asher oh how ive missed your strangely introspective yet deeply meaningless rambling, endless supply of dirty jokes, and long track record of stealing david's items directly from his house

i love themes. i love when i'm writing and i'm like ughhh i have to come up with some filler bullshit details to go here because it's necessary to the rest of the plot but not actually very relevant to it, and then i'm like wait. i know how to make it relevant. i just have to make the details echo the overarching themes of the piece. and suddenly it stops being filler bullshit and starts being, like, foreshadowing or allegory or some cool shit like that ^w^

i die a little every time a person says whizzer/marvin's death is 'foreshadowed' in in trousers or march of the falsettos

Honestly.. the way Lando cried about Max being dangerous in Mexico’24 GP and Charles repeating that he enjoys these aggressive advances and battling it out with *his* max in the days prior to the mexican GP is giving massive WYGIG lando saying he can take max during his rut but in the end it’s charles who is the only one to be able to handle max in any kind of way

the way my brain works sometimes ..... unmatched

Because I’m still filled with glee over the confirmation that the naturalist is Tzila, I went back and looked at my post-canon Tzila fic I wrote after Midst ended. I have new satisfaction over these lines now :)

can't wrap my head around the fact that in Peaky Blinders 3x01, the children's choir sings In The Bleak Midwinter at their wedding. I mean, obviously correct doylist choice of song, but the watsonian implications behind it... Tommy Shelby why the fuck would you do that

ATP my mental health is hanging on by a thread and that thread is dependent on whether or not the Forgers stay together as a family after the mission is complete

sooooo... *twirls her hair* how many asks should i send until kuwagami art. jk as well. the real question will be: does it happen often that someone else’s art inspires you? in fandom spaces specifically

well you see it’s like a loyalty card program, every 10 asks or so you get a complimentary kuwagami

just kidding you can just breathe in my direction and I’ll be tempted to draw them. kuwagami blast! (you've caught me on a... just okay art day lol)

(people still like kabedons, right?)

anyway for my actual answer: in terms of direct inspiration, it doesn't really happen much? the last two times i did art directly based on someone else's work is probably this one from this fic, and also that time i drew art of someone else's judgment au. oh! and there's that moriohpsycho art based on this comic! (filthyguts' work is so very. hgngngghh. very good.) nothing else really comes to mind, and when i think of the other things i've been into recently there hasn't been as much opportunity for that to happen...

flex and herds = strong fixation but lmao. almost nobody else made stuff about them. nobody is surprised umineko = surprisingly i don't read much umineko fanfiction? and in terms of illustration, i certainly picked up imagery and indirect inspiration but nothing concrete enough for me to give an example... now that i think about it, i did once draw andromalius from redaction/sunny, but that was years ago, and also mostly because i was acquainted with the writer. ...i don't have that artwork on hand right now death note = didn't really get involved with the fandom + i enjoyed my own ideas well enough! ...i can't recall if i drew long-hair-L art before or after seeing other artists do it. and as for everything else the same kind of reasoning applies. didn't really get involved with the fandom or wasn't really compelled to make art in response to stuff i saw, or i just don't remember anymore.

buuuuuuut if we're opening this up to just... pulling ideas from other people? then yeah, all the time, though that kind of goes without saying when you have a creative hobby. ...it's probably going to be hard to come up with examples of this since it's more ambiguous.

there's uhhhhhh... kuwana listens to nickelback which was a @/four-white-trees invention, wasn't it? (EDIT: and @/overdevelopedglasses!) (not tagging in this post so he doesn't feel obligated to read my big ass ask responses ���) as of writing this, it's not posted but i did end up making kuwagami art based on a nickelback song so. yknow. there's that LMAO

for sawashiro and arakawa, i do sometimes go reference @/todayisafridaynight 's art to help me with my own. ("how did he draw this part of the suit? oh, like that huh? hmm" <- this kind of thing)

and um. i'm not trying to pander to you (at least not this time), but genuinely it's one of the few examples that come to mind at this moment. but when i was writing my first kuwagami fic, i could feel the influence of the ever-changing on my brain... was turning over some of your ideas there...

you remember this? (you even pointed it out in your comment on my fic, and i should've said something then, but whatever i'm saying it now)

that was absolutely because of this

(obligatory poke at anybody else reading this post that you can read passthroughtime's fic here.)

so, um. yeah. not really sure what else to add to that. pretty self evident i think. (i'm always talking about the ever-changing but i don't think i can overstate the impression it left on me at the time)

anyhow there aren't really any other examples off the top of my head! these are all recent examples so they're not so difficult to recall, but there are probably others i've forgotten...

the premonitions are telling me that something awful is about to happen that will result in me being alone forever.. guess all there is to do is. bed and blanky

I don't mean to be rude, but why tumblr? I honestly thought that Neil Gaiman and I are the only two people who still regularly use it

My roots are in tumblr, it's in my blood. My first blog would be going into highschool soon if it were a person

Honestly though I just didn't wanna deal with Twitter being a dumpster fire and this was the next best social media (that I was familiar with) for actually interacting with people lol

[brionysea]

love this shot. it's like mike is inviting them into his mind/game ("alright, wheeler, i think we found your hub") + max and dustin are the ones who step into frame. i am staring at the implications
