Meguri's ended, and that ending felt... ...lacking? But also like, soft and melancholic.

I think I like that they didn't just do a witch-snap away to have Satoko act like her "normal" self again-- that was something I questioned a bit in Sotsu, but also didn't have a huge problem with so like, it's not a big deal for me either way but

idk, just something about yeah, she's changed because of those experiences, and what happened to her, and what she was pushed into doing, but she has her friends and brother now as a support group to help her keep moving forward. Even if it's hard sometimes and sometimes she doesn't know how to move forward. As long as she has her support group, and-- hell, she has Rika too still sticking by her side through everything, she's at least not alone.

At least-- that's what I got out of it. Thoughts may change as it lays in my brain for longer.

Better ending? Worse ending? Nah. It's just-- a different ending and take on how to go about that for the characters, it seems.

Now that Meguri is done, though... I should probably schedule a rewatch of Gou and Sotsu, and then reread GouMeguri to really get my thoughts on it. ...eventually.

Ask Compilation: Advice, influences and Misc.

Apologies for taking so long on some of these, admittedly I'm much more likely to entirely forget about asks that are about me and my interests 💃 Thank you for all the questions regardless! And thank you specially to everyone who just drops nice messages into my inbox out of kindness.

I'm brazillian and a native portuguese speaker!

I'll probably return to twitter eventually, but a) I hate that place and b) It didn't make much sense to me to turn it into a BG3 account out of the blue. I am considering making an Instagram or a new twitter just to have more places where people can follow in case they don't care for tumblr, but it's just been a very busy year so far and so that's kind of low on the list of priorities. If I ever do that I'll be sure to announce it here. Have a nice day yourself!

Sorry to hear that! I've gotten a few messages before about this issue, and the problem is that since I am myself not from the US, my options are also limited :( a lot of patreon alternatives don't work for me because they either don't go through paypal, take insane currency conversion fees, or just straight up block me from signing up.

Speak for yourself, I just assume everyone I speak to online has committed some sort of atrocious crime until proven otherwise. Except for me - of course. I have never done anything bad in my life.

I still have a lot to learn! But I will basically use whatever works for me at the moment, as well as make a sincere effort to learn about musculature and anatomy so I can understand those components and how they move, instead of only knowing what they look like when still - that's how you get better at drawing from memory. Volume mostly comes from coloring and understanding light, which is it's own beast but can very much be learned from similar reference materials and observing it IRL!

My favorite places to get reference are medical diagrams, weird pictures I take of myself, 3D software (often Virt-a-mate) and questionably phrased image google searches.

My favorite artists are Jason Shawn Alexander and Sean Murphy, but I'm not sure how much of it reflects in my art nowadays! I generally seek to pick up techniques from artists rather than to emulate style.

Honestly I love that you guys generally do the thing he would hate the most: take him very non-seriously LOL

I've been in a real Chelsea Wolfe and Amyl And The Sniffers kick lately! But usually you'll also find me listening to stuff like Boy Harsher, Swans, FWF, JK Flesh Lingua Ignota, Nick Cave, David Bowie, and so on. Music for the weird gays, basically.

I went insane and wrote a 23-chapter-long-and-still-ongoing fic in like four months. But also - I'm not that good, I'm just shamelessly pretentious LOL

Hm. That's a good question, but I'm not really sure. Sincerely not trying to be a edgier-than-thou here (in fact, this has made me a little self conscious at one time or another) but a lot of art that I don't mean to be horror-y in nature at all has been associated with the genre. So perhaps I don't know what I'm doing either, LOL.

I think just leaning on making things look slightly "wrong" or "ugly" on purpose is the way, but I also find that if you just seek to depict people as they are instead of idealized versions of themselves, you will arrive at that either way.

Thank you for reading! Honestly, I'm guilty of having not read much at all since I was in my late teens, and the style I'm employing for ANE is very different from the things I would call "influential" for me, or even that I used to enjoy reading at all before. I read a lot of Chuck Palahniuk as a youth (and, no slight to people who do like him still, but nowadays I'm not sure why I ever did. His stories don't speak to me at all anymore) as well a lot of weird experimental lit that I didn't even care to remember the name of. My last book stint from one or two years ago was composed solely of historical and medical literature, and last year I got really into Cormac Mcarthy thanks to the internet.

So, all in all, I'm absolutely all over the place LOL if you put a gun to my head and told me to list my favorite books, I'd say The Indifferent Stars Above and Blood Meridian.

(Consider the reading portion of the question to have been answered above) I really really liked Beau is Afraid and think it's a really great "horror" movie. Sue me.

[novantinuum]

Ohhhh gosh... okay, so it's very, very hard to limit this to just one thing because I engage in so many different artforms. So I'm gonna select one (or maybe even a few, idk ahahah we'll see what I find) piece of work from each of my lil hobbies.

Writing

If I was pressed to make a list of the writing work I'm most proud of for any variety of reasons, then... in no particular order, here are my four picks:

Contact

This is one of the largest plotty multi-chapter fics I've actually finished- usually, if I finish a multi-chapter, it's like a series of vignettes or short one-shot like scenes. But with THIS one, I had a very specific story I set out to tell, re: Steven getting cracked and his family coming down to the wire when it comes to getting him healed, and I finished said story!

I still stand by the character work in this one to this day, and quite like what I did with the dialogue.

A Memoir of the Marks Unseen

I've already mentioned this fic recently, and that's for a damn good reason- it's intensely personal to me, and I spent the good part of a year intensively pouring over it.

I believe this fic contains some of my best descriptive prose to date.

Advocate (CW: Fic deals very frankly with the topic of attempted suicide.)

This fic isn't perfect in my mind, but I will always be super glad that I finished it up years later, because I've had it in my drafts since 2020. It was just... always the sort of story that was almost too close to home for me, ahah. I overtly had to switch the POV from Steven to Lars between outlining and actually writing this to make working on it possible. In the end, I think that was absolutely the right choice.

Also, I'm always a sucker for writing Lars POV anyways, it's actually really fun.

knowing, loving, being (CW: Fic is rated Explicit. Mind the tags.)

Specifically, I'm thinking about One scene in chapter 2 of this story. (The snippit shared here is Not explicit, no worries.)

