ok I was paging through feeding habits chapter 7 (weeping statue) which is a rewrite I drafted about a year ago, and………. this is some of my best work lol

Cael drags his palm through Harrison’s hair, then grips right at the roots. The movement forces Harrison’s chin up, toward the portrait of Jesus. How the sheep at his feet stare up at him in wonderment, so awed by the shape of a man.

feeding habits Harrison’s fixation on Jesus walked so BB Harrison’s jadedness toward gods could FLY

#they’re in a church!#so contextually this all happens AFTER the events of BB #but it’s fucking amazing to see how the story of BB contextualizes this chapter even tho I wrote this chapter first #they just work in conversation so well!#if u have no idea what this chap is about #Harrison is DRUNK lol & goes to a church in hopes of finding Lonan (Lonan is….. across the country—and he knows that)#anyway he meets this dude named Cael & this is their night together #would love to share more of it but most is just…. not PG enough lol #anyway reminds me that I still want to do those updated FH writing updates!

I'm not going back to Gusu with you.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #wei wuxian #Those last two high effort comics where just a warm up for this masterpiece. My true magnum opus.#I was originally going to do this gag as a 'alternate version of comic 155'#Then I realized that they have the 'Come back to Gusu with me' conversation twice. So here we are!#I did consider having WWX say 'I'm not going back to gusu with you' in the comic for the better plot accuracy.#I'm invoking the rule of silly by having Wei Wuxian read between the lines of 'Come back to Gusu with me'.#Because it does feel like a confession! It is a confession of 'I care about your safety and I worry for what may happen.'#It is also poorly articulated. You can't really blame WWX for reading into it as 'LWJ is just another person trying to control me.'#The relationship between them is not good! It is two parties who genuinely want to be closer with each other but cannot communicate it.#You can't really have what makes these two work so well as a dynamic without the past history of:#“Back then I really wanted to be your friend.” They are a *missed connection*!#WWX reaches out and LWJ rejects him. And now when LWJ reaches out it is WWX who pushes them apart.#It is a tragedy about the consequences of being out of tandem and realizing what you want far too late.#The momentum of WWX's downfall is far to fast to reverse now. It's a 'When' not ''if' question.#Back to your normal style of PD-MDZS next update. Thank you for reading!

I'm so mad that post was misinformation because there is actually an EXTREMELY important conversation to have about the production schedules artists are forced into. There's no need for exaggeration, the conditions are bad.

I work for webtoon. My publication schedule is weekly. While publishing I'm required 10-15 pages a week. Fully colored.

This means I'm finishing a 150 page fully colored graphic novel every 10-15 weeks.

When my comic is not updating, I am not getting paid. Any time writing, editing, or off is out of my own pocket. I don't get healthcare. They do not provide any assistants. They expect me to promote myself; they chose to deprioritize me before I even launched and gave me an end date half a year in. I never had a chance.

And this is the industry standard! Every company has artists forced into crunch hours, overtime, and burnout. Artists are literally dying early due to it. So many of my friends can't afford to go to the doctor.

It's unsustainable and untenable, and it's also the expectation our audiences have.

If we want to have this conversation, there's plenty of conversation to be had with the realities of the situation. It's bad as is.

#and people get mad at us about 'short updates' lmfao #the companies are absolutely abusing our passion and our desperate situations #but readers genuinely offer little to no grace #if I am going to be able to leave #then the conditions for me to be able to leave need to exist #and they just Dont right now #I'm not making nearly enough to pay my bills without webtoon #I NEED the job #I dont have a car #I cant fucking afford one #I can't drive anyway #I NEED TO WORK #THIS IS MY JOB #I want to leave I'm being mistreated but I CANT!!!#anyways. whatever #I'm so fucking upset that someone just idk spread misinformation #and now the conversation is about like nooo she was under the same shit conditions as everyone else #she's just a really good writer #like okay that's awesome and I'm really glad #but WOULDNT IT BE NICE IF SHE WASNT ALSO OVERWORKED?#AND ALSO IF GOOD WRITERS WERE ABLE TO WRITE WELL WITHOUT HAVING TO BE OUTLIERS???#god it makes me so so so mad!!!!#fucking ruining a really important conversation to have!!!#we're mistreated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we just are!!!!!!!!!!1 #I'm not paid enough to build the savings to take risks!#this 6 month break was EVERYTHING #I NEED to start working to pay my bills now #like it's over I ran out of time #its heartbreaking #I hate it here

