ghost car of barna road
track 3 - liberty belle 1/2
my manager greeted me in irish.
i blinked at the screen in mute panic. i couldn’t remember how to reply. words and languages collided in my brain. it was a car crash, baby, and in the end all that came out of my mouth was a prolonged aaah with no end in sight. a perfect visual representation would be a multilanguage tsunami, pouring out of my ears and pooling around my slippers on the dusty rug of my childhood bedroom.
i used to write those words down into a black notebook, watching you mock me from that dusty rug. you and your smug gaeltacht born grin. who would’ve thought i will forget them all by the time i’m 30.
“how did the move go?”
move. to galway. my hometown. i found my voice again and rushed out: “oh yeah! the move went okay. got here late last night. drive was smooth. not many cars around after midnight.”
“hehe, don’t get used to it. it’s a totally different story after 8am.”
we chatted for a while, arranging to meet in dublin next month when i was all settled in. won’t take long. all i needed was to get a flat, a car - did i need help with the flat? there are probably relocation programmes for employees available. no. i think i got it. did i tho?
we finished the call twenty minutes later. the fact i managed to scrape by enough words to at least tell him goodbye in irish seemed to cheer him up a bit.
i finished up some minor work tasks, sipping at the remainder of my mother’s disgusting herbal tea and took a short break to open the dusty unused storage areas of my childhood bedroom. i needed to clean up the old junk before moving in the new junk. i had to give one thing to my mother; she did an excellent job of preserving this place. if ever i managed to do something worthwhile with my life she could start charging fucking entry for this museum of fiadh kavanagh.
shaking my head i started pulling out old clothes and creating a pile on the floor. if she believed i still fit into these jeans i should be worried about early onset neurodegenerative diseases.
i was done with the columns and moving on to the hangers by the time she stuck her head in and quirked her dark eyebrows at me. “need any help?”
“mom, why the fuck did you keep all this?” i asked, showcasing fist-full of short gothic dresses. “aren’t you worried about clothes moths?”
ignoring my point she sat down on the bed, smiling. “oh, i though you might still like to keep some of it. it’s not like we need extra storage.”
“mom, look at me!” i threw another armful onto the pile, lifting my arms to indicate my age ravaged body. “how could i possibly fit into size four?! some of these are from the children’s section!”
“you look like a string, you could easily fit. it’s the cigarettes. they are not good for ya.”
i rolled my eyes. “i’m not even fucki…”
the feel of a familiar soft fabric beneath my fingertips made me stop midsentence. i pulled it out into the light with shaking fingers, heart racing against my ribcage. it looked huge in my palms. the faded graphics were barely visible in the shadowy light of my room. if you tried hard enough you could just barely make out the name of the band. distantly i heard my mom echo my name but i was stuck in the past, standing in the cold autumn rain by the open driver’s side window of your car.
“ooooh, i remember this one,” my mother said with a nostalgic smile.
i made a small sound at the back of my throat.
“it’s the donovan boy’s, isn’t it? i remember teasing him about it. i told him: young man, this is not a free laundry i run here! you know what he said to me?”
i nodded, whispering, “it’s not my fault yer daughter is a stinkin’ thief.”
she laughed. “little bastard. he was the worst influence on you. funny how he turned out. would never expect a son of deirdre donovan to make something of himself. i guess we owe it all to the wife. she…”
my body snapped back to action. i was moving away before she could say her name. putting the sweater on the bed next to her, i brushed my hands against my sweatpants and mumbled: “right, look we need to get rid of all this before i can unpack. do you know someone with skinny teenage children? ideally with a questionable fashion sense?”
“we can drive to the clothes recycling point.”
“grand! let’s do that after work.” i told her, kicking my way through the discarted clothes toward the closet and dumping whatever was left on top of the rest. “i need to get back to work now. i have a meeting in 20.”
“oh, ok. sorry.” she chuckled, standing up. “i will bring some bags to put all of this in.” she reached for the sweater on her way out and i jumped in to block her path on impulse.
“uh… where are you taking that?”
she blinked up at me, brown eyes surprised. “downstairs. i figured i could return it to the rightful owner rather than donate it to charity. although,” she giggled, pulling it apart for scale, “i doubt it will still fit him.”
she was gone before i could open my mouth, taking the sweater with her. my clenched fists unclenched with effort as i pushed the door closed and leaned my back against it. i was breathing too hard. the way you handed me that sweater through the driver’s side window on that rainy, a blast from the past; a ghostly memory. just enough to make me shudder.
#simblr#ts4 story#s:gcbr#oc:ann marie#oc:fiadh#it's adorable how gorgeous fawn believes#she looks old and ugly#hell i wish i looked like fawn#also join me in appreciating stolen garments#the best possible sweater is one you don't own#amen