There's one scene that was SUCH a bitch to write, and let me tell you why...

It's because I had Steven split in two during it, but made the executive decision that I did not want to give names to either component, because I don't think they'd canonically want to name themselves. I still stand by that headcanon when it comes to canon adjacent stuff. But holy SHIT is that hard to execute, especially when the scene in question involves a lot of physical blocking later on, and you have no ability to signal who is Who without constantly using epithets.

Well, I eventually came to the genius idea that I could simply lean in to this confusion and write from "both" of their POVs at once in one weird mixed up smoothie, to sort of... give that impression of the two of them seeing from each other's eyes, but in a written form. And I genuinely think I nailed it in a really creative way. I don't think I'll ever write something this technically intricate ever again, tbh.

Artwork

Objectively, I believe these are my best executed pieces. I selected one from each fandom I've been an active part of over the years.

The Gravity Falls one was for the annual Stanuary event, with the prompt "Con." The piece is titled "The Thirty Year Con" to represent Stan's journey living under his brother's name all that time.

I enjoyed playing with textures and light for that Trollhunters piece- if I were to do this piece now I think I would try to entirely paint it instead of just stopping short at colored line art, but it still looks quite vivid and striking when compared to my art today, and I still quite like the way I rendered the crystals in the back.

The Doctor Who piece is one of the few times I've genuinely taken a stab at realism, and while it's not perfect I still think it did a pretty good job at capturing Capaldi's likeness.

If I could redo a part of this piece for Steven Universe I would change how I shaded/lined the falling rose petals, but beyond that this is still my thematic magnum opus for this fandom when it comes to art. I had the concept blast into my mind like a freight train one day, and I'm so glad I managed to bring it into full fruition. I love how much metaphor I managed to pack into this one, ahah.

And then finally, I still really, really love this Legend of Zelda piece I did- I'm SO happy how the split down the center between present and past came out, and also the fire detailing.

Video Editing

So, my top four favorite edits have to be (links go to their tumblr posts):

Oh, No!

So, this is that SUF edit I did that blew up in the fandom a bit.

There's very few times where I am capable of banging out a video so goddamn fast, and this was One of those times. I envisioned the broad bones of this edit in my head while listening to the song in the car over and over, and slammed the bulk of it out over a 24 hour period. I really like how I managed to make so many clips so thoroughly relevant to the lyrics of this song, and also think I pushed iMovie to its absolute LIMITS on making this video work, LOL. iMovie really doesn't like letting you do fast slam cuts, but I formulated a fairly reliable method for doing just that while editing this, and it's one I've put to great use elsewhere in the years since.

Strawberry Swing

This is one of my first big SU edits, and probably my best stylistically, since I was still using Adobe Premiere for this and could edit out audio background noise a lot better than I can now, ahah. I think this edit sums up all of my feelings on what keeps bringing me back to this show.

I love that I got time to give pretty much every major character a moment to shine in this one, a moment to showcase their growth over the course of the show.

(love you 'till the) end of the earth

I still ADORE the beginning of this edit, and how I framed things there... If you'll notice, for every single couple I start with a very specific location shot and then a key early moment in that couple's relationship- well, those locations correspond with WHERE those early moments took place. It's their "meet-cute," of sorts.

And then also, the video begins and ends with a shot of Earth. I think that's a fun parallel too.

Dear lord, you don't want to know how hard it was to edit a relationship video like this with so few shots of Rose and Greg, though. I had to budget their shots out to make it work.

in all the universe, there’s no one else who can know what you’re going through…

This was a very interesting edit to make because it was one of the rare times that I had no lyrics to lead me- it's just an instrumental! With that in mind, I had to formulate my own "story" for the video to follow, which is harder said than done, very often.

I love what I ultimately came up with here, re: this edit basically being a chronological summary of the major sources of trauma Steven lived through over the course of his childhood. The audio voice lines are kinda rough at parts because I no longer have the tech to splice out the background noise, but I did my best, ahahah.

Cosplay

My favorite two pieces I've made myself for cosplay are these:

My 3D printed royal bow, which I literally had to set down for a good year or so because I got so frustrated while painting the details on it, LOL-

And then this cape, which is entirely hand made, with all the details machine embroidered on. All of those edges you see? I had to run every single edge through my sewing machine with a silk stitch. It took fucking forever, but god did it turn out really nice. I did this as a beginning sewer and I still am quite proud of it.

_

Think of my StrawPage kinda like a tumblr anon askbox- feel free to send me comments, questions, silly doodles, song recs, whatever! This is a replacement for the tumblr askbox because I was getting too much spam on here.

[musette22]

There's two things I've learned since joining Tumblr. One, the block button is your best friend. I know you've said this before and my god it is true. There's been times when I wanted to respond to someone but honestly it's never worth your energy or time. Two, there's this really weird idea in fandom that you can't be a fan of a celebrity or engage with anything they've done unless you've made sure they're 100% unproblematic and they've never done or said anything even remotely wrong. If they have, even if it was years ago or they apologised for it they should be cancelled and if you continue to like them after this, obviously that means you're a horrible person too. If I want to engage with a celebrity's work I am not going to do a super thorough background check to make sure it's morally ok for me to like them. What next, you can't interact with anyone you met unless you first get them to outline every opinion they have on everything to make sure you agree with them? It is ok to engage with art even if said artist was a terrible person. If anything, it can be a good way to exercise critical thinking.

Recently I've blocked a lot of people for their opinions on Seb and/or Chris (Hell I've blocked people because I didn't agree with their take on a fictional character). Usually it's the same recycled stuff over and over again. They're not perfect people, and I'm not pretending that are, but I'm not gonna stop engaging with them and the fandom just because I don't always 100% agree with them. Sure, if it came out that they were massive homophobes or had a history of assault or something I would reconsider how I engaged with them. But the reasons people have for hating them are nothing like that. For example, the recent hate I've seen towards Chris has been:

"He makes terrible movies and is a terrible actor." No one agrees on what makes a movie terrible. I avoid looking at critic reviews on movies because more often than not, I enjoy movies/tv shows that are deemed 'terrible'. Same with acting performances. I think Chris is a really good actor and I like his work. Love some, even. And I bet the people that say that have seen maybe 1 of his movies and made a judgment on his entire career from that. Also, most of the time the actors have nothing to do with the writing of the movie. If it's terrible, that's not on them. In fact, often the actors make the bad writing a bit more bearable with their performance.

