Alright I will bite. I am interested in all of them. However the one called "enough" is calling my name. This one could really be anything a romance, angst, Austin boosting readers confidence, the reader boosting Austin's confidence, hell even the ghost of Elvis is giving Austin some confidence. It could be a mystery GASP a murder mystery. Maybe of Austin getting over a really bad break up. The Reader getting over a bad break up. The Reader or Austin are finally in a good place. Alright I think I got it all.
Sorry if I'm rambling. I am not doing well. I am struggling at work.
Dear Art Lover Love, thanks for biting, as long as you donāt break the skin itās all good.Ā āEnoughā is def angsty romance... its chapter seven of my Elvis fic set in the 1960s called āThe Only Sure Thing.ā The last chapter ended with my OC leaving him after he pulled some real dark bullshit trying to get her to quit her job by intentionally having her find him with another woman, and this next chapter is about how hard it is for her to stay away from him after she left him. What I have is mainly notes....
- Elvis has the Memphis Mafia take the bed and frame Midge caught him in with the other woman and burn it in a bonfire in the back yard bc he promised her it was their bed.
- she wonāt see him, so he starts showing up at her work and she hides in the bathroom, before deciding to work somewhere else anyway
- she is strong and stays away - this is what I am struggling with, for six months, a year? i canāt decide....Ā Midge goes on a few other dates, but she is still in love with Elvis, so they donāt go well... she is just trying to protect herself and be rational/logical/smart and stay away from him.
- anyway, she runs into him at an event, a Bat Mitzvah or wedding, and he is there with Tuesday Weld, but he cuts in on a dance, and they flirt/exchange barbs.Ā
- when she gets home that night, she finds Elvis waiting on her steps and he tells her āEnough with the games, ā or something like that and carries her inside her apartment bridal style....Ā
oh god this sounds stupid as i write it .... ha.... oh well, that has never stopped me before......
I actually love your idea of murder mystery better! I wanted to write an Xmas murder mystery Agatha Christie style that took place at Graceland and the Colonel was found dead...but I didnāt have the drive to get it done. Iām sorry to hear that work is getting you down. Iām also sorry that you picked one of my Elvis fics, I can tell you have Austin on the brain - here is gif to cheer you up @artlover8992

āPeople are inherently terribleā no!!! Have you ever seen a child wait for their friend while they tie their shoelaces? Have you ever known someone who would bring hurt squirrels and rabbits and mice to the nearest vet just so it doesnāt suffer? Have you seen someone grieve? Have you ever read something that hit your heart like a freight train? Have you looked at the stars and felt an unexplainable joy? Have you ever baked bread? Have you shared a meal with a friend? Have you not seen it? All the love? All the good? I know itās hard to see sometimes, I know thereās pain everywhere. But look, thereās a child helping another up after a hard fall. Look, thereās someone giving their umbrella to a stranger. Look, thereās someone admiring the spring flowers. Look, thereās good, thereās good, thereās good. Look!!!!
#humans are good actually#humans are strange#hopecore#honey prose#respectfully do not fill my mentions w Christianity references this is NOT a capital G god friendly post#fuck the concept of original sin and also Thomas Hobbes#also for all the vet ppl in the tags saying donāt take a wild animal to the vet pls refer to ājust so it doesnāt sufferā IM A VET TECH.#THERE IS ONLY ONE THING WE CAN DO FOR A SMALL WILD ANIMAL THAT IS INJURED .#Iām talking about humane euthanasia for a creature that is clearly suffering when thereās no wildlife conservation for 60+ miles#Iāve actually never had a client that didnāt call to ask to bring it in that didnāt already know and understand euthanasia was all weād be#able to do.#thatās the kindness part. thatās the love. āI canāt do anything except make sure you donāt suffer any longer than u already have since some#asshole ran over your back legsā

