceberg as well as I can't think of what else to tag this as.
Again it is long, but I really enjoyed writing this, and I really hope you enjoy reading.
Story warnings: mentions of an actual war, people doing what they cam to survive (graphic), swearing.
Please enjoy my first major attempt at historical whump. -MJ
Aleksandr typed in Leningrad into their computer.
"What does that mean, Aleksi?", Hannah cautiously glanced at the screen.
"Oh, it's what St. Petersburg use to be called", Aleksandr sighed, "back when I was a very young child."
"Like my age?", Hannah now looked at the computer bravely as they had seen they weren't bothering the older researcher.
"Well, younger, I was very young. You can see I've typed The Siege of Leningrad here", Aleksandr pointed, "this was a very important part of my countries history."
Hannah looked up curiously.
Aleksandr pulled the young lab rat onto his lap, "do you want to look at this with me? It is rather sad, but it will tell you a lot about my early years."
"Will I bother you?", Hannah looked up nervously, "I know not to bother Dr. Aleksi when he is busy."
"You won't bother me dear", Aleksandr laughed.
Hannah watched as the computer screen clicked to a photo. Hannah quickly covered their eyes.
"Sorry, yes.... that was a little graphic for you. Unfortunately that is what it looked like back then."
"Aleksi... was that a real person?", Hannah looked up nervously.
"Yes, they were real. That poor soul had scurvy. Unfortunately starvation led them to that horrible disease", Aleksandr clicked away quickly.
"Did they survive?", Hannah looked up.
"Unfortunately they did not", Aleksandr hugged the lab rat close, "maybe you shouldn't be shown this stuff. You're still very innocent."
"Please let me, Dr. Aleksi, please", Hannah pleaded.
"Okay, you can see, but if you get too uncomfortable we will stop", Aleksandr adjusted how Hannah sat, "here, выпей немного воды (have some water), your lips look chapped."
Hannah took the offered cup from the researcher and drank it quickly.
"So this started in September of 1941, during World War two. It was a troubling time for our world, but for a long time it didn't affect Russia not until that fateful day", Aleksandr paused to click to another picture, "I was just about to turn ten. My father had planned on coming home early that day to celebrate. He did come home early, and we tried to celebrate as much as we could. There was an uncomfortable feeling in the room. I overheard my parents talking about it. I was still too young to understand."
"There you are", someone yelled at the entrance to Aleksandr's door.
"I'm in trouble", Hannah whispered a sigh.
"Timothy, I am in the middle of something with Hannah", Aleksandr looked up at their partner.
"No, because I am in the middle of something with them. They snuck out of their restraints when I went to grab something", Timothy stormed to Hannah.
"Hannah is that true?", Aleksandr looked down at the lab rat.
"Yesh", Hannah whispered sadly.
"You little scamp", Aleksandr chuckled.
"Come on. You can come back to this later", Timothy grabbed Hannah's wrist and pulled her.
"Ow", Hannah complained sadly, "but Aleksi was telling me about his childhood."
"I can tell you more later. Do as Timothy says", Aleksandr turned and watched Hannah as they were dragged out of the room.
He turned to the next picture, which happened to be a picture of his family.
"You are so naughty", Timothy tightened the straps, "you know better than to escape during experiments."
Hannah whimpered, "I'm sorry."
"I guess that's what I get for leaving you unattend... wait, did you have water?", Timothy took a closer look.
"Yes, Aleksi gave me some while we were talking", Hannah frowned, "was that a no-no?"
"Yes that was a no-no", Timothy sighed, "great."
"How did the experiment go?", Aleksandr walked into the lab and saw Hannah was playing with some toys on the floor near Timothy's desk.
"It had to be rescheduled. They weren't supposed to have water", Timothy smiled weakly.
"Oh no, that was my fault. I apologize", Aleksandr frowned, "I just saw her dry lips and was concerned."
"I understand. You tend to keep an eye on hydration", Timothy sighed, "I can easily reschedule the test."
"When you grow up like I did... when water was scarce", Aleksandr side glanced Hannah, "I'm kind of glad you came and grabbed them. I don't think they were ready to learn about Leningrad."
Timothy nodded, "yes, unfortunately I wasn't ready either. I know what you are talking about, that's why I'm not mad. I'm just working on this idea for time travel right now."
"Oh, maybe you can go back in time and find out where I left my glasses", Aleksandr sighed.
Timothy pointed at their own forehead, "I found them."
Aleksandr reached up, and chuckled, "well, at least I won't lose my head, so they were never lost."
"Yes that would be bad if you lost your head", Timothy nodded, "what are your plans for tomorrow?"
"I was actually going to rest tomorrow. These eighties are hitting me hard", Aleksandr sighed.
"Of course, you can take as many days as you like. We will try to leave the lab standing while your gone", Timothy smiled, "right Hannah?"
"Yes sir", Hannah looked up.
"Very well, take care of them", Aleksandr turned.
"I will", Timothy grinned.
"Oh, I was talking to Hannah", Aleksandr smiled mischievously.
Hannah giggled.
The next day, Hannah frowned when they walked into the lab room.
"What's that?", Hannah pointed.
"That is a time machine prototype", Timothy sighed without looking up, "don't touch."
Hannah looked at it nervously, "do-does it work?"
"I don't know yet", Timothy looked up finally, "its a prototype, I stayed up when an idea hit me. That was what I came up with. It's supposed to connect to the computer. The idea is to search something and be able to go to the destination. We can go back in time or into the future. Hopefully we can also go to different places. I would love to take Aleksandr to St. Petersburg one more time before....", Timothy sighed.
"Before he retires from the lab", Hannah smiled.
"Yeah", Timothy choked out, "before... he retires."
"He will probably love retirement", Hannah grinned, "what does this d...."
"Don't touch it", Timothy had looked down, "Hannah?.... Hannah?"
Timothy looked up, the machine was glowing... Hannah was gone. Suddenly the machine glitched and turned off.