"He only cares about making money." I mean . . . yeah? Being an actor is a job, that's kinda the point. You could make that argument about any actor, or even any person who has a job. (Also this argument is usually said next to the one above, which is kinda contradictory. If he only cared about making money, why has he done a lot of smaller 'terrible' movies? Wouldn't he only want to make huge blockbuster films if that were the case?).

I've also seen people criticise their looks along with other things, but I stop after that. I don't care what your opinions are, if you go after someone's looks you lose all validity in my eyes.

Basically this is a long way of me saying that I'm gonna keep engaging with the boys and their work and I'm not gonna lose a wink of sleep over it. I don't think that makes me, or anyone else who does this a bad person. I like to engage with things that make me happy, and they do. I'll save my energy for hating other people, like politicians who actively hurt people's lives.

Anyway, hope you have a good day and you have continue to love these boys. I know I will.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your thoughtful message ❤️

I totally agree with most of what you said here. I have to say that I do personally think that there are certain offenses that warrant true cancellation, so to speak, and - especially when the artist is still alive and benefitting from people engaging with their creations - I don't think it's always possible to separate the art from the artist (JK Rowling being a case in point).

But I also think that neither Chris or Seb has committed any cancel-worthy offenses - not even close. Like you said, they both have said and done some things in the past that weren't so great (then again, haven't most people?), but on reflection, those things mostly seem to have been the result of them not thinking things through properly, and not at all of any malicious intent. Neither of them has ever give me any reason to believe they're less kind and well-intentioned than they appear. In fact, I've been following them closely (too closely, lol) for many years now, and all I've ever seen is both of them being, not perfect, but genuinely nice people, who are kind to others and big enough to admit their mistakes and learn from them. Honestly, what more do you want?

It's no fairer to expect perfection of celebrities than of ourselves, imo, and when people do demand perfection and the cancellation of anyone who's ever said anything they didn't like, I think that mostly just demonstrates a lack of critical thinking ability, like you said as well.

As for those arguments you list that you've seen being made against Chris - I can't even take those seriously, I'm sorry. Honestly, grow up. (not you, I mean the people saying those things). The most frequent criticisms of Chris I have seen in fandom in the past year or so have been centered around (or sparked by) the fact that he got married and to whom, but - and I cannot stress this enough - getting married, even if it is to someone younger or someone you don't like for whatever reason, is not a cancellable offense. What it is is none of your goddamn business (again, not you, but the people getting on his case about it).

Anyway, I totally agree with you - like you, I see no reason why I shouldn't engage with these guys, so unless either of them does something wildly out of character suddenly that causes me to rethink my view on them, I have no intention of stopping either. Like you said and I've said before too, there are so many people in the world more deserving of our criticism and hate, so please choose your battles wisely.

So here's to you and I and hopefully plenty of other people enjoying being a fan of Chris and Sebastian for a long time to come! 💖

i was planning to wait until the end of stridercestweek to say shit but all it took was a prompt i didnt wanna do for me to burry that idea. anyway

this blog is extremely and entirely gross, age gaps are gross and pedophilia is gross, even fictional, and thats what drives people to that kind of fiction obviously, they get to be gross little squeaky teenagers in their bedroom blasting "I Ship It" screaming twincest can't really be that bad

but as much as i enjoy some ships, and as far as i wanna go to support my friends who engage in the "proshipper activities" i can't say im not.. disgusted with myself? like seriously. i thought i was above it, above the feeling of being uncomfortable. And that was my mistake, youre never above anything, youre a child who wants to feel above emotions to be different and or respected.

I always secretly enjoyed unconventional ships, i kept it to myself like the "am i gay" quizzes i took and the multiple searches of boys kissing boys on my old tablet. It was secret, something to be enjoyed when by myself outside of others judgement or acknowledgement of its existence. occasionally i would find a piece of art or writting that was so disgusting even i couldn't keep it down, in those cases i scrolled past and pretended my facade hadnt just been questioned. But the disgust i feel is only getting stronger and is now accompanied byy.. shame guilt and. puking.

the moral compass in my brain is telling me to stop this bullshit and the part of me that cares for MY wellbeing agrees because. honestly. its making me feel more bad than good these days. i see drawings of bro strider and i gag. do you know how embarrassing that is? to be so disgusted with pixels on a screen that you slip into a panic attack?

i thought shipping and letting myself ship was a healthy coping mechanism to the shit i endured as a 10 year old ( THX Xavier ) i thought that looking at the things that happened to me, but from an outside perspective, and in control of it, was making me feel better but it didn't or no longer does i guess.

outside of how it makes me feel uncomfortable, theres also the social aspect of it which. is basically the constant fear that my friends and family will find out about this disgusting shit i do and cut me off their lives. im under constant stress that SOMEONE SOMEWHERE will recognize SOMETHING i do and call me out and ill be helpless to defend myself because by then im deemed a creepy monster. i dont think i am one i dont want to BE one. im a teenager for christs sake i just enjoy strilondes from time to time.

yea all that weird monologuing i did just now like i was doing some amazing reveal is to say that. im not really sure if i wanna continue with this account. i know i like drawing this stuff, and i know i like interacting with my friends who draw this stuff. and its the only reason i even write fanfiction, but i need to step back a bit from it if i want to be healthy about it. and i probably need to block the bro strider tag.

[herbat-melis]

Random delulu doodle of slenderman that I did. Having kinda an art block recently but this time I just went on and had some fun. I tried to make it look kinda messy, played with stuff and I swear, I looked like a crazy person while doing it. (I am a certified crazy person)

It may look kinda crappy but hell, I had fun. You know, feeling like the ultimate edgy teenager, drawing this like a patient of an asylum while listening to Get Scared and Three Days Grace like the old times when I was the ✨weird creepypasta kid✨™

Coming back to it kinda lately. And well, since I'm still not really out of the teenage years, still in highschool, I have time to be the weird creepypasta kid some more. Especially since I started my quest to watch all the Slenderverse series, track back all the important ARGs and oh god, I started with EverymanHYBRID, finished it a couple of days ago and I do NOT regret. I wholeheartedly recommend but remember, you never will get the salad recipie. It's been over fourteen years and it seems like Slendy does not want us to ever know it. And HABIT is a vibe. I love this guy, this silly evil menace to society<3 and I love you; the great, awesome, incredible people who came here and actually read all that.

