I hate the discourse of who Lucy should be with between maximus and Cooper Howard. Polyamoury exists guys. She can have both.

love when a period show/movie is committed enough to accurate costumes and styling that they force your to learn uncomfortable truths about yourself. A production that can make me understand there are circumstances in which I would conceivably fuck a guy in a perriwig is a production that has earned my respect.
#like we should all be forced to look at somebody in 1500s Saxony with a closet of jaunty hats and the worst little haircut in human history#and realize the sum total is somehow doing it for us#like if a qing dynasty queue has stopped giving you pause and you're like 'actually its bringing out his bone structure#they're doing it right

hello, its time once more, to brush your teeth please and thank you very much
#self care#brush your teeth#a little bit of a rant incoming. but i havent been on tumblr in a few days because a lot of stuff(mostly school. its always school. mostly)#But i didnt expect this blog to actually get notes. I set the queue up just in case somebody cared and then left for a few days. And i didn#expect for anyone to actually care. but this has been getting notes. not a lot but a few a day which is more than anticipated. And i guess#What im saying is that im really glad other people are finding this useful. So i guess ill be keeping it up. Was halfway expecting never to#Come back to this blog after i set it up but came up with all the nonsense just cause i overthink. So i guess what im really saying is#Thank you for letting me help you. Thank you for helping me help myself.#Is this uncharacteristically sappy for anything i post but especially a blog that so far is only reminders to brush your teeth? Yeah#But thats fine i think. Theres no rules anyways. Not really

Hiatus
I am going on hiatus for a bit more. I really really hoped the stuff that have been going on lately were already "sorted out" but, uhm... they aren't. I need to take a bit more time offline once again, and try to work things out.
Thank you for your patience ❤
Wren
#EDIT: I've deactivated my IG for a bit because it wasn't helping at all. I'll be back there but I need time#wren text tag#somehow issues from mid July/early August have managed to get worse. Like I'm not even surprised bc I'm used to it but GIRL . What the fuck#“it's finally summer”+“can't wait to draw!” * gets 3 hiatus in a row * maybe drawing or summer isn't really meant to be 🤨🤔#I hate having to log-in to post a hiatus message and then dissapear again when I'm supposed to post my doodles n have fun#Feels like one of those jesters that appears at luncheon to entertain the royal court and then they go missing for the rest of the month#bc I'm trying very hard not to hide in my shell + having a bit more presence here to post my artwork#and somehow I fail at both like fucking heck. How can you be so bad at this.#but in short I won't be here to answer stuff and being silly or whatever people expect me to do#because if you're here for the silly stuff. MAN. I'm am sorry but I don't feel silly at all.#Somebody once said “the horrors are never ending yet I remain silly” but I forgot the “remain silly” part#And if you're here for drawings. I don't even have time and I don't feel like drawing at all. Idk which one is worse#The bakery hangs up the “closed today” so people know they have to go to buy bread somewhere else. Same here. But it won't last a day#idk why the bread analogy. Guess I'm a birb after all#this is also the closest thing to a vent post I will ever write and I managed to say nothing at all. Vagueposting about vent. Good job Wren#tw: vent#tagging in case somebody like me needs to have some tags filtered#the hiatus will go on also a bit longer because the last few weeks my mental health suffered a lot and I know my limit#also this post was queued. If I see I can still be active before publishing I will delete it otherwise see for yourself#also queue doesn't work ig like I programmed this for 9 pm hopefully it will be up by then and not any other random time

@emmatriarchy liked for a starter !
“Honey, can ya hear me?” Rogue uttered, a gloved hand waving in front of the person’s face as she crouched down before them. They had walked into her, which had probably caused them to have quite the tumble; given the enhancements of Captain Marvel’s abilities, Rogue was quite sturdy, even if she may not look like it; capable of even knocking down the strongest of men. “Y’okay? Do ya need a doctor or somethin’?” Hopefully, she hadn’t touched them.
#emmatriarchy#( i left this super open so you can choose who you want to use! x )#verse 001. / this is my home. you're trespassing. so i'm giving you the boot. ( x men )#queue. / honey. you talk awful big for somebody who's about to get hit upside with a bear.

