Hello!! i just discovered your blog and firstly i wanna say that your art is gorgeous! <33 and secondly, if youre still taking requests could i get a lesbian/non binary cheetah? /nf
Thank you! Cheetahs be upon ye!
#ask#art request#my art#art#lesbian#lesbian pride#nonbinary#enby#nonbinary pride#enby pride#cheetah#pride#pride art#queer#queer art#animal art#lgbtqia+#lgbtq+#critter series#/nf is one of those acronyms that i don't really understand even though i know technically what it means...i think? it's 'not forced' right#(sorry if that's not actually what it stands for. apart from tumblr i'm very much under a rock when it comes to most internet stuff)#it's more the phrase itself that confuses me. or moreso amuses me i suppose#'not forced' sounds like something someone who is definitely *not* being threatened by a secret enemy spy would say#'hi fellow spy friend of mine. you know where we keep our secret stash of money haha /nf' <- absolutely being forced via enemy spy blackmai#what you obviously mean by /nf: hey don't feel pressured to do this :) this is a polite request#what my brain decides to read it as: dear god! it's secret code! someone is holding them hostage and forcing them to ask for art. D:#but i do appreciate you adding it just in case. but if you're polite and kind in your words than an ask never sounds demanding to me :)#anyway sorry for getting COMPLETELY off track. forgive my silly little mind. we're here for pride critters#AND WHAT A GREAT CRITTER CHOICE for those flags my friend. they worked really well :D hope you enjoy#id in alt

this is canon iirc so im not sure it counts but demi (both -romantic and -sexual i think. aroace spec swag) nomi is something that can be so personal actually. im done spamming ur askbox now i promise
nomis such a love letter to the iwatex fandom... like, theyre the 'weird kid' that so many other stories would have made fun of, but not iwatex!!! in iwatex theyre the coolest character ever bc of those same qualities!!! theyre soo everything to me
#ill get to the other requests tomorrow :3 or thursday .. well see!!! <333#iwatex#i was a teenage exocolonist#iwatex nomi#iwatex nomination#fanart#NOMI I LOVE YOUUUU !! NOMI NOMI AUGHHHH#i like to think that the reason theyre the only character to label themselves (to my knowledge) is that like.. in the shows that they watch#theres characters that come out as demi and ace !! and so theyre like Woah im just blorbo from shows !!! bc it brings me comfort to think#that in the future like. ace and demi were just .. like !! they didnt have the WOKE shows that the stratospheric had kids watch !! they wer#on the helipause !! so like !! for there to be a story out there ! where a character(s) come out as ace/demi !! and for that story to be#put on helipause - the last place where youd expect queer stories to be - would mean that ! those identities had come more into the public#eye than they are now and such .. and for them to be a normal part of media !!! you know ??? idkkk#it brings me comfort to think that its just like. normal. in the future. evn for the helios. idk!!!!#also sidenote i was so so scared of having nomis confession to rex when i saw that an achievement was about having them do that#bc i was scared itd be aphobic or smth. or like. dismiss their identity. but !!! it didnt !!! and it was such a cute scene#probs one of my favs in the game tbh . like its SO cute and so accepting !!! and rex is so sweet !!!! i love it#its so so nice and its still so accepting. not dismissive of their identity not sweet or cute or loving despite it but BECAUSE of it#aughhhh !!!!! dies and explodes into a hundred small pieces

#i am a firm switch!eris truther#i just KNOW hes a versatile switch#he could totalllyyyyyy be a mean rough dom#super controlling and kinky like we already KNOW he can conjure fire cuffs and hes deffff good at degrading- etc#but i also could see him as a service top or pleasure dom who can be a lot gentler and focus on praising you#or just pleasuring u in general#but i ALSO see him as like a BRATTY sub like this man is practically BEGGING to be put in his place#he teases and talks back like he's the shit but the next thing u know he's whining and bitching ab how u wont fuck him#BUT I ALSOO see him as like a very gentle or fragile sub when he's exhausted or just not feeling great#beron has pretty much ruined his self esteem and his self preservation in general and i think that deep down he'd thrive#if he was being pampered and praised#like he'd turn into the male version of a pillow princess (as a wlw person i am aware that that id a wlw term but idk how else to describe)#but like he'd gen just want u to take care of him yk?#anyways yea versatile switch eris my beloved#i could take him#(not in a fight)#rose rambling#anyways plsss send sub/switch/dom eris requests i am MORE than willing to oblige#(especially sub eris there is such a painful lack of that and ik he can be one bc he told me himself)#hehe#eris vanserra#eris vanserra x reader#eris vandaddy#eris headcanons#eris vanserra headcanon