"Shit.... shit... shit", Timothy jumped, "no no no. Aleksandr is going to kill me if I lose another lab rat.... especially Hannah."
"Turn on... please turn on", Timothy pleaded, "shit... Aleksi is going to retire me if I don't fix this."
Timothy hurried to the computer, "please tell me someone searched a safe place recently. That would at least make me feel a little better about Hannah's predicament.
Timothy's breath caught when he read the screen.
"Siege of Leningrad"
"Oh no, oh no.... no no no", Timothy looked back at the machine, "I am dead, I am very much dead. Hannah is doomed... and I am dead."
Aleksandr sipped the last of their tea.
"Let's go see what they are up to. I said I would take today off. I never said I wouldn't check in", they set their cup aside, "maybe Hannah will have some free time and we can read together. Hopefully get her mind off of Leningrad."
Timothy panicked when they saw Aleksandr walk past and reach for the door.
"I'm about to die. I'm about to be murdered by an eighty year old Russian man", Timothy gulped, "and I deserve it."
"Hey Timothy, I was wondering if Hannah was busy. I'd like to read with them", Aleksandr looked around, "where is the scamp... oh... is that your time machine."
"Ymhmm", Timothy squeaked, "we have a problem."
"You look quite pale. Are you sick?", Aleksandr frowned.
"No, but uhm... I've lost Hannah", Timothy's voice caught.
"You what?", Aleksandr's frown deepened, "lost as in playing hide and seek, and you can't find them, I hope."
Timothy could only shake their head.
"Ты что, шутишь? (Are you fucking kidding me?)", Caretaker yelled.
"It was an accident. I told them not to touch it. They asked what something did, then they disappeared. The machine glitched and turned off.... it won't turn back on", Timothy gulped, "I've tried everything.. honest."
"Where the heck did they end up?", Aleksandr glared.
Timothy's hands shook as they pointed at the screen.
Aleksandr paled, "get them back... get them back now."
"I can't.... it won't turn on... I've been trying all morning", Timothy pleaded, "I told them not to touch."
"This is Hannah we are talking about. You know as well as I do that they have curious hands", Aleksandr hurried to the desk, "come on, we need to get them back. You just signed their death certificate."
Hannah fearfully hid in an alley. Explosions were happening everywhere. Screaming, yelling, crying.
Hannah blinked away tears, "where am I?"
Another explosion happened in the building sitting in front of them.
Hannah panicked and ran out of the alley and into the streets. Many others were also running.
Hannah quickly looked back. In their distracted haste, they tripped and fell to the ground.
Hannah's eyes were filled with dirt and ash. They tried to wipe it away. They could finally see a fuzzy image of what they tripped over.
Hannah covered their mouth to muffle a scream. A dead man reached out to them. Some parts of the corpse seemed to be butchered away. They had been dead for a day or so, Hannah guessed.
Hannah quickly crawled away and got up and ran.
Everywhere they ran seemed to bring new images of suffering. Children crying next to corpses. People stealing food and running away. Women with cuts down their arms... hugging their babies in front of charred buildings.
Hannah finally found another place to hide.
"It's so cold here", she shivered, "I wonder where I am. I hope wherever this is, Dr. Timothy can find me. I hope it's soon."
People ran past.
"That almost sounds like words Aleksi has said in the lab", Hannah listened, "am I-I in Russia?", she looked around, "I-I wonder if this is what Aleksi was showing me yesterday. I really wish I could have learned a little more. I don't even remember what this was called."
Hannah looked down, "I'm not going to make it long. It's freezing, and if I'm where I think I am, I'm going to freeze to death. I stick out, obviously. I'm not dressed for the period. It's better to hide out here and hope Aleksi and Dr. Timothy will get me. I hope that's soon."
That night Hannah huddled next to a smoldering building for warmth. People were still out. It seemed some were dragging dead bodies to somewhere. Some where crying in front of the fallen buildings that had been bombed earlier. Others were scavenging for anything they could find to eat.
"I-is this what Aleksi grew up in, and he said he was ten during this time period", Hannah felt her stomach rumble, "I haven't eaten today either. But I'll be okay."
Days passed without signs of Aleksi and Dr. Timothy.
Hannah was witness to horror after horror.
"I want to go home", Hannah cried that night as they huddled next to another building that had been bombed. They had watched several bodies get pulled from the rubble only a few hours ago.
"I'm cold.... it's so cold", Hannah pulled a torn cloth they had found tighter around them, "I'm hungry... I can't find food."
Hannah had tried to scavenge some food, but they needed a card to actually get something from any stores.
"Of course.... wars mean rations. I don't have a ration card... I'm not from this time. I don't look like I'm from this time."
Hannah yawned, "I'm tired. I can't sleep. If I sleep... I'll freeze to death", they licked their lips, "Aleksi would be forcing me to drink water right now. Your lips are chapped, he'd tell me. I don't know where to get water... I don't even know if I can safely drink it. I'm in the danger zone tomorrow. I've gone to long without water. Dr. Timothy says three days is the max. I need to be careful."
Hannah limped through the shadows. They tried to stay out of the way of the inhabitants. Nobody seemed to notice them. Or at least they ignored Hannah. Everyone seemed to ignore each other. It was survival of the fittest here. You took care of yours, and that was it."
Hannah fell to the side, they stumbled a few steps and fell to their knees.
"My body is not doing good. I don't know how these people are surviving like this. I've been here for at least four days now, they have been living this since... uh, whenever Aleksi said this started."
Hannah huddled beside a building.
"Алекса́ндр (Aleksandr)", a woman called as a young child climbed through some rubble.
"Мама, смотри (mama, look)", the child pointed at Hannah.
The woman pulled on the child's arm and led them away from the strange person.
Hannah sighed, "that sounded like she said Aleksandr. I really hope they come and get me. They have a bad habit of losing lab rats, but Aleksi has warned about messing with time travel."