as far as one piece antagonists go Crocodile truly gets absolutely scooby-dooād at unmatched levels
He immediately falls for a phone scam and from basically little garden to rainbase he doesnāt even know the strawhats are alive (and clowning towards him at incredible speed). As soon as he does, theyāre in his house tearing at his walls and bringing marines into his villain lair.
He uses a literal floor trap door over a gator pit to catch them, gets phone scammed again, full scooby-doo chase scenes after Chopper through the streets while still missing him, and suddenly his prisoners have escaped his impossible cage, and his giant bananagators are dead. and Nico Robin saw it all happen.
He then spends rest of the arc complaining about those meddling kids and their dog āstrawhat pirates and their weird petā and at no point does he even know how many strawhats there are.
Like yeah he keeps having plans on top of plans to stop everything Vivi can do but also she keeps coming up with a new thing to do (Tom and Jerry ass dynamic).
Part of it is that heās underestimating them and keeps grandstanding villain monologuing but also teens keep killing hundreds of his grand line bounty hunters and he straight up does not know what is happening.
Cause he IS trying to kill them heās sending top assassins after them and ripping out luffyās organs, the whole time heās yelling HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?? DIE. as whack-a-mole Luffy keeps inventing new ways to hit him.
#who would win: an untouchable warlord w 1000 plans and a million agents or 1 bouncy boy and his 4-10 (croco has NO idea how many) companion#he literally says like go kill all 4 strawhats and their pet thing verbatim#p sure he thinks thereās like at least a dozen strawhats by the end and more then one mr prince#sanji and chopper are basically shaggy and scooby throughout rainbase like if they had stopped for snacks instead then came & freed evryone#honestly the plans on plans is the only reason he made it as far as he did cause they were knocking through them mach 10#he was in mob boss spy thiller mode and the strawhats are NOT matching his energy#heās getting conned heās getting clowned on his mouth is punched off mid line and now someone has called the cops (marines)#sir crocodile#monkey d luffy#nefertari vivi#tony tony chopper#black leg sanji#roronoa zoro#nami#usopp#straw hat pirates#one piece#alabasta arc

I like almost never remember to draw it usually kdsjfhdjk listen. I just forgor#I always forget makeup is real#also dont ask me what's in kristen's thermos it Is usually tea but you truly never know#sometimes its soup. it can be lighter fluid. soap perhaps. hot chocolate#also if u come knocking on my door abt kristen's somatic in this piece: I wont be home#she gets to be gross especially bc shes funny and 17yo and gay. we give it to her#okay I. whoo I should lay down. finally I can move on to other things#cheers! wahoo. yahha perhaps

I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -
I am fine with "the audience" -
downloading my fics
printing my fics
copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics
sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3
making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss
doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc
I am not fine with "the audience"
doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity
feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever
Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.
Enjoy the fandom things.
#fanfic#ao3#archive of our own#fandom things#tumblr things#i may have said this at some point#i'm sure i have#but whatever - just in case#i don't say this with the presumption that i'm so amazing and people are clamoring to save my fics#but just if anyone is so inclined that's all#ftr i don't intend on ever removing my fics from ao3 or deleting fandom things from this blog#i've always shared my fandom things with the intent of keeping them shared bc that's the whole point of posting#but the fandom atmosphere and ao3 constantly being under attack who knows what can happen#not that this applies to anyone but should all else fail you can also reach out to me and i will personally give you a copy#at least of fics bc i save everything#not so much the tumblr things but this is a good reminder to myself that i should do that for the things i care about#that i've made or done and only posted here#anyway sorry i have now used up my quota of the putting words into sentences doing for today#i have plans to stare into the void now

Great news for uninsured adults in the USA who want a COVID-19 booster! It now appears that ALL CVS locations are now active participants in the Bridge Access Program. The Bridge Access Program gives out free Covid-19 vaccinations to 18+ adults who otherwise can't afford one, so if you have a CVS near you, please go get one! For others who don't have a CVS near them, please go to vaccines.gov, click on "Find Covid-19 vaccines", fill out which vaccines you prefer (you can mix different vaccines if you have to so i reccomend just marking all of them for the age groups you need), and when the next page loads mark the "Bridge Access Program Participant" option to see only locations that are Bridge Access Program participants. Hopefully, other places that aren't CVS will start participating soon, so just check back every so often to see if there are any updates. The CDC Bridge Access Program website also has more details on what locations will be participating, but only CVS is appearing as an active participant on the vaccines.gov location finder at the moment.
#covid19#covid#coronavirus#vaccines#covid vaccine#bridge access program#CDC#signal boost#please share#coronavirus vaccine#covid19 vaccine#covid 19 vaccine#novavax#moderna#pfizer#also interesting side note but i havent been able to find any vaccine other than novavax near me#perhaps this is just a regional thing or maybe novavax is cheaper to make so those are the most common?#anyway thats why i made sure to tell people its okay to mix up because im going to have to bc i got moderna every other time lol#mayyybe other vaccines will become available in the future??? but ive had close family catch covid left and right so im not waiting#also does anyone know why the bridge program only bridges access to 18 or older individuals?#like i knew the gov didnt care about children but god damn lmao

reblog not for a ābigger sample sizeā but because polls like this are a fun way to help people reinforce their own self-concept and passing it along so that other people can also have the opportunity to strengthen their sense of self by pressing a button is a cool and nice thing to do
#qwopping thru life#polls#eyesight#glasses#vision#reblog bait#reblog game#just in case people have only one of those things tagged#also Iām not sure if I need to do anything to make this poll more accessible to people with screen readers