"For particularly important things, it's always more reassuring to write them down like this." - Zhang Beihai
[ID in alt text]
#my art#three body problem#3 body problem#zhang beihai#三体#章北海#i've been meaning to draw three body problem characters and actually post them on my blog for quite some time!#so if anybody wants me to draw any specific character from the series feel free to reply here or send an ask as a request!#beihai is my top favorite and he resonated with me more than i expected! i rather liked bits of consequentialist philosophical ideas in him#anyways incoming ramble/infodump in the tags about various subjects pertaining to him#all you need to know about me is that i often lurk in chinese language fandom spaces and you might see commonalities in designs#if you see fanartists draw him with the broken eyebrow and mole then that's due to the 我的三体 (my three-body) donghua adaptation!#admittedly i was introduced to the series through that adaptation years ago because it seemed rather absurd (minecraft haha) but oddly good#at least check out the third season (haven't seen the fourth one yet but that's ongoing actually) or listen to 夜航星 (night voyager)#i'm rather curious how fanartists on tumblr might tackle character designs since i mostly see the two live action adaptations here#i want to diverge my designs from any particular adaptation but my beihai design takes a lot from 我的三体!#now about beihai- i really enjoyed his characterization and i'd like to bring up a maybe unintentional parallel and foil with the eto#hopefully that's something new to add to the discussion about zhang beihai and here's what adaptations don't get about mike evans#in the book he's a character you mostly only hear about from others and he's known to be a private person#he conceals a lot of his thoughts from even people like ye wenjie + he taught the trisolarans about deceit#then his strategy to kill luo ji was to keep it low and make it seem like an accident which those obfuscations of thought parallels beihai#then evans says: “but… it's obvious now that everywhere is the same” which is similar to beihai's “it doesn't matter. it's all the same”#the contexts differ but i think they're good foils about human nature “being the same” with evans's quote being about futility#then beihai's was about how regardless of if he survived or not- someone else would be able to carry on with his work#i have many other thoughts about beihai like how chu yan's (captain of blue space) group approach with the voting contrasts beihai#while beihai tried to bear the weight of attacking the other ships in solitude- chu yan made vengeance against trisolaris a group effort#(which that action goes against how the swordholder was a solitary role instead of a group one which is neat to me!)#i'd discuss more but i think that's enough to show that i really love zhang beihai (feel free to discuss the books with me though)

THANK YOU FOR 100 FOLLOWERS~!
I hit the milestone a few days back but didn't have time to make anything. It's actually a little over 100 now! ♥
Thank you all so much! It's been fun being part of this community, even if I don't interact all that much. You've all been so kind. I hope to stick around for a while yet! ♥
#minturts#I don't know yet if I can but I might open requests later as a way of saying thank you? if I'm able-#if I do it'd likely be limited to simple things because full colored pieces take me a while#so like doodles? maybe flat colors? probably not lined and fully colored tho#I actually don't fully color things that often anyways most of the art you see is just lined and flat colored at best lol#I'm not very good at shading or doing backgrounds or anything so I usually just don't bother much oTL#but hey that also means I could hopefully get a few done while requests are open? if I get more than a few?#we shall see if it happens though life is a bit of a struggle for me right now#I actually hit 100 on Twitter/X recently too!

