I’ve been showing my parents Scavengers Reign while I’m at home, we got to ep10 tonight and when Azi and Mia kissed my dad gasped and said “She [Azi] should be kissing the robot instead!” so I’m glad he understands the show perfectly

Cleaning my grandmas room was supposed to be cathartic in somw way but really it just relieved the pain in my chest thinking she'd be yellin at me for not doin it sooner

ambition swap au?

ough ive had many thoughts for Ambition Swap concepts but the big one I have is for Alex doing Nemesis with Jamie being the one killed

general warnings for discussion of major character death obvs and spoilers for nemesis

The general timeline and balance of the backstory here is inherently shifted - since Josephine's brother wasnt killed in this timeline, this means she never ends up at the school, and never met Alex and Jamie (and never will meet Jamie). Alex and Jamie do end up meeting the same way, but without Josie there to balance out the dynamic things are steadily more codependent between the two of them, and the arguments also a lot worse. Both of their experiences are impacted by the fact neither of them meet Josephine, but especially for Jamie to have never had their first friend.

Alex has always been in a more of caretaker role with Jamie when they were younger, even more so here. Jamie's mental health situation develops much quicker in this timeline, a crudge between the two of them with Jamie's unhealthy habits. Alex storms out of the apartment one night after a particularly bad argument.

That was the last time he ever saw Jamie alive

Loosing Jamie is a fundamental crack in Alex's psyche, and not something he would ever be able to move past. I always like that trope in stories where the protagonist hallucinates/maybe sees the ghost of their lost one, so that would be at play here (See: The Mad Ones or Next To Normal). In the story this would serve as a outword vocalization of Alex's doubts as he argues with the figmant of what remains of his friends memory. He can't bear to let go of even this unhealthy aspect. There's nothing else left.

In the main timeline, Alex is never a fan of murder and will always choose to deal with things in other ways if he can. That is not the case here. The ambition would resolve with a full murder route, a hollow and empty conclusion, but a conclusion none the less

(bonus: i like the idea of Alex finding a way to get some of Jamie's writing published after they passed. So something of theirs can live on; what they always wanted)

Send me a potential AU and I’ll tell you five fun facts that would happen in a story.

oh. since dawntrail's early access (which i won't be playing because i'm still behind) goes live tomorrow maybe here is a list of five ffxiv songs that i love hehe (in no particular order)

look i have the andorst of us going full blast in my head but the piece of apocalypse media that it’s really in washing machine rotation with is station eleven. there’s something to me about how andor is a show that full on gazes straight into the eyes of the most horrific human evils, and yet also is the first piece of star wars property that has convinced me, utterly convinced me, that a better world was possible in the galaxy far far away. that community and love and collective action really could be found anywhere, could save people anywhere, that this is a world in we which we climb together. there is a hope! there can  be a rebellion BECAUSE there is a hope!

something about how station eleven by refusing zombies or aliens or any easy We-Just-Shoot-’Em targets of the apocalypse to go straight for the silent, jaw dropping horrors of a pandemic and social collapse ends up far more terrifying than any zombie film, and yet is the piece of apocalypse media that makes me bellieve anyone would want to outlive the apocalypse. that shows that through community and love and art between strangers and family alike we might want to survive. we survive because the brute action of survival itself is insufficient! 

just like. the show that said a community marching band playing a funerary dirge would be an ultimate act of rebellion handshakes the book and show that say after the end of everything a travelling shakespeare troop will go around lake superior again and again and again to keep on playing and keep on playing and keep on playing....

1 and 3 for the fanfiction ask game.

1. Share a song that makes you think of [fic title]

Oh boy, i have to choose a song and a fic. Umm Disloyal Order of the Buffalo by FOB has really given me vibes for my lockwood fic. And I'd promise you anything for another shot at life is SO Skull

3. What’s your favorite fic that you’ve written?

I enjoy most of my fics to an extent but as for fics I really think I did well on, it would be ad perpetuam memoriam, Innocence and Experience and rise up and hear the bells.

OKAY so I finally got to watch Taika Waititi's Next Goal Wins and like. That was brilliant?? I saw the mixed reviews when it came out and got worried but couldn't see it at the cinema because of stuff that was going on and I JUST finished it and OH MY GOD?? I LOVED IT

Not as good as Boy or like Hunt for the Wilderpeople but it was a hell of a lot better than some other stuff I've seen recently honestly I really liked it

This man can do no wrong honestly it was beautiful

i'm always telling my friends to raise their commissions by $5 or so, so when i saw the tags on ur post i was like "huh i wonder what his commission prices are" and oh man. i say this with so much gay artist affection in my heart: you could double those prices easily!!! INCLUDING bringing the percentages up from 25% to 50%!!!

i know u said u were terrified of raising the prices, and if you're anything like me (and you might not be! if so, sorry for assuming!) then it might be like, imposter syndrome type "what i make isn't worth that kinda money" or "why would anyone pay $30 for a left facing bust drawn by me? i sure wouldn't!" AND if that's the case, i do want to counterargue: YOU DID! YOU DO! YOUR ART IS WORTH THE MONEY! regardless how artists feel about their creations (and we are always are harshest critics) that is a skill you have put SO much time into developing! hours, days, YEARS of your life! not just halfassing it either, but you do studies too!!! you put EFFORT in!

i hope this ask isnt too presumptuous (sorry for being on anon but my main is super silly 😭) but. one artist to another. mwah mwah 💚i promise your art is worth the pay, i promise you not only deserve it, you've earned it (YOUR SKILLS! HONEY UR ANATOMY IS EXCELLENTTTTT! UR EXPRESSIONS TOO!) and if ur worried that people won't come, just do art that makes you happy until they do. people will come eventually and be willing to pay the prices you set! sometimes, higher prices even paradoxically encourage people bc the art seems more like...a special luxury for a patron of the arts 💅 a classy lovely special treat purchase for a customer of EXCELLENT taste.

anyway if this ask makes u uncomfortable u dont have to answer it of course! just know that im rooting for u and i think u deserve the best!!! 💚💚