This has most definitely been said before, but we were robbed of the core four quarantining on-screen together at Buck’s place. ROBBED I say

#we could’ve had it all #henchim #bestieism and being exasperated by all the #buddie #shenanigans #canonically knowing the sleeping arrangements even tho I fully believe buddie shared Buck’s bed while henchim claimed the couch space and #someone (probs hen) thought ahead and brought an air mattress #hen and buck cooking for everyone bc chim and Eddie (at the time) couldn’t cook well #grocery shopping #but as arguments about everybody’s weird preferences #NO PRIVACY #so everybody is calling dibs on Buck’s balcony to have private conversations w their families #buddie calling Chris together and henchim side eying them but ultimately not saying anything bc it was a stressful time for all of them #carpooling to work together and fighting over the aux omgggg and fighting over the tv remote like real siblings #Bobby asking how the roomies are doing living together and everyone just eying each other with fondness or exasperation depending on the day #I know we got crumbs from buck and chim living together but it wasn’t enough I want MORE #the siblings dynamic would’ve been immaculate with the added weird romantic tension from buddie like ???#I can’t find many fics about this scenario but pls Rec any (especially if they’re tagged oddly plssss)#hen Wilson #chimney han #Eddie diaz #evan buckley #Bobby nash #Christopher diaz #quarantine #covid 19 #911 #9-1-1 #911 abc #9-1-1 abc

imagine one day you’re on your third flight of the day doing your silly little flight attendant job and you’re exhausted, and ready to be home, and you’re smiling and dissociating as your greet passengers as they come on board and suddenly in walks jensen ackles, dean winchester himself, and he smiles and says “thanks” as you hand him a silly little disinfectant wipe. You proceed to hand the basket of wipes to your coworker as you rush to the bathroom to have a full blown panic attack because DEAN FUCKING WINCHESTER is on your flight and you are going to have to talk to him and interact with him and be professional and pretend you aren’t having a meltdown cause you would know those eye crinkles ANYWHERE. Imagine you’re taking dinner orders and you’re repeating to yourself in your head “be profesional, smile and ask for his order, just breathe” and he proceeds to order the cheeseburger and a whiskey neat and your brain short circuits and in your most sarcastic tone out of your mouth comes “yeah sure thing dean” AND THEN YOUR BRAIN EXPLODES CAUSE YOU JUST SAID THAT OUT LOUD TO JENSEN FUCKING ACKLES!!!!! Anyways he laughs and says “my wife says that all the time” then you proceed to die and blackout and work the rest of the flight on autopilot yeah imagine if that happened 😅

#we had an entire conversation after that and he was so nice truly #he let me ramble for 10 whole minutes and then said he didn’t mind he said I was funny #im not gonna recount everything cause that’s just for me #i wanted to ask for a pic but felt like that would ruin the vibe after we started talking and he didn’t offer so oh well 🤷🏻‍♀️#but please know that i deal with assholes and truly vile humans in first class daily and he was just so…. nice?#idk i was just really overwhelmed and i did cry in the bathroom afterwards #anyways there it is #just another day at work #ana’s silly little thoughts

Sorry I forgot Hanneman suggested Byleth undress after they show up with a different hair color. And I miss Hanneman. And also while swapping between Houses and Hopes and seeing Hanneman pop up to help in a Hopes paralogue is just devastating since he doesn't ever actually join you at all and I am denied my old man rights.

So I had to draw this. Thank you for understanding.

