#ok ill shut up now BYE

[supernova-151]

did somebody say pride month a week away?

DCLA aficionados, i've got you covered for the month of June! say hello to the first ever edition of DCLA PRIDE MONTH!

i had the idea to dedicate this special month to the queer couples we love from our favourite shows. a while back i asked my friends (couldn't have done it without their help as we all know i haven't watched 2/3rds of these shows lol) and thanks to their help and support, the dcla pride month 2023 is now officially happening!

please feel free to join in the fun by writing, drawing, editing, pretty much doing anything you want to celebrate the pairings that you love the most! tag me in your content and ill make sure to reblog and share anything you come up with. let your imagination run free, and most importantly, have fun! i want this to be as an exciting and enjoyable month as possible, don't feel forced to join in or to do every day at all!

as you can see every day is dedicated to a ship with june 27th being d+la day (choose a queer ship for any d+la show you enjoy) and the last three days are wild cards for any couples i might have missed or that are already in the calendar, but you just wanna make content for them again!

but that's all from me...start your engines, june's a little more than a week away! <3

i dont come on here often anymore and to an extent that was second nature, but it’s partly deliberate too, the distance i’ve put between myself and fandom/timmy. i’d rather be watching from afar these days (not so much that i’m forgetting about it lol)

that’s not at all my point though lol i actually wanted to say occasionally i do come and do a little scroll through this blog or a tag or something and i’m really truly so grateful that it exists. it feels like a diary of sorts of some of the happiest years of my life and as someone with bad memory it’s such a relief and a blessing to have something to go back to help me remember.

and it’s not so much about timmy at all, it’s about my life. i just scrolled past a series of photos captioned february 19 2018 and i remember seeing these photos for the first time: it was raining again, after a few days of blessed sun and warmth in london, i was sitting at a lecture on bourdieu/taste and i kept telling myself i should be listening but i wasn’t, i was giddy and scribbling on the margins of my notes instead. this blog didn’t even exist then. but i see certain photos or read certain posts and it really shapes up a memory that otherwise probably would’ve faded by now. like little tags, little timmy shaped tags that help my life be a little more easy to recollect

what is your favorite thing about charles and your favorite thing about erik? separately, as in what you like most about their characters :]

a devious question this one is, my friend!!! it's hard enough for me to explain my thoughts cohesively, but having to pick ONE thing i particularly love is difficult. with characters like charles and erik, theres been so much done with their characters over the decades and so they have so many components to them that make them so interesting and fun to observe. BUT I TRY FOR YOU TODAY. under the cut i kinda ramble and the size of this text box makin me anxious

i think if i were to be simple and broad, what i enjoy most about charles is his determination to help others, even if he isn't really thanked and/or if people don't even like him. ofc, this isn't to say he hasn't done wrong- to be honest, the fact he does wrong/questionable things at times is another aspect of him i really enjoy, maybe because- broadly speaking- he's meant to be altruistic (intent vs outcome and all that). i don't know if that's super exciting to most people, but it is for me

as for erik, my reason for liking him is easier to explain tbh. To Be Simple And Broad, his progression from villain to antihero over the decades has been fun to observe (as much as i have so far anyhow) and analyze. i think to be a bit more specific, him using his rage and pain as justifications for his villainous actions is definitely what compels me the most: hurt people hurt and the sort, an idea i've always found interesting (something something vicious cycles and the like). yet now, he recognizes this wasn't really. A Just Thing To Do and is beginning to change that, which i enjoy

Teruki blinks at him, and then he’s chuckling again and bowing his head down so he only sees the beginnings of brown roots coming in. When he lifts his head again his eyes are wet, but the pinks in his aura are soaking into his soul so much that he finds it really hard to be alarmed in the trance of it. “Please don’t apologize,” Teruki whispers, blinking away the shine that reflects the slit of sun from the window. His voice wobbles and hitches at the end, and Shigeo shifts, widens his eyes a little, but then his partner is moving. He leans over Shigeo’s chest, arches over the cracks that seep with energy carefully. Both of his hands are suddenly around his face and Teruki’s clamping his eyes shut and pressing their foreheads together, nose to nose, soul to soul. His hair tickles Shigeo’s jaw and his knee digs into his thigh, but it doesn’t matter. He doesn’t mind. The coral hues sing; the golds roar. “Please don’t. Please don’t do that to me,” his partner teeters, and the watermelon seeping into his skin is now tainted with harsher reds, deeper magentas. He can tell Teruki is trying so hard to keep it light, to keep it gentle and comforting for him—controlling an aura when emotions are high is one of the hardest things in the world. And yet he’s holding his partner, who is crackling apart at the seems in every sense of the word, and all that seeps from him is a little fear that get snuffed out instantly upon exit.