Hannah buried her face into her arms, "they wouldn't leave me... right?"
"Hannah?"
She thought she heard a familiar voice call for her.
"I think the dehydration is getting to me", Hannah blinked tiredly, "or the lack of sleep. That sounds like Aleksi."
"Hannah?", the voice got closer.
"Aleksi?", Hannah peaked out.
An old man limped toward her. Cane in hand.
"Aleksi!!", Hannah cried as she ran out of her hiding spot towards him.
"Oh thank goodness", Aleksandr sighed in relief as he hugged her tight, "I'm so glad you're okay. Here we need to get home. You're in desperate need of medical attention."
Hannah cried, "I'm so happy to see you."
"I'm happy to see you as well. Come along... our presence has already messed with this part of history", Aleksandr turned.
"How did you find me?", Hannah quickly followed.
"My past self saw you, that child was me. I was able to remember you", Aleksandr frowned, "we shouldn't be messing with history like this. Close your eyes."
A bright light shown.
"You may open your eyes now", Aleksandr instructed.
Hannah opened their eyes and looked around.
"Oh thank heavens", a relieved voice came from behind.
"Dr. Timothy?", Hannah turned.
"You're home", Timothy almost sounded as though they were promising themself that and not Hannah.
"Medical attention first. We will talk after that. Food, IV, and fluids. Bath", Aleksandr ordered as they limped out of the room.
"I-is he mad?", Hannah whimpered as Timothy picked them up.
"He's mad at me for the incident, and I'm sure he was not happy to see his city like that. It brings back bad memories", Timothy explained, "I would have went in after you, but he said he would be able to find you better."
Hannah rested in a hospital bed. They had an IV of fluid in one arm. Their other arm had an IV that was pumping in nutrients. A third IV was also placed in their wrist to give them medicine for any illnesses they could have contracted while in Leningrad.
Hannah was now wrapped in several blankets. Dr. Timothy fed them one of their favorite meals and even dessert.
Hannah's eyes were growing heavy when Aleksandr walked into the room.
"Aleksi", Whumpee's eyes opened widely, "are you okay?"
"I was about to ask you the same question", Aleksandr sat down, "I read over the charts and Timothy did good to get you taken care of."
Aleksandr watched as Hannah looked down.
"I'm afraid you saw more than what I wanted you to see. It was even harder I could imagine as you couldn't understand what was being said around you. I didn't want you to know about everything, but it would have been better that I had told you why Leningrad was under siege."
Aleksandr explained the history to Hannah as they waited for the medicine to finish.
"I saw so many horrific things. I tripped over a corpse. I-I-I saw a horse get butchered alive, and other animals. People were just as scary", Hannah looked at Aleksandr sadly, "why did that happen?"
"It's hard to say. Power makes people hungry. They want more and more. No matter how much they get.... it's never enough", Aleksandr sighed, "I'm glad we got you back. Remember this all happened for 900 days."
"I'm so glad you survived it", Hannah smiled, "I wouldn't have been able to be with you had you not."
"Well, I had a good mother who took care of me", Aleksandr smiled.
"That woman... the one who pulled you away... she had cuts on her arms. I had seen them on others. May I ask what those were from?", Hannah looked at Aleksandr with curious eyes.
"No, as for right now... you have seen enough", Aleksandr smiled weakly, "you need to sleep. Your eye lids are very dark."
"Wi-will you sit with me.... just for a little while?", Hannah frowned, "I don't want to be alone."
"I will sit with you until you fall asleep. How does that sound?", Aleksandr leaned up and started to pet Hannah's head to comfort her. He hummed a song his mom would sing every night, whether in the bomb shelter or elsewhere."
Hannah's eyelids were no match. They were asleep in minutes.
Aleksandr sighed as they sat back. Flashbacks were haunting him since a few days ago. Now seeing it all in person again.
Memories of his mom cutting her arm open and forcing Aleksandr to drink the blood. It was the only thing she could think to do to keep her starving child alive.
She had gotten sick from the diseases carried by the overpopulation of rats.
Aleksandr remembered sitting next to his mother's corpse all day at the age of eleven. Waiting for his father to come home from the factory. His father never returned. A bomb had been dropped on the factory that morning.
Aleksandr wiped a tear, "I'm haunted by these memories", Aleksandr whispered, "then I see my mom walking again."
Aleksandr turned to Hannah and watched them as their chest gently rose and fell.
"I'm sorry you were witness to that", Aleksandr sighed, "we did what we had to do to survive back then."
"Yes you did", a voice came from behind, "sorry, I was checking on Whumpee and heard you talking. I thought maybe you were talking to her, I didn't want to disturb you. Any survivors of wars should be commemorated. There should never be any shame."
"More like survivors guilt. Why couldn't my family have survived. My best friend. Everyone I loved", Aleksandr's whispers were raspy. My momma was so beautiful. She didn't deserve that."
"Your mom did what she knew she needed to do to keep you safe", Timothy patted Aleksandr on the shoulder, "she would be happy to know how long you've lived because of her efforts, your father also. You lived in spite of what happened. I am so honored to work with you. I always have been honored to work with you."
Aleksandr smiled weakly, "we should let this one sleep. Hannah has had a long few days. She will need a lot of rest."
"Yes all test have been postponed until you say", Timothy nodded, "that's another thing. Without you I would have never been able to fix the time machine, and I wouldn't have found her."
"She wouldn't have ended up there if my Leningrad file hadn't been pulled up to begin with", Aleksandr stood.
"Still, just like your parents did their best with you and did what they could to keep you alive. You did your best for Hannah. We got her back to safety", Timothy smiled, "maybe with your help, we can make the machine travel. We can zap into different places to visit. You can visit St. Petersburg and Moscow if you like. The possibilities are endless."
"I don't know if I want anything else to do with that. Hannah is absolutely not allowed anywhere near that thing either", Aleksandr frowned, "she's had enough time traveling for one lifetime."
