Tfw your brother and your uncle and their significant others all got their shit together and are all now in the honeymoon phase. At the same time.

So, I am currently trying to get my sketches collected and cleaned up for @amevello-blue and @alicat54cwriting 's Purple Squared and Purple Rectangle stories.

And I was gonna make these anyway, but then I realized the passage of time exists and it was Pride, and I was like. Well. I gotta. So, sneak peak?

Modern au with a strong theme of Hiccup coping with his leg better than all the people around him and it's low key pissing him off

wolcred gets to have one (1) nice little moment after prae. this is their first time properly speaking to each other as each other since Lahabrea, and the first time thancred has the opportunity to really ponder the mystery job change. (which he thinks he's responsible for. in part.)

i think misha realizes how out of it thancred really is shortly after and starts icing him out. he's also nursing his brand new scar, courtesy of lahabrea-as-thancred, which he's not really sure how to feel about. and he definitely doesn't want to put that burden on thancred so soon after they get him back. it's not sexy to have to face the consequences of your own failure permanently etched into the body of your lover!

i think the funniest thing about me as a person is that i'm often a nervous wreck and terrified of trying new things or screwing up, but my disrespect for authority is so strong that the second someone tries to suggest that i can't do something because they won't let me or don't believe i'm capable of it, it completely overwrites my anxiety and makes me determined to prove them wrong right then and there. unfortunately combined with my general impulsiveness and impatience this used to make me very easy to manipulate if you understood this about me as well as leading me to take some really stupidly dangerous risks (until i started working on my self awareness and critical thinking), but it did also lead to several very funny moments in my life where someone misplaced a lot of confidence in my inability to fight back and got their shit rocked when i stepped up and called their bluff.

i think we need to seriously stop with treating trans men as not oppressed or of a marginalized gender or as the Evil Men. like patriarchy/kyriarchy does not universally reward masculinity. it is much more complicated than that. people who are masculine in a transgressive way (trans men, butches, people who’s gender includes man but isn’t limited to it, etc) are most certainly not rewarded for it. i know a common argument is that they get the same privilege other men get but i also know even better that privilege ends the moment you disclose you’re trans. and if that privilege requires that you hide behind the mirage of a Normal Man how much of a privilege is that really?

so many of my ed mutuals are very clearly dying, and its incredibly upsetting.

if someone in your life is tampering with your food, its because they want you to live.

look, i cant force anyone to recover, but one thing that fucking jumpstarted recovery for me was thinking 'if i continue like this, how many days more do i have to live.' and at least for me that number was really fucking small compared to what i wanted to do with my life.

i cant force anyone to recover. but please, some of you are holding your own life in your hands. even if you dont want to fully recover, even if you just start harm reduction, you are the only person with the power to save yourself.

Whoooooo, fanart for @sodaspons’ “Atlas” on AO3 :D

I have a more bloody version below (plus the whole process), but definitely check out their fic if you have the chance (it has Bad Parent!Splinter, parentified older sibs and various other things, so check the tags before reading).

And now the process :D

Deadass, the lower half of the rough sketch is literally nothing like the finished version 💀

Like, Venus was supposed to be kneeling but it just ended up with her upright I guess 😭

The final sketch is very messy and I love it that way lmfao (I really should find a style that keeps it like that while still looking good when I add color ngl)

BAM. LINE ART.

And finally, flat colors + background lol

Here’s the fic if any of y’all want it :D

Damian is officially dating Jon and even with all the talk about "don't check your boyfriend's internet history" the boy couldn't hold back his own anxiety and decided to spy on what jon was looking for on the internet and the result was

"how to be friends with someone with autism"

"How do I know if my boyfriend is autistic"

"is my boyfriend autistic?"

"best dates to take your autistic boyfriend"

"best gift for autistic"

Damian doesn't know how to react

haha at first he's a little offended/hurt but then he thinks about it for a second and goes 'well, actually, that might explain a lot.'

jon comes back to even more searches about an autistic boyfriend on his computer.

I just came across your post about vagueposting and I think I agree with it, but the situation you most likely wrote it about is hardly a "vagueposting" because you could say who it was about after reading it literally one time and that person got jumped and insulted in the anon ask anyway so discussing it in person could be safer...

I'm reeeally sorry for bring up a past situation, but I don't think it's a good idea to write nasty things about another person and specific details about how they interact with the fandom and their post, say things that will help to easily identify a person and at the same time insult them or say how you think they feel about the characters or the story based on your feelings about their one take that you didn't like and then call it's "vague" because there is no name in the post. I mean, It can lead to bad consequences, it literally did in that situation.

And yes, I do think people have the right to discuss bad takes or takes they don't like, but there's a way to do it without giving away every detail about the post and the person who wrote it so everyone knows who you're talking about, and if you're not good at being vague, just discuss it in a private chat.

this ask is old but i was busy last week, so forgive me for the late response. i was debating answering it at all, but i dont want myself to be misunderstood, so just. to clarify under the cut.

i'll agree with you that the post/situation in question wasn't vagueing. now, i don't know exactly the difference between the number of followers i have and the number of followers that the blogger in question has, and when it comes to the number of active dsmp followers i think both of us have even less of a clue. that being said, both of us frequent much of the same circles, so i think it's fair to say that many of my posts will end up being exposed to a very similar audience to his, and so therefore this response about the situation you're talking about will be just about as clearly traceable to a specific person as the post he made that started the situation in question. just as a general observation.