I love how the background came out tho! It really reminds me of the cover of Best Kind Of Mess album from Get Scared :D

Remember to do whatever the hell makes y'all happy and take good care of yourselves and your loved ones. No matter what other people think, be yourself and do your thing, enjoy and embrace all the weirdness in you because we all are a bit weird and that's what makes us special. I am proud of you all and believe in you with my whole heart<3

[a-bucket-in-the-void]

hello

i’m Oakley or Romeo (or Bucket if you’d like) and i use he/him

i’m kinda just a dude on here

i sometimes reblog stuff from jrwi (mostly pd and riptide), hermitcraft, the life series, all the adjacent stuff, but what i’m really known for are my low effort shit posts. on a good day i can pop like fifteen of those out, each with two to five notes

so anyway, stay if you’d like, honestly i don’t really care, unless you’re a cool mutual in law in which case i am super cool and awesome and you should totally follow me back :]]

tagging system under the cut

now that i’m thinking about it it’s atrocious but i don’t really care enough to fix it unprompted so if you do care feel free to send me an ask about it (anon is always there if you need it)

#shouting into the void - id like to say this is my text tag but i really just use this whenever i make a post and it doesn’t contain art or an ask. under this you’ll find pretty much any kind of post under the sun as well as some pretty good shit posts buried under other not so good shit post

#showing the void my art - this would be my art tag, if i ever used it. please picture it covered in cob webs. under here are some of my doodles and now that i’m thinking about it i could probably tag my knitting progress under this as well

#the void talks back - this is my ask tag. under here is pretty much a bunch of me hanging out with my friends on here

#a companion in the void - this is literally just my being-gay-about-my-boyfriend tag. mostly it’s there for blocking purposes if that’s not your thing or you don’t wanna have to deal with my cheesy lovey dovey posts all the time then that’s there :]

and now for my less official tags that you still might want to know

#butter buddies - this is the tag for the world of my two ocs i like doodling, peanut butter (or sweet pea) and buttercup, who both have their own tags as well! #peanut butter (oc) and #buttercup (oc)

#red dungeon - i play in a dnd campaign with a couple people on here. this is a communal tag for the campaign, so not just an original thing for me. not everything related to the campaign is tagged under this, it’s really just some more recent official posts

and speaking of…

#radio doe - this is my character for said campaign. like the other tag there’s not a whole lot under this but it’s there if you’d like to see it. also feel free to ask me about her or the campaign, i’d love to talk about it

um i also have another oc tagged with the ‘unwitness protection program’ if you’d like to go hunt for that but it’s really not properly tagged with anything

um also if like to say that i am very socially awkward so just uh yeah

if i interact with you and i seem a bit weird or off putting that’s probably why

uh i think that’s it

enjoy your stay i guess

[ryuichirou]

I had a question, I want to start following you because at first I was against the type of stuff you draw, but now I’ve met people who kinda draw the same themes (tropes?) as you and I even became friends with some of them because of their art and getting to know them as well and because I’m too damn old and if I see amazing art I just want to follow it and share it! I would like to get to know you as a person instead of listening to the shit the fandom says (that’s how I sadly became familiar with you or got to know about you and I hate it to be honest…) and to be honest I love how you draw the twst cast and I have so many questions about your ships and art wise too, but I know you have me blocked elsewhere and I don’t want to be able to see your art if you have your reasons for blocking me! I would like to follow properly, is there a way for this to happen?

Ps. I also love the blog with the short horror stories!!! 🖤🖤

Hello, Anon!

Thank you so much for reaching out. Hearing about you starting out being against this kind of stuff but then becoming open-minded/chill enough to enjoy or not care about things that you don’t like is great. I don’t know how to phrase it in a way that doesn’t sound weird, but it genuinely sounds inspiring, i.e. it makes me happy to hear that there are people like you. I also think it takes maturity and some courage to talk about something like that even anonymously, so I am extra grateful. And frankly, just very happy that being friends with people who also draw this kind of stuff gave you a new perspective and that you seem to have fun hanging around with these people.

We block a lot of people preventively, but we don’t mind unblocking those who are willing to treat us with dignity or at least willing to ignore our stuff if they don’t like it. There is no need for you to stay blocked if you genuinely want to enjoy things that we post and maybe even interact with it, in fact I am really looking forward to hearing more from you! You can either DM (or ask your friends to DM me since you’re blocked) or send me an ask with your username, and we will unblock you.

Once again, thank you for your message, for being so open about the situation and for treating me like a human being instead of this fandom’s boogeyman. It was very nice to hear that, I didn’t really know I kind of needed to hear that lol

And thank you for loving the short horror stories!! Hehehe <3

(A little message to everyone else: as you’ve seen, I didn’t post any replies these past two days. I am currently a little busy with some things I have to finish as soon as possible, so I might skip days every now and then… sorry for the wait, and thank you for your asks!

