Tell me why pretty gamer boys that act all sweet and nerdy are actually filthiest motherfuckers out there

Solas' glowy lyrium dagger is very, VERY cool and I'm obsessed with it. Instantly makes me 50x more dramatic. 15/10 good job Veilguard merch team.

They are like brothers to me.

Anyhow, I drew the lads being tormented by the horrors to escape Brand Guideline Hell, loosely inspired by a fanfic I have in the works and may someday publish if I ever finish it. Please click for better quality!

Gender update: Version 2 finally out of private beta!

Major changes:

Agender, as in no fucks given. Call me a pretty boy, handsome girl, whatever.

Any pronouns. You cannot misgender me in a way that matters.

Keeping the cis guy presentation for now, it's not like i have enough time for that anyway

Minor changes:

Not coming out IRL but i will be dropping hints for those who are there to pick them up (non-binary colors and such)

Miscellaneous:

This may only be a phase. And couldn't land on a wording that was subtle yet explicit enough not to be misunderstood so yes what i'm saying is that i might realize i'm trans later. Not yet though.

Special thanks to the people who chatted about gender with me:

@the-dandy-liar @rust-official @i-love-linux-and-reject-gender @vim-artisan

Plus @alix86-64 for a single, very useful comment, and @retropieos-official for just being excited about it (that means a lot too)

The Bucktommy breakup was interesting for me because it made me both like and dislike Tommy more.

Why I like Tommy more: Tommy and Buck really cared for each other. It wasn't something casual to them. It was 6 months. Tommy could see himself falling more and more into Buck and didn't want to risk getting hurt. When Buck got to Eddie's it's obvious he was devastated too. I will say as a Buddie truther: I assumed they were still casual even after months of dating. I was wrong and own that.

Why I like Tommy less: Tommy was so condescending to Buck with his explanation of the break up, like he frequently was during their relationship. It's not that Tommy couldn't have different insight into Buck's subconscious intentions, but if he believed Buck wasn't ready for something serious, why did he stay in their relationship for so long? While I personally believe 6 months is soon to be moving in, it's not outlandish if a good fit. Also Buck has had previous issues with not being taken seriously, and Tommy came off extremely dismissive like Buck didn't know any better, and I didn't like that.

Even as a Buddie truther, I lean against that Tommy was referring to Eddie regarding "your last", but if that is the correct interpretation, it's odd he stayed in this for so long when their co-dependency is obvious from a mile away. Maybe it was serious for Buck and not for Tommy, but the second things could get long-term Tommy bounced and appeared to have defined reasons. He said he didn't expect to break up that night, but I believe it had crossed his mind before.

Also, we know Buck prefers to be called "Buck" and not "Evan". Tommy used it as a term of endearment and Buck appeared to accept it, so I wasn't critical of using that name. But when Tommy flips the switch from romantic to platonic and calls him "Buck" the second they broke up, reaffirming they were done, it came off really rude to me given that term of endearment was so easily removed. It feels like he said it pointedly, and if I was Buck I'd be very hurt.

I would say that, considering his history, he's not that wrong, but even I have doubts as to whether that would be right. But at the end of the day, this is just a joke that's been in my head for a while, sooooo…eh.

Oh hey, an attempt at a comic? Made by me? That I didn't give up during the process or lost all motivation? What was my only attempt at this, 2019? Damn, it's been a long time.

I thought about leaving this here without editing or any colors, just the natural ones from the paper and pencil. But something in my head said "HAHAHA, no" so I went back to work. I had to put this idea down on paper this time (literally). If another year passes without me being able to execute this idea, I would lose my mind.

This scenario was inspired by this video by Jehtt, inspired by the original meme by Windii. Credits to both of them.

For a long time I wanted to joke - especially on the anniversary - that I wanted Sammy to only have less than 5 seconds in the next game (or in other words, take his screen time in DR, and shorten it even more). You know, just for the funnies (unless..?) But,thanks to the news released at the beginning of January this year about The Cage, I legally can't do this joke anymore…this year. Don't worry, after that comes out (and finally gives Sam the screen time he wants,hopefully) and we start to crawl into the Bendy 3 production era, I'll make this joke when I can.

Anyway, happy birthday Sammy Lawrence. You may not be my favorite character in this franchise, but there are some things I can actually appreciate about you. Plus, you made me laugh a few moments before (you know what I'm talking about) so there's that.

And happy 7 years to Chapter 2, and by extension, Susie, Norman, Alice, the Searchers, (Johnny????), and Beta Ink Bendy. (I would mention Jack too, but he was only introduced with the release of CH4, so technically it's not his birthday yet, but I'll consider him here).

And now? May I be able to do something for CH4's anniversary. Wish me luck,cus I'll need it.