I genuinely get too nervous when something goes wrong in the sims. I need to do a really chaotic challenge to get out of my comfort zone
#i had a mod conflict that caused my sims to start autonomously putting food away (to use as leftovers) before other sims (who were hungry)#could eat it#it wasn’t much of a problem on residential lots but in college.. oh boy#at one point one of my sims was just standing next to the dorm chef chucking everything he’d made straight in the fridge#i was like girl are you prepping for the apocalypse?? that mac and cheese will not save you#it was more chaotic in shared housing though because the girls had to cook for themselves#and whenever i tried to have somebody serve a meal; one of the others would immediately appear to whisk the serving plate away#it was TOO much#so i removed the mods that were causing it and i’m thinking about also moving the girls off that lot because honestly it’s just not good#they keep flooding the shower room and then complaining and also for some reason everyone ignores the private bedrooms with double beds#in favour of boning down on the sofa. which is just TOO awkward for me#the composition of this household is two sisters and their respective girlfriends#so at one point one couple was banging on the couch; the sister of one of them was like ‘this isn’t going to interrupt my workout’#and was doing press-ups right next to them??? and the fourth sim was just sitting in the armchair right next to them studying#i do find it really comical but it’s obvious that a change of living arrangements is necessary#the other thing that was happening was i kept getting this bizarre glitch where my sim would reset in the middle of an action#their whole queue would empty and they’d cease doing whatever they were doing. like completely. if they were painting; the painting#would disappear. if they’d just made a plate of spaghetti it was GONE#which obviously stressed me because i was like ‘if this happens when someone is starving they might not have time to feed themselves before#they straight up die.’ i took out a bunch of mods and eventually fixed it#i think i had a mod that was for a later expansion pack than i have. i only have the super collection so anything that’s made#for apartment life can’t be in my game#i swear i didn’t used to be this neurotic about my sims. i don’t know what happened#i need to do an isbi as a palette cleanser. get comfortable with chaos again#personal

So I have a new Lusii theory after this most recent update.
What if the ancestors reincarnated as the lusii? As we saw in the update, there was a fusion of Mindfang and Spidermom which at first I believed it to be more of a "This is your personification of why you are messed up as a person" for Vriska but what if it's the same soul? What if Spidermom and Mindfang can't be separated because they are the same being in a different form?
Another thing to think about is how the Signless never had a real lusus, yet Karkat did.
The lusii even bleed the same colors as their grubs.
It makes sense to me, but what do you guys think?

every time I get to skip a queue because I'm disabled, I think back to my one guardian using that as one example of how actually it's marginalised people who are privileged. ma'am, it's because I can't stand up for that long. and it's trans privilege that I once got given vip passes, as the only working gender neutral toilet was in the vip area of the club. ma'am, it's so that I didn't get beaten up. ma'am, it's not a privilege for somebody to do something nice for you that is aiming to circumvent a danger you're subjected to. I can't skip a queue now without thinking "I wonder how many people are bitter that I can do this because they're standing in the cold for an hour", and then I think that the solution to these situations should never be to harm me, it would be to improve the venue's entrance (more metal detectors, etc) and waiting area (cover, places to sit, etc) so that the waiting experience doesn't suck enough to make anybody feel bitter upon seeing someone skip it for the sake of their health. and I don't even ask to skip btw, it's just protocol in a lot of places, and they let those with you skip it too so that you're not separated.

