maybe if i start yelling about my bbc sherlock x haunting of hill house au from the rooftops it’ll actually motivate me to write it & wouldn’t that be an absolutely wild day for us all

#bbc sherlock #fic writing #my rambles #this idea has been haunting me (lol) for going on four years #truly insane work #don’t know why i’m so tentative to write it because it’s one of those fics that would alter my brain chemistry if it already existed #it’s purely self-indulgent #i’ve had it plotted for ages and it’s a beast of a fic #i’ve almost got imposter syndrome #i want it to come across the way i want it to and only i can do that but what if it doesn’t work #anyways maybe i’ll get to it now that i’ve got some motivation

I'm sorry but the irony of Nico calling Max unprofessional is sending me so bad like sir there's an entire garage full of people, who were literally in the trenches trying to survive the Brocedes fallout while just doing their jobs, who might have a few things to say about your (& Lewis') level of professionalism at that time 😭✋️

#f1 #formula 1 #formula one #max verstappen #nico rosberg #lewis hamilton #brocedes #like niki lauda had to try multiple times to literally parent trap them to try and get them on speaking terms it never worked #because one would arrive they'd see the other and the other would leave #& if i remember correctly the garage crew would swap around from race to race as a like see we aren't favouring anybody gesture 😭#and thats no shade to nico because it was both of them contributing to that environment #his comment re max is just making me laugh #like if i was a part of the pr/media team - which is a part of the degree I'm working on irl - at merc that year i would've lost the plot #like its insane reflecting on it nearly a decade later but the poor souls just trying to do their job in the eye of that storm #truly gods strongest soldiers #ngl the professional comment irks me a bit because its not like max is engaging in inappropriate work place behaviour #he's engaging in another aspect of racing that his involvement raises awareness of & that makes racing more accessible #& we all know how inaccessible not only getting into racing is but also to continue to pursue the further along you go #theres so many stories of 1 sibling giving up racing so the other can keep going because the family can't afford for them both to race #its a huge financial strain & we only see a handful of drivers talk about that & try to do something to change it #and nicos fellow sky sports commentators are routinely unprofessional on so many levels #additionally max had a lot of valid reasons to be annoyed at his team today #but alas he's not english so he's ungrateful #i hate that drivers can't criticise their teams or car without immediately being branded as bratty & ungrateful #ESPECIALLY WHEN THEIR JOB IS TO GIVE FEEDBACK #you can see the double standards from sky when say Lando or George have complaints with their team/car v the likes of Max and Yuki #especially Yuki my god the things i would do to get the British media to leave him alone #this was a jokey post at one point and then became a rant whoops lmao #I'll leave it that before i write an actual essay here 😭✋️

as much as I love history and Chicago history especially, I do sometimes forget how recent everything here is. I was at the Hull House Museum with a friend of mine the other day, and we had a wonderful time listening to the curator talk about the birth of social work, the women who drove it forward, and the ghost stories that haunt their stomping grounds despite no one really dying there.

As we were walking around after the tour, my friend pointed out that Jane Addams' dress (the one on display in that room, black and small and otherwise unremarkable) had an uneven hem. "Oh, good eye!" the curator, who was walking alongside us, exclaimed. "Addams' tuberculosis left her with some spinal curvature, even after corrective surgery. She had most of her dresses altered to ensure the hem would be straight when she wore them---but on a standard dress form, the hem looks uneven."

"I always forget that having a tailor or dressmaker was considered typical back then," I said.

"No, by that point it was much more common to buy a dress from Sears and have it altered," the curator replied cheerfully. "That's what Addams did."

The whole exchange was maybe a few seconds, but it sticks with me even now. The idea that Jane Addams bought a dress from Sears---where I have also bought dresses, where my mother bought dresses---makes me feel insane. And yet, we're only talking about a hundred years ago or so. Is it so unreasonable that I, as a disaffected teen, was drifting through racks of mass-produced garments, just as Jane Addams did a century before? The exact location of the hands making those garments has changed of course; the workers' protections that Addams' contemporaries fought for have resulted in offshoring that work to less-guarded parts of the world. But it gives me a strange sort of fellow feeling to think about it, all these many decades later.