(it might be really late now, but it's still the 18th where I live, so it's still his birthday, so I still won)

Camilo is so shorter than Mirabel 😭😭😭

[chatdae]

love how the older skaters in the senior division give Yurio encouragement and that each time it pisses Yurio off. JJ is intentionally condescending so that makes sense, but with Viktor and Yuuri they're not even being condescending. Yurio's just dialed in on being a hater... and i love that for him <3

[bikerbutchbait]

that cute gasp and those fast breaths against your ear when you slip your fingers into a butches cunt, feeling how fucking soaked they are for you >>>>

Thing about the podcast ep is that I knew all this and it was clear to me back then why they did this, so seeing them say it's the biggest mistake they made just because haters say so is unfair. Once again they prove to be better people than I ever could be and I admire them for being this honest and vurnerable on the internet. Not many people would do it, now I wish people actually watched what they had to say but we know haters are gonna hate and misinterpret things, because watching a 16 minute video with understanding was beyond the haters, not mentioning a video that is over one hour long going over every criticism. That's probably too much to ask.

On one hand I wish this didn't stir up the emotions I still apparently had about this (that hate they got is so overblown and people are racist for no reason), and I sort of wish to have discovered them after all of this goes down so I could be "haha what drama". Then again being a fan back then allowed me to go and see them on a liveshow three days after this and it is my best memory of this year that I wouldn't change for the world.

It's complicated. I love them and want them to succeed and not pivot to the haters. I also think that the goodbye youtube video is a cinematic masterpiece and while the dip in quality of the shows since travel season is barely noticeable, it's heartbreaking to know they will sacrifice quality and what they set out to do because some people on the internet told them to do so. I don't think they should do it but then again what do I know. This ruined my day and showed me that I need to maybe touch grass and not be as invested in this. They will be fine without my stupid fucking blog posts.

Anyway hopefully they will be fine and this will make people realize that they are really not the supervillains they made them out to be. I knew they weren't, so quite possibly I was not the target audience for this. Hopefully they will regain the viewers they lost since I guess that's the point of it, and many said that they'd needed an in depth explanation of them. Since now you got it I hope you're happy.

Happy December yall! I bestow upon you all that remains to be posted of A Major Diplomatic Incident (part 1). It's going to take some revision, so I'm not posting it to ao3 yet, but this gets us to where I'm leaving off. The other chapter is the actual reason Elrond came to visit: post-Worst Road Trip, they invite him over to see Maglor. If he's going to be niceys about it. Both to Maglor and to Annatar.

…It was Tar-Glóriel who found Maglor in the first place. If it turns out he's literally Sauron, Elrond is going to blackmail Celebrimbor into letting him take Maglor to Lindon after all. At least for a year or two at a time.

This decided, Elrond ends the awkward pause with, “I suppose so. Mostly I'm just confused.”

“Tell me about it,” says Tar-Glóriel, tipping back over to put his head in Celebrimbor’s lap.

Elrond finds, despite himself, that he is smiling. His evil cousin-in-law, who feels about Celebrimbor the way he feels about Gil-Galad, thinks of him as a Maia. Not a half-Elvish Man or a half-Mannish Elf; not half-anything at all. What else would you be? 

And Elrond’s voice reminds him of… what might honestly be one of the worst days of his infinitely long life. He can’t imagine it was fun in itself, but given what it led to, Morgoth must have been very upset. Thinking about it, he says, “That must not help with the urge to murder me.”

“It really doesn’t!” Tar-Glóriel complains, making the shadows dance, “But I'm being nice about it, because I am capable of self-control.”

Celebrimbor laughs and puts his hand in Tar-Glóriel’s hair, saying, “And I appreciate it, love, thank you for not attacking my friend.”

“Yes, I am the embodiment of kindness and grace, you know,” says Tar-Glóriel, sparkling again; Elrond is beginning to think that’s what he does when he’s teasing. If “teasing” is a thing that a being who could plausibly be literal actual Sauron can be said to do. 

…If Elrond treats him like an enemy now - after being allowed to see him being so affectionate, so intimate, without further provocation - well, then he’s going to feel like the asshole in the situation. He might never stop expecting the further provocation to come, but he can’t act on that expectation, because he’s positioned himself as a - an amiable distant relation. Not even that distant, depending on how he’s counting! It’s possible he’d be in the wrong to start a fight even if he gets definite confirmation of Tar-Glóriel’s identity.

What in all the Iron Hells has Elrond gotten himself into?

i’ll never be able to bring myself to ship spuffy. but to say that spike didn’t care about buffy is a lie. the mans was soulless and still had it in him to take buffy’s side when those who were her actual family and friends doubted her, and betrayed her!! he was her ride or die, and i don’t think buffy will ever truly understand the amount of effort and pain spike forced himself to go through because of her. buffy deserved better, but spike deserves the BEST.