#fe three houses #byleth #hanneman von essar #i like that Byleth just kinda stares at him and he realizes WHAT HE SAID and the implications and is like #step back uh forget that I said that #like man so zoned in on research he blurts that out and has to backtrack mentally to AH socially bad to say that my bad #if i need to tag this as anything lemme know even though it is a conversation in game basically (minus the marriage)#also if you have never married hanneman i genuinely enjoyed his s support and was VERY surprised and hes just #honestly one of my favorites overall in 3h ?? and im still bummed i cant play as him in thropes like thats just mean #also i think if byleth was like oh well if its awkward to see someone undress randomly #then marriage would solve the awkwardness this is truly the best deduction #which is really funny that i can see it happening with both leths despite my hc of them #with fyleth as bi and myleth as ace i think both would just be like AH cool we can avoid awkwardness by marriage #and hanneman just wants to go lie down in a ditch because he said something like that #and and byleth doesnt even know about religion while working at church school they dont know about school regulations #that wasnt really on their mind to check ok just saying you could tell byleth no to something #and then they just go oh school policies i understand unfortunately #and the person is like no we just meant its frowned upon to do archery practice in the tea garden its not technically illegal just dont??

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what #allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of #the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than #to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do #im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt #take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was #mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their #mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that #explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain #direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in #arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to #engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out #theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive #a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked #picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing #sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example #for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war #is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old #wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for #steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with #especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can #look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never #treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time #but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made #feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them #accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me #yapping #diary

The start of the Loop segment of the Siffrin & friends twitter QNA, and the message that flipped Loop's answers from silly to dodgy and blatantly upset.

Loopchat from speaking to Loop 20+ times.

Certified Loop dysphoria post

#isat loop #isat spoilers #i was gonna make a whole semisilly post abt how i think the public perception of loop as 'cunty' is kind of funny #(has bought into it before)#but to be honest it just made me start thinking more abt how loop perceives themself.#loop telling siffrin not to die too early so they have more time to go :( at siffrin's drawing. or well i guess it'd be :#man.#it does....interest me #siffrin seems to not be particularly dysphoric in like a gender sense. expresses interest in body craft but thinks #(You dont mind inhabiting this meat prison for the time being.) as well so #but by becoming a star loop kind of. simultaneously loses the freedom to Change the way they want to. no guarantee bodycraft works on stars #and loses the comfort of inhabiting their own body #congrats on the new body loop! sorry about the dysphoria #for as much as it's fun to poke at loop for being very obvious once you Know #it does. resonate something with me i guess that of all things this is one of the few things that loop isn't very good at deflecting about.#(in the sense of cutting the conversation short before it becomes capital o Obvious they are upset anyways)#i'm aware they were already transgender before becoming a star. but very transgender of you loop #oh! i guess i can say on the topic of cunty loop #it's kind of funny. like im not immune to drawing Cute Loops or making them silly and dramatic and flirty #and i think the thread of Drama they show on top of their not-typically-masculine (ig???) demeanor and flirting with siffrin #makes the perception of them as like. there has to be a better word than cunty but. cunty. somewhat understandable #once more the loop has deceived you. i mean i do think the drama is a little bit real they are a hashtag theater kid #but they have deceived you. you have fallen into their spiderweb of believing they are anything other than the world's most miserable beast #with your help we can crowdfund enough silver coins to buy loop a dysphoria hoodie. if we hit our stretch goal it can have a print on it

christ alive I love my parents and I'm glad I got to see them but they are just. so fucking exhausting

#i've identified something about them #which is this #they genuinely do not grasp that other people have Real Experiences that don't map to their view of the world #like it's not that they don't view those experiences as valid or whatever #it's that they genuinely and truly do not grok that other people have experiences they don't approve of #like that the experiences actually happen and aren't made up #“why do you insist on referring to X with they/them pronouns?”#“because they don't identify with a gender”#“well you're either one or the other”#“well they don't feel that way and they don't identify with a gender”#“well you're one or the other”#“okay but literally they do not feel that way and you not liking that doesn't change it like wtf and also sex and gender aren't the same”#etc etc etc ad fucking nauseum #fucks sake #also this is always my mom who drops this shit #my dad just pretends like nothing is happening and ignores the conversation like the wuss he is lol #to be fair i get it because i would not go up against my mom either if i was him because he has to live with her stubborn ass #it's probably obvious but they blithely misgendered me the whole goddamn time they were here #UNLESS THEY WERE IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE IN PUBLIC LOLOLOLOLOLOL #HMMMMMMMMM #FUNNY HOW THAT WORKS #anyway fuck them and i hope they get home safe because they're old as fuck and probably going to die in the next 5-10 years #and when they do it will be terrible and also part of me will be relieved and idk how to feel about that tbh #so like #yeah #:/#covington-shenanigans gets personal #(to be clear they just didn't use pronouns for me at all in public)#(they have never once gendered me correctly and probably never will)

