i saw earlier you said you like earthspark bumblebee, have you ever drawn him? 👀

he was the first transformer i ever drew, but i never could get him to look quite right. I like seeing him in the cartoon, he's perfect in that medium. Its kinda why i try to design my own, so im not trying to capture an essence that's beyond my reach. I'll give it my best shot tho, here's earthspark bee and idw bee, and another attempt at my own with elements of both (i think my bee changes slightly every time i draw him because i havent quite figured it out yet haha)

Cookie Run AU Ideas #1 (or 2? Does the Herb Archer one count?): Crispia Academy

A school AU where all the cookies are students! The ancients are the teachers, and the students start to notice something...odd, about them. Such as the Mr Cacao's slip-ups where he starts using old slang no one recognises! Or when Ms Hollyberry started a rant about royal politics during a class when a student mentioned it, one swears that Hollyberry had a real shield. Ms Cheese's jewellery seems a bit too luxurious and Angel once mentioned that they saw Ms Cheese fly! But surely not, right? Magic doesn't exist, and people with wings can glide at most. Gardener Pure Vanilla is rumoured to actually be the principal, who has a love for tending to the plants around the school. The stories he tells are weirdly consistent and too detailed to be just stories. He often speaks of the characters while looking sad, or wistful...not to mention his odd habit of referring to people as "cookie". It hasn't happened a lot, but, weirdly, it happened more than once. And the school is apparently haunted at night, with eyes that watch from all the shadows. No one has managed to prove that yet.

The new students are strange too. After a visit from a guest no one recognised, some guy named Wind-something started to attend the school. Followed shortly by another student, who was eccentric and hot-headed.

The school's conspiracy club is never quiet.

OR

The Ancients are immortal, watching the cookies they knew succumb to time and the world change around them. Since there are few immortals around, they all end up meeting and become somewhat acquainted with each other. Cookies were no longer recognised as "Cookies", and magic was forgotten. It would never completely fade, though. Not with the elementals, who continued to watch the world. White Lily Cookie separated from them again, remaining by the Silver Tree as its new guardian. She needed to keep the remaining beasts contained, after all. They still keep in touch, whether it is through occasional tea or through the new electronics. Pure Vanilla Cookie eventually decided to open up a school, and his friends joined him as teachers. It was a surprise when centuries later, the reincarnations of the cookies they knew slowly started to attend. Millennial Tree Cookie even asked Wind Archer Cookie to disguise himself as a student! And with the wind, fire will always follow.

If there is one thing that has been created since the past that Pure Vanilla Cookie was thankful for, it is therapy. While they can't go to a therapist and just dump centuries worth of trauma onto some poor cooki- person, Pure Vanilla can most definitely take up the subject himself. He'd do anything to help his friends.

In tonight's edition of every song ever is about my ship, I bring you "I miss you" by Blink 182 as a sad goth vibes Beetlebabes song 🖤

//Honestly I hate that tiktok made this song into a meme because this song is beautiful and it was huge when it came out for us alternative/goth/punk teens in the early 2000s and it pretty much pioneered the emo wave that came after. Super influential song, so don't let tiktok taint it.

Me staring at test results: It makes so much sense for her, but if I don't specify or elaborate, then we end up with the fanon take. Ugh, how do I easily explain that if you look at the word 'sex' through a much more old-fashioned lens instead of the modern one, that you'll get a vastly different picture of it?

i was gonna ask ❤️ but i think i know the answer already so 💛💕🖤 👁️👁️

i actually dont see ❤️ on the list. i dunno if i went blind or sth?? lol

💛: What is a popular ship you just can't get behind, and why?

m*rg*tt/any tarnished (i censored to try to avoid this ending up in ppls searches, sorry if it didn't work lol) his hatred of tarnished is pretty extreme, to the point of building a regiment of elite knights to hunt them down, and then doing so personally in game not once, but twice! it's tough imagining any one of this group he despises so thoroughly getting through to him to the point of a romance. i only chose this one bc it's literally the most written about on ao3 haha so no shade to ppl who write it, it's just a hurdle i can't quite get over.

💕: What is an unpopular ship that you like?

hmm i ran out of my mainstays so i'm having to think pretty hard on this....while nepheli/roderika is not popular, i somehow feel it's not in the spirit of the question since no one is especially against it so i won't use that haha maybe mohg/miquella? it gets hated on a lot despite being pretty blatant, to the point people often deny it's even possibly there. i think mohg's desire for love after being denied it by his own mother has taken on such a messed up shape, not just in his obsessive behavior towards miquella but in his desire to build his dynasty around "love" and "truth", all the while he has to kidnap all these people into being with him, or effectively 'drug' them with his blood. miquella is especially suitable for this horror precisely because he has always been the one to go to bat for those who were rejected and outcast. so it makes perfect sense why mohg would turn his eyes to him first(even more so when you see his other options were ranni and malenia, who could both beat his ass lol).