#sears went belly-up in the last 20 years but it was a staple of my childhood. a truly wild coincidence.#I also felt the same little jolt of shock when the curator said that addams worked closely with florence kelley #who earned her law degree from northwestern; and alice hamilton who got her MD from U of M #like excuse me? those are places that currently exist. those are places I could earn a JD or MD from.#that said hull house is an incredible achievement. truly. I think of how much had to happen operationally and financially #to make it viable? the number of people involved both there and in the neighborhood? I get dizzy.#.......on a less serious note I have to believe that the relationship drama happening there must have been INSANE.#there's no way you can put that many passionate over-educated reformer lesbians in a room and not have fireworks.#city of the big shoulders

Consider: I repackage another ace attorney au (split phoenix au) into mp100 for the sillies

#doctorsiren #mob psycho 100 #reigen arataka #shigeo kageyama #mp100 fanart #mp100 au #split reigen au #digital art #my art #procreate #see split mob would be verrrry easy to do and I will do it once squib and lily finish the show #but split reigen is also very easy bc bro literally said that thing about how everyone has another side to themselves #so here we have Arataka. the one who is lonely and depressed and smokes #and then we have Reigen. the one who is confident and a businessman and charismatic.#he always tries to portray himself as Reigen 😭#he has a sucker in the third drawing bc he’s still not allowed to smoke in the office #also I think Arataka would say the manga thing:#‘I was never particularly proficient in anything and I wasn’t curious about anything’#and Reigen would say the anime thing:#‘I did everything efficiently and I was filled with curiosity about everything’#and so Reigen is who he wants to truly be but he has to come to terms and work on solving the problems of Arataka hello I am insane #I love pulling characters apart into two silly little versions and making them face each other externally :3 #aw man Reigen got all the ADHD while Arataka was left with the depression 😭/silly

gee wiz, it sure is cool that Gordon survived the resonance cascade, I sure hope he's doing well

Finally decided to give Gordon a ref for my au Aftermath (which i've talked about here. Once.)

Also bonus:

#half life #gordon freeman #HL Aftermath au #Aftermath Gordon #Eye contact tw #Drug mention tw #shmorps art #GRAHHHHHH this au makes me insane I need to talk about it here more #Also I used a different method of drawing here. Aka making a doodle sketch first then drawing over it.#It actually works better than what I was doing before. who woulda thought #anyway here's this. dumpster fire of a man #I truly. TRULY think if he had a chance to process his emotions after HL1 (which he does in this au) he would. not be doing well mentally #I have ideas on how to get into that but yeagh #Also. since you can kinda see him.#Aftermath Gman

Dedede at the end of revenge of the king

Day 4 of drawing random kirby shitpost for every day of October

#kirby #kots #kirby of the stars #kirby fanart #hoshi no kirby #king dedede #waddle dee #not my proudest work but also one of my proudest works somehow #i just has the vision and dedede truly is gru #and the adopted children is just Kirby idk #and instead of stealing the moon he's just stealing all the food #that cute agent from the second one is just meta knight #i started thinking about it as a joke it's almost scary how accurate it is #going back to filling up character blanks in star allies #I like to think everyone was horrified when they start realizing Kirby is a void #and dedede is the only one who's relieved #like holy fuck thank god that baby is actually an ancient god o just thought i SUCKED #I'm actually really fucking great you mean to tell me i went one on one with GOD?! that's nuts #before that Dedede just kept losing to a random child who happens to be weirdly strong #he was probably going insane #the void revelation gave Kirby existencial crisis but it gave dedede some peace of mind #out of topic but i need another dedede tour #if we get another meta knightmare before we get another dedede tour i think I'll go insane #forgotten land was the perfect opportunity for another one but hal is a COWARD #I'm also waiting for a waddle parade with bandana

