#the silence is lovely

[uwudonoodle]

Writing is the one activity where I prefer to have total silence. So I got a pair of earplugs. I can't recommend it enough. I can take them with me anywhere I write, and it blocks most ambient sounds and talking, so I can just live in the world of my story.

Perhaps they are enjoying themselves. But how will they know each other if they do not speak?

Tim: You can't just run around here shirtless! Where's your binder!?

Jason: Shit! Where is my...... Did you forget I'm cis?

Tim:........maybe. It's hard not to when your tits are bigger than mine

Damian: You forgot too, idiot

Jason: Why don't you wait until you're taller than my tits before you run your mouth

Bruce: I will give you each $500 right now to talk about anything else

fuck it since my birthday is in like one day i'm gonna use my birthday wish to tell y'all to look at the shit going on in southern Appalachia right now after Hurricane Helene. look at it and talk about it and spread resources about it like wildfire because nobody else fucking is and it feels like we're on our own out here.

there are people who are stranded in hazardous areas that are still safer than trying to leave by driving on the increasingly hazardous roads. i'm personally going into my third day without electricity at this point, and haven't been able to get any gas for a generator to even keep our fridge working. there are very few places with power or running water, and cell service has just barely been restored in the last hour. ground crews are working hard to repair things, but there are many, many areas that are entirely inaccessible that may not receive these fixes for several more days if not weeks. i'm afraid my own neighborhood might become one of those areas if repairs don't get to us soon, and since we're much more rural i have a difficult time trying to be optimistic about it.

we're very far inland. i guarantee you damn near everybody here was expecting a little more rain and wind like we usually get during hurricane season, if they even heard about the hurricane beforehand in the first place since most people only got about a twelve hour notice before landfall- after several major areas had already been flooded. our terrain protects us from most major weather events- most locals have never encountered a single tornado or legitimate tornado warning in our entire lives. nobody i've talked to or heard from about it seems to have had any idea that it would be this bad. everybody's wishing that they took it more seriously, but we've never, ever had to before. i've seen people comparing it to Hurricane Katrina and honestly i'm not sure if that's all too inaccurate. today while looking for a single working gas station i drove by a military helicopter parked in front of the elementary school i went to when i was little.

please for the love of god, talk about us. talk about the good memories you had here or the beauty of our mountains, and talk about how devastated we are as we watch historic structures, buildings, and entire towns get wiped from the face of the earth like they were never even there. stop dismissing us as uneducated hicks and rednecks and hilllbillies and fucking help us.

I follow you easily, without effort, I am constantly with you and I will understand. I have enough love to fill your silences.

Out of all the akuma-inspired outfits you made for the header of each episode, which was your favorite?

I can't really pick A Favorite, but I'll pick a favorite Per Season:

Season 1 -

Something about designing leggings really gets me excited lol. It's not the most complicated look (and tumblr kept trying to take it down lol) but I love when an outfit looks good, looks like the akuma, AND looks like it fits the character.

Season 2 -

I'm basic, okay? I like designing for cute girls and I like designing normal clothes themed after "heroes". Volpina let me cheat like that, and it's one of the few where I tried more than one look before deciding.

Season 3 -

This one I broke from convention because I DON'T think Sabrina would normally wear this, but going for a High Fashion look AND designing it after my own personal akuma design with make me soft for it.

Season 4 -

What'd I say about leggings? Plus I got to draw a buff girlie. I'd buy this outfit lol.

Season 5 -

...Girls rule, okay? Pretty sure we can figure out why I like this one.

don’t get how you can watch iwtv and be a sincere diehard lestat hater. like the world’s biggest lestat hater is louis and that man can’t even commit to it for more than five minutes before literally hallucinating lestat wearing a wedding ring and talking pretty to him. this show is about louis and every road leads back to lestat for that man