Timothy nodded, "alright, let's get some sleep. We have both been working nonstop. I need my beauty sleep, and you are way past those days to be missing sleep."
Aleksandr chuckled, "I may sit here for a little longer. In case she need something", Aleksandr smiled at Hannah.
"Alright Aleksi, get some rest though, but I understand", Timothy yawned, "see you in a little while."
"Yes, I'll see you", Aleksandr reached up and adjusted one of the blankets.
They hummed the song their mom had sang to them so many times.
Whumpee sighed in peace.
"Congratulations, you survived the siege of Leningrad, my dear. Even if it was a few days, you did something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy", Aleksandr whispered as they brushed Whumpee's freshly cleaned hair away from their face, "I'm very proud of you."
Taglist. As always please let me know if you want to be added or taken off of the list. It's not a problem at all.

Happy Valentine's Day from Fives! Read messages below the cut
To: @queen-of-mandalore
Thank you so much for being my friend and someone to bounce fic ideas off of. You’re such a great writer and I can’t wait to see how your fic progresses. Happy Valentine’s Day, my friend!
From: Misty 💙 ( @tealmisthams )
To: @snarkyfina
I just wanted to say thank you so much for your support of my writing and for joining me in my love of Five-soka. 💙🧡 Happy Valentine’s Day, my friend!
From: Misty 💙 ( @tealmisthams )
(Note from Lupe: I'm sorry for adding the '-' in 'Five-soka', but I didn't want to get this post filtered!)
To: @tealmisthams
Misty!
Please accept some Fives as a token of my gratitude for your lovely friendship <3 I'm at a bit of a loss for words (ironic, given my messages are usually paragraphs long) to express how truly thankful I am for our wonderful chats, character analyses, Fives and Ahsoka fangirling, Severance theories, and for all the writing support. You are an incredibly talented writer and truly have a gift for balancing angst with really sweet/tender moments. You always manage to do it just right and I am always inspired by what you create and how dedicated you are to working on your writing while balancing everything else in your life. TEACH ME YOUR WAYS!
Thank you for all the wonderful works you've created for the fandom and for your friendship. I'm always excited to get a notification from you.
Sending you much love (and to Sable/Mabel),
Mimi (and Fives, who inserts a few winking emojis here)
From: @aknightreaderr

To: @tealmisthams
I don't know you very well but you made the mistake of being nice to me (tagging me in a tag game) and you ain't getting rid of me. You're my beloved mutual now.
From: Kote ( @kotemf )
To: @aknightreaderr
To my dearest editor,
First of all, I know you might be disappointed in receiving a Valentine's message from me instead of from a certain sensitive (sensible? sensory? sensational? serious?) sergeant, but he was unavailable. Believe me, I tried, but a certain.. biting child got in the way, so I couldn't reach him. So I get an A for effort and you get a F for Fives!
Jokes aside (although I know Hunter is no joke to you), I'd like to thank you for your service and your friendship (and your patience). I know I can be a real handful, and so do Echo and Rex and Fox and probably a few (million) more. But after everything I put you through (fame included, of course), you're still sticking with me. And I really admire that about you.
Just know you are loved and appreciated around here. Rex just said how lucky I am with you as my editor, so I called him Captain Obvious.
Wishing you lots of love (Echo just added: wish her lots of love 😏)!
From: Fives
…
To: @aknightreaderr
Hi! I really love your blog. Your writing is incredible and it always makes me laugh. Also Ask Fives is a brilliant idea and you write it so, so well! I really admire your ability to write crack.
You were also the first person on Tumblr to tag me for a writing challenge or a tag game, I don't really remember what it was anymore but thanks. It meant a lot. It's an honor to be able to call you a mutual.
From: Kote ( @kotemf )
To: @lonewolflupe
Lupe, bestie!
It’s ya boy Fives. You really thought that you could hide behind this event and share the love and not receive any back? YOU ARE WRONG!
How do I love LoneWolfLupe? Let me count the ways. Actually, I won’t count the ways because that would take all of eternity and it’s not that I don’t have time for that, but I think I might lose my voice (RIP).
Lupe, there is no one quite like you - equal parts kindness, chaotic (which makes me shed a tear bc you get the Domino Twin vibes), creative (a writer AND an artist? The galaxy is shaking in its boots), and encouraging. Your selfless nature could melt the coldest heart (maybe I should get you to talk to Rex when he won’t let us go to 79s because we’re ‘a handful.’ I know you could sweet talk him out of it. And also because if you don’t come with us, then where is the party?)
Always keep your head raised high and take life a day at a time. You are more than capable of achieving anything you can dream on the timeline that suits YOU (Echo said that was cringe life advice but please know I speak from the heart).
But truly Lupe, I’ve never met anyone so generous and supportive as you. Thanks for all you do for us clones (and the earthlings). We always have your back! *insert lots of winks here and a hug and also Tup says hi*
Happy Valentines Day 💙
LIVE LAUGH LONEWOLFLUPE,
Fives
p.s. I wrote you a poem which is from me and Echo but he didn't write it
From: Fives
Roses are red
The 501st is blue
LoneWolfLupe
Oh how I love you!
(Note from Lupe: shedding a tear again as I re-read this whilst preparing this post. I appreciate you so much, thank you for this message <3)
...
