#like dang theres some creativity there

[flufflecat]

oops i learned what pony town is and now i keep designing ponies

[delulluart]

you stole sirlsplayland recent painting and you now it or are you saying its a coincidence lol

hi anon,

on one hand i appreciate that you care (as i do too) about copyright, but on the other hand i beg all of you to take 2 seconds to learn how the platforms you use work.

because then you wouldve noticed that this is the date of my original post: 06.09.2023.

what you are referring to was yesterdays reblog. the reblog of my FOUR MONTHS OLD artwork.

Sirlsplayland (not gonna tag her and drag her into this drama unnecessarily) posted yesterday, 14.01.2024 evening (my time).

so please tell me how i stole anything? (and even IF it hadnt been a reblog, it wouldve been pretty impressive to make my painting in under an hour, dang am i a fast painter!)

ALSO, and this is very important: she didnt steal either, alright? Artists use reference pics all the time. 2? 3? years ago i got a screenshot from some smutty clip sent from a friend among a bunch of ref pics to choose from for a drawing and i saved the rest for later use (as artists do; you always think youll need /that one pic/ later, like a dad who keeps pieces of wood, screws and random chargers just in case - and then used it for this requested painting. she just had a similar screencap from the clip and had the same idea. its funny, it happens, theres no bad intent by anyone here. shes an amazing artist with a big ass portfolio of great artwork and i like her version of the same pic (and love to see how all of us find creative ways to fight the nipple police)

Im sorry if i come across a bit rude here, but there has been so much negativity going on and with a VERY simple check of the time stamp before accusing someone of something that serious, you could have avoided this drama. i DO appreciate that you confront people on possible theft, i really do, but please, please, check the time stamps.

tl;dr: nobody stole anything; artists use reference pics. we are all cool. the end.

I’m pretty sure it’s aimed at Twitter and people who literally @ the actors and the crew and producers etc., complaining, threatening to stop watching, and doing the utmost. Like some complaint is warranted , but theres a lot of people/accounts who literally have no shame and nag the people directly involved in the show. Idk Tim or his patterns with being showrunner but I do know that the day before the episode aired when everyone saw the few journalist who kind of reviewed the show say they cut out most the scene, and Kenneth’s interview, they went crazy. Not to mention spamming 911 ig comments… like I want buddie scenes as much as next person but the ep was bout madney.. I know You know that , I’m just speaking generally. I just wish everyone could refrain from running to the people part of the show with complaints especially when an episode hadn’t even aired yet lol. Dang this is long but last thing I’ll say is it was laughs I feel up here or with the few accounts I follow but it took a turn elsewhere so quick lol smh

I mean you’re right. I have always said don’t harass the actors/creatives. Keep your thoughts to your lil corner of the world. These are people doing a job. Thats it. Unfortunately, people don’t listen.

Idek if that is what prompted his lil outburst *shrug*

[cruisinmississippin]

Saw this interview where Shawn Mendes is yet again being questioned about his sexuality n he addresses it a diff way this time thats actually pretty insightful. Regardless of whether or not its sincere.

To me its insightful la.

As in im also reflecting n going dang that makes sense actually whatever he said

So basically he said tht him being accused of being gay is mostly due to the fact that hes always well groomed, soft spoken, n exhibits feminine body posture/body language like sitting cross legged. Which is uncommon for straight men, plus he's really good looking which fits certain stereotypes about gay men. I guess.

N he says that the driving factor behind those things are probably because growing up, nobody in his family (n especially his dad) ever really made fun of him for doing things like looking at the mirror too much, or anything thats not necessarily conforming to society's idea of masculinity. Which is-rare.

Idk, I mean I get what hes saying tho because I myself am deeply uncomfortable about being perceived as 'not ugly' even now. Which is why when anything that comes along with in vein, like getting massive attention for that or whatever is just hugely terrifying n comes across as FICTITIOUS because it makes me HYPER AWARE of myself.

N I realize now that a big part of that has to do with how my siblings have always treated this subject or idk atleast its always come down to how we treat eachother.

To put it simply, kids are mean. Theyre mean as hell lol. This is reflected in the type of language we used to call eachother like

"hey fckface!"

"Sh*tface"

"Ur adopted. Thats why u look different"

"Ur ugly"

"U have a face like a butt"

Etc...theres plenty more especially in Malay where its more colourful n creative to throw insults.

But yeah, all in all its interesting tht some ppl dont have to hide behind any guises of masculinity, femininity or any arbitrary rule of coolness like that.

Strange question, but- Do you think AHIT fandom has changed a lot?

