I have to ask what drew vasco into falling in love with machete?

His snivelling runt ways were just that irresistable.

[shkika]

I'm curious if at some point you'd ever make a V2/W2, but even if you don't: I love your little bug so much, I wanna hug the critter because it deserves the love and affection <3. (I hope you feel better soon, by the way!!!)

Like treasure <3

Anyway sure! This isn't really a seperate au of w1 or anything! V1 and V2 used to be two bodies so of course there was another shell that ended up empty. I guess that'd be W2!

It is very much NOT alive and brainless though.

Benchtrio (and Micheal if you feel like it) exchanging cards and candies with each other :D

I rlly liked how the sketch came out so I colored it :]

[klanced]

My theory is that he plays voltron. The robot.

this would actually be the best possible outcome

[sallycinnamons]

if it weren't for tumblr i think I'd feel kind of alone in this world? even if I'm well connected in real life. the ideas and thoughts and personal feelings you guys share (+ how unapologetically passionate everyone is about their interests) is really important to me. it's nice to know that no i am not the only one, there's the friends in my phone who feel the same

What's with the shipname smartwater? Where is that from?

"Smartwater" is an old proposed alternative ship name for Percabeth, in the ship name style of using alternative phrases or combos of words rather than just combining character names - in this case, "Smart" for Annabeth and "Water" for Percy each signifying their notable "powers", and jokingly such as the brand Smartwater. In it's original form it wasn't particularly meant to be taken seriously or expected to be used.

It's come back into circulation recently as a means to specify show!Percabeth versus other iterations of Percabeth, not particularly for any reason, but the distinction does help for those being introduced to the franchise through the show only and who are wanting to avoid spoilers.

Oh, I just realized why there's not so much trolling in the internet lately, or rather, it's something people are unfamiliar with; signing up to websites is hellish, and they ask for all your personal data. Every fucking popular website asks you for your phone number, real name, double check identification, and all sorts of intrusive information to sign up. The other day I was configuring a new phone for my aunt and she would have been lost without me, there are jobs that ask for less background check than a fucking Gmail or Youtube account (which you need to use the Playstore), let alone instagram, or all sorts of stuff. Electronic banks have asked less verification from me than social media.

You can go through the hassle once (even though we shouldn't but it's a systemic issue at this point) but to open up an account for trolling and saying bullshit is too much of a hassle, unless you commit to it. There's also the fact that everything tries to be connected to your real name (it was such a process to make an alt Twitter as El Biotipo internet guy, not my real name) and real face (TikTok) now, and generations have grown expecting that, so the idea you could be some guy in the internet posting bullshit with no consequence just to rile up people and the fact that it could be fun, without the hassle of making new accounts, is lost.

So everyone thinks that when someone is posting absolute crap, they think they are being sincere (because why would you make an account on the internet just to lie???), when a few years ago, it would be just trolling.

Interesting this leads to a few places where the ancient art of Lying On The Internet For Fun is still alive; Reddit (ALL AITAs ARE FAKE, just so that you know), comment sections, and obscure forums. More interestingly, technically tumblr should be a place for that because it's one of the few places where you still can be mostly anonymous, but the average tumblr demographic is... como dicen los gringos? theatre kids? in a way, too nerdy and 'nice' to troll because that's lying and lying is bad you know

i saw the robbie williams chimp biopic yesterday by myself in an empty theater and when oasis showed up i cheered

Genuinely tickled that you decided to report back to me about it.

[transgenderpolls]

[SUBMISSION] feel free to delete this if it's too morbid: trans ppl who want top surgery, would you kill a random stranger for it? you won't get caught, and you can pick the method. 1) yes 2) depends (elaborate in a non-legally-actionable way) 3) never 4) not applicable (see results)

bruh. come on

[st6rly]

mornings with wriothesley where he kisses you awake and you two make breakfast together (while he hugs you from behind and complains about work)

wriothesley is like prime malewife material tbh. NAH BC HIM IN THAT “kiss the cook” ARPON WITH NO SHIRT- explodes 💥💥💥💥💥

OK BUT HIM AND SLEEPY GRUMBLES 😭😭 how he mutters complaints about the papers and documents that come with his line of work in your shoulder.

If I remember correctly you created Machete around 2007-2008. But when did you create Vasco? (I'm sorry of this has been asked before, I couldn't find anything)

First finished pictures of Vasco are from 2018, but even before that I had been thinking it would be interesting if Machete had had one (1) romantic relationship in his youth before he was ordained. I just didn't have a name and design for him yet.

In the earliest sketches of Vasco, he first looked a little bit like a bordercollie, then like a spaniel or a setter. He had a darker color palette as well, sort of chestnut brown with white markings, but combined with the overpowering whiteness of Machete he looked kind of impassionate and drab, so I kept making him warmer and lighter until he became the golden boy he is today. The name came later, I just thought Vasco sounded friendly and charismatic. (Also the old finnish word 'vaski' means brass and bronze, and even if it's a tedious connection and doesn't factor into their canon at all, it felt too fitting to me personally and I had to go with it).

ao3 is not a fucking library database it's not an actual fucking archive it just has archive in the fucking name and all it has is fanfiction (and other related fanworks, and also very rarely original fiction) holy shit can you guys stop comparing your shitty fanfics to actual important pieces of literature.

Hi! As a masters student in library and archival studies I was introduced to ao3 in my first semester as the, and i quote, "the classification goal of all library systems". It's one of the most advanced databases for digital information searching, a word you would more commonly recognize as "library".

