Damian + Jon: [playing Minecraft]
Dami: I've secured us some suitable living conditions. We will be safe from enemies now.
Jon: nice oneeeee now help me mine for iron plz you need armor so bad noob
Dami: don't call me that. I've killed people in real life.
Jon: ya ok noob
Dami: 😡😡
(some time later, when they return to the house) (to paint the scene: it is small, square in shape, and it's obvious Damian had no idea how to build a proper house, since a lot of it is made with dirt, which is a very convenient block but makes for an ugly.. ugly build)
Jon: aren't you like.. into art? Why did you build it with dirt??
Dami: it's about functionality right now, for safety. Tomorrow I will begin renovations. Obviously.
Jon: right..
[they enter the house. There is a chest, a crafting table, a furnace, and a double-bed at the side of the room]
Jon: omg... you put our beds together?? Omg I knew you loved me 😭😭😭😭 woooow 😭😭😭😭
Damian: [immediately breaks one of the beds to move it away to the other wall] now you've made it weird. It was for convenience.
#Hey it's me back at it again with the 4am post#they're rattling around inside my brains#in my heart the timey wimey bs never happens and they're 10 forever and being funny#me when I bring coal home to my friends at the server and place it in all the furnaces so nobody#has to go hungry or glassless#bc windows are a RIGHT in my MC society#i love mc but I played it so long ago and now it's so different and scary#so many things... daunting#anyway I wrote this last night mid-breakdown at 4am but got self conscious and didn't post it HAHAHAHA#anyway I'll release it now#he didn't mind sharing a bed with bestie UNTIL bestie made it weird#damijon#i need to cure my mental health but how can I when they're rattling around in there?#jondami#jon kent#damian wayne

(ID in alt) I literally said I was gonna post this month's ago and then never had the wherewithal to describe it and so I didn't Lmao (said with pain). But since I'm thinking of opening my commissions I figured I should remind ppl that I. Yknow. Can draw.
Lots of Steph here (I had major art block making all of these and my brain worms for her kept me going) + some sprinkles of stephcass for Cass nation to enjoy!
#dc comics#dc#stephanie brown#cassandra cain#jason todd#(yes for the teddy bear. it counts)#batgirl#batgirls#mine#< keep forgetting to tag my art as that I'm terrible 😭#ANYHOW I'm slowly getting back into drawing again after my last ipad got nuked (cant think abt that or ill cry) and i finished uni#oh yeah j finished my first year of uni btw. i went to an Olivia Rodrigo concert like a week or 2 ago. I've been busy lol#but yeah it's looking like I've got a fun summer of bottom feeding ahead of me now that I've officially been told i got passed over for that#-comic job i applied for. lol. lmao even#it's fine honestly it was a pretty daunting prospect i just have to find a way to fill the time by myself now#I've plenty of comics to read so that's nice. got wayyy into mark waids DD run recently (mostly for Chris Samnee's art)#so that's been fun! i have my empowered omnibus (embarrassing and kept under my bed <3) i have TT year 1 i have huntress and WW#uhhh i got flash 1 minute war. lots of good stuff!#so hopefully i don't go. completely feral from lack of stimulation#also hopefully commissions will be a thing i can do#godddd there's many mkre things i want to draw. i got too enamoured w my own bad theory and now I've drawn tim!bats#but unfortunately now i only want to draw tim!bats being laughed at my the batfamily bc seriously tim?? really??#< it's literally probably not going to happen but I've invested myself in this terrible future for some reason#imagine damian trying to robin for tim!bats for 1 (one) night and the next morning he doesn't say anything he just moves to bludhaven#he can't take this shit#oh so many ideas...#ANYWAY. ues. finally art. now if you like it. consider commissioning me (in 2 to 3 business weeks <3)#(no pressure)

i'm sure i am not the only one who is very concerned about the ~4 hours between when the midjourney change was made, and I knew to go opt out of it, so; glaze does not need to be on all your works to be effective. in the same way that one artist glazing all their works will ruin a broad, multi-artist dataset, glazing your works moving forward will ruin any dataset trained on you. if out of 100 comics I've posted, 10 are glazed, a dataset trained on all of my comics will not be able to make anything similar to my style. anyways. go download glaze.
#ofc a manual review of the data set could pick out anything glazed. ig the point for me is to force that manual review#though wider adoption of glaze is not a perfect or even workable solution for many. my computer is 10 years old and runs glaze but#thats pretty lucky on my part. and the '100 comics' thing isnt perfect bc. im not using glaze on my comics. it looks really bad.#and there's not a real risk of someone using my art to train a data set bc. like. cartoons exist.#like you probably SHOULD glaze everything especially from now on#but if like me the idea of trawling your entire internet presence seems so daunting youd almost sooner delete it all#posting Some poison is better than posting No poison#but most important is not being paralyzed into inaction by how daunting the task is. even if that does mean no poison#im trying out what works and what does not right now for me. and i guess my advice is that you do too even if that means making a pillowfor#lol