DANG IT I HAD AN ENTIRE RANT WRITTEN OUT AND MY IPAD DIED I GOTTA REDO IT SOBS ANYWAY

yeah definitely! 2020 fandom was a lot different from 2022! Things where a lot more chill back then BUT it was a bit alienating to non subcon or snatcher fans because that’s basically all there was was dadtcher, so 22 has more of an upper hand with having more variety with characters and dynamics, but 22 also has its downsides for starters the drama seems more prevalent then before but I think that’s just due to the fact things have died down in recent it’s not as active as 20 was so the drama just seems like there’s more just because there’s not as much to drown it out with

I felt a lot better about AAU once I severed from the fanon interpretations, the very first version of the story had a severe case of fanon messing with my creativity and once I stopped paying attention to it it definitely helped with my writing feeling a lot freer to just do my own thing and not worry about other aus ideas or trends and just do my own stuff

another thing that changed a lot is ships! Disco train I remember was really popular in 20 but now you hardly hear about it, and in recent theres the rise in snatcher x self shipping which I think is cool! you wanna smooch the ghost? hell yeah brother you not bothering nobody you do you, even if some people think it’s cringe or whatever TRUST ME ITS 100% BETTER THEN OTHER SNATCHER SHIPS THAT COULD BE PROMINENT (x hat kid/adult or x Vanessa etc ) trust me 20 had A LOT of snatchnessa and romanticism of their relationship which was always just a huge yikes for me, so the self shippers are kinda doing a service in showing “hey you can ship snatcher with ocs you don’t gotta pair him with his literal abuser” and I’m very thankful for that, not that you CANT ship snatchnessa it’s just something you gotta be very carful with it’s one of those things that walks the thin vail between ok shipping and pro shipping same with selfcest it gets a pass but it heavily depends on context to know if it’s passes that veil to the proship side or not youknow? It’s just a big slippery slope that as someone who isn’t much of a shipper person I just sit back and watch lol I’m just sitting with my qpr flower crown and watch the madness that is Vanessa stans but yeah shipping rant over

basically 2020 fandom was more chill and welcoming but 2022 has more variety even if it’s smaller there’s more to choose from now then just the Subcon only content like before, both eras of the fandom have their flaws and pros and I do miss 2020 fandom a lot I am glad the fandom has matured a bit since that it’s been very fun to see the changes over time and I’m excited to see what the future holds as well ^^

[revenant-coining]

woah thats a lot of time :O but thats a cool theory !! im not good at math but if you were to put it into ratios im sure itll make more sense ooo jelly cubes sound good :O what kinds of foods do you eat here ?? pineapple sized grapes oh god those are big JFDLJLFK but ooo sounds good !! yeah thats fine if you cant remember !! ugh i wish it was like that on earth id love to go explore uncharted areas here :O i know the ocean is one of the most unexplored places but its not that easy to access sadly T__T /lh take the /j and make it /gen [/hj] ooo alright got it ahh i have so much information to document this is gonna be fun imma make a rentry >:] dang fates sounds so cool we love fate here !! i could never be that responsible DFJKLSJF /lh all i know about it minecraft ive never heard about terraria stardew valley or breathe of the wild but they sound fun !! what are they about ?? ohh so the chaotic energy is based on how you feel ?? like if you feel low on chaos would the chaos influx be low too ?? or would the chaos energy in general be low ?? ahh alright got it and ooo good theory !! id hope hasnt taken up that job sounds like she already has a lot to work with /lh yay !! :D ooo thats soo cool !! i love the balance of magic users :D yesss im glad were both thinking the same thing >B] ooo ill check out all of these games in my free time !! when im feeling more ghosty all i wanna do is stare at the ceiling on float around and turn invisible and become a spectator but experiencing things again in a new light is so much fun !! im already like that since im not cultured yet but yes soft things should be prioritized /hj woah im really glad heaven and hell isnt like what its percieved in this world it sounds so much fun being able to see different sceneries !! ooo what did the marble buildings look like :O yes lets goo i love the amount of free travel there is and good to know guardians could do that !! gonna ask the bodys parents whens the next time were going to a hotel so i can experience for myself B] ohh alright got it !! do you remember what their wings looked like ?? and yeah djklfjsd stairs are just so popular here considering transportation isnt as easy but so hell is mountainous and foresty and heaven is more city like right ?? ohh that makes sense !! yeah i can see how different attractions could look the same thats actually an interesting way to look at things mostly with others theres a lot of emotion that comes with those actions so thats where the difference comes from !! but hey im glad you seem okay with how you feel and interpret it !! :D - ramble anon

ok ratios: hell/heaven to my dimensions earth would be 1 month:1 week, my guess for this dimension's earth and hell is [some amount of years]:1 hour, or 1 hour:[some amount of years] (i am not good at ratios so i hope this helps somewhat)

in this dimension i eat fruit a lot, or salty snacks. I'm also a big soup fan. uncharted areas are sooo cool, i'd loved to explore the ocean if i wasn't scared of it /gen

yeah fate is very good at her job, and is very cool :D

terraria is sometimes described as '2D minecraft' but is has a lot more feature, items, enemies, etc. stardew valley is a 2D farming game with the ability to friend/date/marry npcs, like a farming simulator, mini dating sim, creativity elements, and resource gathering. breath of the wild is a 3D open world game where you can do lots of side quest, exploration, cooking and etc.

chaos being low causes me to feel low, not the other way around /nm and i meant sometimes i want to feel the extra chaos so i'd get closer to the source to feel it :]

the marbles buildings are similar to ancient greek architecture from this world! heaven's usually with smoother textures, and were very tall.

heaven beings usually had feathery wings, but they could come in any color, and were more like bird wings than angel wings. hell beings had more bat-like or dragon-like wings, scales or leathery. and yeah hell is mountainous and forest while heaven is a big city :]

I've spent a decent amount of time figuring out how i feel about romantic and platonic things, so I've been able to accept it really well :D

[faunusrights]

hey!! sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this-- but you seem to submit fiction writing pieces to magazines a lot and i was interested in doing it too, but i'm not sure how it works. if youre up to answer- do you get paid if you get accepted? do you have to pay to submit? what magazines are good choices to submit to? (thank you i love your stuff lots!!)

HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (ilu!!!!!!!!!!!!)

okay so. i must confess that i never went in totally blind ‘cause the magazine i’ve submitted to most is one a friend from my university course founded after we graduated! because at least one of us had to have our life together. so i knew about it well in advance, and also have the benefit, i guess, of knowing OTHER ppl from my uni years (including my lecturer) who run magazines/websites and thus are like wink wink nudge nudge please submit a thing. so These People Know Me And I Know Them and theres that. THAT SAID you can technically get the same effect just chatting to Writing Twitter/Tumblr/w/e because from one writer to another, we love 2 talk abt writing, and ppl, love 2 listen, and if you Network(tm) [ugh i hate that term] enough then you’ll know people who’re making things and know what they want and know how to best write that they wanna publish!

on that note, tho, the ones im submitting to are also free!!!!!! and therefore i am not paid. but i do it mostly because it has a TON of benefits, such as getting used to the publishing process: what are the editing timeframes like? what’s it like to get back edits and return them in a timely manner? can you work with an editor to clarify stuff? can you write to a prompt? can you fit the style of the magazine yr submitting to? also, you get a nice portfolio of polished work to show off, which is neat!

that said, there are. a BILLION MAGAZINES. my GOD. theres magazines for THE MOST NICHE STUFF UNDER THE SUN. i cannot even begin to describe how many exist out there. there are ones that want the MOST particular content, and others that go ‘fuck it, send whatever’. so i can’t really recc any particular ones because what you like writing might be a completely different set of magazines than the ones i might submit to! but there’s sci-fi ones and queer ones and ones entirely about body image and body positivity and ones about travelling and others about FOOD and some about WITCHY STUFF and others about WOMEN’S STUFF and honest to god if you write a niche theres a magazine for it. and if there isnt? you can MAKE a magazine about it.

(that said, if you buy the Artist’s and Writer’s Yearbook, it’s a huge compendium of all the publishing houses, magazines, websites, weird places, niche corners and magical wizard shops that WANT YOUR CONTENT!!! i highly recc picking one up -- there’s a new one every year, but the one i have for 2016 still slaps. also, they have online listings for £25/year, so u can pop in any time and see what catches yr eye.)

anyway. back on track. so yeah, i’ve not been paid for my content, nor have i paid to get published: most magazines ive considered submitting to have NOT asked for a fee, but have offered money in exchange for publication, but that might be in my corner of things? again, magazines can vary. i probably wouldn’t go for one that wants a fee for nothing in return, though, because there’s plenty of other places that will either pay you or let u have 8000 words published for the heck of it (also i feel like. a lot of places that do that. r skeevy. i dont trust like that). in the end, it’s up to you: i know people who submit to magazines that pay them literally every month, some of which work their way into helping edit the dang things, and ppl like me who do it every now and again because its nice to rly flex those Creative Juices and get yr name published somewhere!

so my advice is: go on twitter and find a magazine that appeals to you! find out their submission dates and their guidelines - any magazine worth its salt will make their guidelines ABUNDANTLY clear - and just go for it! even if its not perfect, plenty will happily run over edits to clean it up. i also highly recommend finding some anthologies to join: i’ve been published in those, too! and again, anthologies have subjects and genres in every niche under the Sun. follow the guidelines, draft yr work, send it off, and stick to the prompt! it’s super fun and rewarding, and even if you don’t maybe fit what they want, it’s great to have a body of work you can bounce from. it’s all abt having fun, baybee.

(also sorry this answer is long i have a lot 2 say lmao)

More stuff from my blind DA:O playthrough:

- Went to the landsmeet, and immediately wanted to throw hands with the Arl. We get to do that later tho 👀

- Found out Queen Anora needed rescuing, which seemed easy enough.

- Ha! Nothing can never be that easy, first another one of the Crows showed up, some guy named Taliesen who apparently has a past with Zevran (and of course, my mind immediately went to Taliesin Jaffe, so thats all I can picture now). Zevran refused to fight, and ran off. So we were down one party member for the rest of the quest :\

- Had to start getting creative with taking out guards since we were down a rogue inside the palace. Not helped by the fact that at one point Oghren straight up just took off his armor. Can this get any worse?

- Answer: YES. Anora ratted me out, and I had to break out of prison. And the one time I thought being a rogue would be handy because I could just sneak past the guards, you cant open the doors while youre in combat. It took me a solid half hour to give up and realize that theres guard armor in one of the side rooms.

