Favorite thing I wrote today, I Need More Sleep Edition:

Bright green grass rustled in the light breeze all around Julia's head. In this new dream, she could still taste the last concoction she drank. She felt for Khalid's hand and grasped it briefly.

"Am I still asleep?" His voice was low. She had almost lost count of how many times they’d had this conversation. Almost.

Done doing my Science exam(Online), so lemme tell u a show story, when I looked at the questions my mind just went blank.

Also went ‘’Wtf is this?’’ 

I looked at my notes and NOTHING WAS IN THE EXAM

I felt like I was gonna throw up and cry....

But then my Housemate(Also bff and classmate) came to my room to tell me sh finished her Science exam...

I told her about the situation and I SWEAR SHES SUCH AN ANGEL

SHE HELPED ME DO SCIENCE AND BRUH I WAS SO THANKFUL 

She told me that I forgot to note 3 lessons that was important for the exam and I was like ‘’Fuck my adhd T-T’’

I gave her my thanks and ordered Starbucks for us, I also gave her a tight hug because she's my angel and savior~

Moral of the story: Get urself a friend who’ll help u in times of need and who is always there for u.

Shout out to this fanart for being the reason I'm a damitim shipper!

I was aware of batcest from the main gen tag and people not liking it and tagging many batcest ships with it. I love damitim platonic relationship and decided why not lol

I mean there was a period of time I stayed away because I firmly thought of the bats as family only but if you think about it often enough you'll get curious so

This was the first fanart I saw and it made me laugh. Such a fun pic that made me jokingly ship them and you know the pipeline from joke shipping to actually shipping lololol

my first time properly drawing damian

i feel like not enough ppl are factoring in the cultural clash between laios and shuro and the many micro agressions shuro faced while being in their group. literally the name 'shuro' in itself is one

his name is toshiro 😭 lets also not forget that he has his own communication issues, in the opposite way that laios does- thats literally a factor in their argument, that his envy for laios's ability to express himself sincerely manifested as part of his distaste for him.

ig all this to say like, was their fight heart wrenching, especially when reading laios as autistic? absolutely. anybody whos ever been in laios's position knows how much it hurts to realize someone you thought was your friend doesnt actually like having you around, especially when they didnt tell you and you had no way of knowing due to not understanding their cues. but im begging yall to step back and see the nuance of this situation cause im gonna be real a lot of you are kinda just brushing over it acting like everything is toshiros fault and that hes a terrible person when in reality hes an average guy who really, really clashed with laios and it led to a very long misunderstanding due to their supremely opposite methods of communication. even laios and toshiro, after letting everything out in their fight, were able to come to an understanding and start a foundation for an actual friendship built on better communication

ok yknow what Edit: i shouldve made it even more explicit at the end of this post, i hadnt thought i would need to since i started the post with this, but i think a few too many people are missing my point so i just wanna clarify. i shouldnt have said 'really clashed' and left it at that because yeah they did, but it wasnt just their opposite methods of communication, it is also very much that toshiro was experiencing microaggressions via laios. it may have been unintentional on laios's part, but it still happened and wore him down, made it harder for him to communicate on top of both the more subtle social cues that he was raised with and his own communication difficulties. i also want to say that the fandom reaction to toshiro and the complete ignorance of this point is also racist tbh or at the very least ignorant. i understand that the anime did not cover this panel, and neither did the manga, as this was an omake, but im gonna be real with you guys. there are enough context clues within the story to clue you into this. if you didnt pick up on it thats ok, but i think this is a good lesson in picking up subtext in the stories that youre watching and/or reading. kui shouldnt have to explicitly say 'by the way laios was racist to toshiro' for this point to be understood, and at the very least, when the author portrays a character in a sympathetic light (as kui clearly does) it should make you question Why they are doing so and what makes them sympathetic, rather than youre immediate and only reaction to be 'well i hated what this guy did/said so i hate them and they suck'. idk exactly how to finish this, just. idk. question your biases and gut reactions to things you see in media and stories, and think about whether or not theres subtext that youre missing.

Short Story Time: "In A Heartbeat"

Happy Friday and good morning from my side of the world (SoCal to be somewhat exact)! Mercurial is in retrofit so things are a bit wacky (internet at my home is out, power is out…very peculiar), but I’ve been feeling…hopeful. Strangely enough. Slowly, creativity is starting to seep back into my veins little by little, my youngest is starting to get a bit more “independent” meaning he can go run…

So I watched Good Omens 😊 It is very cute, I really enjoyed the character design!

I love the contrast between Jayce and Viktor's storylines in Act 2.

Viktor, who has always been behind the scenes, ascends into a messianic, almost "celestial" figure of an utopian place.

Jayce, the man of progress, descended into Hell and returned infested by demons and apocalyptic visions.

A poetry, a tragic dance

Hello!!

First of all, THANK YOU!!! The world has been feeling harder and more hopeless to me in recent years, and individuals like yourself help more than I will ever be able to express to bring light and hope back into my world. Loving and obsessing over gems like Good Omens, and American Gods (the novel at least, I must admit I never saw the show 🙈) have always given me motivation, sparked my creativity, and made me feel so much love for this, often unfortunately cruel, world. I can't express the solace it brings to me when the creators of the things I love are thoughtful and decent human beings. So, again, THANK YOU 🫀🫀🫀

I just finished my second viewing of Season 2 and have a question for you (my apologies if it has already been asked and/or answered and I missed it)!! 

How did you select the song "Everyday" by Buddy Holly? It is absolutely perfect on so many different levels, and for so many different threads and characters, all while still encompassing the perfect feelings of this show. I always include playlists with the stories I write, and often agonize over which song is the best choice for certain moments. You had to pick one song to encompass the entirety of it, and it truly blew me away! 

Thank you this Season and for everything you do; it really does mean the world to so many of us 🫀🫀🫀

In February of 1991 (I think) Terry Pratchett and I were staying in the Chateau Marmont hotel in LA. These days it is a very fancy hotel but back then it was pretty manky and run down. We were being put up by a film company and each morning we would fax over an outline for a new version of Good Omens the Movie and each afternoon we'd go to the studio for a meeting and we would realise that nobody had actually read what we had sent over that morning. Then we would go back to the hotel and work on trying to incorporate the studio notes on the outline they hadn't actually read into what we were doing.

We worked up in Terry's room because it had heating, and it was incredibly cold in LA that February, especially cold because I was in a chalet out in the grounds and there weren't heaters or extra blankets or anything in the chalet.

And at some point in there we were talking about music, and I suggested a few scary and ominous songs that might work to signal the end times. And Terry said "What about Buddy Holly's song Everyday? It sounds so upbeat and cheerful. But what if it was about the end of the world?" And I got all excited at the idea of Everyday being the Good Omens theme song.

So it's really just there to make Terry happy.