Iām sure Dumat being defeated the same year andraste was born means nothing
Iām sure this has nothing to do with the fact that andrastes mother was part of a tribe who helped the grey wardens fight and defeat dumat the same year she was born, meaning that she could have been a fetus affected by the taint in the proximity of a dying arch demon
And the fact that nobody knows which grey warden killed dumat, as seven wardens died from injuries from his death throes, and therefore we cannot actually identify a warden who absorbed his soul, means nothing
And Iām sure it is a complete coincidence that andraste had dreams and visions of the being later referred to as the maker her whole life, and behaved strangely, talking about hearing lost voices and seeing strange auras. That absolutely doesnāt sound like anyone else we know
#dragon age#hi I donāt know if these are hot takes anymore or if Iām actually going insane#this could still work with the maker being mythal#(as in the thing that spoke to andraste. claims unverified)#thereās a theory of an 8th old god struck from record#so thereās still enough old gods to account for mythal being dumat#(the 8th old god is associated with sea monsters so that would be Ghilanānain if that were the case. which is probably one of the ones we#see escaping)#what doesnāt add up is only two escape but there would be three left if this were the case#unless corypheusā dragon WAS an arch demon and was razikale or Lusacan (which I believe are most likely dirthamen and elgarānan)#which seem to be the two candidates for the other escaped evanuris#so things could add up#in terms of mythal learning about the tainted fetus stuff she could have done that observing#but it would make sense for her to learn from practice#Iāve been feeling like thereās a huge piece missing in the deal with her and the evanuris because she talks about being denied justice#and like. solas locked up the evanuris for a good few thousand years. it might not be her idea of perfect justice but surely it would be an#attempt#but what if thatās not the betrayal sheās talking about#what if the betrayal is that solas accidentally locked her in there too#dragon age theory#tagging these so I can find them

[ID: Two screenshots from Queering the Map, taken in Kottayam, Kerala. In the first screenshot there is a map pin that says āSurely, I canāt be the only one!ā. In the second screenshot, a second map pin, very close to the first one, says, āNo you are not.ā The screenshots are from the Tiktok account @/ahecksis. End ID]
#queering the map#this literally has me on yhe verge of tears#like I know I'm incredibly sleep deprived and I'm just generaly going insane but this is...#It's the most poetic shit I've ever seen#it's the whole thing#'Surely I can't be the only one' Surely I can't be alone 'No you are not' you are not alone#it's what being a person is#mmmm :(((#words are so much sometimes /pos

they make me feel unwell
(continued: Stan & Young Ford)
#the flip side is that Grunkle Stan and Young!Ford are really funny to draw. But these two? I think about them and start sobbing#anyway been trying to draw a little Time Travel AU stuff. specifically The grunks meeting their 30-something-year-old selves#oldies in the 80s AU#if you will#its like god imagine being completely no contact with your brother and then BAM a guy who has the EXACT relationship you want shows up#and he's being really nice to you and you're pretty sure you've passed out and this is a dream but you really dont want to wake up#and on Ford's side he is suddenly face to face with this really beat up younger version of his brother and its like uh oh! Guilt!#Best behaviour time. cannot be ribbing this one like he would've been if Grunk Stan got injured.#Which only adds to the whole 'I'm bleeding out after being beaten up and this is a fever dream' feeling on Stan's side#cw injury#cw blood#i mean drawn and cartoony but still#gahh kinda want to completely redo this from scratch but tis what it tis#Gravity Falls#Gravity Falls time travel AU#time travel au#is time stuck a specific thing or general term for time travel in the fandom? I feel like its a specific thing.#like how iirc twins in time is when its the baby stans with the older ones. but idkkk idkkkkkkk!!!#GF Fan art#gravity falls fanart#fan art#fanart#Ford pines#grunkle ford#stanford pines#stan pines#stanley pines#mullet stan#young stanley pines#my art

I know those eyes.
[First]Ā PrevĀ <ā-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#wen qing#wen ning#Sibling similarity but you only see it when you realize they have the same soggy eyes.#These two always struck me as a bit of a play on Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli for 'siblings who contrast each other.#But after spending a lot more time marinating on Wen Ning I actually think they are way more similar that is initially apparent.#Sure their surface level personality traits are pretty contrastive. But they both are so willing to risk their lives for what's right#Who raised them? In a story so full of examples of how parents shape their children - why are these two lacking in parents?#I imagine that Wen Qing is the older sibling and so her morals of 'help those who need it no matter who they are' got passed a long.#But how did *she* arrive there? Was that instilled within her or was it a reaction against bearing witness to callousness and cruelty?#We'll never know..the only thing I can say for certain is Wen Qing is *so* soggy in the audio drama.#She's like the ant with the bindle. It's a hell of a way to bring a previously sharp tongued character back into the narritive.#Side note: Thank you all for being so patient and kind while I took my break!#It's been a very chaotic few weeks and I didn't realize how bad my burnout was getting. I'm back and ready to keep drawing again!