- Down about half my health potions, but otherwise very much alive, I managed to escape. On the plus side, I got to kill Arl Howe like the rat he was.

- Turns out, nobody likes Anora, but shes got the dirt on her dad, so we need her.

- Found out the alienage where I started the game was open again, so I decided to pay a visit.

- Dad's gone, plague's everywhere, and people are being kidnapped. What a lovely day :')

- Had a very sweet reunion with Shianni, only to realize that my Grey Warden never told his party members about how he was part of an arranged marriage.

- Rescued dad, and went back to my home for a bit.

- Talked with Alistair, who asked my opinion on our party members. Then he asked if I had "a thing" with Morrigan. At this point in my run, I've decided I'm romancing Zevran, so I was a little surprised by this.

- Then I talk with Wynne, who knows whats up, but says something about how I'll ultimately have to choose between saving the one, or saving the many. Thanks Wynne ;-;

- As much as I dislike doing it, I agreed to back Anora for the Landsmeet. Alistair doesnt want to be king, and hes not nearly as qualified anyway. Anora was already queen before her husband died, and she was pretty dang good at it. I dont like her, but it seems like the right choice??? I dunno anymore..

Please tell us more about the haunted house you’ve lived in for the past 8 years cuz that’s not something you just drop casually in the tags

there’s a lot of scary events that go on in my house, but to start it was a schoolhouse in the mid-1800s so its pretty dang old! Most of the stories revolve about footsteps and I’m not talking “the house settling creaks” like solid footsteps (in one case it sounded like work boots), but theres a few cases of things moving and opening.

I’ll share a few of my favorite stories though

this one is the most recent one

In our house we have a room we call the brown room since..the floor is brown (creative), but it’s like a utility room and it leads to the bathroom and backdoor(and crawlspace). Since a scardy cat my parents put up motion dector nightlights in some places in the room probably hoping I wouldn’t turn on lights wherever I go (it doesn’t work), but one of those is in the brown room. One night I was downstairs in the bathroom and heard footsteps which is pretty normal at night, unsettling but has been happening as long as we’ve lived here. I left and went into the kitchen (which is also connected to the brownroom) to make some late night toast.   As I’m standing there waiting for my toast I hear the footsteps behind me in the brownroom, but they sound like they’re heading towards the kitchen so now I’m feeling kinda freaked out, then the nightlight in the brownroom turns on the footsteps sound like they’re getting closer. I ran for the stairs and abandoned the toast bc I’ll pass on a ghost encounter thank you very much.

 Okay and this one happened a few years ago now, but my oldest sister just moved out and I got to move into her old room (1st time having my own room yeaaaaah boi), I moved all my stuff in a little bit later. A note on my room is theres a small walk-in closet which leads to the attic door which hmm creepy lookin(fun fact: a few months ago I heard LOUD scratching, we have mice sure but these were no mice- they were loud and panicky on the attic door, oh and also my bed in below the attic door bc im stupid). Anyways on my first night in my new room I was staying up late talking to friends and I went downstairs to use the bathroom. After I left I heard someone running up the stairs which came off as odd since everyone else went to bed a few hours ago and if they came down to use the bathroom then they’d still be waiting outside the door. I went back upstairs to my room to find my sketchbook and pencils that were on my desk knocked onto the floor and the closet door open. Needless to say, I didn’t get much sleep that night.

The last one didn’t happen to me, but it happened on our first night in the new house. My sister stayed at home to work on her Halloween costume well my mom, my older sister, and me were at walmart getting stuff for the house. Well there we got a call for her sounding pretty upset and panicked that it sounded like someone was walking around the house in boots and the sound of something metal being dragged around. We came home asap with a bat ready to fight any intruders, but after coming home we found no one, but my sister and no sign that someone had broken into the house. I give this house a 0/10 welcoming committee. 

Also okay I lied not last one this one is short but I thought of it right before hitting post. The downstairs bathroom has a window and one night well I was in there it was open and I heard a very solid-semi-loud whisper of my own name coming from the window that sent shivers up my spine and made me run like my life depended on it. Ever since then I close the bathroom at night or when I’m home alone bc nah fuck that. 

[svankmajerbaby]

For the film ask: 4, 8, 10, 16!

thank u so much!!!

4. a film you could watch on repeat for the rest of your life.

this is a tough one.... i have many favorite ones but i think i would end up getting tired of them if watching them too many times..... but for the sake of it im just gonna say The Fall. i can just watch it without paying attention to the story (which is amazing but a bit too emotionally taxing for me to watch over and over and over) and the pretty images are enough for me✨

8. which book would you like to see adapted into a film?

theres a childrens book ive always loved called Momo, by Michael Ende (the writer of The Neverending Story). i think theres been a couple german and italian adaptations, but id love to see a big budget adaptation that includes all the amazing surreal imagery, the story tangents of fairytales and playtime, and all the exquisite dialogues and characterization. its a dang long book to adapt, but if i had enough money and support its one of the projects id get on first

(i also really recommend u read the book if u havent yet)

10. whats your favorite movie director?

hgggg i hate choosing.... i think guillermo del toro, most likely. i love the approach to fantasy he takes, his care for worldbuilding and for finding humanity in his characters, and even if i havent seen all his movies yet i already feel a sort of bond between my movie tastes and the movies he makes. but also i wanna highlight julie taymor, who directed frida and across the universe and who has this gloria steinem biopic i havent seen yet that i really want to. i think shes one of the most creative directors working today, and she finds ways to use color, design, stylization and metaphor in really eyecatching ways. i wish she had a bigger filmography.