To: @lonewolflupe
your positivity and passion is radiant! you uplift and spread love to so many. for you to make events (like this one) is so sweet
every interaction i've had with you has been nothing short of lovely and i hope so many more can feel it too <3
From: @littletroggo
(Note from Lupe: Thank you so much for your kind message, I appreciate it so much! <3)

Do you guys ever think about how crazy it must feel to be the girl who started 123 let’s go bitch??? Like she just said something funny at a concert once and posted it online, and now she’s started a fandom tradition that millions of people participate in across the world, and even 5 years later we all still scream it at every show and Taylor quotes it on social media??? THAT’S a real fucking legacy to leave
#Its also crazy to reflect on now because I remember seeing her original video and I remember watching as the tradition slowly caught on#and I remember everyone freaked out the first time Taylor ever counted with us on her fingers#and the fact that we’ve been through a whole pandemic and went without a tour for 5 years#but somehow 123 lgb survived#incredible#also I follow her on tumblr but can’t remember her URL so if anyone knows her URL let me know and I’ll tag her or something!#jemma rambles#Taylor Swift#1 2 3 let’s go bitch#eras tour#swifties

I finished 猎罪图鉴2 and I think at least 10% of shen yi's problems could be solved by not living in a concrete dungeon, so I’m using my art powers to home-ify his house (see tags for more rambling)

I'm going to be so real I do not understand tim & steph shippers who feel that Steph dating Tim again would save her character. You can make an argument that giving Tim a more compelling love interest would be beneficial for him! And you can at least make an argument that the fujo mischaracterization of Steph would stop. However she'd still, inevitably, be treated as a prop character/extension for someone more popular 😭 it also wouldn't make her appear in more books! Tim doesn't have many frequent appearances at the moment either! You can just say you like the couple and want them back together without acting like you have some kind of moral stance
#ramblings of a lunatic#dc comics#dc#NOT character tagging. for reasons j feel are obvious#honestly i shouldn't even be posting this here I'm responding more to twitter sentiments but they'd cook me on there if i posted this#anyway sometimes i think ppl (again the twt ppl specifically. tumblr timsteph fans mostly normal) are doing that thing-#-where you get so deep into a hyper online discourse cycle that you end up reproducing mainstream sentiments from scratch#''let men date women!'' this is what some of you sound like when talking about timsteph to me /j#there's a lot to critique about how Tim's been written since canonizing his bisexuality!#personally I've noticed (and seen other ppl notice to) that some writers seem unaware that tim is bi#not in the sense of making him straight but in the sense that they seem to think he's gay bc none of his relationships w women-#-are acknowledged as having been. relationships#or if they are there's an idea that tim was using them to 'hide from his true self' or something#genuinely problematic sentiment!#i also don't really find the ''he should cheat on bernard!'' jokes funny#like lets bffr Tim's cheating was NEVER acknowledged as cheating he was seen as a good all-american boy#so like. bringing that trait back and acknowledging it as cheating ONLY after he comes out as bi? i get it- ironic homophobia but-#-i really don't like it!#anyway. close your eyes and focus on the daminika like the rest of us /j#or the stephcass jason dancing image which will live in my head and heart forever despite arguably being ooc as well <3#bc it's funny <3 and at least I'm self aware <3#also much MUCH more importantly DC POWER SPECIAL EXTREMELY GOOD GO READ IT FOR DUKE#and jace but i haven't read future state yet bc i tried and got. extremely bored 😞 sorry jace you seem really cool#but he's great in the story dynamjc duo with duke. loved it love them want more#special was sold out at my comic shop tho so i couldn't grab a copy. might hit the other shop in town today to see#BOOST THE NUMBERS WE NEED A POWER COMPANY ONGOING GANG#anyway yeah. tim & steph thoughts. you can just say you like them you don't have to do all that

im gonna start posting fanfic recs btw whenever i find good ones. both here and my (awfully barren) 18+ account. because there are so many good fics out there with so few hits and fewer kudos and sometimes no comments period and it SUCKS because i REALLY LIKE THEM A LOT.. and i hope that by linking them here and yelling at everyone to COMMENT DAMMIT they might actually do it
seriously though any comment means a lot. most people who read a fic don’t even give a kudos. even if the fic wasn’t top tier, if you didn’t dislike it, hand over some kudos!! and if you liked it, comment!!!! even if the comment is one singular heart emoji it will be appreciated. if the comment just says “great fic!” the author will be happy. your comment doesn’t have to be this long winded gushing or analysis.
so many authors quit writing or lose motivation because the comments are few and far in between or just sometimes nonexistent. trust me when i say authors don’t care about how long or cool or smart sounding your comment is i promise!!!
i hope that mmmaybe recommending fics and telling people to comment might help fics i really like get more support maybe. and i, points at you reading this, hope that you will listen!!!at least a little….at least sum kudos….
#if u have the ability to reply to my reblog saying how much you loved the fic i recommended comment on the fic itself so the author can see!#especially since the rise of ai writing and seeing ai fics out there can be disheartening#make sure you let your writers know you appreciate them#you never know they might one day write a sequel bc your comment touched them#or might get the motivation to make more works.#(but don’t just comment bc you expect something out of it btw. sometimes the author might be too intimidated to reply ive seen that before)#im a huge yapper. if you can’t tell. lmfao.#and i mostly comment on guest. like 99% of the time because the fics are either really embarrassing#or i get nervous about them knowing me/finding my tumblr and thinking im cringw#bc i admire authors so much. and I get that nervousness! given I experience it!!! but guest mode EXISTS!!! most work allows you to comment#on guest mode!! the author CANT see the email you use for it!!! the only reason they even ask is to give you notifs if theres a reply to it!#a comment is still a comment even if on guest or an alt or your main#even if the fic is embarrassing shameful depraved smut you can log out and comment on guest. even if it’s embarrassing#because the author still worked HARD. it’s so hard to write. people don’t give enough credit to fic authors who do it for free#i had an account (now super abandoned) that had over 400k words. and that didn’t include wips#i reallg do struggle to write because i took a break for so long!!! i can write but not nearly as much as I used to!!! and it sucks!!!#support your authors guys. 1k words is an hour for the first draft at MINIMUM and another hour for revision and editing. and people get#pissy if a fic chapter is less than 3-4k words for some reason. that’s 6-8 hours of work at MINIMUM. likely so much more because there’s#also plotting and brainstorming and So. Much. Editing. stressing out over words and sentence structure. it takes so much time out of your#day. the only oneshot i have posted on this account is 2460 words. and it took me SEVEN HOURS#seven hours!!!! that’s a lot!!!! and for authors that have school or demanding jobs that kind of time is hard to come by!!!!!#and I hope i have convinced at least one of you to listen and go okay you know what. i will. because even if it’s a silly comment it’s loved#tldr support your local fanfic authors of you will be so stabbed. by me#fanfiction#fanfic#archive of our own#ao3#comment on fics#wick fic recs#that’s the rec tag btw. wow custom tags AGAIN i know. im doing what i thought i never would

911, a confession
Let me start by saying that I don't really know what I'm doing here, so bear with me. If I actually go through with posting this, and you find yourself tagged and wondering who I am and why, or even if you happen upon it in the tags, I hope you take a minute to read this.