How different was liveblogging back then from now? i thought it was a largely unmodified activity ie ranting about a match/player, memes etc.. ? gen question !

Oh my sweet sweet anon... I don't think I can accurately describe what being part of footyblr in the immediate aftermath of the 2014 WC was like. Liveblogging hasn't changed much in these 10 years, that's true, but there's a distinct atmosphere nowadays, at least for me.

I may be wrong, but I do have the impression the average fanbase was a bit younger back then (I was 20 and I remember feeling a bit 'old'), which in turns means we all felt a bit more... free to be silly, and stupid, and post nonsense. You also have to understand how tumblr worked in the early 2010s, and if you don't, just look up for a classic SuperWhoLock shitpost from that time and you'll get the feeling. Footyblr in 2013-15 was an amalgam of the usual tumblr experience from the time with football banter. I remember people creating fan slides like "Introduction to Bayern München" with each slide dedicated to explaining a particular player through stupid catchphrases and memes, fanfiction floating around everywhere, people taking silly meme formats from that time and mashing them together with football slander. Everything we did and wrote and shared would be deemed "cringe" by nowadays standards.

And yet we were much more free to truly express ourselves. Back then we understood unconciously that football fandom is just... fandom. We understood we weren't better than TV Shows fandoms or band fandoms. We didn't take it that serious and even though we definetely had our hated players and teams (and that part we took very, very serious) I do have the feeling it was... funnier. And lighter. And less important. Not to say everything was rainbows and butterflies because some people used to be unbearable, but in the end we were just all a bunch of teenagers and YAs talking shit on the internet and nobody took it like it was rocket science as some people do nowadays.

Also it was way crowded. There used to fandoms of virtually every single team. Though there still may be - It's likely that I just don't follow enough people anymore.

if they were brave enough to have the pop trolls/poppy double down and actually become the antagonist in world tour, like. Let her be the one who tried to unite the trolls under pop and repeat history. maybe I could've liked it better

Some of Winter's assholery not great but like he was totally justified being passed about having his mind taken over and some big scary dragon literally attempting genocide against his whole tribe but everyone's like woah chill out grouchy like ummmm shut up maybe he deserves to be kind of passed off here.

Y'ALL SEE THAT

i really hate to post something like this because it's so fucking navel gazey but honestly i'm so impressed with myself. i decided to do promptober two weeks ago. i planned the whole thing in advance because october is going to be very busy in my personal life but i love you guys and i love writing. so i FUCKING GOT IT DONE. (well, almost, four more to write). some of these fics are honestly some of my favorites of anything i've written ever. they range in length from 1k to 4k+. they cover every character i write for. i know you have to wait until october to read them, so thank you for being patient with me. engagement and interaction hasn't been the same and i often worry if you all are tired of me, but i promise if you stick around you will be rewarded.

anyway, love you! i hope you take a moment to day to tell yourself that you're doing a great job, because you are. love you <3

I apologize if this is strange on a Horny Blog (tm) but I just really really wanna compliment your work. The line weight, your sense of anatomy, perspective, everything feels so damn ALIVE and it draws the eye to all the right places and just feels so dynamic, I don't really know how to compliment without rambling but I am of full sincerity in the admiration of what you do.

oh wow um,, thank you ! damn, thats actually pretty nice of you to say, i have no idea how to reply um,, and its not strange ! i dont know oh god qjehhchfhyhvujvuhh um agh i think its just kinda weird that out of all the amazing artists out there,,, why me? i mean you literally just listed a bunch of reasons as to why but i can name like 50 people who do it better than me so i dont know ahadhadh ignore me. but thank you really,, 🩷

Context: Gus Fring is basically what people think Mine is like. In the Breaking Bad Prequel, he's revealed to be gay, so thank god for that, but aside from that, Fring is focused 100% on efficiency, product, logic, etc. and his Gincarlo Esposito conveys this perfectly

Translation: If movie majima was more bonkers than in Canon, Movie Mine should have a colder machine-like demeanor than he ususally does in canon

(Also how could you not watch Breaking Bad uncultured pleb)

no i got what you were saying dont worry i understood thats just a whole lotta names i gotta read

AND LEAVE ME ALONE I HAVE THE ATTENTION SPAN OF A FRUIT FLY I CAN'T WATCH 62 EPISODESSS