I just want everyone to know that in the span of 3 days, I have made 3 loads of laundry, and have a 4th already sorted and ready to go (which includes towels / blankets / bedding). I still need to fold them and put them away BUT the important part is done 🥹
#once i out them all away i need to wash my plushies too but i'll leave it for next weekend#the laundry situation was bugging me A LOT. almost ran out of socks#why is laundry the most arduous and daunting of house chores? even dishes are much easier to get through#that post about making coffee in a million steps really resonates with me#because that's what doing laundry feels like. it's not just “wash clothes and put them away”#it's gather all dirty clothing in one place -> double check my “in use” clothes to see what also needs to be washed -> separate by colour#put on the washer -> take off the washer -> check if the clothesline is empty (and empty if not)#put them on the clothesline to dry -> empty the clothesline -> bring them to my room -> sort and fold -> put away -> rinse and repeat#many many steps. putting them outside to dry takes so long and so much energy out of me ugh#(no we do not use dryers here. that's not a thing. also i've had the experience back in the uk and while very convenient#it wears the fabric down so so much. clothes nowadays are made so flimsy and terrible quality#and using a dryer ruined a few of my favourite shirts. i do miss having warm sheets straight away tho)#but yeah. adult does basic chore whomp whomp (it's hard. i get it. you get it. i'm proud of myself and everyone else who has done A Task)#darya talks to herself

my favorite thing to do you ask? reading the updates while completely ignoring the fact that the fic is ending soon 🧍🏾♀️
My current mood trying to finish liab:
#I swear every chapter I’m like OK ANOTHER 20k CLOSER TO THE END#But the healing arc is taking FORVER#Because there are so many THINGS that have to happen#So I feel like I’m crawling through this part#But after the battle starts things should progress quickly after that#Yall know how intense those chapters can get#Phew. Gunna be a mess#BUT YOURE RIGHT IT IS GETTING SO CLOSE TO BEING FINISHED!!!!#It is kind of daunting to think about not having to write liab#It’s torturing me right now so im missing some of the sentimental feelings right now#But im sure ill look back and think AWWWWWWW I MISS IT#but right now i wanna slap jet & sokka and grab zuko back the back of the neck and tell him to STAY.#Anywayyyyy…. Next chapter is going great obviously#TWO CONFIDENT THUMBS UP#You’re amazing I miss you#I hope everything goes great!!#Gabbytril4mg#LIAB#leaving it all behind#ask

The reality of being a survivor is that the person or people who hurt you might just get to live full, rich lives and leave you behind. It's a perverse feeling, and it's true that that is fucked up. It feels like they still control you even when they're out of your life, and you feel trapped. However, you still deserve to be happy, to be fulfilled. Your life hasn't ended because they stole parts of it. They will never truly be able to take the essence of who you are.
Remembering this has taken the edge off of this thought. I won't ever give my abusers that power over me ever again. They never fucking deserved that.
#recovery#abuse#abuse tw#abuse mention tw#you can ABSOLUTELY grieve and be furious. you are entitled to those emotions and i think you're right to feel that way#but don't for a second buy into the idea that you don't deserve a good life. you DO. they fucked up and that's no reflection on you#you deserve so many good things#like... i do wish i could sit down with my abusers and fucking lay into them. but that's not possible#they're living their lives without a single thought as to their actions. they probably don't care that they ruined my life#so i won't empower them further by letting their influence transcend their presence#and that's HARD to do. it take effort and it's a daunting task#i don't blame people if they find that hard to do or think about#but i want to remind you that one day it might be easier. you'll get to a good spot#i believe in your ability to heal however that looks for you

