#signs & wonders

[shinelikethunder]

if you're aware of the Vulture article on Neil Gaiman, there's not much i can add; if you aren't and you go looking, my only advice is that if you hit a point where you're wondering if you should bail, do so, because the details of his behavior only get more vile as it goes along.

however, one thing i WILL say is to be on the lookout for smear campaigns against the sources and/or the journalist, Lila Shapiro, in the coming weeks and months. i cannot stress enough how brave this article is. if there's one thing more hazardous to your reputation than blowing up a rich and influential serial predator in the entertainment industry, it's making the church of scientology look bad, and she's managed to do both in one stroke. remember Lila Shapiro's name, and be extremely skeptical if it suddenly turns up later this year as the target of some slimy allegation.

(reblogs are enabled again for the time being; please try to behave yourselves. this post is a heads-up, not an open mic night for your tangential hot takes or your personal feelings about gaiman's work. furthermore, tumblr's resident TERF circle-jerk is disrespectfully invited to piss off and take a long walk off a short fucking dock.)

⊹ㅤattractive things they do | octavinelle

parts. heartslabyul, savanaclaw, octavinelle, scarabia, pomefiore, ignihyde, diasomnia

characters. azul, jade, floyd

note. I kinda forgot abt this hel

pretty sure his high IQ is already pretty appealing in itself, who wouldn't want a man who plans, and nitpicks every little thing in your dates? from his attire to the taste of the cuisine (if you're lucky, that you managed to get azul really attached. he'd taste test the menu of the particular place you set the date to!) azul doesn't have a particular preference for dates, besides the need for it to go perfectly... or else.. he will explode haha. do be careful with remarks around him though, one negative comment about wherever you went has him crossing it off the list forever, you're not gonna see it again!

smells strangely good? fitting for someone who looked pristine, reserved, and crisp. it would be a worry if jade smelt like that, given perfume or cologne probably wouldn't be good for his sensitive senses. unsurprisingly, he's caught wind of your newfound fascination with your scent, and is always leaning away when you subconsciously drift closer for a whiff—lo, and behold, that is apparently his natural smell. ("fufu, do not be shy... I presumed you wanted a closer look?") <- jade cornering you when you indeed, don't want a 'closer look'.

for someone so scary, floyd is somehow very cute in the manner that he'd perk up, and immediately call out your name when he spots you. whoever had the misfortune of being the subject of his quest for fun is probably thanking you, cause the guy immediately bounded up to you without another notice. it's endearing, but makes you kind of sweat drop when you remember the absolute opposite treatment he had for you around the times you both just met. (and of course, his current one proves just how much he'll cling to you so you don't even think about... escaping, I mean... just a thought, right?)

mcyt physically disabled week day two: sign language | deafness/HoH

i did say i’d try to do at least a few days of this week! i guess this kinda counts for both prompts, since tallulah is canonically HoH? i think of her as a bimodal bilingual, or someone who speaks vocally and gesturally, so here’s a small drawing of two sign language greetings, in LSM and BSL! i just couldn’t decide which one to go with haha

Getting Lost

(part 1...maybe?)

-----------------------------------------

He gets lost. He dives into the ocean of color and sound that is his mind. Here there is no crowd, no little hands tapping on the windows for his attention, no loudspeakers announcing what humans called a "show" or monitors giving him orders to do somersaults to entertain the audience. Here there was only him and infinity.

Nothing was limited, in this space that belongs only to him, he is free. Then he thinks, he sees the world, thinks back to the past. He sees the water again, not the one in his pool, but the one that tastes like salt, the one that is never still, the one that like him does not stop, the one that forever holds the memory of his childhood. It is over there that his cradle is, over there that the world begins, because here it is not the world, because here is limited, here his body fits between four walls, immersed in filtered water and rocked by the sound of the pump hidden behind the concrete.

So in this small part of infinity, he opens a new door and loses himself in his own universe. He tells himself that if he thinks hard enough, if he gets lost far away, the sound of the pump will become that of the whales, that if he continues to dive, the tiles at the bottom of his prison will start to move like the algae of yesteryear... To stop being bored, to drown his sorrow and forget the heaviness of his fins, he gets lost.

In his world of noise and lights, nothing was and everything was at the same time, human languages were refined and distorted into familiar clicks and songs that made him think that maybe home wasn't so far away.....

And then he was taken out again, infinity moved away through an invisible harness that was once very real and left only the cage.

The day had just begun, and an uncomfortable feeling crept into him. The atmosphere was heavy, waiting for something, the humans seemed more excited than usual and they posted on the windows of his pool: "Jazz the orca will be absent today but will return soon with brand new tricks!".

Absent? Absent why? Did they want to make him undergo medical examinations? Make him learn new pirouettes so that the entries increase? No matter the plan of the humans, it made his mind disturbed and troubled. He could not get lost, not return to his world where time no longer counts. No, here he was waiting, he was spinning, he knew that his part of infinity would change for maybe the best, but more likely for the worst.

James: How do Evan and Barty usually get out of these messes?

Regulus: They don’t. They just make a bigger mess that cancels the first one out.

This is 100% vibes.

Really COOL vibes, but like...totally just vibes. I mean, there ARE thoughts in this, however asking me to articulate those thoughts would be like asking a fruit bat to write out a essay explaining the calculus they do by instinct to fly. Would be REAL incoherent is my point!

So instead of an explanation, here's another version I did in color!

Begining to get a feel for what colours work, at least to my tastes, i think!

Inkmare but I think Nightmare would be kind of 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂. Like. He'd get disappointed when after a while Ink just doesn't. puke paint. Into A KISS. They're in that level where they're getting gross like an illness that keeps getting worse until you're seeing double and are shaking and the lights are too bright, so cold but they won't give you more blankets because you have a fever. But inkmare. Yes.