Americanisms that annoy the crap out of me in writing
By Writerthreads
Welcome back to another post! Today is a little rant/PSA for all of you who use American English and terminology.
When I read books that are meant to portray British characters, I get so annoyed when I read jarring Americanisms. Here’s a list of them that are especially annoying (I’m sorry):
“Pants”
Pants = underwear. Every time I read something on Ao3 along the lines of “Harry spilled a cup of tea on his pants” I immediately think of him drinking said tea in his undies which is absolutely hilarious.
Somebody who can’t afford to go to the GP/hospital??
Hello, we have the NHS which is free at the point delivery!!! #rare uk w
I had to fully stop reading a fic when a British character couldn’t afford medical care and that was a whole plot-line.
As a medical student, this scenario is fully bizarre for me to comprehend. The only situation in which someone wouldn’t seem medical attention from my pov is if they don’t want to wait for hours at the A&E
Chips/crisps/fries omfg
Chips= the fatter ones you get with fish and chips
Crisps: potato chips
Fries: the thinner ones from Maccies
Cookies vs biscuits
To this day, I still don’t fully get the cookie/biscuit thing but according to my British friends who get annoyed when I mix them up, biscuits are meant to be crunchier (eg. Chocolate digestives & jammie joggers), while cookies are softer, eg. chocolate chip cookies
Biscuits covered in gravy????
What is that. That is not a thing. The UK equivalent would be a scone (sweet, eaten with jam and clotted cream or smth like that and which one goes first is a whole debacle) or a Yorkshire pudding.
Accent/slang
Different people from different areas in the UK speak differently & have different vernacular. When who’s meant to be posh speaks in roadman talk, it’s the funniest thing ever, so please do research carefully!
Takeout
Unfortunately I do say this quite a bit, but people are saying this more in the UK now imo. Takeaway is the preferred term.
Fall
“It’s fall because the leaves fall form the treeeeees” no bro it’s autumn. I grimace every time I read this in a book set in the UK.
I could care less
Ok, then care less? It’s I couldn’t care less, which makes more sense anyways.
Fanny pack
Fannies mean something else in the UK lol. It’s a bum bag, but this term is used more now maybe?
Freshman year? College? Frats? Spring break?
We have a different education system :) uni is three years usually, colleges are halls at uni or sixth form colleges
Little annoyances:
Math: It’s maths. Mathematics.
Vacation: holiday (more interchangeable now tho)
“Line up”: “QUEUE up”
On accident: by accident
Trunk/hood: boot/bonnet (I do a weird mix and say boot/hood, my bad lol)
I drive stick vs I drive manual (learnt this from my ex). Most people in the UK (and Europe) drive manual because it’s supposedly superior
Movie: film (more interchangeable now)
Principal: headmaster/mistress
There’s probably a longer list somewhere…
Thank you for bearing with me. My friends are now subject to me saying ‘trousers’ every time they say ‘pants’, I can’t help it (help I’m getting colonised)
Also look up slang (esp slang from certain parts of London, or roadman slang), they’re hilarious and I can’t help but say some of them now (I blame my friends but honestly calling a meal a scran is so funny)
Anyways goodbye
#writing#writing tips#writers on tumblr#writing advice#creative writing#teen writer#writers block#writeblr#writers#british things#english#i’m sorry for this#but I do get annoyed sometimes and I have to go on reddit to get validated by proper British people getting proper annoyed

My shoulder is still really loose after its most recent dislocation, so I haven't been able to work on any of the bigger pieces in my queue. So here's a sketchdump of some of my favorite movie and book moments when Boromir figures somebody has to be the dad of this operation. From top left:
-Teaching Pippin swordplay
-Emerging from the snowdrift after ploughing a route down from Caradhras to find a smartass Legolas while a fed-up Aragorn shouts from behind
-That moment in FotR when Boromir the military strategist is the first to run to the door of Balin's tomb when the Orcs show up
-When he realizes Frodo is slowly and quietly succumbing to hypothermia on Caradhras and shakes him out of it.
Dead center is an indulgence for all of us, because a) we get to see Aragorn in his jammies but not Boromir, and that's just real sad, and b) Boromir deserves more smiles. I 900% referenced this from a still of Richard Sharpe looking at Teresa. Who is he looking at with this expression? Your OC, probably, after that one scene. You know the one, you dirty beast.
#lord of the rings#lotr#boromir#legolas#frodo#pippin#aragorn#sean bean#fellowship of the ring#tolkien#jrrt