You don't know me, but you've been my community for a while now. I've checked your blogs daily for years, I've read your posts and loved your art and sent you countless anonymous asks to pick your brains- never hate though, because I'm not a Freak.
What I am, however, is a lonely lesbian with depression and (newly diagnosed) OCD, who has always needed some hyperfixation media/fandom to find life bearable. For some ~fun context, I was Raised by the glee fandom, I will die on the hill that watching queer as folk when I was 14 and discovering its fans 10+ years after airing made me who I am, I've got the most bizarrely timed stint in the 1D fandom under my belt, and I find nothing in the world more interesting and also affirming than Queer Reading (verb) media- to the extent that I earned an English degree and wrote a thesis specifically about it.
I haven't posted on here in 1.5 years, since I fell out of my previous fandom (apologies to anyone from said fandom who still happens to follow me and is seeing this, feel free to move along.) But I've been on this app every day since, because of 911.
(starting the read more here to spare you- again especially if you are tagged, I know you're probably feeling miserable rn but I do hope the entirety of this love letter reaches you)
I started "watching" mid season 5- by which I mean I was in a deep depressive state after disconnecting with previous media hyperfixation and, when I happened upon 911 trending while in need of distraction, I quickly fell down a rabbit hole. Tale as old as time, tumblr dot com convinces you that you need to tune into *insert media here* bc its fun and there are gay people! I caught myself up through all the big blogs and by the time May Day was airing I felt like I had a decent grasp on all the lore, all the fandom drama, all the places the writers were "definitely, so brilliantly" going to be taking the show that we had to look forward to, all without ever having actually seen an episode of the show (before you boo me, yes I've watched it by now, even season 1)
But I think it is important, and also a little messed up, that I fell in love with 911 through YOU, through the fans. Obviously watching the show initially through the lens of fan reactions first and not whats actually happening on screen can have some... interesting results. We've heard it all before, with the people who started watching specifically for Buddie around season 4/5 because they saw The Will and by the time they caught themselves up and watched the end of season 6 they wanted their refunds.
Here is where I want to make a clarification- the reason I got so interested, why I started coming back every day to check in on tags and certain favorite blogs I didn't even follow bc I was denying the want to become fully Involved, was because I fell in love with Evan Buckley. I won't lie, it was Buddie that caught my attention first- of course, thats what everyone here was talking about- and as much as I quickly started discover the value of the show outside of them (Henren my absolute Beloveds!!!!! Captain Dad Bobby Nash you are so special to ME. Chimney man of all time i can keep going) none of it was enough initially to bite the bullet and catch up on 5 seasons worth of a show I also knew would have elements I WASNT interested in (Copaganda and Taylor Kelly I am looking at you.)
But then I started really getting into fan's readings of Buck *insert footage of me learning the Buck Begins of it all for the first time* as a character separate from Eddie (as much as people were capable of anyway, and I will say some of yall continue to be absolutely atrocious at it) and I knew I was done for. Buck, this character so full of goodness, and his need to be Found but to also Find his own family and purpose and sense of self, for whom the show's thesis statement concerns the act of working to Make the kind of Love you want to have in this world, even if you were raised without a blueprint for it- I'm sorry but what else were me and my gay ass queer reading inclined hyperfixated brain to do other than take Evan Buckley into the folds and never let him go?
I love Buck. I was convinced by the time the s5 finale was airing before I had actually watched the show that Buck had to be bi. Even if they never did a thing with it you couldn't convince me otherwise and I was also confident that Oliver was portraying him with a similar mindset. I never wavered in that interpretation, even when the utter disappointment of the s6 finale and the failure to do anything truly meaningful character development wise through the lightning strike-Natalia speed run hit, and certainly not as I got fully caught up actually watching the show outside of tumblr live reactions during episode airings. I'll admit I was pretty ready to Check Out after the end of season 6, to the point where I hardly checked in on fandom at all going into 7 until the rumblings of possible canon Bi Buck reached me and I doubled back like "hold on, for real this time?" But when I say Check Out, I mean I was ready to walk away from the hyperfixation with a joint lack of satisfaction with canon & firm conviction that Buck was queer.
Things with Eddie are a lil different- and I want to try and keep this bit brief bc this is ultimately a post about Buck and Bucktommy and I have no interest in unsettling those of you who may have a queer reading connection to Eddie as real as the one I feel for Buck, but unfortunately this conversation cannot exist separately from the Eddie/Buddie of it all- I personally don't think Eddie is queer. I don't really think I ever did, even when I was in the thick of it with falling for Buddie. I know me saying this would cause certain audience to pelt me with accusations of fetishizing Buck or treating Eddie as nothing more than a vehicle for Queer Buck via Buddie- false! I actually think Eddie is an incredibly fascinating character, a deeply compelling representation of grief and fatherhood and masculinity, and also a hilariously weird lil bitch guy. I just don't feel like- especially having removed fanon glasses while actually starting to watch the show, and taking the time to acknowledge that the things about Buddie that appealed to me on a romantic level (this is NOT about their friendship which i stand by being beautiful and important) all boiled down elements I was reading within and onto BUCK specifically, not Eddie. Perhaps an impossible concept for some, the idea that Bi Buck could feel so real and apparent to me primarily divorced from the idea that Eddie had to be queer as well, but I won't bore you with my explanations for it, though I suspect the people tagged and still reading by this point know exactly what I am talking about.