Just a heads-up! Have a good week, everyone)

[am-i-the-asshole-official]

AITA for telling people I don't care about fandom drama unless it somehow directly involved me? Maybe some people will read this and go "what? No???" And if that's the case I'm gonna be snickering to myself but I digress. I'm a digital artist trying to find my footing in this hellscape of an online environment with tumblr being broken as it is and twitter going down in flames slowly, DeviantArt supporting AI and I don't think I need to go on. For a long, long time I was a fandom artist however and one of the 'bigger' names in a fairly small community. I've 'fell off' as they say because of some beef with people I didn't choose to have but hey, tale as old as time with fandoms am I right? We mess up and move on with our lives. SO YEAH that aside, when you've been through stuff like that and grow up a bit you realize that it was all a pretty stupid waste of time and energy and now I'm in my mid-20s and would really just like to focus on my art. I still make fan art for this specific thing and like make fan art for basically anything I enjoy nowadays and just...spread out my skills more so I got a better portfolio and all that. I'm really just vibing so to speak. Then a while ago I got DMed by someone in my server about some beef they were having with another user in my server. The kicker is that none of said beef was actually taking place in my server but in another server owned by the person DMing me. It's as if you're the manager of a starbucks and the manager from the Burger King across the street comes in like 'Yeah your employee was being shitty in my Burger King so I don't think I'll be going to this StarBucks anymore >:(" Like, what do you want me to do with that information? I can't talk to someone about behavior I didn't even see any damning evidence of and I'm not going to accuse someone of something based on something a stranger said. Somehow this conversation went from me explaining that I'm not about to ban someone or adhere to somebody else's 'blacklist' over things I have seen no proof of, to the stranger DMing me that a lot of people 'are intimidated' by me or that I have them blocked 'for no reason' setting off my paranoia like no other. I had recently dealt with being ghosted by friends who turned around and posted a call-out (with zero evidence mind you, not a single screenshot because they in fact, wiped WHOLE ENTIRE chats as they contained proof of the opposite) and those people stalking me for WEEKS, had to start over fresh and everything. So naturally I didn't like this very much and bluntly stated that if I blocked anyone, it's probably for a good reason and that it's not my problem if that somehow hurt their feelings, I need to look out for my own safety online. I fear I was a little TOO blunt because I did say something along the lines of 'I'm sorry but I do not care, I'm too old for fandom drama not involving me, I'm trying to be professional.' and cut the conversation off because I was exhausted and uncomfortable. I've been told that this was a just a weird and wacky instance and that I didn't do anything wrong, that people who do think I did need to go outside and touch grass and all that but hyea, it stuck with me because I worry that people are badmouthing me behind my back a lot. TL,DR: Got told by a follower that other people in our very small community were scared of me, had them blocked for 'no reason' and that somehow hurt their feelings and that my reputation was apparently decided by what my individual followers behaved like in other servers and spaces because apparently one little spat was enough to have someone threaten to distance themselves from me all-together while I wasn't involved at all. So, I figured if anyone is an expert at these fandom shenanigans, it's gotta be the veterans of the tumblr court.

What are these acronyms?

apropos of aaaabsolutely nothing happy EST wound fucking wednesday. this post is just for that one reader

[ID: rendered robots franchise fanart of oppie and megs (the recent cartoon for kids iteration of them) stradding each other mid-wrestle. they both show wear and tear. megs, scowling, is punching op's grille-abdomen, warping the metal, other hand gripping his shoulder to pull him down into the hit and falling backwards a bit with the momentum himself. oppie, frowning deepy or grimacing, has one hand gripping megs' thigh and the other on one of his shoulder spikes to keep him from being able to maneuver or escape. he reels back with the punch but still rests stably on splayed-out knees, one slid under megs, adding to megs' unbalance and making him kick out his own leg that oppie straddles.]

pre-canon war stuffs........................ that can at least exist in my mind palace of Not Really Knowing Jack Shit

ONE good turn deserves another i would say...... meaning a big trip thru the lb tab collecting a folder of relevant unconscionable violence vibes i didnt even get to use all of*/push as far as i could have. and then a lot of time doing chain-licking meditations on big blocky 3d shapes. and then a lot of time wrestling with that one csp 3d model pose set. WELL. when i saw what u were sketching the other day i lost my fucking mind trying not to say anything kjsdfg so hopefully good sign this will be received well o7 <22

*my dreams of putting tfs in clothes was not an appropriate venture for first times drawing tfs. YET

+ just the lines bc good lord i drew so many details on Those Things. looking at other ppls art styles. i didnt even have to do that i dont even need to feel bad abt the bits that broke my spacial understanding no one is doing 1:1 replicas. but it was kind of nicely meditative to whittle away at actually i enjoyed it

[ID: same pic, colors and shading removed to show oppies lineart was a bright blue and megs' a bright orange]

things i gained a heightened appreciation for in this venture: the way that megs' pelvis design elements look like he has a jacket tied around his waist. CUTE. his BIIIIIG fucking boots i didnt get to show off. his faaaaaaaace chiseling. oppies 1:1 accuracy little windshield wipers. difference in frame between them (most of the robots seem to have narrow waists but i like that i can accurately draw megs still a little Built there. fun!) the joiiiiinnnnntt articulation logic on these guys is so neat kudos to. franchise full of robot designers that are extra incentivized to make them at least somewhat real-world workable.

+ honorable mention: THEYRE SO WIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE. taking up the entire 4:3 frame space in episodes. throwing out half the oversketch notes i took of the csp models bc they simply did not matter and would not be visible underneath both of these guys blocking each other kjghsdf

anyways. to say. HAPPY TO BLOG AT THE SAME TIME AS YOUUUUUUUUUU and heres to another year of getting to know the most delightful wonderful realm of things and ways to get weird with things thru it vicariously and firsthand. dearly beloved blogging bestie who i hope has a nice day ^_^!!!!

The Boys Pt.2

***More weird headcanons about the boys: Bonus Edition! I replaced Daniels with Pierson and Turner in this one since Daniels is already pretty fleshed out. Let me know if y’all want more Pierson and Turner stuff.***

Aiello

*Was forced to learn to play to organ for Sunday Mass when he was a kid. He hated it at first but eventually grew to enjoy it. He still plays when the regular organist isn’t there to play.

*A great singer but he’s embarrassed about it so he mostly just sings in the shower or when he’s by himself so people don’t find out.

*Dad was/is an alcoholic and always off somewhere getting drunk so he and his sisters were raised by their mom and Nonna the majority of the time.

*Snapped his ankle the first week home because he he went jogging (habit from being in the military) and tripped over a raise in the sidewalk that definitely wasn’t there when he left. He only made it half a block and his sister found him while checking the mail.

*Chokes on his own spit on a regular basis.

*Willing to do pretty much anything on a dare as long as you’re paying him. Lick the sidewalk? Sure. Run down the street naked? Of course! Propose to a random girl in a grocery store? You bet ya.

