Fic: A Bad Hand (Part of A Full Deck Series)
Fandom: The Quarry
Pairing: Travis Hackett/Laura Kearney
Rating: E as in Explicit for Everyone.
Summary: Another moment in the 80s, Laura wears a swimsuit. Travis is a little overwhelmed.
Warning(s): Dirty thoughts, masturbation, self loathing
Notes: Takes place between Chapter 4 and 5 of 'The Cards We Are Dealt.'
Preview:
"No, absolutely not!"
Vicki looks at the suit then back at Laura, "Why? There's nothing wrong with it."
"Nothing wrong with it? It's basically just strings!" Laura cries, gesturing to the bathing suit Vicki is offering her. And calling it a bathing suit is generous. It's basically just a collection of dental floss masquerading as a suit.
Vicki pops her gum and rolls her eyes, "Whatever. Prude."

really normal about this guy. i definitely think about other things sometimes 👍
#mine#bg3#astarion ancunin#baldur's gate 3#ive been practicing drawing him!!! learning how to draw men who are not. um. twenty-ish.#I THINK I'M GETTING BETTER!!!!!!!!!!#learning to incorporate the wrinkles in my style without him feeling 80 was difficult but im happy with these ones :D#i just. god i just turn him over in my mind#its the no one was kind to him why did the gods ignore him no one can love him#and hes so funny and self assured and he's a liar and he only has 10 charisma and everything about him consumes me#i want more than anything to gently lovingly wash his hair for him.

'tumblr if you snipe the quality of another post of mine im going to break into your cellar and ruin all of your wine' translation: click for better quality
80's version
#rgg#ryu ga gotoku#ryu ga gotoku 7#yakuza series#yakuza 7#masato arakawa#masumi arakawa#jo sawashiro#snap sketches#almost finished the line art of this during stream but had to run before i could complete it !!!! sad !!!!#anyway. this was supposed to look sillier- or at least jo and arakawa were supposed to look dumbfounded#idfk what happened during sketching for me to change it but this isnt terrible either i dont think. s'alright#ill mourn that alternate version tho... i wanted the vibe of a gag manga if we know what i mean#but again This Is Fine. i also havent drawn in about ten days so i should post SOMETHING to remind people i draw LMAO#maybe if i make an 80's Version of this i can go with that idea... hm....... might fit better too... we'll have to see don't quote me#you CAN throw a brick into my inbox and say you'd like to see that tho. if you want.#anyways im done looking at this i need to be consumed with existential dread again byyyyye

Sometimes being in love is like getting your eye gored in a fit of purifying violence, sometimes it's not
#I keep talking about the romance of cannibalism so much my mother has gotten so so so tired of me (my friends are more mixed)#but also she got me to watch The Hunger (1983) which was very fun and very 80s#its about consuming and being consumed!!!!!!!!!!! Eating your loved one because you cannot stand them existing outside of yourself!!!!!!!!!#being eaten because you cannot stand existing outside of your lover!!! Becoming obsessed with literally merging together in the goriest way#basically I cannot stop thinking about Hannibal (2013)#I couldn't figure out how to get Tz's horn to fit with the way I placed their heads and then I realized wough........it would be going righ#in Vris's eye if I keep their heads where they were so I just leaned in bc themes......motifs..........symbolism................#blinding and being blinded is so central to their narrative ya know#anyway. this is an unhinged amount of tags I hope you had fun reading all of them#vriska serket#terezi pyrope#vrisrezi#homestuck#hs#my art#fantasy blood#religious imagery

dishes are forever
#I MISSED HAVING A TABLET!!!!#ht papyrus#a gentle touch when you're sad#a menacing touch when it would be funny#he can do it all#LITTLE PRO TIP LIFE HACK THOUGH: IF WASHING DISHES MAKES YOU WANT TO LIVE ON A DIFFERENT PLANET#MAYBE YOU HAVE TOO MANY DANG DISHES#BEING IN A SITUATION WHERE I HAVE 80% FEWER DISHES THAN BEFORE MEANS I DO DISHES MORE OFTEN BUT IT'S SO EASY#AND NOT SOUL SUCKING AT ALL#JUST MY EXPERIENCE!!!!!! THAT'S ALL#I'm sure when i am reunited with my other dishes i will languish in bed staring at this psyching myself up to the task#but i like keeping random jars from food i bought and dishes that i picked up in different places.#they physically remind me of everywhere I've been and sometimes i just look at them and remember where I've been#my favorite is the old ratatouille jar i bought at carrefour in Chengdu#that jarred ratatouille was the nastiest food to grace this earth#i bought it in case it would make a quick easy meal (you don't really find those at the grocery store in China at least not back then)#but even my cheap lazy self couldn't eat it#so no one ever consumed that ratatouille but the jar was pretty big so i put other stuff in it and now it's my dish#and somehow the label is glued on PERMANENTLY it has never washed off after all these years#actually idk maybe it eventually did it isn't here for me to look at but it lasted a long time i know that