16. a film you love but everyone else hates?

im really not sure??? usually i like movies people havent seen or dont care about, or i hate movies everyone i know seems to love. maybe the 2017 mary shelley movie? it had several bad reviews, but i liked it.... or most of godards filmography, i dunno. i dont know, im too basic to have controversial movie opinions. but i dont really care.... i know what i like, and thats enough for me. and usually when people hate a movie i like i understand why -i like a lot of movies with shit scripts (see: most of tim burtons fimography)

oh i did like men in black three, with will smith being charming again and with all the 60s aesthetics, even if there were some ugly jokes in there. i think most people didnt like that one, so there it is.

[zhalar]

WOW ALRIGHT i need to have some things OUTTA MY BRAIN.

i finished the raven cycle by m. stiefvater and

i’ll see myself under a read-more

it took me a full fucking year to finish all of the four books so DO NOT expect me to remember 1. anything or 2. correctly. im foreseeing that im just gonna scream about the last book or whatever i remember so this is gonna be even more incomprehensible than first thought.

i actually cant believe that i love every single fking character in this bitchofa city. 300 fox way is such a fun and exciting place in my mind, i imagine the house to be at least 3 stories tall and really mitch-matched and standing out gorgeously from a row of suburban houses next to it.... good god!!!! i adore the communal bohemian feeling from the housing situation with the psychics . !!!! imo the house is just always full of random acquaintances (maybe this was proven a fact in some book? that theres a fuckton of people who just never get names or anything like that?) and i LOVE THAT IMAGE. the whole house is just. C O Z Y

ALSO LIKE THE GUYS LIVING IN SOME FUKCING MANUFACTORING BUILDING???? THATS GORGEOUS AND I LOVE IT!!!

this story made me really emotional about the world and youth and friendships and buhwuhhuhwbuh. it felt really real to me, ignoring all the otherworldly, obviously. like i cant begin to describe how earnestly i would love to live in a world with the main characters, im suddenly 13 again and its cool to say that youd like to live in some fictional world of your choosing, i choose this and maybe regret it once the devil fking stings me to death

Blue was such an excellent character bc she really made me feel Everything. at points it was kinship and at others it was frustration and next thing i know shes talking about wanting SOMETHING MORE and im just buggy-eyed like EXCUSE ME, knock next time you come snooping around in my brain will ya???? and like i get the whole “im not magical but everyone around me is” -trope. its a good fine trope but dang dang goddang during the first books it kinda irked me,,,, and then !! and then shes talking about all sorts of important things and shes so smart and shes so fun and i adore my lil sister so much and im so fking happy for her........ i put it this way at some point during the raven king: “IDK if im super projecting on Blue or feel super distanced to/from her but something about her characters makes me feel Everything at once. “

jealousy and longing were emotions i didnt expect to feel with this scifi-YA- series, if im being honest. guess its a compilation of a shitton of things, mostly like. Feeling inept with my abilities as a “creative” and reading this story that sounds gorgeous, paints gorgeous images, has gorgeous characters and makes my brain feel gorgeously magical -- and not being able to produce anything “worthy” of my own. its sort of “disheartening” to me, as a Youth(tm), to see how well people in their 30s can manage to navigate through this minefield of 16-18 year olds, when I, a 19 year old, cant really pull it off :--( suppose its just. Life and experience and /sighs

Longing was actually to be expected, i lied earlier. It was moooost likely uhhhh book 2 that made me think “oh wow, im emotionally attached to this story/these characters/their emotions” and like. youu know. as any good literature would, this also made me feel like /I/ would like to experience these magical things o’ life, also, thank you very very much. fukcing fears, man !!!! why are people afraid, why am /i/ always afraid :(

skipping away from the heavy self-examination and moving towards the important issues:

Calla and Gwenllian are both lesbians right? amazing! fucking,,,, i adore those women with the whole of my Heart i cant believe how much i love them i love them i love th e m

Gwenllian is the funniest most interesting thing on paper ive ever seen. i love that shes terrible i hope she has FUN.

Jesse Dittley deserves the world. What a wonderful character.

