Look what we've become.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#Initially I wanted to do a 'Mutiny' quote to follow the 'Luck runs out' quote.#But the musical earworms demanded a different blood to be drawn. And I think it works just as well.#Alright. It's time to confess something. I really struggled with this comic. I didn't want to draw it. Then I didn't want to upload it.#Because I knew I would be here in the tags writing and backspacing for hours trying to articulate my thoughts.#I'm going to talk about death and grief in the tags today so this is your WARNING to look away if you aren't in a headspace for it.#Sometimes in media there are scenes and characters which land on topics so specific to your wounds that it reopens them all over again.#Because here's the truth. When you've known someone like this for nearly your whole life...it doesn't matter how bad the fight is.#You always think 'We'll always have time. One day this dust will settle and we'll rebuild the bridge.'#And then the fucker dies!!! He dies and suddenly there will never ever be time to repair the rift.#Someone you loved died thinking you hated them. And part of you did just a bit. But love and hate aren't mutually exclusive.#He's fucking dead and you are left with so many broken and unfinished pieces between the two of you.#Jiang Cheng loses Wei Wuxian thinking that WWX thought they hated each other.#He's a younger brother who will one day be older than the person he lost.#Who has no one else in the world who understands those feelings of love and hate and grief.#I can't be normal about this character. I don't think he even heals me. Zero catharsis to be gained here.#I just look at his sour grape ass and think 'shit that's a little too close to home.' JC is my discomfort character.#I'm probably going to regret being this vulnerable in the tags in like. An hour. So. sorry if you see this once and never again.#EDIT: Yeah sorry this took 4 hours to muster the courage to post. Surprise update!#EDIT 2: You guys were being too nice to me on my sad comic to point out the spelling error. I have fixed it now B'*)

thinking about how eddie munson probably has a ridiculous collection of guitar picks. little jars of them. some collected at shows, some he picked up for a nickel at the only local music shop he's ever trusted to do work on his Sweetheart, some he was gifted for free at his local record shop that he's been frequenting for years now. the little old man running the record shop even gets excited when new vinyls are sent out with promotional merch, and he knows it's a band or musician eddie is into. probably even called eddie in at times and handed him a handful of metallica themed pics, hardly worth much, but solely because "i knew you like them and will find a good use for these, son".
my point is, he's got a pick for every occasion. shitty plastic thin ones for just fucking around with. thicker, nicer ones that might have been proper holiday gifts to him. the kind that are meant to hook on his fingers like rings (he tried using them a few times, especially for rifts, but ended up saying he played better when he felt the strings against his skin instead while picking away). novelty ones, ones that just looked plain cool. so on and so forth.
and he's got his collection just sitting in little jars across his room. he used to keep them in other things, like old ash trays or tin cans he'd cut and mold to be good containers. but then he started dating you, and you insisted on lending him any empty jars you weren't using. you had your own collections in yours: pretty stones found down by the creek, bottle caps of the sodas you and eddie get every time you stop at the gas station right on the edge of town by lover's lake - you even had one of every single crumpled up note eddie had ever given you over your time of dating. a few jars of those, actually. so what was lending him a few spares? at this point, the jars were a collection in themselves, and... well... it was prettier to see his vast collection in those glass jars anyways. being able to pick out the vibrant tones of the guitar pick you'd been with him as he'd purchased two weeks prior, or the pick from the show you'd gotten him tickets to last christmas. it was nice. a cute reminder of time spent, of what made eddie munson tick.
the important thing is, eddie munson isn't blind. he sees the way you look at that collection, especially after he fills the jars with it.
how some days, he'll be strumming away on his guitar, softly humming, and you'll just grab a jar to pick through. interrupting his nonsensical playing to ask him where he got one you didn't recognize, sometimes asking for the stories behind ones he knew you already knew. he'd caught on to the way you just liked hearing him talk, especially about the things he cared most about.
you also really, really liked the pick he wore as a necklace. it was probably your favorite in his collection, and you knew it was his favorite too. giving it as a gift to you was never an option, because it had been given as a gift to him originally by his mom.
so he does the next best thing.
he figures out your favorite pick in his collection. the one you always go back to, the one you ask for the story behind on a nearly weekly basis. one similar to the one always resting against his collarbones. pearly sheen, marbled tones, a slow indent the shape of his thumb being worn into the old tortoiseshell. it's a little less red, a little bit brighter, and he can't even strum it against his strings anymore without thinking of you. it's somehow become his lucky pick - the pick he cherishes most aside the one from his mom.
and the one he chooses to turn into a necklace, for you.
does it all himself. carefully piercing a hole through the top just like his own, picks out a nice chain that costs two paychecks of his, takes an old pocket knife to it and spends weeks carving your initials into the shiny material. he's gentle as hell with it, finishing it off with some gold paint to fill in the carving that matches the chain and swirling tones of the picks.
a week before christmas he nearly backs out of the gift idea, and almost begs wayne to help him go to the mall and pick out some other basic but safe gift for you. a perfume/cologne, a nice sweater, anything. wayne refuses to let him, and the only thing the gentle old man will offer is a nice box for eddie to place that necklace born of love into.
the look on your face on christmas morning, sitting in the center of the munson's living room, on the verge of happy tears as you lift the homemade necklace so gently, soothes away every single doubt ever had about it all.
and the look on wayne's face is a simple, caring, stern vision of i told you so.
#eddie munson#eddie munson x you#eddie munson headcanon#eddie munson blurb#im just thinking about him#stranger things#he'd be so proud of it#his cheeks would start to hurt from how infectious your grin was#you'd be so excited like 'fuck yes we MATCH'#wayne probably makes eddie cry later that night#in the kitchen as they finish making the dinner for the three of you#bringing up his mom#saying how she'd be proud of how good you are for eddie and how good he is to you#how she'd probably be obsessed with the fact you two are matching#maybe even comment on how nice it is that you keep eddie in check with having a little variety in his music taste as he gets older#i can also picture the fact that maybe some of your favorite artists were also hers#how sometimes eddie sort of feels like she sent you to him#anyways#YEAH#this is messy and a long continuous boring thought#do with it what you will since i haven't had time to write my holiday stories yet <3