*Despite the rough exterior, he’s nothing but a giant teddy bear that loves cuddles. But unfortunately for him, he doesn’t get them because he can’t get a girlfriend to save his life so he cuddles with his cat instead.

*Loves art. Especially making it himself but won’t admit to it. Mostly because his father “didn’t want a fairy for a son” and thinks art is emasculating (poor Frankie 🥺)

Stiles

*Looks like a cinnamon roll, but could kill you if he really felt like it. Thankfully he’s a pretty chill guy unless you push the right buttons, then all hell breaks loose.

*Taught himself to play the piano when he was 10. He plays even more after coming home because it’s the one thing that can calm him down when his PTSD is going wild.

*The record for ‘World’s Weakest Immune System’ goes to Drew Stiles. If someone with some sort of bug or virus so much as looks in his direction he catches it and is out of commission for a week.

*He’s a giant baby when he’s sick and thinks he’s gonna die whenever he catches a cold. (Man-flu, anyone?)

*Just generally not a good driver. He regularly jumps curbs, almost hits mailboxes, knocks over trashcans, ect.

*Forever cold. If it’s even slightly under 70*F, he’s huddled under a pile of blankets and a thick sweater complaining about the cold.

*Constantly chomping on bubble gum. He probably contributes to about 50% of the local store’s bubble gum sales.

Zussman

* Surprisingly, he plays the violin and is pretty good at it.

* He can twist balloon animals and the kids at Synagogue love him for it.

*Loves football. Managed to form one out of old crusty socks he had the medic stitch together and tossed it around with Daniels in their down time.

*Somewhat ambidextrous.

*The only one in his family that can’t carry a tune. If you told him to sing or he dies, you may as well just put both of you out of your misery before he makes your ears bleed with terrible singing.

*Got the only somewhat-tall gene in his family. Parents are 4’11 and 5’5 and he ended up 5’8.

Pierson

* Has a wife and two little boys (6 and 3) back home and wants a couple more. He loves being a dad more than anything, and is proud to be a better one than his own.

* An animal guy. As in ‘likes animals more than people.’ Feeds the strays back home in Oklahoma.

*Attempts to go sober cold turkey after the war. Doesn’t really work, but he does cut back on alcohol a lot.

*Blames himself for Turners death. So much so that he goes to visit his widow and beg for her forgiveness.

*Takes on an uncle-type role to Turner’s kids and tells them stories about their dad.

*Actually a decently good cook. His specialty? Chili.

Turner

*Mom was part of the Women’s Suffrage Movement, so as a result he was very much a feminist.

*Had he survived, he would’ve been proud to have some of the first female soldiers in his platoon in 1948.

* Left behind a wife and three kids, ages 13, 10, and 3. He wanted to have one more once he got home so his youngest would have someone close in age to play with.

* Sort of a bookworm.

* Enjoyed carpentry when he was home. He made the majority of the furniture in his house himself.

[elfhunk]

it's so funny that this stupid tumblr blog is paying a key role in the re-socialization of my fucked up brain.

below the cut because it's a sentimentally hopeful bummer but still indeed a bummer about some mental health brain stuff.

like. most of you do not actually... know me? i am making no effort to separate this blog from my actual identity.

but you do not have the context of me working my ass off for four years in art school, hitting an art block so severe that it sent me into a tail dive so severe i did not draw for several years, to my life being blown up and pieced back together at least three times now. it was a perpetual cycle of adrenaline fueled sprinting and cataclysmic disaster that i intentionally hid from everyone until it was too late.

like. i literally don't know how to draw anymore. not consistently, anyway. people joke about not using their degrees but i have taken it to an unexpected extreme. my friends have honestly (very nicely) begun teasing me whenever i say that i am bad at drawing because of how patently untrue it is.

anyway, if any of you have been wondering why i'm so delightful?

it's because something is deeply wrong with me, in a way that i am only starting to understand recently.

i now know that i am (probably, adult diagnosis is complicated!) autistic, i know that i have ADHD, and i know that i have experienced certifiably CPTSD level trauma. my therapist even confirmed for me that these things in combination do in fact result in me meeting diagnostic criteria for BPD, which is fun. did you know that entire diagnosis is under contention? it's a whole thing!

anyway, i learned that there was something deeply fundamentally destructive about the ways i was using tools like twitter or tumblr.

when i was using social media ages... what, 13-25? i was effectively a roiling ball of overstimulated receptors seeking to be everything to everyone in the desperate attempt to have my existence acknowledged. i saw that art that i made for myself didn't get me attention, so i stopped making it. i became a terrifyingly self-critical ball of nastiness that saw no point in doing anything unless it was perfect.

i saw no point in existing unless i was perfect. when i stopped making art, it began to bleed into the rest of my existence. my job performance had to be perfect. my etiquette and attitude had to be perfect. my body had to be perfect. my skin had to be perfect. my hair had to be perfect. if a flaw was identified, it was buried immediately.

this whole "delightful prince charming" shtick i've ended up adopting just sort of gradually became the safest way i knew how to navigate the world. it was a character i got extremely good at playing. it was turning into a perfectly lovely way of living life exclusively in service to other people. everyone thought it was so admirable and good of me. but then the gnawing evidence of my flaws continued to build up again. and everything blew up again.

because, dear reader? this is a terrible character to try and occupy in all waking hours of your life. the mask is going to fall eventually.

so, that brings us to this tumblr. this silly little place.

i am 28 now, and things are very different. i still have a lot of problems to figure out. i still have emotional flashbacks of varying intensity to an age where i am not even verbal and do not have words to articulate what i want or need. it's wild. i didn't even know that could happen. don't get traumatized as a baby, y'all.

but i do know what man i am trying to be. i do know that people really like that man. he's cool and interesting and sexy as fuck. i need to afford him more space to be imperfect, because i am the only one expecting perfection from him.

so that's why i am kind of digging this blog. i still get to play that character. i still get to enjoy existing in this weird way that i've carved out for myself. but i don't need to obsess over it being perfect all the time. i don't have to care what you think of me. i don't know you.

you're a goddamn stranger passing in the train station.

and i am a silly little horse doing a dance. because damn this silly little horse loves to dance. and he's doing it for himself.