RONAN. im afraid that im gonna get super childish and like. envious i guess bc i just KNOW without having to search any tag as of yet that hes gonna be fandom favorite. i hate that i get like that but its like :((( i have an image of him in my head and i adore that image and im so afraid that the fandom experience is going to ruin him from me :-( on the other hand im a level-headed person who understands that fiction is meant to be shared so im just gonna be happy that he might have an audience who loves him and shares the love and i just gotta poke that envy-creature back into the fking hole it crawled from. i fell so hard for him as a character from the moment he appeared and fuck hell good god im so glad hes got good things going on for him now. wow!!!!

ya know how people choose characters to be their son/daughter/wife/husband/sibling etc, well. i dont foking know ((yeah i kinda do)) what Ronan means to me. hes just the unattainable goal of mine, what i want to be, maybe, slightly, what i will never become coz’ of who i am as a person.. hes my Bro. my Dude. not a brother or a love interest nor a child. just My Dude. huh.

personal opinion time, im not a fan of imagining Opal as ronan’s.......... daughter uhg..... thats a little sister, your honor. idk how people see her but im just gonna put it out here. idk idk not my cuppa tea. i saw one thing about ronan actually becoming a farmer (a headcanon, i mean) and my heart burst with 455390% love

ronan and adam’s first kiss and the whole “oil spill”-thing, i have never been this soft 

the friendships between the group im seething from love and appreciation ................... henry was such a wonderful addition to their band i cant believe this i love him im -- he and blue acting like they cant stand each other when Blue waited to get her bike in the raven king :(<3333 THATS FRIENDSHIP, BABY

the three of them going on a roadtrip im kissing my fingers, thats the american dreAM... and the car ronan left for them, for blue.......... he CARES

i love how much love ronan has in himself for so many people and creatures :-(

i cant believe how important mr gray and maura became to me. het rights i love my parents. Maura was the MOST fresh breath of air, im SO sick and tired of the usual parent-motives and whatnot. im so glad she sets boundaries but also lets Blue live her own life but ALSO lives HER own life at the same time. Maura you are......... a queen

uhuhguhuhuh all of the themes in this goddamn series, the kings and legends and magic and friendship and SOMETHING MORE and jusgt everything. maybe this was exactly the age and time when i was supposed to read this story. sighhhhhhhhs. god bless i picked up the first book from the library when i did. the only reason i ever got to know this story was because the library of the place where i went to high school carried the 1&2 books in english (obvs), and i needed to read something in english to practice for my final exams.. god. BLESS.

I dont think ive ever been this content with the  way a book series ends, or i just havent read many book series. I mean im absofuckinglutely devastated that Oh so now this world is spent?? FUN. but other than that.... ?? Im pretty goddang OK with every choice made. Maybe it was just the TIIINY bit disappointing that we never met Glendower, BUT. I mean instead we got real magic AND Gwenllian, so, who are the winners, really

ALSO an addition. ronan & calla brotp please. Please i just need them to be nasty and snarky and mean together i Need this

my fhukicng brain is frying hahaa

"People! Men? What makes you think you are a friend to men?"

“This, to Ronan, represented a romantic ideal that he would do much to achieve. He wasn't sure how to tell his brother this in a persuasive, unembarrassing way, though, so he said, in an unfriendly way, "I was actually thinkin' of being a farmer."”

“Finally, he'd thought, he'd found them. 'We' instead of 'you' and 'me'.“

god the writing. god the writing. ! i wish i knew how to plot and write shit that was this beautiful and entertaining and full of emotion. 

GOOD SERIES!! WILL BE QUEUING A TON OF SHIT ON MY Q BECAUSE I CAAAAN

Keep strong...

I've had this message on my board all week. So I must of looked at it more than a dozen times since then. What does it mean, what am I trying to say? I stare at it, percrasting not putting laundry away, but washing the floor instead. I struggled with it, the grammar and text of the sign. Should it "be strong" or "stay strong"? Why did I decided in "keep strong" versus "be strong"? Strong can refer to physical and mental strength. Staying with the program that's the "keep" part and the "strong" part is not giving it up for good.

At my worst, it was tempting to end it all. I also wrestle with cutting behavior and body numbness. It isn't easy being me. I know I can change and heal; I've done it before. I am strong. I overcame my dyslexia by the time I was 25. I have over came back injuries, 4 times now in my life and still healing from the last time. I was in a wheel chair for a year due to a frozen sciatica. Ive had successful shoulder surgery too. I gave up smoking over 20 some odd years now. I've survived and recovered from a nasty divorce, lost business and financial ruin. I've also lost 200lbs and avoided diabeties. I thought I had seen it and done it all.

Now I'm a brain injury survivor with chronic pain and fatigue. I'll get through this and so will you!