#malevolent #malevolent podcast #arthur lester #arthur malevolent #john doe #john malevolent #my art #ahfdgfghsdd i have so many important things to do but these two have overtaken all of my waking thoughts so i'm fucked to say the least #adgfd i just wanna talk about them with someone but no one i know has the energy for that 12h long infodump #straight up today was my first truly no work day in a few weeks and what did i do? spent half the day figuring out how i want to draw arthur #still not sure if this the direction i wanna take his design in but somehow along the process he ended up as like my ideal look on masc days #tbh i don't have the time to unpack whatever that says about me ywy #john's design is very much still a first draft but i can't think about it too much or i might just actually go insane #this podcast makes me unwell(affectionate)#the universe is so evil for not letting me just draw them all day long ywy #in an ideal world it would be no diploma no uni applications only malevolent #.....i'm gonna stop with the rambling now #so yeah go listen to malevolent

Sight of a Star - Blue-ish Star Ryōshū and Don Quixote

#HERES HOW BLUE-ISH STAR BELIEVERS CAN STILL WIN I PROMISE #Rendering sucks but I do like how these look very much. I hate drawing armour. big fan of dramatic shadows however.#but! as for justifications:#B-iS is an abno regarding what one so desperately wants but cannot have - possibly connecting to Blue Star and the paradise-like place-#people wish to reach by throwing themselves into it. though what is offered by B-iS is a much less refined yet as tantalising #given the text of 'The irresistible allure is almost tearing you apart' and the less refined bit being implied by both design #[jagged edges of the actual blue shape and legs like dolls - both unlike BS' much rounder and more naturalistic design]#in short it's the manifestation of impossible dreams - for Don this is her quest for a just knighthood in the City of all places #and for Ryōshū [though idk her source] it is her final work of art - the Hell Screen #when approached one's body is 'pushed away' as if a manifestation of how it is unachievable. at least it is for them #'To be truly blue the one with the true blue must be left alone in one’s blueness.'#is what I interpret as: 'to truly dream the dreamer must be left to one's fantasies'#dreams by nature do not intersect well with reality. all their flaws will be shown and they will crack under the pressure of the real world #it is why the dream pushes them away. to preserve itself. also probably has something to do with how DQ also has void dream #and this abno gives pride boosts in its event. and I personally see pride as a sort of 'self assurance' or 'self above others' so to speak #as to chase ones dreams one must think themselves the exception. as the one that can persevere over the City #plus the HP damage and the various juxtapositions in the 'forward' option may be in reference to how dreams and reality don't mix.#harming those who chase them. though all the same the 'backwards' option shows that simply tossing them aside shall hurt in its own way #to think oneself 'impure' enough to give up on chasing it is all the same resignation on your uniqueness #as for the gift: the name is possibly to do with how lower stars seem easier to reach. and the effect of damage at minus SP....#going insane dream chasing?#but to take ones leave allows for it to be left behind without any further effects. you did not look at your dreams. acknowledge them at al #but are you better off like that? not dreaming? forgetting that brilliantly unfinished star?#but anyways I hope you liked my rambles. also this abno and everything related to Blue Star is so tastefully C flavoured that I love them #and fun fact! when I was first generally mapping sinners to unfightable/EGOless abnos I entirely forgot Ryōshū somehow. which led to this.#they don't have weapons they just kick real hard and it works well enough #limbus company #ryōshū lcb #don quixote lcb #🎠🚬

i think i’ll take a little break after next update, not long just a couple of days so that I can catch up on commissions and I can actually reopen them (can’t wait but I’ve honestly felt a little sick in the last week and I didn’t want to push myself over the limit!), I also feel the need to just kick back a little and recharge I am sure this will be beneficial both for me and the quality of my work :)