ngl, I'm beginning to take issue with how in conversations about anti-intellectualism almost automatically, the face of girls and women will be slapped on the problem.
#'all those tiktok girls who only like marvel films and' - why do you always say girls and women? are the guys filling opera halls instead?#'women in their mid 20s who still only read YA novels' okay sure that's an example and relevant discussions can be had#but it reminds me of the mocking tone in which people speak of 'chick-lit' to use women's interest as an indicator of lower value#while in fact women are reading more than men in EVERY single genre of fiction. Women are doing a lot of (often unpaid) labour#supporting libaries supporting theatres supporting cultural events#meanwhile there is a pretty big overlap between toxic masculinity and anti-intellectualism#(especially misogyny and homophobia)#especially when it comes to things like ballet or opera or musical or generally dance#in fact it is often the female investment in specific things that makes them less 'valuable' in general consciousness#for thousands of years the theatre was well-respected and a high form of art - and now it's a 'wife-thing'#the father who will teach his son that theatre and dance are for girls - how is that never an example for anti-intellectualism

I need a fic where Bruce realizes this kid who shoved his way into his sidekick roll will not be leaving anytime soon, and instead of emotionally distancing himself he becomes a combination Helicopter Mom and Shotgun Dad.
āå½”
Tim: Bruce, Iām headed out to meet my friends at the mall.
Bruce: Is that Kent boy going to be there?
Tim, rolling his eyes: Yes, Kon is going. And so is Bart, and Cassie, and maybe Bernard if he can make it.
Bruce: Hnn. Do you have everything? Coat, scarf, keys, wallet, tracker, pepper spray, dagger, kryptonite shard, emergency beacon, first aid kit, fire starter, extra pair of-
Tim: Yes, Dad! I already went through the list with Alfred. Iāll be fine.
āå½”
Kon: Hello Sir! Iām here to pick up Tim!
Bruce: Follow me.
ā¦
Bruce: Sit down.
Kon: In your study? Is Tim on the way, orā¦?
Bruce: I just thought you might need reminding of the fact that I have a vault downstairs full of items specifically designed to take down a Kryptonian.
Kon: Whuh?
Bruce: You should probably ask your father about the time I was slightly annoyed with him for encroaching on one of my cases.
Kon: Why are you telling me this?
Bruce: Now just imagine what would happen if someone were to hurt my darling little boy.
*door opens*
Tim: Hey Bruce, Alfie said Kon was here, have you seen him? Oh! Hey, why are you two in here??
Bruce: Oh, hey sweetheart, we were just chatting. Have a good time at the carnival!
āå½”
Dick, pouting: I donāt understand, youāre not this protective over who Jason or I date.
Bruce: Donāt be ridiculous, Jason and I may have our problems, but he would never betray me by gallivanting off with someone I disapprove of.
Dick, who covered for Jay sneaking out to visit Roy Harper just last night: Mhm yeah, sure. And youāre not worried about me?
Bruce: Chum, Iāve known who you were going to marry since you were 12 years old.
Dick: WHAT?
Bruce: I have the whole ceremony already planned. Iāve got Gothamās best wedding planner on standby. You have a very nice house waiting for you both, 20 minutes from here. A modest 7 bedrooms on 5 acres of land.
Dick: Iām not even dating anyone?!
Bruce: I canāt wait to meet my 3 grandbabies:)
#Tim joined his life when he was already Robin so he canāt bubble wrap him but he would if he could#Bruce is absolutely overjoyed when Tim starts getting chummy with Bernard. just a sweet civilian boy who treats his boy with respect#he thought he had a good head on his shoulders until he found out they were in a polycule with kon#donāt question why Jason is sneaking out when heās a grown ass man with his own apartment it was just funny to me#also you can choose who Dick is getting married to (because Bruce was correct) but itās Wally to me for sure#the only thing B got wrong is that itās 4 grandbabies because he didnāt account for twins#My favorite Bruce Wayne is ooc Bruce Wayne#batfam#batman#bruce wayne#robin#red robin#tim drake#nightwing#dick grayson#red hood#Jason Todd#kon el#conner kent#superboy#timkon#shut up grandpa

Giving the black brothers the authentic sibling experience:
Sirius: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Regulus: having a drink...?
Sirius, taking the glass off him and guiding him to a seat: you've already had two, you're way too young to be drinking this much, your liver will up and leave your goddamn body
Regulus: you were doing this at fourteen, I am quite literally twenty
Sirius, convinced he's still thirteen: ......I don't think you are, Lulu
Regulus: firstly, that stupid name has been overused since we were ten, secondly, you're twenty-two, so do the maths.
Sirius: *calls narcissa* important question, how old is regs
Narcissa: twenty
Sirius: *staring at him in horror* ew