Can you keep strong and have the ability to ask for help when needed? If you're an over achiever like myself, your pride takes a bit of a dip in having to ask. I know, it's hard to be the one needing help. Especially if it was the other way around before. Now it's time to get past it! It's ok that we need help with some tasks, and that there are things we don't know how to communicate. Then there's things that I can do that others can't. One of my best gifts is my creativity. I can make something out of nothing. Whatever a sweater boom there it is, a minion pinayta for a party, a desk organizer, a bird feeder; some people can't even visualize it, never mind create it. Even Greta Nuremburg speaks of her handicap as a gift. It let her cut through the bullshit to form a direct line to help climate change. There's a certain stubbornness that seems to develop with learning disabilities/brain injury/mental illness etc. For me I'm sure its a coping mechanism. Its my brain working out how to make sense out of all this data. It gets overloaded at the strangest times, it seems. Still lots of mystery in my head. As a person that has difficulties decoding, speaking and hearing, sometimes adapting means putting myself in the middle of everything. I need to arrange things so that I can understand and communicate better, which isn't always possible. I'm fortunate to have a person to help when I need to get groceries or run errans. I'm still too limited with my mobility to drive most days. For everything else I do more with less. I can't hear on the phone. Add accents of any kind to conversations like West Indian, British, French or German... It's the worst for me and then we play a game show called What did you say? I'll take M as in Michael please. I dont do phone calls on days that I'm not up to the task. Forget everything if I have a migraine or my pain is past 6 and I had a rough night. Phone calls, get them out and done first thing in the am. I don't play telephone tag either. When leaving a message state a day and time that works better for them to reach you. I do everything I can possibly do with text messages and email. I process information best like this, the written word. Yeah, I'm not much of a conversationalist these days in person, unless its 1 on 1 or maybe you need a monologue or speech delivered? While writing offers some communication relief theres still grammar errors and spelling mistakes, but more or less writing is stress free for me, even enjoyable opposed to trying to follow a conversation between 3 or 4 people and remember names.

On bad brain days all my disabilities can be too much; then with the chronic pain and fatigue on top of that? Just kill me now? Or maybe now? Screw going anywhere! Ever! It's a head in a jar rough day, my body doesn't respond well to anything. Walking and talking is over ratted at this point; all I can do is rest. I feel defeated by my own body. See you have to "Keep Strong" even when your body can't. So no deal, less urgent tasks fall to the wayside. Sorry I got to bail out on that date again. In the moment I just want to give way, let it all go and become a gelatinous mass that can ooze up and down the stairway, absorb nutrients by oozing on them and Ah...don't move just emit blob like behavior.

Recently I joined the local Chronic pain and fatigue organization, there is no brain rehabilitation in my area, so much for Medicare. I'm so grateful that this .org exists. It's great when I can get out to the activities. The Yoga, it was great! Low impact just what I needed. I was in bed for 2 days after that. This Thursday Yoga came and went with my sadness. I did my at home version instead. Today again is not one of those going out days. That's perfectly fine with me. I know when I'm not good with other people or getting around. There's no point in being angry, tired, frustrated and in pain.

So when faced with "keep strong" laying in my bed. I know that caring for myself is not giving in to limitating beliefs but allowing myself to becoming stronger in the long term by understanding and treating my physical limitations today instead of making like the other regular sheep. I still meet my short term goals on stretching, hydrating and eating well. The basic chores still gets done. You need to remind your self that resting is a part of the healing process. This part is about concentrating on my health and supporting my own recovery. No one can do that for you. Understanding our limitations is not a weakness! Adaptation by trial and error. What works, what doesn't and concentrate on what does work for you. Forgive yourself for not being up to task. I know it's hard to believe that it's is a gift. It is a strength and a gift to be able to face the tough stuff. We get to see the world we live in another way opposed to those entrenched in the rat race. It's not about fitting in society. It's about taking your space, finding your power and place; just as you are. I no longer feel that I'm missing out in life. I'm working on healing myself. I haven't lost the war, I'm just taking a breather. So go on ahead, I'll catch up eventually. This dang boulder won't stop rolling down the hill. Hold on, I'll go get another boulder to stop this one...

Meet The Sides!

Of course, theres Me, the Host, Yvette. Im your average Middle School Introvert, an Androgyne, Panromantic Middle Schooler. Nice to meetcha!

My first side, Creativity. Hes an adorable disney loving Guy that calls himself the Prince, whos best friends with Passion, a girl whos way to obsessed with Shipping and Fanfics

Creativitys twin sister who never brushes her dang hair, Dark Creativity, aka, the other side of creativity. Dark Creativity calls herself the Princess, as if to make fun of her brother, she does like the title though. Dark Creativity is obsessed with Angsty Fanfics and often rants about dangerous stunts

Logic is a very reserved side who tries to always make Yvette Punctual. Logic hates jokes, but has an odd love for Moralitys jokes

Morality has a love for puns and stupid jokes, a silly, childish side who has a love for all the others, even if Passion may make some inappropriate jokes. Morality likes to go by Heart, seeing as she IS the source of alot of Yvettes emotions

Passion is obsessed with shipping her friends and reading Fanfictions. Passion controls Yvettes love and relationships, along with her motivation to work, making her good friends with Logic and Creativity

Anxiety is a lonely side who practically hates the others, but acts like a mother towards Fear, in all honesty she kinda is

Fear is a very anxious, shy side who avoids the others, often hanging around Anxiety. Not much is known about him

Impulse is Creativity and Moralitys best friend, frenemies with Logic, and teases Anxiety about her... Well.... Anxiety. Impulse loves movies and binge watching things with Prince and Heart

Are there more?? Just wait and see

[dullanyan]

well. i do one of these every year so time to continue the tradition

2021 huh.

what a fucken year... century.

i didnt do a whole lot this year for well. obvious reasons

i DID get to go to the beach and the state fair, tho, so that was nice.