All of this potentially obnoxious prologue to say, I've spent the last however many months falling in love with canon Bi Buck *insert footage of me speed running back into my daily fandom involvement/blog check ins the moment I knew Buck kissed a man*, with Bucktommy, and with Bucktommy fans.
For a long while there I had resigned myself to an odd, though perhaps not as unique as I thought, reality of loving and fully believing in Queer Buck, not necessarily feeling the same about Eddie or Buddie, but also in full agreement with many that already 6 seasons in with literally nothing else having remotely worked, Buddie would be the only satisfying conclusion for Buck's love story. This is again not exactly how I felt about Eddie- but a big part of that for me is that I don't think Eddie's primarily story in 911 is a love story. He's the vessel for telling other important, beautiful stories about fatherhood and forgiveness and that is OKAY bc not every characters story is a love story!!! Evan Buckley's is though (Despite some very weird and confusing things mr stark has just said about his character that actively contradict what hes previously said and what audiences have been looking at and for this entire time, but I digress)
But then! By whatever happy accident we want to call it 911 had Tommy Kinard fall back into its lap as the solution to what felt like the impossible: They found the ONE way they could introduce a non Eddie Diaz love interest for Buck that COULD be satisfying for Bucks story. Someone with connections to the 118 and the shows history and potential for further development within main storylines as his job directly pertains to their plots. Someone with such compelling connections for interweaving these two characters that it got us- including the showrunner- talking about the Red String of Fate. That it got some of the beloved tumblr pals I had been watching for years, who NEVER would have believed they'd ever root for a Buck endgame that wasnt Buddie doing exactly that, and with joy, love, and conviction. Again I'll ask, what else were me and my Buck loving brain to do but take Bucktommy into the folds and never let go? (apparently I hadn't considered that there was apparently horrifying alternative- more on that next!)
As you all damn well know, falling in love with Bucktommy has not come without its trails. I have never seen things in fandom as vile as the things I've seen go down here. And as I mentioned before, I've been IN IT with yall for a while, even if you didnt know it. I was here, lurking, and I know this fandom has had its highlight reels of racism and misogyny and harassment (despite certain factions current batshit consensus that things were "never bad" before *gasp* a couple of people, some over the ancient age *double gasp* of 30 heard about bucktommy through tumblr the same damn way the 90% of you who havent been watching since season 1 heard about buddie and decided to invest)
What happened tonight made me cry, for about 40 minutes straight. And yeah, its been a devastating week for us all for a lot of reasons. On top of the ~national dread (I'm a lesbian in the US btw) today was my 7th out of 9 straight days of open to close shifts in a demanding retail/management position, and I have a head cold so maybe this was just a Breaking Point after a whole lotta shit.
But also, maybe, it was really fucking shitty to watch this play out. I've already seen countless people say it better than I could. Yeah, its a tv show. It's a fictional ship. But its also escapism, a spot of joy many of us were extra dependent on this week. It was something GOOD, queer representation and a love story on national tv days after a horrifying reality set in for queer people, and we are allowed to acknowledge how much losing that sucks just on a general level for a second...
Second over, now lets talk not on the general level. Lets talk about how I've watched real human beings get harassed, sent death threats, be told they are faking cancer and failing to properly grieve dead loved ones, I've watched deeply homphobic language be adopted and incorporated into everyday use despite constant correction and pleas from queer men to knock it the hell off, I've watched homophia as a whole run rampant and unchecked by big blogs, with some biphobia to boot, I've seen some images of horrific anti gay violence and historical trauma invoked as a way to make fun of others, I've seen lesbianism slandered and proffered as an excuse for such vile behavior in a disgusting erasure of the beautiful solidarity that has historically existed between gay men and lesbians in the face of homophobia, and yes, I've seen graphic descriptions of child rape via targeted fanfiction attacks.
Again, others have already said it better than I can: This isn't about Bucktommy. It's about the way that everyone who was Pulling for them as a couple, who DARED to *checks scribble on hand* enjoy a canon queer mlm couple featuring a character (or two) they've grown to care deeply for, has been subjected to all the above mentioned and more, and for...what. For. What.
In the name of a fanon couple that has not been legitimized by the writers in 7 years? of a fanon character interpretation of a canonically straight man (not just assumed straight, verbally assigned straight now on multiple occasions) that people cannot fathom perceiving this show, let alone liking these characters, without? For the version of this story that, if the writers REALLY wanted to happen could have happened so many fucking times by now- especially when the show was coming to what might have been its end in s6- and still hasn't? A version that has been dismissed multiple times by the writers cast crew and every other unfortunate individual who has been harassed repeatedly about it?
And I'm not here to say Buddie is inherently bad!!!! It brought me into this same as the rest of you. I don't even believe it would necessarily be a bad or wrong conclusion for either character or the show were it to eventually, finally happen!! But for the love of god, hear me when i say from the outsider pov of someone who has experience the show in the way I did first through fandom then stepping back to watch for real and now watching it with my mother who is a near Exact representation of the general audience of this show (experienced Procedural watcher, no idea about Buddie or fandom interpretation, had no sense of gay eddie to speak of, and is not shocked but pleasantly surprised by and endeared by Bi Buck) you are SEVERELY deluded if you think what happened tonight by breaking up Bucktommy "makes sense" to any audience outside of buddies who've been writing manifestos for years about how every single thing in this show is "carefully, intentionally, clearly" leading to Buddie canon. I swear to you the people at home do not fucking see it. The people at home saw Buck in a nice, developing relationship that finally seemed to be going somewhere real for him after discovering an important part of his identity late in life, and then they saw that relationship abruptly ended and Buck heartbroken, going to sit with his best, still straight, bud Eddie Diaz. The ONLY people this makes sense for are the people who I am afraid it seems may have legimately bullied this into happening.