🖤: Which character is not as morally good as everyone else seems to think? im trying to pick characters for this who don't actually get debated over(like all the demigods), which is why i picked ken haight last time. and maybe i will be a demon again and say rya this time. before you kill me, hear me out!! the fandom has a tendency to infantaiize rya a bit, and i see her given the 'sweet cinnamon roll does no wrong' thing even though...we meet her because she's testing people to see if they're willing to fight, and even possibly kill others. and her job is to lead you back to volcano manor where you will, again, be asked to kill others. now im not saying she's evil incarnate or anything. on the scale of corrupt and cruel actions in TLB, hers aren't exactly high, and she definitely is one of the kinder people out there! BUT the question is 'who is not *as* morally good as others think', and if most people seem to think she has done absolutely no wrong then....i disagree lol

reading sage's anons and thinking about how important it is that people get away from the narrative that your 20s are integral to shaping the rest of your life and/or that you need to have all your shit figured out before 30 because that mindset is /so/ suffocating and makes it feel like your time is running out or something. it's not to say that your 20s will be absent of long term effects (positive or negative), but it's by no means the defining era of your entire life. if you've got things figured out by your mid 20s, that's genuinely great and i wish i'd been you LMAO but if you don't, that's fine too !!

i feel like the pandemic really threw everyone for a loop cos it fucked with so many of us during some formative developmental years, and it's left a lot of people feeling aimless or as though they 'lost' a bunch of time. i'm not immune to it, but i keep trying to remind myself that there's still a vast majority of my life ahead of me (fingers crossed?)

anyway yeah no real point to this, just thinking about how sad it makes me to see people panicking about their life's direction when they're in their teens. there is so much time ... i promise you there is so much time ...

Cool dice and stargazer

(Also the vampire one made me wheeze laugh so hard I snorted XD I was like nah I ain't saying that one about anyone 💀)

Everyone has diagnosed me as "Cool Dice" It makes me wonder if I should post a picture of my neat socks collection.

Also... Stargazer is so VISERALLY accurate, I'm surprised not many people got it sooner.

I was a Honor Roll straight A kid who didn't need to study or learn any life skills because schoolwork just came naturally to me and a lot of the subjects in school, like reading, science and art... and the basic academics were my special interests at the time so I did well.

When I went to college, I think I got my first Cs in classes that I genuinely loved and thought I was to be good at. Like Theatre, Photography and Psychology. and then I cried cus I thought I was dumb and not good at things that I loved.

No, I wasn't, I just didn't study and no one told me like that's what you HAD to do in college.

So like when... I tell Neurotypicals that I'm actually Autistic. They look at me so strange like... "But you did good in school!"

Yeah. And then I flounder later in adult life cause fundamentals weren't explained to me and quickly forgotten about.

I remember fighting with my English Teacher in highschool a lot because i said that "as long as the sentence makes sense in the context of the story, grammar isn't nessasary"

Which is probably something you see in my writing that I struggle with, and it's typically why I take so long because I keep trying to change the tense of verbage use to keep it consistent and second guess myself as if my fanfic is an academic paper to be graded. A horrible habit I know.

I'm also mildly dyslexic and horrible at spelling and cheated on all my spelling tests in Fifth grade and don't know how to spell to this day.

Spellcheck has been my friend, but since they integrated AI into it, lately spellcheck has not been picking up on my common misspelled words and usually recommend me different damn words then what I want....

buuuut...

Yeah. Sorry for dumping

Anyway. I have a lot of cool socks.

[aizenat]

I saw that the dude had a shirt and trumps name was on it, and when he said his line how trumps a scab I was like ahh that’s gotta be what it says. Wonder why he didn’t reveal it then.

And then he goes “to quote the great poet Nelly, it’s getting hot in here” so he could take his jacket off to reveal the shirt was not what I expected. But I have to say, considering how I’ve been very nostalgic for Nelly this year, bout time someone put some respect on his name! 😂

All my 90s babies will understand...

We grew up as technology was evolving. Like I remember palm pilots, flip phones, CD players, then those melding into the iPhone and iPod, then THOSE melding together. I remember those those brick boxes we called laptops becoming the sleek laptops we have today.

I still remember being in like 2nd grade and us all being amazed at the teachers board that you could write on with your finger!

I had a myspace when it launched and would code my homepage to look glittery as hell with that perfect emo song that sung my angst!

That being said...

I just spent two hours with my boss trying to figure out how to hook my work laptop to my monitors.

WHAT HAPPENED?! Lol. I know I'm not alone in this. Why aren't we better at this stuff? We should be masters with technology by now lol

I think it’s time to bring out the “Just because they were oppressed by white people doesn’t mean they’ll like black people” points. Also by Western, I assume they mean tribes indigenous to the USA.

The East Native American tribes in the south owned( and no amount of they were infiltrated by white people or they were trying to appeal to white people more could ever defend or justify holding black people as slaves. Especially when one of the tribes(Cherokee) have a pattern of not treating their black members well.) slaves.

Just because they’re indigenous doesn’t make them any less antiblack.

They have literally indirectly said they don’t like Black people. At some point, black people should be questioning why they’re “Allies” are producing shows that they champion as indigenous representation(Reservation Dogs) are portraying black people and our culture in a stereotypical negative light.