RvB Fusion AU? Caboose and Grif becoming like a fun lazy guy, Tucker and Kai becoming THE sex-crave fusion, Sarge and Carolina becoming the most competitive fighter ever, etc.

Oh man... there have been a lot of fun RVB Fusion AU scenarios people have come up with through the years... I think Kai and Tucker fused would weirdly sort of balance both their two extreme flirty attitudes, and they are somehow SUPREMELY charismatic in an effortless way (like, they aren't even TRYING to flirt with anybody, and don't even notice all the heart-eyes. they're also really funny and giggly and affectionate, but in a relaxed way). Caboose and Grif fusion is super chill, but also? They have all of Caboose's weird, reality-bending concepts, and Grif's gift with words, so they're just there being all philosophical, possibly unlocking the secrets of the universe. Carolina and Sarge is BEYOND competitive (and has the same attitude of Aqua from Brave and the Bold; very valiant and enjoys the thrill of battle! unless you tick them off, then it is just. a massacre).

Church and Caboose fusion is a fun one, because Church has to like... come to terms with "loving himself", not in a false-bravado/ego-trip way, but actually having good self-esteem? They also freely share how much they love everybody else, but still has Church's potty-mouth. Everybody thought they should worry about a Tex and Carolina fusion, but again, they are just sort of balanced out somehow? Simmons and Church fusions is sooooooooo smug. Any fusion with Doc means they also have O'Malley in there... Kai and Doc genuinely have a lot of fun fused, and the result is a such a subtle smart-mouth sense of humor, enhanced by O'Malley being their "anger translator". Donut and Simmons fused is sort of a mess... all of Simmons' anxiety makes Donut ACUTELY aware of his own insecurities, and they just keep over-apologizing for everything. Wash always thinks he won't "mix well" with somebody when fused, and it is true that a fusion with him will like- just start crying at some point, because it is like having an internal conversation where one gives the other a chance to open up. Yeah, even Sarge. In fact, Sarge and Wash seems to have all the serious/professionalism of both, but will just give out very deeply emotional compliments to the others, said with a calm matter-of-fact tone. Kai and Carolina is TERROR, just full-on rebel, with the muscle to back it up. Tucker and Donut is the most prettiest and flamboyant fusion.

Oh, and I can't talk about RVB fusions without showing some of the awesome art by @creatrixanimi !

Are you Christian? hope that doesn't sound accusatory

Anon. I love you, but please know there is no possible way to drop into a stranger’s ask box anonymously demanding to know personal information (age, sex/gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, diagnoses, etc.) without sounding somewhat accusatory or at the very least a little nosey (because why do you need to know that), but reading your disclaimer did make me smile despite my apprehension regarding this inquiry, so I appreciate you adding that in.

This is also a weird one because I genuinely don’t know what answer you are hoping for or if you’re just curious and enjoy dropping into people’s inboxes to ask if they’ve heard the good word of Jesus Christ which I have to admit, is an interesting strategy though not one I’d recommend. I was gonna answer this anon with something like “what are you a cop?” Or “come back with warrant” (classic) but then upon reflection, realized I should probably clear some stuff up in case you are confused. So, uh, to answer the question, yes, I am, though that will require some explanation as religion is not really what this blog is for. This blog is where I dump my hyperfixations, rants about life, links to my fanfics, and maybe make a few friends along the way. Some of the media I engage with like Narnia happens to be Catholic/Christian, or have Christian themes, or be popular in Christian circles, but that’s more coincidental. This blog really has no clear organization at all, I just see stuff I like or personally identify with, reblog, and that’s that, so it’s mostly fandom content, but stuff on neurodivergence and disability slips in a lot because I identity with a lot of it and happen to know a fair amount about it, so it makes sense to have it on my blog from time to time.

Now, I believe you might be coming into my ask box to ask about this because I recently started following and reblogging a few posts from Christian content creators. The reason for that is ironically similar to the reason I got this blog in the first place. I had no one irl to talk about fandoms and hyperfixations with, and people didn’t want me talking about them irl, so I came here to do that, met a lot of nice people, we rant about fandoms together, it’s a good time. Currently, I’m not around people irl who are Christian, so I’ve started coming here for that too, and it’s worked out pretty great. Met some nice people, talked about headcanons and such, found a few neurodivergent Christians and the intersectionality is nice, mostly good stuff.

The one issue I ran into was that a good number of my established followers and mutuals have religious trauma or don’t like religion very much, so to be sensitive to that, I tag every reblog of a religious post “tw religion” or “tw religion mention” so that they know to block the tags if they don’t wanna see it, and then I save my long rants on Christian headcanons and stuff like that for private DM’s and discord conversations with mutuals who are interested in that. It’s just something I do to try to be respectful and acknowledge that while this is something that’s brought a lot of joy and positivity in my life, not everyone has experienced it that way, and they might not want to see that on their dash, and it can be genuinely triggering for people.

But while this seemed like a good idea at the time, I now realize why you probably feel the need to ask about my religious background, which is why I feel obligated to answer your question. Because… most people who reblog posts with “tw religion” have something to say against it, but people who like religion will just reblog the post. Which I now realize, upon reflection, leads to a lot of Christian creators getting notifications like “uh oh! Someone reblogged your art with the hashtag “tw religion” wonder what rant they have against you” and then they check and it’s just me going “wow nice art, Happy Easter and God Bless You, you’re incredibly talented 🥰, and also TRIGGER WARNING FOR THIS CONTENT!” and on the flip side it’s also probably weird for everyone who sees the hashtag “tw religion” and is like “haha…nice. A rant against faith. I gotta see this!” only to click on the post and see some really well drawn art of Jesus and the children with a ton of positivity. So um… sorry for confusion?