me: im gonna take a break from drawing today!
also me: DRAW THESE BITCHES AS PONIES
ive literally never drawn mlp art a day in my life. What is wrong with me
#i think 8 year old me who used deviantart bases to make mlp versions of fnaf characters would be so proud rn#anyway i was actually thinking about “”lore“” while drawing this#i think maybe the soul jam would be the equivalent to the elements of harmony#even though i based sm's proportions off of nightmare moon and chrysalis#i think he and the other beasts would be more or less similar to discord#in which theyre awakened one by one and cause a bunch of problems (sm in this case would be causing chaos to entertain himself)#and they have to be defeated by the soul jam#even though it would be funny if mystic flour thanos snapped everyone again i think she would be similar to starlight glimmer in which#she kinda brainwashes everyone to become completely apathetic and lacking in any individuality#and taking their cutiemarks away and stuff . Thoughts chat?#also i am aware that men in the show have completely different proportions but i think they all look ugly so i went w the girl pony bodies#SUE ME!!!#cookie run#cookie run kingdom#crk#mlp#my little pony#pure vanilla cookie#shadow milk cookie#vanilla milkshake#shadowvanilla#pureshadow#my art#clip studio paint#2024

Read Right to Left (Manga Format)
I have returned to watching demon slayer after a year and it came up while I was having a serious late night talk with my big sister. I was talking about the relationship between Michikatsu/Kokushibo and Yoriichi and it turns out we both see each other in Yoriichi's shoes and ourselves in Michikatsu's place. Definitely surprising, but really relieving to know that we both worry too much and we are not so far apart in skill as we believe.
This is technically the first piece of fanart I've ever made for the characters in Demon Slayer, I have made OCs before but I never drew an actual character from the story. For context this is mostly just a fun "what if" scenario with them meeting in the afterlife. I like to think Yoriichi's love would reawaken Michikatsu's humanity.
#demon slayer#kimetsu no yaiba#yoriichi tsugikuni#michikatsu tsugikuni#demon slayer fanart#kimetsu fanart#kny fanart#fan comic#very much unserious note: I misread something on the wiki to my sister as Koku offing himself because he regenerated too ugly 💀#and now me and my sister have “Kokushibo moment” to denote a scenario in which we become so absolutely pathetic that we just cannot go on#Mine is if I'm still making submas content at 60 years old#Hers is me thinking she's currently having her Kokushibo moment#definitely lightened the mood and we were laughing for like 5 minutes straight#anyways Yoriichi and Michikatsu (mostly Michi) are my faves from this story because I can feel for them more than I do other characters#Also that thing in the beginning is meant to be a hitodama!! I wanted Michi to land next to Yoriichi but when I tried the shooting star ide#it did not work 💀 anyways that little wisp reforms into Kokushibo's monstrous form‚ which Yoriichi shreds apart in seconds#for the people looking for my usual submas content‚ I actually had an idea to draw them debating which twin to cosplay a few months back#Ingo said Emmet should be Yoriiichi cause he's the younger one‚ Emmet said Ingo should be Yoriichi cause he's cooler (read: better liked)#This took about 5 hours elapsed time‚ I stopped halfway through the last panel for a 6 hour nap#Also the purple just denotes which sections is close to the demonic parts‚ kinda like lighting but not quite

When I was little I thought one of our cats Sockan (translation: the sock) was a tiger. She was more bright orange/red IRL too compared to photos
#she had no voice but rather sounded like that one video of a baby lion barely getting a sound out#she demanded to be fed fish daily every midnight on her throne#(an ugly neon green wool? armchair with strange black pattern from the 70s that we couldnt throw out despite it being broken)#(because again that was sockans throne)#she was also a self identified poor little meow meow#and pretended to be hurt to make my dad feel bad so hed pay special attention to her#while acting just fine when he wasnt looking and around my mom#she was born in the super old firewood stove in the kitchen on my birthday 7 years before me#and she drew her last breath at age 21 wrapped in a blanket in my moms lap#out in the garden on the porch swing on a beautiful sunny day#so my mom was right there with her for both her first and last day#the grey cat seen vaguely to the right was her dad bamse#but he deserves his own post.#silvi talks

