#truly I hope everyone’s doing well

[seawing-vibes]

Happy [Incredibly late] Valentines Day !!! Decided to do a trio of illustrations as I’ve done in previous years of diff forms of love!! Its only 3 but heres the list:

Sundew & Willow -> Romantic Love [They’re a classic! First queer POV’s and impactful ones for me!! They’re sweet together <3]

Qibli & Ostrich -> Familial Love [they are Cousins to me!!! Adopted family who are very protective of each other]

Turtle & Peril -> Platonic Love [Their friendship is so nice to me!! I don’t ship them at all - the heart motif is just used to symbolize love!!!! Also Turtles scales are canonically “as strong as diamonds” so him & Peril can make physical contact without Turtle getting burnt lmao]

Round 7

Round: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8

[foxy-kitsune]

logan retiring due to feeling ill (possibly from dehydration).

alex could barely get out of the car and needed assistance to stand.

esteban threw up into his helmet during the race.

charles having blurry vision during the race.

lance nearly fainting when getting out of the car and stumbling to the ambulance.

fernando burning inside the car.

lando and george opening their helmets during the race to get some air.

george trying to fan some air with his hands during the race.

oscar laying and max sitting on the floor in the cool down room to get some cold.

and this is probably not even all that we know of. watching the videos of the drivers having a hard time getting out of the cars i just really really really hope that everyone is doing okay and no one suffered any serious stuff from this race. they all need to have a long rest, a lot of water and medical check up to really make sure they are okay. this track is just dangerous. i don't know what but something needs to be done next year with this race like absolutely taken out of the calendar cause this cannot be happening for 10 years straight!

[sukugo]

i stopped reading jjk like 3 chapters after go/jo bc like all my faves were either dead, in shoko's basement in a constant shrodinger state, or got like one page every 5 chapters. IS GOJO ACTUALLY BACK ????? (this might be enough for me to keep reading even tho megumi is questionable, nobara is as above, i was told choso just died, nanami is obv gone, sugurus consciousness is ????, and i have no idea where maki is)

FDHDHDJHD YES HE'S BACK

well. kinda dhkfhfkdjfjf (the state of being a jjk fan is dire 😔) he's back in that we get a panel of eyes, that are referred to as "unmistakable"

(THAT IS SATORU. THAT IS MY MAN'S EYE!!!!!)

but also. he's referred to as a "ghost of the strongest". now. that's where the issue lies. bc is he referred to as a ghost bc he's someone presumed dead who came back. or is it bc he's a ghost in the literal sense (not actually alive but either an illusion or puppeteered by someone)

we'll only find out next chapter so PRAYER CIRCLE SATORU ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

#KDRAMAWOMENSWEEK 2023 | March 8th – 15th  2023

[alternatively: a week and one day to talk about and make things for women you appreciate in celebration of International Women’s Day] Inspired by @evansbrewster that’s no longer on Tumblr.com.

@kdramaladies will be hosting the event as well. I’ll reblog where I can and try to be present. Prompts courtesy of @dramaheroine who has dont 99.9999% of getting this week to happen, prompts and more, thanks so much. Gifs courtesy of @cuddlybitch, @haeyeongs and @orangesyellow. Thank you all so so much. Thank you to everyone that checks in about this when I am sure I’ll be sitting it out. KWW has been happening for eight years, this being the ninth which is nuts.

Please tag your posts #kdramawomensweek and/or @undergroundkdrama so they are easier to find, admire, and reblog.

Day 1: In Her Head

Women with rich inner worlds, full of hidden thoughts, desires and fantasies. Are her thoughts being revealed to the viewers in visually exciting ways? Think dream sequences, a touch of magical realism, voiceovers, a cut to a talking head or perhaps weird little animated cells…

Day 2: “It” Girl

2021 was all about Haves and Haves Not x2000. 2022 was the year of women in the legal profession. Tell us which of the characters fitting this year’s trend you have enjoyed the most and why. What made them better than the rest? Or what else do you think has been a popular theme/genre/topic for 2022 dramas? How did women fit into the equation? Here are a few examples: gangsters, “behind the scenes”, school violence, countryside living etc.

Day 3: The Help

Women holding everything together in the background, women who have to do all the dirty work, who do thankless labour regardless of the setting or time period. Servants, secretaries, domestic staff, cleaners, nurses, nannies, care workers, housewives…Let’s put some time aside to ‘celebrate those who don’t celebrate’ because they are too busy keeping things running.

Day 4: Bad Girls Club

Everyone loves an angst filled, angry revenge drama so lets talk about the women who seek revenge? Women who hold grudges and whose hearts are filled with rage. Women who hurt others (knowingly and unknowingly). Women who seek power over others and/or themselves in cruel ways. A day for celebrating women’s wrongs.

Day 5: Recommend Her!

Choose your fave – give us a Top 10 that you think she’d make e.g. Spotify Wrapped, her 2023 reading list, her watchlist. Personally, I think that Lee Yeo Reum from Summer Strike listens to a playlist like this (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3yrqVOEnwQG4z8czX8qD4k?si=36e45bbaeaad4892) as she walks around the village trying to make sense of who she is and what she wants. Today’s a day for projecting and recommending. Sneak your recs in here.

