#things I should check before I tag

[lucabyte]

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

And I find it extremely weird for ppl to keep calling only kakashi "a state dog" just for being a Shinobi when there are hundreds of other Shinobis exist!!! Why don't I see anyone saying the same absurd bs about Gai? Yamato? Asuma? Kurenai? Tsunade? Minato? Anko? Iruka? Naruto himself? All the literal other Shinobis in literally all the other hidden villages, but yeah let's keep calling Kakashi, the one Shinobi that disobeyed his superior's orders over and over again because he believed they were wrong THAT, the only Shinobi who refused to pass children who weren't ready as Ninjas to go die in missions and defied the Hokage for years about it not caring about being hated for it by anyone, when the first lesson he ever taught to his students was "Do not blindly obey the rules" and only passed them when they disobeyed him and chose what they believe is right over his orders, Kakashi, the only Hokage who did actual good changes to the village and the ninja world, like the "No kill policy", like cleaning the system from ROOT even tho that gained him so many enemies and like the exchange system he built between the Shinobi nations and more... Calling Kakashi "a state dog" simply wipes his entire character and personality and all the good he has done to paint him into a picture that doesn't even remotely represent him or who he is!!!

trying to get my fic recs tag together and it's kind of hard to remember all the fics i've read. i used to just tag fics with the same things i would tag art or a text post with because i didn't really see any reason to differentiate them and now i'm struggling bc i can't find them...

shout out to haven for having many cool fics. i think more than half of my fic recs tag is currently made up of links to their fics

trying to remain normal and realistic sooooo bad but internally im like. can't believe im getting poddpapang as the main pairing in a BL series where they're gonna play 30 years old characters on real actual legit television on my screen and a new jimmysea series on top of that in actuality FR

Just saw this comment on a story posted a month ago.

*cries in Eddie Munson Solo Series no one wanted to read, interact with or request for*

No shade to the person that commented this on their own fic if you recognize it. It's not their fault. I'm not mad at them. More crying in the tags.

JaxsTober Day 4 - Powers

ok its really hard to stick with the kinda thematic song/poem quote theme ive got when its just kinda a silly doodle page showing some of what Jaxs can do sadfjklsdgl;

im just gonna use down here to explain a lil bit and expand on his powers.. i guess lol

so first off Jaxs (...like Bill kinda) can see into the 4th dimension! It's why his eyes are Like That! It's a bit more noticable when i doodle young Jaxs before he gets the shadow stuff, but i havent posted young Jaxs now have i? lol you'll see baby Jaxs on Day 6 i promise <3

(also? very proud of this ^ is so pretty lol)

Jaxs also does not HAVE a shadow! Hence why that first prompt list drawing looks kinda weird lol. i realized afterwards that him not having a shadow messes with lighting but its funny so whatever

anywyas. With him not having a shadow (he eated it...) he can travel through other shadows! see:

(while we're here, look how cute Mabel is :D never properly drawn her before this <3)

he's got a bit more shadow related stuff but im still debating on those parts so. thats all

minor feature: he can twist his neck all the way around like an owl. or like beetlejuice

how i picture it ^^

anyways this was a simple yet fun one :)

these aren't all his powers btw, just the ones i thought to doodle :3

Unplugging is looking more and more appealing. I cant seem to escape the depressing discourse on any corner of the internet, my options seem to be a.) Unplug and spend hours of the day bored but ultimately at peace or b.) Spend hours doom scrolling and getting progressively angrier at random people online

I should really just focus on my hobbies; writing, art, language learning, reading, working out, knitting. I've got a massive backlog of projects that I don't work on (although I am getting better about that) but I really should cut my internet use down significantly

@bylerficrecweek this is such a nice idea, thank you so much for doing this!

All the Time in the World by @notebooknonbinary

Mike and Will navigate life after the Upside Down. The first year, trying to figure out their new normal. Hospital visits, Sophomore year, dating, and therapy. Through it all, they have each other.

heaven help a fool who falls by @ratherbeyouthful

They killed Vecna years ago, but Will still feels the fallout. When a trip to California for a five year reunion brings his staggering instability to light, Will is reminded that he has more than one person to lean on, and Mike Wheeler is at the head of the queue.

(Alternatively: Will and Mike realize what it means to heal while you’re in love)

let's be lucky people, you and me by @catboy-cabin

"I didn't want to ruin the mood for you."

Mike's voice cuts through the whirlwind in Will's head much more effectively than any breathing exercise ever could. He's sitting down now, arms folded on top of the table, peering up at Will – or, well, a spot just above Will's head – through his bangs with round eyes, even darker now than usual in the low lighting. Even with his back mostly turned to the lights, they still manage to hit the plains of his face just right, and Will's fingers twitch with the urge to trace the edge of the highlights gracing his freckled cheekbones.

Will blinks back at him. "What?"

"The heart decoration thingy." Mike cocks his head to the side, drumming the fingers of one hand against the tabletop. "I asked if I could move it because I wasn't sure if it would ruin the mood or not."

or: it's valentine's day, and will doesn't know that he and mike are on a date.

The Anniversary Effect by borealisaurora

Mike and Will haven't been friends for three years; not since Vecna was killed, the Byers-Hopper family moved away, and Mike decided Will would be better off without him. Now they're college roommates (at the insistence of their mothers), and they do a pretty good job of avoiding each other until Mike notices that there's something going on with Will...

OR

Will experiences the anniversary effect, and though Mike let Will bike away on November 6th, 1983, he decides he never wants to let Will go again.

"or at least until the afternoon" by TheWrongKindOfPC

Will asks, "What if you were talking to a friend who was a girl?" but he doesn't mean Max, Mike’s actual friend who is a girl. No, Will’s asking what would you tell me if I were a girl? and the answer to that is something entirely different.

Because if Will were a girl, they wouldn’t be having this conversation at all. If Will were a girl, he wouldn’t be asking questions about how to ask a guy out, because he and Mike would already be dating.

In which Mike has kind of a rough time in college, and talks on the phone about it a lot.

you can hear it in the silence by @astrobei

Will moves back to an upright position, wiping his hair out of his eyes, head and shoulders peeking above the water. “Mike,” he says, pulling Mike up with him, their fingers still intertwined.

“Yeah?” Mike says, tilting his head so the water trickles out of his ears, wincing slightly. “What is it?”

Will’s eyes dart back and forth between his, and then Mike feels his hand squeeze his own. “I don’t want you to, like, think I moved back for you,” he starts, which in and of itself would be enough to get Mike’s soul soaring straight out of his own body, if it weren’t for Will’s thumb pressed against his pulse point like some kind of mortal tether. “Because it’s not like that, I promise. But I think– I think I realized there’s a difference between things you want and things you need, you know?”

mike wheeler on losing people and having them again, the difference between wanting and needing, and finally letting go.

Hey, do you got doctors appointments you need to schedule but haven’t for whatever dumb reason (for me, laziness. probably. no no, complacency. That sounds better)? Well, go do it! Now! or soon! You need to just hurry up and schedule that shit! I’m sorry! Make the call! You gotta! You’re probably gonna have to wait multiple weeks for the appointment anyway, so if you wait until the problem is really bad, then you’re just condemning yourself to waiting extra long to get checked out. Jeez!

I just realized there are many new people in the fandom who weren't here when I made my Which KotLC Character Do You Remind Me Of? uquiz! (15 questions, but 14 possible results so there are multiple options for everything. you have a bit of reading ahead of you, but it's still quick!)

I spent a lot of time and thought on it and people are taking it to this day--though I have no clue how they find it. It would be very cool of you to check it out if you wanted to :)