#random personal stuff#back on my soapbox feel free to ignore#I'm sorry - I know I harp on this a lot but#where did this 'just ask the Lord to remove that from you' (or something similar) approach to others' problems come from#and why is it so ingrained into multiple generations of women#instead of actually addressing a concern you raise you get told that#the solution to your problem is divinely-granted selective amnesia so it doesn't bother you anymore#or you get reminded that Jesus had it so much worse so any problem that you let yourself get down about is inconsequential by comparison#and I know the advice is well-meant but#...I mean when was the last time God wiped your memory on request?#when did Jesus ever make suffering a competition?#why are we more interested in sweeping others' bad feelings under the rug where we don't have to see them than in actually dealing with them#I open up about something that's troubling me and I get this kind of response and I feel dismissed!#and it's frustrating! especially from people whose struggles I try to be sympathetic toward when they talk about them#there's not a good solution but thank you for listening#I'm sorry I've been ranting but this visit puts me in a position where I can only speak my mind if it agrees with others#and I am an incorrigibly opinionated jerk and it all has to go somewhere#so I appreciate your patience with my lack of it

Me panicking because i have 9 missed calls and 5 emails talking about my absence and how "a colleague could take over for me" vs. Me knowing it's really not that important no matter how pushy a client is and that on top of it I'm underpaid and have way to much overtime so i shouldn't even care
#i have 14 hours overtime#collected within 2 weeks lol#you know how it's apparently mandatory for companies in germany to have a way track employees working time? yeah we're#the only company in the whole fucking country who doesn't do that (obviously that's not true there's probably plenty more but it's#still not right.) so we don't get paid overtime nor does it get acknowledged in any way#so technically we're not allowed to even it out (which most people try to do anyway because tf do they think they are asking us to work for#free) but I'm dedicated to not collect any more unpaid working hours so i take the liberty to leave work early this week#so today i left at 12pm (and then got home 4 hours later because another person decided to kill themselves by train. they should call me#first. or anyone else taking the train. I'm sure there'd be plenty of volunteers to do the killing if it means not another miserable day#stuck in a disgusting train). and i logged in again at 6pm today to see if i have anything important messages (stupid i know)#and i saw the missed calls and that there had been an email exchange with me in the cc talking about the 'changes' made in one of the#articles and that someone else could do that for me since i couldn't be reached and at first i felt ashamed and scared#but now it's honestly just pissing me off. that asshole can't write emails and communicate requests like normal people can he#he already called me last week about something completely stupid and acts like his matters are the most important shit in the world#fuck you if you can't wait one day you should have sent this a month earlier because i won't stay online everyday#just to see if there might be an 'important' change you want me to make Immediately. bitch.#also missed two calls from my colleague but she didn't send any messages about what she wanted so i asked her because i felt bad for not#being online and turns out she wanted Nothing. just hear how i was. JUST TEXT ME THEN???? I HATE IT HERE FUCK YOU#seriously i don't get paid enough for this to bother me so much. she probably gets 12-15€ more than me per hour#of course she doesn't care about her overtime as much as i do. i get minimum wage which is less than what I'd get if i still worked at uni#as a student assistant so fuck this shit it's really not important or worth it. from now on i'll only put in minimum effort too#sorry got carried away. rant over now i guess#void screams#work stuff

all the fun i've had writing on this blog, reblogging everyone else's artworks and fun takes on the show, the great pieces of literature i was eager to learn about because of the show, the friends i've made from the show, and that i love and hold very dear? thanks asagiri. i owe you one
#this anime genuinely means the world to me#i can't believe it's been a YEAR since i first began watching#a whole year has passed already??#my goodness#anyways#this shit sappy as hell but you know#sometimes its gotta be sappy#shoutout jaya/maeve/sewer rat/geo/kim/darl/jester/koko/anna/cheese/whoever else my brain won't allow me to remember the name of#i love you all#also on another note we've hit 900! yippee yippee#thank you all so much for everything. the requests and encouragement and community and everything else#i appreciate it more than you know

People are allowed to have different ways of dealing with the same difficulties caused by the same disability. Conflicting accommodations exist. Ask for your accommodations from the people you interact with instead of shitting on other people’s accommodations.
#this is specifically about tone tags because people seem to hate them lately#and writing out the full word is great and all but there’s a REASON tone tags exist too#plus I trust tone tags more than the full word in a lot of situations.#if someone is bothering to use a /tone tag then I can trust that they’re using it to the best of their knowledge to clarify what they mean#if someone just writes a tone indicator word like ‘genuinely’ that means nothing to me.#people say ‘seriously’ all the time and are still lying or prancing you. especially when you’re autistic and ‘gullible’#I benefit from tone tags because I know I can trust them#someone else who DOESN’T benefit from tone tags because they have trouble memorizing them (which is valid bc there are a lot)#is totally valid in their needs! and totally within their rights to request that the people around them use full words as tone indicators!#shitting on tone tags because they don’t work for you and ignoring the fact that they exist for a reason is an asshole move#but this can also be about like. mobility aids and pain medications and other kinds of meds and service dogs#people handle things differently and have different needs and as a community we should be accepting and encouraging that#rather than bringing people down because they dare experience your shared disability different from you