Your statement about it only having fanfiction is very wrong since a lot of art is placed in ao3, I mean the tags are right here for you to look at, I pulled them up in 2 minutes.

I'm curious as to why you claim it's not an archive. For the class, here's the definition of archive from wikipedia in the first sentence: An archive is an accumulation of historical records or materials – in any medium – or the physical facility in which they are located. I'm sitting in an actual physical archive right now at one of the top universities of California. The only difference between this one, the Internet Archive, or ao3, is the content they hold. It is true that there's no literature so to speak, but we don't think there is. There isn't any "literature" on my desk right now, actually. I'm sitting next to a pile of scrap paper from 1825 that held the ramblings of the Governor of Mexico. Why would the archive have this if it isn't literature!? Because someone thought it was important. That's why we archive it.

That's all an archive is. It's just writing that we care about. Even if it is the cringiest, most obscene, self insert production, it's art. Do you not consider fanwork or fan made content to be worth keeping? You prefer you all write our stories in our head and burn our diaries later so we can be miserable on the internet like you? Art like fanfiction has not harmed you in any way and never will affect you, except you are choosing to be mad over it. I want you to ask yourself why.

[anon-exe]

I haven't been active on social media in a while and I want to get back to posting my art online cause I like 'archiving' it or whatever; Dark Precure art I posted to twitter but not here

context; first drawing is hot topic dress, second is her in what her version of her outfit would be if she was in the tropical rouge + heartcatch movie, next 3 are drawn over stock photos of anniversary plushes to draw what Moonlight and Dark would look like at those plushes cause i desperately need more merch of them to exist, and sixth drawing is with Yugame from another Magical Girl series cause they have similar energy

anon here that discovered kinks from u. it was that one fic u wrote where mello gave near lists like.... i literally told my partner that i wanted them to make lists for me after that. im so abnormal about it bro. Eroticization of To-Do Lists. also that one fic where near threatens mello with a gun made me realize ive got a bit of a gunkink but thats less realistic irl than a sexy to-do list. ugh. love u neallo bye

i love this ask so much i'm going to print this out and eat it. i can't tell you how delighted i am that the eroticization of to-do lists rubbed off on you from that fic!! like, into real life!! this is genuinely one of the most wonderful pieces of feedback i've ever received. good boy was one of my very favorite things i wrote last year— it might be behind only to have & to hurt in terms of works i completed in 2024, at least off the top of my head— because it was a really, really fun way to explore domination / submission that wasn't explicitly sexual but was still erotic / sensual. kind of like phantom thread, except different in every way imaginable.

for the gun fic i can think of at least three you might be referring to BUT my money is on compromised bc that one is the most threatening imo and also the most recent i think. whichever one it was, i'm glad you thought it was hot, too >:) i agree though gun kink seems tricky to pull off sexily irl lol. xoxo anon thank you for coming back to elaborate!!!

hi! New here. I have a question! I heard Hamilton had violet-blue mixed eyes. Do you think he had Alexandria's genesis? I mean, it's the closest to what I think it could be. Since violet eyes aren't naturally accusing and are generally the result of a mutation.

This has actually been a theory of mine for a while now! As always, we may never know for certain. But Alexandria Genesis was not discovered until around the year 2013, [x] thus of course, the people of the colonial days would not know of any proper terminology for this rare sort of diagnosis; but there are many accounts of Hamilton that would actually describe the symptoms. Fisher Ames account of Hamilton's eye color in the New York Mirror was recorded as;

The same writer remarks that General Hamilton’s eyes were grey. This is a mistake. They were of a deep azure, eminently beautiful, without the slightest trace of hardness or severity, and beamed with higher expressions of intelligence and discernment than any others I saw oscillate in the “human face divine.”

New York Mirror: A Weekly Gazette of Literature and the Fine Arts. United States, G. P. Morris, 1825.

Even though Hamilton's own grandson, Allan McLane, would go on to describe Hamilton's eyes as having taken on a purple shade—His grandfather had died years before his birth, so it is far from a first hand account, yet decently worth noting in case he may have heard it from relatives or friends of Hamilton;

His eyes were a deep blue—almost violet—and he undoubtedly presented the physical appearance of his Scotch father rather than his French mother: His eyes were deep set, his nose long, and of the Roman type, and he had a good chin, the jaw being strong; the mouth firm and moderately large.

Hamilton, Allan McLane. The Intimate Life of Alexander Hamilton: Based Chiefly Upon Original Family Letters and Other Documents, Many of which Have Never Been Published. United States, C. Scribner's sons, 1910.

To go further, other symptoms of Alexandria Genesis were noted in the link above as; “Those who have this mutation will never grow any facial, body, pubic, or anal hair (not including hair on their head, on their ears, noses, eyebrows and eyelashes). Women also do not menstruate, but are fertile”

There are no accounts of Hamilton having any noticable facial hair at all, rather the opposite in fact, where he is often described as having a young, or even feminine appearance. Additionally, if you look closely at many portraits of Hamilton throughout his lifetime, you will notice there are no signs of any facial hair around his portrayed face;

In order; portrait of Alexander Hamilton, by Charles Peale (ca. 1780), Alexander Hamilton portrait, by John Trumbull (ca. 1792), portrait of Alexander Hamilton, by Ezra Ames (ca. 1802)