To make a long story short, yes, I’m Christian, but this blog is mostly fandom content, that’s why I created it and that’s what I’m here for. I do incorporate a lot of Christian themes in my fic writing just like I incorporate elements of my neurodivergence into my writing as well, but my writing is not explicitly Christian, anyone can enjoy it. You’re allowed to like things by different groups that you are not part of while still not completely agreeing with everything that particular group believes. I promise it’s okay, that’s how humans work, none of us will ever think completely alike, but we can still enjoy each other’s stuff sometimes. I promise the world won’t end because you liked a fanfic where I wrote Nicholas’ speech to Martina about forgiveness and how she’s still a good person to parallel God’s mercy and love for us, you can still like it and like the message while not agreeing with my idea of who God is or that there even is a God at all. Most if not all the characters in Wolf 359 are atheists, and I still enjoy the podcast (though I will note before people come in my comments about this, yes, there is obviously some nuance to this atheism as canonically Minkowski is culturally Christian, Doug kinda knows the our father and probably got dragged to church on Christmas/his birthday and Easter at some point, Daniel Jacobi’s name has Jewish origins so the character likely has some Jewish background, Maxwell is ex-evangelical, Hera strikes me as spiritual but not religious, Cutter and Pryce are atheists who left religion but kept all the toxic parts so they could make themselves gods, and this last one actually has no canon evidence whatsoever, but I firmly believe that Kepler is specifically agnostic not atheist, and he goes out of his way to emphasize this by saying stuff like “due to the limits of the human mind, we can never really know the truth about the big picture” or something like that, but I know he has a speech about it. No disrespect to my agnostic followers, but unfortunately I think Kepler would do this).

That tangent aside, I will end by saying this. I have all sorts of people following this blog: Christians, atheists, people of other faiths, members of the LGBTQ+ community, neurodivergent folks, BIPOC, and more, and they followed me for my unhinged rants and fandom content. They didn’t come here to have their identities and beliefs bashed, and due to the fandoms I am in, many of them are also minors. And I am so, so, scared about what my reply to this anon might bring to this blog, no matter the answer, so let me be very clear: if you use this post, or any of my posts, to spread hate and negatively towards anybody, you’re blocked. I have already done this a few times when I’ve seen it around tumblr. If you think it was a mistake, let me know, but I’m not exposing my young followers to that. That’s not gonna help anybody, and there are so many better things you could be doing with your time.

With that said, if the tagging system is not working out, and you’d prefer I put the religious stuff on a side blog my non-Christian followers can block while still enjoying my usual content on the main, I can do that too. Whatever makes it easier for y’all.

*this would be a bummer, because I just hit an even 200, which is tricky to do when all you got is two of the tiniest fandoms alive and not much else. But look after yourself, I wish you well, and I’ll get over it.

[azures-grace]

i give you two options

a. the entire list of questions

or

b. 2, 5, 14, 20

Challenge MCFUCKING accepted

Questions at the end

1. 4 published, but technically I worked on The Shadow of the Wicked but didn't publish anything for it.

2. One shots!

3. Fallout lmaoo

4. 2, Skyrim and Fallout, 3 if you wanna get technical and say My Father's Name is FNV and Too Much has Fallen in Mine is Fo3

5. Butchicity.... Goober n Gore......

6. Butch DeLoria and Moira Brown

7. Yeah! Started writing for Fallout, and the new ships would be Moira and Lissy and Butch and Lissy but that technically hasn't actually come up in any writing yet. There's stuff I've been writing for it tho.... But for later.....

8. TMHFIM, it was really special to me because it was like... The first thing I was able to write after being really depressed for a long ass time. God bless antidepressants.

9. Ooh... Hard question. I was really happy to work on all of them, but I think Let me hold you until I soften your hands made me the happiest because it's just. Pure fluff.

10. One of the oneshots, I'm a whore for unfinished long fics nshdjejdbd

11. Uncanny Blood, mostly because I wanted to work on later parts a lot and had to figure out travel times and then had to write a whole extra chapter even though technically I had 2 chapters after it written, so currently the fic is at a standstill because I have to write chapter 3, even though I have 4 and 5 ready to go 😔😔😔

12. None of them lmaoo. My Father's Name, probably. I know the beginning of New Vegas pretty well.

13. Shortest: My Father's Name, Longest: TMHFIM

14. Depends on when in the year I was? I've got a couple character playlists n stuff sorry for the terrible answer lmao djsjjzbd

15. TMHFIM, I was stuck between several titles, but I'm using at least one of them for a later chapter, so all is well.

16. Let me hold you until I soften your hands. Makes me emotional

17. "Evenings by the fire were always their favorite part of the evening." Or "Her father had been… distant lately." I feel like both of those set up the tone of the story pretty well. And I giggle at the sentence mistake in the first

18. Well. I've only got two of those. But it's " “I think I'd like that, blood.” " which makes more sense in context. I'm gonna go cry about it now.

19. Eheheheh my favorite part. I have 2

“Hey,” Amkar said lightly. “Even if there's no real information here, at least it's very pretty to look at. Those Nords sure were on to something…”

“Weird to hear that from a Thalmor soldier,” she pointed out, pulling out her journal and beginning to sketch the crarvings.

“Just because I'm a racist doesn't mean I can't enjoy art,” he said.

She took a long pause trying to figure out if he was being serious or not. “Are you joking?”

And

“Hey!” a voice shouted from above.

She looked up, shading her eyes with her good arm. “Hi?”

“Are you a raider?” the voice called down.

“What's a raider?” Felicity asked, flabbergasted.

“Sherrif! You should get over here, there's some weird girl covered in blood at the gate!”

20.

“Oh? Family? You're not some deranged lunatic who spawned into Tamriel with a poor haircut and a strangely lovely taste in music?” Caryalind had pushed himself up onto his elbows to look at her.

21. I don't think so...? I think what surprised me most is how terribly Bethesda's characters in Skyrim are developed, I guess? At least for the minor ones and the general factions. Too many bandits. So I gave them personalities.

22. Google docs 😔

23. Felicity punching Moriarty, no question about it.

24. Nope

25. I didn't, I guess? Just... Fell into a writer's block and then came back months later.

26. Looooots of fanart, my azure arted tag has almost all of it.

27. None in the fanfic world, but I had 2 art trades this year and that was fun! I'd love to do more in the future.

28. My friends who listened to me ramble about my characters :]]

29. Finish up Chapter 6 of TMHFIM!

30. Oughg more TMHFIM and maybe a New Vegas fic or prequel that covers Celeste? Those would be fun...