The reason I think the Bizzies being gender swapped works way better than having the Lizzies be gay is because it makes space in this musical for women to have sexual appetites and agency towards men in a way that's fairly rare in depictions of heterosexual relationships. For the Bizzies to seduce the Warriors by offering what they know the Warriors want and have the Warriors feel empowered to take it is imo more subversive than just like. The concept that women can be attracted to other women. Within the context of Warriors, because the text does address queerness in other places, I think it ends up being a more powerful statement to depict (some of) the Warriors as heterosexual women who have sexual agency than just being like. Well in a lesbian relationship someones gotta be the "guy" and tonight its gonna be the Warriors. Cowgirl is a heterosexual woman and she likes sex and the narrative never calls her a slut for that, and even when her sex drive gets her into trouble its still explicitly the fault of the person who tricked her, not her fault for wanting to get laid. When Rembrandt is listing the needs the Bizzies are offering to fulfill for the Warriors, she lists sex right up there with food. And thats something that I feel like doesnt often get talked about with heterosexual women especially in fiction. Theyre expected to be passive. The idea that the Warriors could need to get laid as badly as they need to eat and take a nap is just treated as like yeah duh. They've had a bad night. And that IS a revolutionary thing to put in a musical.
#idk if this is coherent im about five minutes from passing out#i just like. sometimes just making something queer doesnt make it more radical yk?#having a super femme girl gang who seduces the warriors and then SIKE theyre EVIL is like. thats actually not new.#actually evil seductive women and evil duplicitous lesbians are both kind of tired#but evil sweater wearing nsync boys who are so soft and gentle and nice and say all the right things about consent??? oooh yeah#now we're breaking new ground#warriors musical

Dick, Jason, and Tim all have vastly different workout playlists, but they all give off the same vibes
Dick: Very High Energy, Happy Feelings songs. Everything from “The Greatest Show” to “Joyride” Imagine songs with a good beat to time workouts too (and randomly break out into a twerk to.) Also has a soft spot for 2010’s Warped Tour hits.
Jason: Songs that make you feel like you could kill a man. “Start a Riot,” “War!,” etc BUT also white girl music. He’s listening to “A thousand miles” and “Wrecking Ball.” Also, West Coast Classics.
Tim: Give him a happy rage to fuel his workout. Songs like “Monster” and “Hell Above” as well as anime openings, they get stuck in his head.
The three compromised and made a shared playlist with songs approved by each of them. There are a few songs on there they all f with but won’t admit to such. How did Disney end up on there? Epic? Who knows oops guess we’ll keep it. When they have this playlist on, anyone who walks in gets WHIPLASH from the sheer variety of stuff on it.
And oops I dropped the playlist here
#batman#jason todd#red hood#batfam#batman wayne family adventures#dick grayson#tim drake#red robin#nightwing#workout playlist#click the link#at least they aren’t arguing on what music to put on anymore#Damian judges them hardcore for some of the songs on it#if they aren’t listening to music they’re listening to murder mystery podcasts#Tim has it solved in .5 seconds#sometimes he’s nice and keeps it to himself tho#sometimes#then they all argue about who the killer was#it just ends up with them sitting in a circle on the floor#going over facts and making spreadsheets#just sibling things#it’s a bonding exercise#they’re brothers your honor