an excerpt of the newest chapter of the halfway house fic based on this past post. Enjoy :)
“Steve, come get your furry little menace! He’s chewing up my laces again,” Robin grumbled.
“Maybe if your laces are ruined, you’ll finally buy a new pair of shoes,” Steve snarked. Steve walked to the living room to find Robin attempting to tie her old Converse only to snatch back her hands every time the kitten took a swipe at the laces in question. “He’s just a baby. He wants to play.”
“He can get his own laces to play with, then. And there’s nothing wrong with my shoes. I’m not going to go buy new shoes when these are perfectly functional. And my favorite color.”
Steve scooped the kitten up even as he kept reaching for the laces and cuddled him to his chest. Steve rubbed gently behind the kitten’s ears until the kitten relaxed into tiny purrs.
“What do you think, Dustin? Should Robin get new shoes? Raise your paw if you agree with me,” Steve said. He lifted the kitten’s right paw and waved it a bit, making the kitten squirm. “See, he agrees with me.”
Robin snorted and rolled her eyes at his teasing smile. “I still can’t believe you named him Dustin.”
The kitten chose that moment to start climbing up Steve’s shirt to reach his shoulder. His tiny claws pricked at Steve’s skin through the thin fabric but they were so small, they barely hurt at all. Steve laughed as the kitten settled on his shoulder and began to mew at the top of his lungs.
“It’s not my fault he looks like a Dustin,” Steve insisted. When he brought the kitten home two days ago, Robin tried to name him something else but Steve put his foot down about it. He found the kitten, and he thought the kitten was a Dustin, so no other name was allowed.
Dustin let out another mew so loud he nearly toppled over. Steve pulled him off his shoulder with an amused huff. Dustin wriggled incessantly in his hands. Steve lost his grip on him but thankfully he had gotten him close enough to the ground by then that the fall was negligible to a cat.
“Okay, okay, we’ll play for a little while, you needy baby.”
He and Robin were waiting for payday to run to the pet store for more supplies. They were lucky that their neighbor across the hall had an old litter box that her cat had outgrown, and a couple of spare food bowls. She had even given them a few cans of wet food, cooing over the kitten all the while. Dustin, apparently, was a charming little guy. He obviously took after Steve. Robin had punched him on the arm when he said as much.
In the meantime, they were using old bits of string and a little orange ball Robin had stolen back when they worked at a mini-golf place. The kitten seemed to enjoy them well enough but Steve planned on getting him fancier playthings and some catnip. He rolled the ball across the floor and the kitten chased after it. He pounced on it, wobbly, which sent the ball rolling again for another chase. Steve laughed. Robin giggled along with him.
“He’s lucky he’s adorable. Otherwise we’d be having problems, him and I,” Robin said with a grin. Her mischievous demeanor softened slightly. “I’m glad you found him, you big old softie. Now you can stop moping so much.”
Steve ducked away when she reached to ruffle his hair.
“Yeah, yeah,” Steve said, lightheartedly. “Maybe if I do a good job with him, someone will finally let me have a kid.”
The kitten had apparently gotten bored of the ball and was attempting to climb up the back of the couch. Steve quickly grabbed him so he would damage the upholstery. He booped the kitten’s nose.
“What do you think, baby? Will I be a good dad? Be honest.”
Dustin grabbed his finger and gnawed at it while making the most precious sounds. A purring mew. Steve’s heart melted; though from what he had read, he really shouldn’t let Dustin get accustomed to using his hands as playthings.
Steve resigned himself to losing half his paycheck to cat toys.
Continue on Ao3

thinking tonight about how byan hasn't ever really travelled anywhere and basically hasn't ever left the city they were born in. like, okay yeah, they did go to south korea to meet their adoptive parents' families once, but they were two and have no memory of it. they don't even realize they've been there, that's how little memory they have of the time. and yeah, they've also been on field trips, mostly back in elementary and middle school, but the farthest those ever went were maybe to a neighbouring city if they were really lucky, and it only ever lasted for a few hours, so does that really count?
they've never been able to leave the city of their own volition and explore another place, never even stayed in a hotel, and that's something they kind of hate because they'd love to see and experience new places. ...and also cause some trouble there but shhhh
#just one of those things about them that makes me sad bc they would enjoy it sm#there's actually SO MUCH that they haven't experienced...... so many things that even most kids get to experience that they just haven't#they've definitely been tempted at least once or twice to even try hitchhiking somewhere new but like.#wow that's daunting for so many reasons. the biggest one being that they at least know the city they live in like the back of their hand#and there's a feeling of security in that which goes out the window the moment they're out of city limits#........maybe i need a little verse for that tho... where they're kinda just always on the go... living however they can#in whatever place they end up at... that could be fun. probably depressing but also fun!!#something i'll be considering now even tho it wasn't the point of this post thanks#where was i even going with this...... i guess just sadge that byan hasn't been anywhere new or seen any of the things they'd like to#━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ headcanon ⋮ danger in the fabric of this thing i made.

wake up babe new hobby just dropped (telling people i write fics almost exclusively on the google docs app just to laugh at their reactions)
#is this not a common thing#the flow is just so much better on my phone#the laptop Intimidates my brain#it’s way too daunting somehow#my theory is google docs app writing is akin to notes app writing#like. idk i just get so many more words this way!#only downside is that the formatting gets messed up so fast .#anyway#/astro posts

Do I have half unpacked boxes and bags all over my room? Yes. Do I have cleaning I still need to do? Also yes. Did I finish either of those tasks? No. But I did put up a lil photo collage, so what's it even matter
#student living#ace is a mess#i have cleaned so many things and im so tired yet there is still more to be done what senseless cruelty is this?#the problem is that im being too particular and pedantic about the cleaning so its taking longer#and it seems like a more daunting task so i dont want to start the next part of cleaning#the lil 'photo wall' down one side of my chest of drawers is a nice distraction in that regard#i still need to do my pinboard with lil tokens for my memory board that i do every year but im more particular about that so it can wait#really the only thing left to clean in my bedroom is my desk its chair and the window sill#but i also need to clean everything in the guest room that im paying rent on as well#which is part of the unpacking problem is tryna figure out where what is going#at least all of my books are done though i havent done them the last 2 years 😬#i hate unpacking for real because every time without fail im like 'i cant cus i need x organisational thing' that i then proceed not to buy#being an adult sucks man