When it comes to completing in-person tasks, the only thing that has the ability to cut my plans short is not the weather, not the rush hour but rather my phone's battery life.
#When I say in-person tasks I mean requesting an address change on my IDs. Picking up groceries. Getting my nails done. etc#Basically today. I took the day off and had it planned to the brim starting 10am. It started raining around 2ish but that wasn't the proble#If my phone does not have battery I wouldn't know how to get home especially if today is my first time visiting some place#I had 2 appointments so everything else had to be worked around them. I got all the major tasks done for the most part but I had to pickup#cream + go to Cookie Crumbl to try their (re-released) pink sugar flavour which is also the first cookie from Crumbl + my favourite I ever#tried. Unfortunately I was 1 hour away from home via TTC when my phone hit 20% and I had to cut those plans short#I'm going to invest in a powerbank because this is the 3rd time my battery life has disappointed me. It happened in Columbus last year#when I was there for a weekend getaway and wanted to explore the city. It had started raining there too but I wanted to hit a couple more#spots before returning to my hotel and calling it a day. But I had to hurry back because nothing's worse than being stranded/lost in a new#place. And before you ask me - yes! My phone was at 100% when I left in all instances this has happened in the past year.#personal

Most desperate things the 141 boys have done for sex because I can't stop thinking about it <3
John's begged for it. I mean on his hands and knees begging for a taste. I know this man is an avid pussy pronoun user too. He has been on his knees in front of you as you sit pretty on his couch, trailing kisses up your soft belly to your tits and then back down to your thighs.
"C'mon sweet girl lemme' 'ave a taste of 'er yeah? Know she fuckin' needs me hm? Just look at tha'" as he runs a thumb of the wetness that's seeped through you thin panties, just waiting for you to say the words and let him tear them off.
He knows if anybody else in the 141 or if any of his fellow soldiers could see him now, the Captain Price practically drooling over you and sweet talking your cunt like it could hear him they would have a fit. But he couldn't care less because you looked so fucking good right now so "just let 'er 'ave what she wants alright sweet thing?"
I just know Kyle has spent 70% of his last month's pay check on hotel room because the 5 star pent house suite was the only hotel room in your area left available during the holidays. He played it cool with an arm around your waist assuring you it was fine, acting like this was the room he wanted to get, not the one he was forced to have. But if he was being forced to do anything thank god it was spoiling you.
"Don't worry 'bout it love. Just make 'urself comfortable" He'll say in a sultry sweet tone, planting kisses up the side of your neck before excusing himself to the lavish bathroom to check his bank account. He had to make sure he still had enough to buy you a nice breakfast in the morning.
And you're already layed out so pretty for him on the bed so he's not complaining about anything. Especially not the mirror situated on the ceiling right above the bed. Oh and don't you dare suggest splitting the cost, "just split your legs for me hun, 's all ya need to do"
Johnny is eager, like so so eager. When a passionate make out session on your couch got even more heated than either of you had previously expected and he now had his fingers playing with the waistband of your skirt, letting his cold finger tips splay themselves just below. When he got to the hem of your panties and began to hook a finger into the lace you had to stop him,
"Johnny"
"Yea?" He was breathless, chasing your lips when you pulled away to talk. You almost felt bad for separating but if he was going to touch you, there was one request you needed to make. You had felt his nails drag across your thighs moments earlier, it felt wonderful but they were...a little long.
"Do ya nae want this hen?" He'd ask, looking at you like you were a piece of art. Pleading with his eyes, shining like they'd spill tears if you said yes.
"No, no I want this, I want you so so much. It's just..." you trailed off
"Tell me what's wrong bonnie and I'll fix it, yeah?" his hands kept you grounded to his lap either a soft grip on you ass.
"It's just- you're nails, they're a little long" your request was nothing more than whisper.
'Oh' Johnny knew he probably should have just asked for clippers, but you felt so damn good on his lap. He could feel your warm cunt through the zipper of his jeans and with your tits brushing against his chest he couldn't bring himself to move.
You watched in shock as he just began to just tear his nails off with his teeth. Without a second thought his pointer and middle finger nails were bit off to the skin. He paused and looked at his right hand before ripping off the index finger as well.
"Johnny what's gotten into you-?"
But he's already got his hands back down your skirt. Soft finger tips slipping between your folds. "Feel better now eh?" And when you just nuzzled your nose into his neck and let out a little whimper he chuckled "I'll take tha' as a yes"