if i'm understanding your ask correctly, while vagueing a take is fine, the vague shouldn't be clearly identifiable if you're going to speak badly about it or disagree heavily. to which i have to ask what, specifically, is defined as clearly identifiable? i think most takes in this fandom can be pretty easily traced to a person, even if that person is not the only person that believes in that take--just as an example, c!tommy as a butterfly pinned behind glass was a take in response to the c!sam and c!dream stream after techno escaped, and grew to be a pretty prominent theme to the point of a zine being modeled after it, but i can also trace it to a pretty specific tumblr post with a name attached. i also think that that same statement probably isn't true for many fans who maybe joined later on in the fandom. i mean, i'm aware that i'm being pedantic here, i'm aware that the situation in question created conflict specifically due to it being within dreblr and in a space where multiple people would've seen both posts and felt ensuing awkwardness bc they know both people either on a personal or acquaintance level, but i mean the same applied ages ago whenever strategist-interpretation and trauma-interpretation c!dream apologists felt like going at it again on the dash.

in this scenario specifically, what made the situation clearly identifiable was the nature of the take that was being discussed. the main identifying detail was the take that the asker was asked about, imo, and i mean ... yeah i mean. most takes that haven't blown up pretty heavily do end up being tied to one or two people? i mean, staged finale is a take that can be tied to three people who argued in favor of it the most before the rest of dreblr got on board only in late 2021. i simply don't think that a take that maybe only one person has argued for (which, i dont remember the statistics of the take in this situation, so i dont remember how many notes it had or how many people in total may have expressed public agreement towards it, honestly) is exempt from discussion when it is posted in a meta or analysis space as an analytical piece, which i do think applies to this take from what i remember about it and how it was tagged.

and back to the discussion of what's acceptable as far as directly responding versus vagueing, i mean, a lot of the discussion i've had on my blog (abt discourse etiquette in General in meta spaces on dreblr moreso than this specific situation, largely bc i did want to avoid commenting on a situation that 1) i really had no business in and 2) i have reason to be biased about. the main reason why i'm talking abt it now is bc hopefully enough time has passed for feelings to be less fraught and bc i want to make certain thoughts of mine clear, in case they weren't clear enough in my original posts abt dreblr and whatever) revolves around both direct responses and vagueing having their reasons as well as pros and cons, and both will likely continue to exist in analysis spaces and generally i don't think it's productive to really comment on what people can or can't do on their own blogs. in this scenario, i don't think "vagueing about one specific person in a way that may be clearly identifiable to parts of their audience" is uniquely unacceptable? a direct response very clearly would make the person in question identifiable -- outside of how it's kind of impossible to make a post vagueing someone in a way where No One has Any Idea who you might be talking about without making the post like, incoherent inherently, if vagueing (not identifiable) is okay and directly responding (identifiable) is okay, then why is vagueing (identifiable) not okay?

now, i understand that any situation where the person in question might be identifiable, some people may take the open disagreement as permission to harass them. and obviously, harassment sucks. part of the whole point of opening up this conversation on my blog was bc i worry, with the way that a single conflict between dsmp opinions has kind of rippled through dreblr recently and the responses to this "situation," that an environment is being created with too much of a forced global consensus that punishes people for stepping out of the status quo in both opinions and behavior, which is obviously bad for the whole community, and was looking to voice some of that and have a conversation on solutions. and i understand that in this situation, a lot of your problem with the blogger has to do with his general attitude in discussing the take and his statements on the person who made it. now, i think you have every right to find his statements offensive and disagreeable and to unfollow and/or block him. that being said, i am not exactly a PR agent, and i want to reiterate that what people do on their own blogs isn't my business and i don't think it should be my business. or uh, anyone's business, for that matter. i don't think that everyone "in dreblr" is beholden to keeping to a certain person's standard for "acceptable" disagreement and "acceptable" sharing of their own opinions on their own blog as long as they're not inciting harassment, which entails, like, actively encouraging harm to happen yk. i mean, you can think that the blogger was being rude or an asshole and prefer to never see him again, that's fine. that's your prerogative. but i mean, i'm not gonna tell the guy how to interact with the fandom on his own blog, haha.

to be clear, im not telling you what you can or can't do on your own blog either. if you wanna make a post about how his posts contain harmful rhetoric, how he's an idiot, or how he's rude bc you disagree with his public posts on this situation or on the dsmp as a whole, i mean, i'm not gonna handwring over it and tell you that you're not allowed to do that. it's none of my business, and i like to think i'm not that hypocritical. and honestly, i think that in a space where we're talking about analysis, commenting on harmful rhetoric happens often and should happen often when it happens -- literally anyone can make an analysis post that has harmful rhetoric, and sure it's fiction and no one has to answer to the analysis police for making a bad analysis post, but i've also been in this space and seen enough truly mind-boggling amounts of parroting takes about torture that make people sound like CIA psyops to go "well saying that someone's analysis post contains harmful rhetoric is really rude" pfft. again, i'm not saying i'm immune to hypocrisy, but i've certainly malded enough times in public about the shit people have said in this fandom to take issue with that. now, getting a little less into the strictly-analysis side of things, i understand that insults like calling someone an idiot may not sit right with everyone, to which i say. block to your heart's content. but c'mon man i've called people idiots before i'm no saint 😭😅

anyway. i hope this clarified some things, anon. take issue with whatever and whoever you like, honestly, whether that's me, the person that i just not-vagued for the last however many words, etc etc -- again, your prerogative. and i agree, it's a shame the situation devolved into stuff like insults in both bloggers' inboxes when it really didn't have to be like that like. at all.