Another round of asoiaf "prettycourse", another round of people ignoring Arya's self-esteem issues and how it relates to her arc because their enjoyment of the series hinges on an 11-year-old being considered ugly.
#arya stark#asoiaf#fandom nonsense#/looks don't matter/ but they're the ones firing up this discourse every few weeks cause they can't handle what's written in the books#grown ass people logging on every day to talk about how Arya HAS to be ugly or her story is ruined/makes her less interesting#at what point do you get tired of being so invested in how a character (one you obviously don't like at that) is perceived?#we aren't the ones shipping her with every grown man in the series and using a predator's words to fawn over her beauty#never any discourse around a 13 year old being the most shipped character in the series nope! the real issue is that we don't#consider Arya's bullies to be the ultimate authority on her looks!#where are the essays on how Arya shouldn't have been made to feel lesser based on her looks? how she should be able to have worth outside#of her misogynistic society's standards? why is it literally ALWAYS just /Arya is ugly...that's enough analysis for today/????#if her looks don't matter then you can simply stop creating discourse around the subject and let people have whatever opinions they want

#one piece#nico robin#volume: 100#sbs#in case anyone is not in the know: this is part of a mini sbs series where oda draws the strawhats at 40 and 60 yrs old#the top half being the ''good timeline'' and the bottom the ''bad timeline''#the ''''''joke'''''' being Haha they look 'attractive' in the good timeline and 'ugly' in the bad timeline isn't that hilarious#and of course the men look more or less their age in both timelines...#...while the women stay Young and Pretty in the good timeline w/out a single gray hair or wrinkle#like how do you draw her at SIXTY looking YOUNGER than she does at THIRTY

SPIDER-WOMAN TROPES .
The Sacrifice of Hair / The Important Haircut .
To save her life and Lindsay's, Jessica must tear at own hair. Hair that we have watched grow over the last couple of years as she discovers who she is, learns what it's like to be human. What it's like to be free from Hydra's control. It goes from its natural blonde into its since signature black. It's been a part of her journey, and her literally ripping it apart here comes just two issues before her death ⸺⸺ and subsequent REBIRTH.
( the video that got me thinking about it )
#i think i might dive more into this at another point mayhaps maybe#but for now i'm keeping it short and simple#for her to come home with a new haircut and her bf be like#''omg why lol ugly'' :///#like he apologies for that later and ofc doesn't know *why* she did it#but jfc david#she then tells him she's spider-woman and he dumps her#so add that to the entering of a new era as well#(how badass is that panel of her cradling lindsay tho GKSDL#one of my all time favourite moments)#also so sorry some of the comic text is difficult to read#the scans i have are from old yellowed comic books#and trust me it looks better with this PSD over it#( c h . s t u d y . )#( c o m i c s . )#( e d i t s . )#( v i s a g e . )

I like old things. Old things means they've survived the test of time, they're still standing, or working, or fulfilling a purpose they've been made to do. I like old furniture, clothing, buildings, cutlery, pots and pans, mugs, anything old is immediately respected and beloved by me.
It also means no new resources had to be spent on making new things, because this old thing has done such a great job! It's made from resources created ages ago and still kicking, making those resources last a long time. It also means it's likely been made before the age of late capitalism, so it's likely made with heart; the quality is good, it was made to be practical and lasting, it's not going to fall apart easily, it's purpose wasn't to fulfill a need that didn't exist before the marketing team manufactured it. It's reliable, purposeful, protecting the environment and saving the new resources for as long as it lasts.
However, old things something can look a little ragged and worse for wear. They can make you seem like you can't 'afford' new things, which is terrible, to be viewed in this poor, moneyless manner. They are not made to fit aesthetic of every other item in the room, or in the environment. They don't fit the color scheme you have in the room, if your room has one. They remind you of the old times when you didn't have much of new stuff, and maybe that was a sad time for some people. Maybe they invoke pity in people who have learned to associate 'old things' with poverty.
But I don't care! I liked the old times when things were lasting, and practical, and nobody had much new things, so we had to invent ridiculous ways to play with our old stuff. I love seeing old things in use and knowing that nothing was wasted creating this, there's a tree growing somewhere that won't be cut to make a new one, there's plastic that won't need to be melted and molded and last a few years before it's dispersed into the environment. Old things being used helps the planet keep going so I love them regardless of their aesthetic or color scheme. When did it become so important for everything to look nice, instead of it being the best scenario for everyone's well being? Maybe I look a little scruffy but I know what I'm about. Impressing other people with the amount of new stuff that I could potentially have will never trump the satisfaction of me knowing that my old stuff is thriving together with the environment.
#old things#environmental#i'm writing this because my roommate looks down on old things#and it makes me SO SAD#i'm literally trying to fix everything up and clean it#and i'm working so hard to make the place look nice even though its old#and she's acting like everything is ugly and disgusting#because it wasn't just brought home from the store 5 minutes ago in mint new condition without a bruise or mark#I HATE NEW STUFF#i will never feel okay about this T_T