Simon swallows his pride for the first time in his life for a chance at hitting it raw. You tell him it's okay to not use protection, that you're on birth control. But you needed to make sure that he didn't have any stds seeing as they're even more of a pain when you're on birth control. Not that you don't trust him you just want to make sure and it's not a problem for him seeing as he has to get tested every other week being in the military.
He doesn't, however, have his records on him at the moment and with a girl already lying in his bed telling him he can cum inside. Plus a raging hard on, he doesn't exactly feel like running back to base to get the paper work. So...next best thing.
"Price-"
"Rare for ya to call on leave Simon, whatchya need?" Price responds, his voice cracking through the face time call, a cigar dangling from his lips.
"Sir I need..." he looks back at you, your eyes expectant and shining. You wanted him and he wasn't going to fuck this up. "Can you send me a picture of my last med check results?" He rushes out the last part, elbow on his knee and hand dragging over his face.
Price quirks one eyebrow but doesn't look like he's going to ask any questions. Unlucky for Simon though, Johnny was also in the room. His voice distantly coming through the phone,
"The feck ya need those for l.t.?" He questioned
Simon just groaned, soap's addition to this call just made it even more frustrating. But he snapped out of his frustration at the sound of price opening his file cabinet. "What part?" Price asked, dismissing Johnny with a wave of his hand.
"The-" Simon began, this was fucking embarrassing but when he looked back to you, now perched on your hands and knees, the plush of you hips resting on your ankles, he'd do anything at this point. "STD results." He responded plainly.
"Aye! No fuckin' way mate!" The sound of a chair scraping the floor could be heard as Johnny began to clammer over to his captain who pulled the sheet from his files.
"Ya didn't tell me he was in the room" Simon growled
"Ya didn't ask" Price droned
Johnny's head popped into frame "show me what she looks like ey l.t?"
"Not happening" Simon deadpanned
"Aw c'monnnn" The sergeant whined "just proud of you for finally getting some action!"
"Enough." Simon could see you biting your lip to stifle a laugh out of the corner of his eyes, a curious look in your eyes at his reddened face.
"Sent a picture to ya Simon" Price huffed, letting Johnny give him one last "good luck!" Before hanging up the phone.
You were a mess of giggles as he just shook his head and shoved the phone results in your face for you to look at. "See. Clean."
"Okay okay" you giggled, finally letting his form eclipse you back onto the pillows
"Went through a hell of a lot of trouble for ya, sweet girl" he whispered, nipping at the shell of your ear.
"I'll make it worth it" you said, kissing the corner of his lip and tangling your fingers in the back of his hair
"Christ woman" he groaned, feeling his cock twitch at your promise, "gunna' be the death a' me"

Good timezone... At the risk of sounding overly familiar, how do you(&)... become *okay* with being yourself/ves? The Dankovsky part... I feel my resolve, my comfort in my own skin, weaken whenever I hear another trite post making fun of the canon character, or call him evil and cruel and one-dimensional, emasculate him for being a dandy, etc.. Feel free to ignore my request for advice - you(&) owe me nothing. I wish you (all) a good day regardless!
-that Daniil Dankovsky anon from the previous ask
you don't have to feel so bad for asking that, daniil… in my opinion i feel like this fandom is very peculiar in how it sees many of the characters from this game… i don't really understand where daniil being "evil" comes from. but, at the same time, i don't ever see people as evil.
my advice (as well as some of my friends) is that you have to act confident and not let what everyone else is saying get to your head... for me, i've been creating a lot more art than i used to. drawing eva with a fat body like mine and loved for it. and on top of that i've surrounded myself with friends that i trust whole-heatedly and support me.
idk if any of these words help you at all... but i personally think daniil is a complex person who is worthy of love and respect and it hurts me to see how people are so cruel to him
#reggie speaks#i'm very shy so sorry it took me so long to say so little#but you're more than what people say about you.#and i found your asks to be very sweet#and know that i'm also not immune to being upset with what people say about the characters i kin#there's been a bunch of shit in evas tag that has left a sour taste in my mouth but i try to be so brave about it...#whenever i see something unnecessarily mean spirited i sometimes share it with my friends#so we can talk shit about them in a private setting without making a situation out of it. lol#and for your latest ask: i wasn't sure if you had suddenly retracted your request for my advice upon discovering im eva#so let me know if you'd prefer that i take this down!