smth smth about 'the thing that the character did that you thought was rly rly funny in the moment is actually linked to a terrible trauma that lies within said character.' or wahtever.
#jrwi show#jrwi fanart#jrwi riptide#gillion tidestrider#made this within a short span of wahtever bc i gotta go up to the mountains for my stupid gay job tonight n im trying#nnot to frrRREAAAK THE FUCK OUUTTTTTTi dont wanna work but. get that bread we fuckin shall i guess#ONWARDS TO THE FISH TORMENT!! sometimes flowers feel pain when you trim them before their blossoming. atleast i imagine so#i used to draw gillion with loooong hair tied into a big ol braid. and then it was confirmed that he had short hair when he was little.#AT FIRST I WAS SAD. but then i realized the duality of. when they were little. gill had short hair. edyn had long hair.#AND NOW THEYRE OLDER. and gillion has long hair. and edyn has short hair#both mirroring eachother. looking up to eachother. subconsciously or not. they most certainly care. and most certainly miss eachother.#GILLION ALWAYS LOVED HOW LONG HAIR LOOKs. atleast i imagine so. he hasnt cut it since he left the undersea. sure he wanted to go back home#but even at the very start. he knew he was free in some way now. free to grow out his hair. an adventure would await him before he returns.#he knew it would be a while. so he cant let this go. he cant let this sought-after hair-length get cut away from him again#not yet. not yet. i like to think he loved music too. I SAW SOMETHING INTERESTING A BIT AGO#i see alot of ppl commenting on my baby gill comics like;'i wouldFIGHT this teacher i wanna KILL EM i want them DESTROYED#all very good and nice sentiments! i LOVE the energy here! and it would be nice. to have that catharsis#but the story of young tidestrider is not a story of catharsis. it is a story of agony and being so so small and so special and also so dum#and sucking so bad. and just being a kid and doing the things that a little kid does and so many tired tired people reacting badly to it#youre supposed to be the hero that will save us. our world hangs in the balance and you are the one who tips the scales.#YOU are supposed to SAVE US!! you NEED to SAVE US! CAN YOU PLEASE STOP SQUIRMING IN YOUR STUPID CHAIR!!#you'd think that young tidestrider ought to prevail. and be tucked someplace all safe and sound.#elders gone missing and rotting in a jail. their cultists nowhere around. but theres no happy endings. not here not now.#this tale is all sorrows n woes. you may dream that justice n peace win the day. but thats not how this story goes#BIG ideas for this lil baby gillion series. if anything i make ever gets disproven im killing myself in a well as to poison a water supply

#they were both so cute okay. it was nice while it lasted. I like how genuine their whole dynamic was even if they aren't meant to be#or maybe I'm just projecting bc I wanna be loved by someone like luka. but i genuinely found them so adorable tgt#‘you are the music that's been playing inside my head since the day we met’ OKAY WOW#still ship ladynoir but sometimes I have days where i find lukanette fanart so cute and rethink it all-#miraculous fandom#miraculous ladybug#miraculous#miraculous lb#luka couffaine#marinette dupain cheng#lukanette

Everyone wearing Collins’ coat… except for Collins himself
#rent the musical#maureen johnson#angel dumott schunard#mimi marquez#roger davis#mark cohen#fanart#my art#started with a doodle of Angel in Collins jacket and spiraled from there#anyways I think everyone likes to take his coat sometimes p#because it’s nice and warm#and I think it looks very warm#and Collins frequently offers his jacket to Angel#so the (blatantly stolen) is not entirely accurate#but I do think Angel has taken it a few times#when she knew Collins wouldn’t miss it

album recommendations?
not so much recommendationssss I haven't been dipping into new or fringe releases as much as I should but! have been enjoying:
softscars - yeule. this IS a 2023 album but has felt fresh to me every day since release. sort of a glitch pop meets shoegaze sound and strikingly vulnerable in lyricism. adore. and their remix of Slugs by Slowpulp is one I keep coming back to.
another 2023 release but I recently went to her show and have been sucked back into alternative R&B album sweet justice - tkay maidza. love love love her
new blue sun - andre 3000 which I also saw live recently (awful performance but great album). would rec that and série réflexion 1 - oscillation circuit if ambient instrumental music is ur thinggg
quite literally alternating between mezzanine - massive attack and S/T - colorblind right this second. angsty.
the obvious hits like brat - charli xcx, TIMELESS - kaytranada, all born screaming - st vincent. and I like that billie eilish album may I say...
anyway if anyone has recommendations my heart and ears and always open