#my work schedule has been INSANE since last june #no breaks that weren’t forced upon me #but it’s truly out of passion and inspiration #you guys have always been incredible

kinda sad how davekat was like. it truly was a big deal at the time when it was confirmed by hussie. some of yall who came into homestuck after it was already over dont understand how great it felt actually to finally have a relatively healthy and affectionate m/m relationship shown in HS when all the others were typically dysfunctional, abusive, or one-sided. it was exciting!!! we were all jst kinda happy for dave and karkat yknow. even if it resulted in some pointless "which quadrant are they in?" discourse and some shipping wars but thats just par for the course in hs fandom

and then the epilogues and homestuck 2 dropped and like. ooooohhhhh my godddddd. its completely swamped in stupid melodrama and for some reason they completely ruined jades character for the sake of davekat angst and they ignored daves development in the comic for half-baked sexuality crisis plotline andlike. it feels like everyone turned on davekat and now its cringe or smth and its like. Wow . we had like . three years to feel good abt this and now its gone forever. Awesome

#homestuck #davekat #that poll reminded me of how fcking tumultuous the history of Canon Davekat has been #fucking insane honestly #i wish hs content jst stopped after friendsim #speaking of which can yall talk abt friendsim more than hs2? jesus christ #the fandom was at its most fun post-ending pre-epilogues...#can i also say ppl who REALLY hate davekat are ppl fighting air #like truly there is not much to get worked up abt so its funny when ppl get pissed over it existing

A portrait of Sir John Herschel because I‘m normal about Pulp Musicals

#yall don’t understand this took so long- amongst the five different versions this went through it took a total of 22 hours #and it’s finally done #god I love sir John Herschel #truly THE guy ever #it’s crazy because I started this way back in the beginning of April and finally picked it back up on Wednesday right before they announced #pulp 4 which I’m so fuckin excited about by the way #oh my god it’s going to wreck me I’m so pumped #and now I gotta get ready for pulp fortnight #but yeah I really wanted to draw him and I wanted to try something more elaborate that some of my typical stuff #I was going to do the shit where artists do the shading in greyscale and then overlay the flat colors but I decided fuck that #because I like to enjoy drawing and as I found out I DO NOT enjoy that #also for some reason doing realism and drawing curt is SO much harder than what I typically do #it took sooooooo long to get him down and make it actually look like him #oh hey fun fact about this drawing before I do my fun fact- I used a screenshot of Duke as a reference for this #ok now for a real fun fact #fun fact: Asteroids can sometimes have moons and rings of their own #alright now I’ve got a billion other drawings to go work on because the grind never stops yall #sir john herschel #john herschel #pulp musicals #the great moon hoax #the brick satellite #the ghost of the antikythera #Curt mega #my art #god yall I love pulp musicals #I’m so insanely pumped for pulp 4 it’s going to be the raddest thing ever #EVERYONE WHO IS READING THIS NEEDS TO GO LISTEN TO PULP MUSICALS PRONTO /nf #PLEASE (its on Apple Music and Spotify)

Wait does starstruck have like a harem or something with how many people she's shipped with???

yeah! she's ✨everyone's girlfriend!✨ no oc or canon character is safe from those big shiny eyes of hers!

i've actually always said this: that if 'dating' as we know it existed in her environment, she'd be the sort to accidentally be dating everybody. as it stands, she's just very polya and has a lot of love and clingy anxiety to give! she's small, but there's plenty of her to go around!

i feel like the tourney in particular is a bit of a scott pilgrim vs the 7 deadly exes situation. except it's just... starstruck vs the 7 knights she didn't realise she'd started dating 😂

#when you're an emotionally intelligent unconditional lover dropped into a vat of chronically repressed + touch starved folks #it just kinda works out.#i will say that a lot of these- especially OCs- are totally outside her canon timeline!! she has at least one canon “ship” but it's.. uh.#of all the OC ships jstruck is the primary one tho!! it's the realest To Me. insane amount of content. truly nuts. decades of story somehow #other good contenders are meteorstruck (real to me) and stell (non romo but she's their personal annoyance) and maybe redacted/redacted #my art #asks #🎀💖#others ocs #jstruck #starstruck dee #galacta knight #i'm tagging him but i want to be clear that the guy in this picture is moonverc3x's JAU galacta specifically #from J's timeline. not the galacta knight who is canon to *starstruck's* timeline. you can tell when it's my guy. you'll know.#is this #cw suggestive #because of the meme wording? just in case. i'll use it just in case.