It is possible to interact with people whom share opposing views and no this is not about pineapple on pizza. In fact, it is imperative that you learn how to be civil with some people who you may find difficult to agree with.
At work, Youngin would often tell me that the guy that trained him (Ginger) was a misogynist. I had never met Ginger, and I had very little to say on this matter. But I would ask Youngin some questions about him because I like to know the other seasonal workers a little. I ask about Ginger- first words from Youngin's mouth 'he's a misogynist.'
I asked him why he thought that. (There are many misogynists at this location, as someone that is woman-shaped I see it often, I am comparing notes.)
"We were on our way to a location and a driver was going really slowly. When he got around her he said 'fucking women drivers.' Like he was going out of his way to prove that the driver was a woman."
The last month or so, Youngin worked exclusively with me because I knew that it was a matter of time before he said something that pissed off one of the guys. He was not going to get along with people here, it just wasn't happening.
When he left, everyone wanted to know what he was like to work with. And I finally got to have a conversation with Ginger.
"I'd like to ask you something a little strange- he said that on his first day there was an issue with a driver going slowly. Can you tell me about that?"
"Oh yeah! She was going super slow and when I got around her I said 'yup- little old lady driving.' And he was like 'what's that supposed to mean?' And I just kind of dropped it, but I hear he was saying I was a misogynist over it?"
So I give Youngin some grace because he's young, he's got a social bubble that's very liberal, he has not met very many people that weren't part of that kind of scene. But he often talked about how every person here has said something that pissed him off and he seemed really surprised that I (woman-shaped queer liberal) would be okay working with all these sexist homophobes.
And I give grace to Ginger because he had no reason to think that his words would be interpreted like that. What he was saying was normal to him. This is... somewhat the culture of landscaping jobs. And its not even close to the worst thing I've heard out of these dudes mouths. (Literally had one of the dudes comment that he would like to 'motorboat' one of the pedestrians.)
It was weird for Youngin to carry that with him for the whole two months that he worked here, over a very... small comment.
Every single person I've worked with here has said something that has given me pause and I tuck it away to rant about later and then I let it go. If it gets out of hand, I talk to one of the bosses about it. I know how to contact HR. I came into this place knowing that I was going to disagree politically with most of the people that I work with because I'm coming in to a culture that is fundamentally different from my own.
If I am being frank, I find the overt bigotry somewhat better than the corporate bullshit of 'we value your contributions, but won't be granting your accommodations request out of fairness to other workers' or the glass cliff or literally being fired for my sexual orientation but phrased with 'oh you just weren't a good fit for the culture here.' I at least know what I'm getting into when I come to work. I know what not to talk about. Last time I thought I was safe to talk about something queer with my boss she blindsided me with some transphobic garbage.
Its admirable to stick up for the marginalized people in your life, but part of changing minds is knowing the time and the place to comment. I think I've changed more minds at this warehouse by being a visibly out lesbian at work than I have by making carefully crafted speeches.
That is fine. It is fine to disagree. Sometimes you have to work with racists, homophobes, and assholes. That is part of being an adult. You talk about things like... sports or TV or weather or some cool bug you saw. Finding common ground with people who are different from you in many ways is an important part of socialization and it sucks to think you have anything in common with a jackass but look- you're spending 7-ish hours with these people and at some point some of them are going to say stupid shit. You are going to say stupid shit also. I have said my fair share of stupid shit. Deal with the fact that you're all stupid shits.
And for fuck's sake, wear your hardhat.