I think that part of what like. kills me about the whole media literacy and critical thinking aspect of enjoying media these days is that people refuse to like. contextualize that
A. Bad media can still hold significant meaning to people
B. Media made for a demographic you aren’t apart of is not inherently bad media
C. Media made for and consumed by the opposite demographic is not inherently shallow or flawed nor is it above criticism for its media tropes either.
#unimportant thoughts#i dont feel like dropping specifics in post but like. people online drive me legitimately insane#good example is Ready Player One. its an okay book but people LOVE to hate on it for being a shallow nostalgia grab for old male demographic#and like. yeah. but also comsider that it Was written earnestly by a man in that demographic? and that people enjoyed it???#and maybe im soft hearted but my Dad was a nerd in the 80’s so both of us reading that book and comparing our experiences with it and#learning about his childhood from him. it was awesome yk??? was the book groudbreaking or particularly moving? no#are there a lot of fair criticisms you can make about the book regarding its poorly written female characters and painfully male tone#throughout? absolutely. its not the most vile piece of media its barely mediocre and its not the best thing since sliced bread either#and it kills me because instead of being able to have conversations like thay#people just attack and attack and attack and ATTACK#I don’t know i think the rise of this booktook wattpad level romance smut is another big part of this#are those books incredible? no. definitely not. are they decent? yeah theyre fine enough#are their characters shallow; do they follow tropes; are the characters clearly romanticized objects for us to googoo eye over? yeah#so fucking what??? they arent winning pulitzer prizes theyre just popular online and easily accesible#people love consumbable media thats not an inherently bad thing#and i think its hypocritical for people to defend one and attack the other or even to attack both#media doesnt exist to be appropriately Deep and Meaningful before people are allowed to consume and enjoy it#like. i think theres a LOT of levels of undestanding compassion and respect that people need to reach before these conversations are worth#anything. because right now it really feels like girls and boys arguing back and forth on the playground over whos show is better#anyways. i could go on but i wont.#bottom line i suggest you take a deep look at how ‘realistic’ and ‘meaningful’ the media you enjoy actually fucking is before you start#critizing other media for being too shallow or unrealistic depictions of something#hate to break it to you guys but 90% of fictional characters are fictional and dont act like people irl ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In my palms I am holding three pathetic little creatures. Their names are Izzy Hands, Harrowhark Nonagesimus and Phileas Fogg. I just wanna wrap them in blankets and feed them soup. (Fogg is hiding under the bed, shaking. Harrow and Izzy are already biting each other.)
#ofmd#tlt#around the world in 80 days#listen i like my characters soggy and sad and slightly insane#it's time for my vacation to end i think#who is allowing me to consume media??

tbh youre so much stronger than me cuz if i get sent the world's most bad faith take on my ocs id lose my mind
oh I definitely got super upset trust me, I ranted in 3 different servers AND Ben's and Nicki's DMs about it AND Pea's askbox, I just don't value the opinion of someone who clearly doesn't know their shit AND is on anon that much
#some of it was also me just getting validation that i'm not insane for feeling this eay bc ik i was wrong about mari#ask#anonymous#me things#*way#claims to be a follower of mine. completely misses the entire point of the 80s story#like yeah buddy sure mhm you definitely have media literacy skills alright they're just not very good.#which like. i can admit i am not very good at analyzing media. mostly because i don't consume a lot of storytelling#but at least i don't parade around like i have good media literacy skills? know your weaknesses.

@ my last comment about Xal being sexualized
if you draw her with hentai girl proportions; I do not fucking trust you
If you draw her looking like an actual animated corpse; step into my parlor
#i don't have a problem with people who like her as her in game model appearance either because man she IS pretty and I'm there too#but there's this very specific art style/body proportion ratio that people prefer to consume almost EXCLUSIVELY#that tells me all i need to know about how you look at her#disclaimer: i do not have negative opinions of porn/hentai artists but if that's the only way you can stand to see her portrayed#get help#i don't trust the general cishet male WoW player fanbase#if you've ever said a slur in trade chat then you're officially banned from ever laying your eyeballs on xal in ANY manner#she doesn't even hate you you're nothing to her#you're a grey item#a level 5 trash mob that got accidentally hit by her level 80 AOE

keep tricking myself into thinking that if i just have a little more caffeine itll unlock the ability to read and retain shit, or focus on difficult and scary tasks, and then being like, shocked pikachu when it Doesnt, Again
#toy txt post#the worst is that it IS true. of all the states im going to be able to focus in. adderall+ caffeinated is most likely. its just that its#not enough to Actually replace executive dysfunction. also Dont worry im being good still and spacing it out and consuming a reasonable#amount for me. aka not usually more than 2 caffeinated drinks a day if that. Maybe 2 coffees#maybe coffee + baja blast#sometimes coffee + sunkist (lower caffeine than other caffeinated sodas. a friendly amount. i want to say like 19mg in a can?)#vs the baja blast being 59mg a can and im going to Guess Wildly my coffee is probably somewhere around 80-100mg?