it has always baffled me that ASL isn't taught as a second language in American schooling. or as a requirement for certain jobs that work with, well, people. the HLAA says that around 48 million Americans have hearing loss!! 1 in 5 teenagers!! 1 in 3 people over the age of 60!!! it's crazy to me that sign isn't more widely taught and used considering that you probably DO or WILL know someone who has hearing loss at some point in their life

#i know this is definitely not a new topic of conversation but i just think about it so often #obviously ableism and ageism is just rampant in america and thats why asl isnt more widely taught #because the thought in america is why would we help out the minority #or people think to themselves 'whats the chance ill ever need it'#and im like ???? probably higher than you think dude!!#i have friends with hearing loss and i have deteriorating hearing in my left ear as well (enough to notice in school but nothing crazy)#and thinking of that makes me think wow. i should really learn ASL #working in food service makes me think wow!!! i should really learn asl!!!#which i AM going to do mark my fucking words #anyway. i dont even know where this rant came from #motivation to learn!! and communicate with people different than me because i CAN #i guess i just wish it was more accessible to learn in schools or even mandatory!#westy's shit #rambling #i need to educate myself more on this topic and this is serving as my reminder

my timephoon hot take is that the episode was literally fine, it's the episodes that came AFTER it that fucked things up

#the final confrontation where louie and della say that shit to eachother? peak televesion #the next episodes shouldve. yk. resolved that #but by having the premise be “the entire family is goign to disneyland and leaving louie behind” uh...?#i get what they were going for but they fumbled so hard #timephoon introduces a lot of conflicts that the next episodes SHOULD have resolved #but they didn't. at least not well #like della and louie should've had a proper conversation #and also i dont think della was wrong for steppin in at the end of timephoon like that was warranted #her wording and execution? far from perfect #but she's trying #also. timphoon was fine yes but it could have been way better still #i would have preffered it if they went more in depth about the struggles of motherhood and how beakley and della both felt about it #give me beakley being vulnerable and opening up about how hard its been raising webby alone and how she GETS it #she gets not knowing what to do #she was a spy #she has no idea how to be soft and motherly but she's learned and she's trying and she did it alone #and she doesn't want della to be as alone as she was so she tries to help #but she's a certified grizzled ex spy so fuck if she knows how to be gentle about it #so it just makes della MORE insecur because beakley seems to have it all together #and i wish there was a scene where they could talk to eachother and beakley could admit that she doesn't #she's made mistakes she's fucked up but she's trying and aren't they all?#but yeah. for what timephoon was #it wasn't bad #but the following episodes fumbled #i forget if it was in timephoon or next erpisode were we got della telling louie to shape up or he couldn't be part of the family #like again that was BAD! BUT #it wuld have worked if the show adressed and had her learn from it #and showed that it wasnt out of malice its because she was doing her best!#but they didn't #they were...weird with it

God thank you for telling me about the vampire lestat youtube audiobook, ive tried all my library apps and the only copy had a 10 week hold. Also the youtuber is my boy daniel, hilarious choices were made!

You’re welcome!

A little background for others: So I started listening to the Audible TVL audiobook and I was like… wait no this is NOT the one I listened to when I was 12 so I started digging for it, trying to find it.

Turns out the one I loved at that age was the ABRIDGED version of the audiobook BUT even then, the unabridged was a totally different reader than the latest one. I eventually got used to the new reader since it’s the easiest one to play in my car, but…!

If you want to listen to The Vampire Lestat audiobook (unabridged) from the 90s there is a free version on YouTube that you can listen to here!

#iwtv #interview with the vampire #the vampire Lestat #which imo is a superior book to IWTV #and it’s just a lot of fun #and it’s very conversational so audiobook works REALLY well as a format #it’s like Lestat is talking to you for HOURS about himself #which is very in character of him

drew my ocs again. STILL can't draw Taran's human face but whatever, if he's just holding something in front of it we can't tell, right? Right?