bad things: mental health hell, and went to 2 funerals, one for my dad’s father (i had absolutely no relationship on a personal level, just biological) and for my uncle which was... really unexpected.

but my dads fathers funeral had some good with it; we went down to florida for it which meant returning to the sea for the first time in ~11 years. this time i wasnt afraid of it and enjoyed being roughly tossed about with no regard for my safety by the waves. honestly, it was very therapeutic! i hope to return soon to the ocean... and while in florida, we got to go to an aquarium. it was a lot smaller than i thought, but it was still very nice.

more good things, i am getting to a personal health goal. physically i really dont feel like theres a difference, but i suppose when i see myself in the mirror often, its hard to notice small changes.

this past month has been horrible mental health wise... and a bit physically. but, with the new year, hopefully i’ll have some motivation to exercise more.

i dont really have a lot of memories from this year? ive just been kinda... drifting through it.

for 2022 i just want things to get better for me. even if just a little bit. i’ll be turning 26, and life has been stagnant for me since i was 18. if there are any major changes, i hope theyre good ones. i hope the Plague can stop spreading so much, too. i hope i can go back out in public without feeling afraid at some point this year.

and most of all, i hope my friends and family are healthy and happy. i hope we all can enjoy our passions, i hope to be able to return to mine. ive not really done much of anything creative this year...

please take care of yourselves! lets all make it to 2023 as well.

edit: i had to look thru my phone gallery to remember stuff from this year nhjfdknfhj

monster hunter rise was 2021 AND I THOUGHT IT WAS 2020... dang. but that was super fun w friends!! i talked a lot to my friends this year and got closer to them and even made new ones. i also went on a lot of nature walks and those are also very fun!!

FIVE TROPES.

Monochrome Past - Honey doesn’t like to live in the past since she finds the future far more exciting. Everything that has happened to her up to this day has been merely a guide. Today will become history and then tomorrow and she likes to think of each day ending with the color sucked right on out of it and put right into the new day making it that much brighter.

An Immigrants Tale - Although she, herself, isn’t an immigrant, one of her parents is and thus she has an immigrants tale. It is one that continues even to this day as she fights against the inequality in her nation. 

Gender Bender Friendship - In her life, Honey has gotten to know a great many people especially in Carthay and thus has made a few unlikely friendships. Where she is the smarts, the other is the beauty (specifically the male). However, just because she carries the brains for both of them does not mean the other person carries all the attractiveness.

Quirky Town - Carthay, Ca. That’s it. She lives in a quirky little part of a quirky little town and she loves it.

The Neutral Zone - Honey hates fighting. She hates controversy and having to battle it out even when its most necessary. So, more often than not, you will find her being Switzerland. The Neutral Zone!

[fursona-reviews]

Yo serious question that I'm expecting at least 20 paragraphs for, how do I go about designing my fursona, what are some do's and dont's, things like that

OOOOHKAY! this will indeed be a bit long, so put on your safety seatbelts and helmits before we ride out on this answer.

Here’s the thing about fursonas:

the only difference between a fursona, and a regular old oc, is that a fursona is meant to specifically represent you. now it is easy, and totally acceptable to make a fursona thagt isnt very much like you at all, but i really really love the idea of designing animal human hybrids to express my inner self.

its also very very cool to me that i can see someone elses furson, and get an idea of how they view themselves. knowing that, having a cool fursona can actually make a very important first impression on the internet.

a fursona is like a business logo

SOO! after choosing an animal to represent yourself with, you just need to design a character. thats the harder, but less soul-searchy part. designing characters is something that takes a lot of artistic know-how, but basically you just need to have a good understanding of shapes, and accentuate the aspects that are important to your sona.

now i wont go off and make a big long post all about character design, theres already plenty of videos on the net that could explain that much better than i can, and i encourage going out and looking for that information if you want to improve in that area, so all im gonna say really is this:

Bottom line, they’ve gotta be interesting to look at. using big basic shapes in your design is a great way to do that.

when youre making a fursona, some things that you may want to avoid:

too many colors;

stick to a color pallet of only about three different colors at most, ideally. and if those three colors are close together on the color wheel, Great!!!!

anatomical problems;

whether its human anatomy, or animal anatomy, make sure that it all makes sense when put together. it needs to translate easily into the shape of its own, reaal creature.

too many points of interest;

if your sona is always dressed up in five different rave outfits at once, and has eight horns and robot limbs and wings and five eyes, it’ll be VERY hard to concentrate on that design. an extremely complicated design can work for a highly detailed portrait, but if that character is ever in motion, they’ll look terrible. also, very hard to draw, please love yourself. a good rule of thumb for design is to create a character that you can draw sequentially.

Other than all that, its pretty much just have fun and be yourself!!!!!! find a creative way to express your inner self through character design!!!!! making your fursona should ultimately be fun for you.

im not very good at articulating my thoughts, because im autistic as FUCK, so i apologize for this post being all over the dang place. but here are some other sources to look at in order to learn more

to make a good fursona, you need to understand 2 things:

yourself

your animal

after that, its all just the jazz of putting the two together.