And if that is the case? We are sooo far fucking past the point of no return here. There is no true satisfaction in a Buddie canon endgame here for anyone who's lived through the past half a year in this fandom unless you were a perpetrator of any of the horrific shit mentioned above. I mean that with my whole fucking chest. If, and i do think it is a Big Fucking Fat if, Buddie does happen, and you find yourself no qualms happy and satisfied with it as your well earned endgame, I hope you know how rotted you are. And while I'm at it, I hope some way some how you come to see that this was not the carefully crafted beautifully developed loved story of all time you were gods bravest soldier in waiting for. Its just what left after years of meandering storytelling and cyclical character "development" with a bow slapped on top at the last moment because the gift giver was afraid you might kill them if they presented less.
Anyway. I said a million words ago that this was a love letter, and I do mean that. As much as its also been an mental health exercise for me to write this all out. So,
@kinardbuckleys @bucksboobs @kirkaut @tevankinkley @userautumn @sunglassesmish @tommyscurls @ohithankyou @buckxtommy @princessfbi @bigfootsmom @firewasabeast
(And so many other people I'm surely forgetting, and the few artists and writters on other platforms I dared to venture to- maybe never opening twitter again after this xoxo)
Thank you. You don't know me, I never quite got over the anxiety of trying to re-enter a fandom space after a time away, or maybe some of the imposter syndrome or embarrassment I felt accidentally falling in love with this show and Buck by just watching you all talk about him before anything else. But for the last few months, some of you years, you've been my community, my escape. I've loved watching your brains and your hearts work to discuss and create, even amidst the absolute shittiest fandom behavior Ive ever seen. And I am as grateful for getting to experience it from a far as I am devastated at the thought of losing it, of not individually typing in all your blog names (I was too anxious to even FOLLOW you guys truly rip) to see what new content or spec or art or love you had to share about Buck / Bucktommy every day.
In another life- one where idk perhaps people were kinder or showrunners weren't bullied and actors weren't dropped last minute after months of torment and a satisfying canon queer love story for a character who genuinely needs it could just Be in peace- I would have loved to one day put on my big girl pants (aka saved Buck url) joined the fandom for real. To have directly talked to any of you in a way that wasnt... this.
I would have loved to love Bucktommy with you.
#if any of you actually read this i am kissing you directly on the forehead#and if you didnt I am wishing you find some escapist joy outside all this#bucktommy#911 abc#911 spoilers#buddie#evan buckley#yes i am tagging all of it lmao I have SPARED a lot of you by never joining this fandom and saying the shit ive wanted to say so youll deal#with this one time and i honestly hope it reaches outside who its really intended for#tommy kinard#tevan#please let a buddie read it and get pissy see if i care#maybe the last time i used tumblr too since i don't ever want to go through this again lol

I inked some of my sketchbook and the world didn't explode so yeah 👍 art dump art dump
is it obvious I just reached skypia arc? 😭
also, if you want to get a scale of the amount of improvement i've had in drawing abs, i've enclosed some old art from a few years ago under the read more 😌i think its pretty impressive
what a looker 😍 jawline that could cut diamonds
#my art#one piece#enel#enel one piece#dracule mihawk#nico robin#black leg sanji#one piece fanart#artists on tumblr#traditional art#art dump#i really thought i was going to put the pen to the sketches and the paper was going to disintegrate in front of me#so i took backup pictures of the sketches i liked in case they were ruined beyond comprehension 🙂can you tell i dont ink sketches often#also that old art was undated because i used to not date my art. very annoying for present me#i'm just going to peg it at somewhere at or before 2022?#come on past me just date your art 😭#let me know if theres a tag i should add to this because of all the shirtlessness happening in case some people don't want to see that?#i'm not great with tumblr tags

concept: unromanced eleanor as drifter's romantic advisor and wingwoman. how successful she actually is at this depends on how serious she's feeling.

Top five moments in my personal rgg fandom experience will forever be the time i saw people become obsessed with that one extra from gaiden cause prior to release they thought it was mine
#snap chats#rggtwt can be messy but its also where the funny stuff happens#either that or its just very easy to avoid Everything on tumblr since i follow three people and i never go tag surfing djKjwsjak#LIKE PLEAAASSE I REMEMBER IT EVERY NOW AND THEN ITS SO FUCKING FUNNY#i love mine fan momence like the amount of cope. like guys please lets just pack it up hes not coming back#but dont pack it up it makes me giggle#i was thinking this because twitter loves reposting that fuckin Song Of Achilles quote yk the one fuckin#‘i could recognize him by’ etc etc that one and i say that cause i saw that used. SO MUCH about the gaiden extra#in retrospect like its just so funny … was the cope that serious we thought this random mate was mine#cant wait for september to see what rgg has in store so i can see if more Mines Still Alive Look theories get made#like please im just remembering and it was so serious how serious i saw people got bout this gaiden extra im talkin swappin pfps

little request for @bookcalanthedaily of her calanthe & ciri (+ an additional tiny comic), thank you for your patience! ✨
sketches + process shot underneath the cut!
#the flowercrown is supposed to be made out of feainnewedd flowers but i took a lot of artistic liberties with the colours dshfjh#although they seem to potentially be based off of African Violets; which do come in pink!#the witcher#the witcher books#(kind of?)#the witcher 3#ciri#cirilla fiona elen riannon#calanthe#queen calanthe#my art#i redrew this piece (& parts of it) so many times djkfsf also thank you to my bf for his patience with me while i was working on this LMAO#me: ah yes. a quick little sketch request; my brain: okay now what if we colour it through a method you're not used to#and also activate perfectionistic tendencies you weren't even aware of#me: sure! i don't see how this could go wrong :)#[cue a montage of multiple weeks passing by]#i had fun with it though!#will tumblr let this post appear in the tags? who knows! we'll see!#fanart