Nakey version under the cut so you can see all the pretty textures I put on Haven.

#oc #haven #taran #contents: a little raunchy for tumblr #MFW your stupid boyfriend refuses to brush his own hair but he also refuses to cut his hair so if he goes on a long work trip and you're #not invited he just comes home with a horrible rat's nest and is like Ok you should sort this out for me. Cut it and I'll kill you btw.#conversation (not pictured) - Taran: ok well if you're not going to brush your own hair / Haven: don't even finish that sentence #Taran: they do these things called undercuts now. It won't even look like your hair is any different / Haven: I don't want to hear it #Taran: okay then you could bring a comb along on these trips maybe. / Haven: It's not that big a deal really / Taran: It's been three hours #of detangling. I made you shower twice with conditioner and it didn't help. / Haven: well this only happens like once or twice every few #years / Taran: ok and? i still don't want to be the only person responsible for brushing your hair #maybe he will succeed eventually idk i haven't decided. they're both very stubborn #haven's been like this for the last several hundred years and is not interested in changing but taran has gotten the better of him before.

What physical part(s) of Arsay does her partners find the most attractive! Is it the same for all partners or does it differ between them?

(also optional bonus ask of what part(s) of/about Arsay generally do they love the most, physical or not!)

Meanwhile, if you were to ask the same of Arsay:

#ffxiv #wolship #g'raha tia #y'shtola rhul #wolgraha #wolshtola #y'shtola x wol #arsay nun #graharshtola #y'shtola calling arsay a pain in her side is very much an affectionate thing btw #and i couldnt pass up the joke of g'raha giving the sweet gentlemanly response only for yshtola to be like 'tits tbh'#her defaulting to an answer that would probably stop the conversation before she has to talk to much about her deeper feelings imo #i have. a lot of feelings about yshtola and arsay's friendship #someone who is constantly trying to build walls between herself and others vs someone who desperately wants to form real connections #its not a 'wearing that person down' type situation either #just one lonely person seeing another lonely person and hoping that they could be less lonely together #or that she could at least bring some cheer to #and idk yshtola strikes me as the type to have been like 'if they want to be my friend they have to work for it'#which arsay certainly did #i could ramble on and on how their friendship lines up so well with yshtolas character development but theres a limit to these tags #so just look at how cute shtola is with the slightest blush on her cheeks #graha is a much more complicated topic since he went from Extreme adoration to I want to be her friend but I dont think im good enough #to 100% Hero worship again to Shes my hero and I love her to Shes a person and I love her #to I love Arsay. Even the parts she can't love in herself. I will love all of her till my dying breath.#he thinks shes the most beautiful person in the world and the most important thing in his life #but he now knows how insane she's been about being everyone's hero and he really doesnt want to feed that beast #so hes trying to build her up in other ways #focusing more on the adventuring side than the saving the world side #and then there is arsay who loves so much about her partners and is in capable of narrowing it down to any one thing so its #'here let me list everything that comes to mind right now' with 0 shame or filter

I just had a thought because it is rather widely accepted Hizashi is fluent in sign, it is something I also fully accept, but does he know only Japense sign language or has he learnt American as well.

And I say American as it does seem to the one that would have the highest chances of being useful as there is such a wide range of sign languages used all over the world so it seems the most practical, that being said I can easily see him learning others over it or in addition.

#txt — chatter #ch — yamada hizashi #genuinely curious about what people think as I do lean more he prioritised jsl and may know a bit of others #as he has less chances to utilise other sign languages in conversation to keep his skill with it up #also I do believe a majority of the pros know at least basic sign to allow for easy communication during stealth missions #those who tend to be fluent or have higher skill are the underground heroes though I can see those who work together a lot #developing their own methods of communication as a precaution so it does maintain some secrecy #just in case any villain they're up against does know sign for some reason #I also love the visual aizawa and zashi have their own and shit talk heroes they don't like right in their faces #they both can maintain the verbal conversation and perfect poker faces while doing it as well