Day 6: Funny Girl Woman

We know women are funny, here’s your time to show love to the actresses who predominately act in comedies, female characters who you find hilarious and actresses who provide the perfect comedic relief every time they pop up onscreen.

Day 7: Lee Yoon Jung/Noh Hee Kyung OR Surprise!

Two pioneering women behind many of our classic favourite dramas. Think of this as a space for tributes to them, what you love about their dramas, Lee Yoon Jung’s direction, Noh Hee Kyung’s writing, your favourite female characters from their dramas… OR  Your favourite cameos by actresses! Who used their tiny bit of screen time in the best way possible?!

Day 8: Timeslip

What if time travel really existed? What if two female characters from different dramas, from different tv eras could meet? How are they connected? Why should they meet? Think of this as an opportunity for you to travel back in time.

Please also feel free to be inspired by the prompts from previous years (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2020 Part Deux, 2021, 2022).

First day back at the university and I still suck at this exactly as much as I did 4 years ago

[3416]

the thing about the mitch talk that makes no sense is like. yes, an organization CAN get someone to waive their nmc by saying they're not going to pay what he wants and it would be better for everyone involved to get on board with the idea of a trade if that's the path the organization has Most Certainly decided on, but mitch marner has all the leverage with the leafs in this situation, and it still hardly makes sense to force that or be sure of it at this moment. IF they approached him about not wanting to sign him for what they know he's going to ask which is prob 11.5-12.5 i'd guess (which... why THIS year would suddenly be the year they changed their mind about having a forward group make so much after signing absolutely ridic contracts last year is already lol and before a huge one comes off the books w jt... like.. flkdjs it feels like a fan fueled narrative of frustration here), that would essentially force him into giving them a list of teams he'd be willing to go to. it will be a short list of competitive teams who also are not going to want to be giving up much. the LEAFS would then have to find a trade that works within those very specific teams and is worth it to them, and they might say fuck it, mitch will be the better option to try to get us to the post season this year. and then be a) forced to let him walk for nothing in return if they still don't want to sign him at the end of the year or b) tempted to give him an extension where he MIGHT have driven up his own price based on performance that year. like it just. this narrative that mitch marner in the last year of his contract with a full nmc will be somehow forced out of the leafs and that's the LIKELY outcome is so ????????? tell me one trade where this team improves w the guys out here on expiring deals as it stands rn and why the organization would see improvement bc i can tell you they aren't just going to trade for the sake of cap space. i know the trade deadline and everything will also come into play if he hasn't been re-signed by then, but there's a very real chance mitch marner drives up his own price the way nylander did and then what. people are going to be even more furious like ??? just the surety with which people act like it is happening and Has to Happen despite not knowing whats available on the market or having a genuine proposal is actually terrible for the leafs, lol.

Wait shit people might actually care about me

Vague post is vague

Would it be worth it to send them an apology? They obviously don't want to talk to me, they've made that clear, and throughout the ordeal I apologized a number of times so would this just ring hollow? At the time I couldn't bring action to the things I promised to do better, I don't want to use my mental health as an excuse, it's simply just a fact of the matter. Part of me has felt anger about what felt like a lack of understanding of this, but another part of me is wondering if they were just tired of extending me grace and this was simply the final straw? I think that's what it is and it just simply came at a time when I was struggling the worst, but that's not their fault. I wish I had been mature/introspective enough to recognize and tell them that my being in a bad place means I should voluntarily step away for a bit, but I wasn't, and I hurt them because of that. I want to apologize for that now that I realize I've done that, but would this be for my or their benefit? I just feel like every decision I made in regards to this situation has been selfish, whether it was an active or passive choice. A lot of my actions were passive, but that's part of the problem. I hate that it took me so long to realize that and caused a good deal of hurt to people I cared about. I still think about them all the time, I miss talking to them, I miss being their friend. I feel like I don't know how not to be selfish and yet I also still feel so neglected. I desperately want a switch to flip in my brain so I can make it make sense and understand how not to do this again. I already made my mistakes with this friend, I highly doubt there's anything that I could say or do that would fix things, I think it would be selfish for me to even try. I think the best thing is likely just to move on. I hate that. I don't want to let them go. But this is where we're at, this is the consequence I must live with. I can't change the past but I can remember it and use it to do better in the future. I can use it to be better to the people still in my life. I just really miss the people who used to be my friends. I hope they're doing well.

Honestly, the season's been a little tough, and I just gotta say your comic strips and art have made me laugh so much in the past month. The silly expressions and your little messages in the tags never fail to crack me up. Thank you sm homie your whole page is awesome!

oh my gosh stop you’re gonna make me cry HAHA i am SO grateful to hear that i can help brighten up your day through my art. i don’t know if anyone truly comprehends just how much that means to me.

all i want is for everyone to be able to smile and laugh even if it’s over a tiny silly comic. and if i’m able to do that through my work, then i hope i can continue this forever HAHA

but really, i’m sorry to hear it’s been tough for you but just know you’ll get through it. and that i’m rooting for you! you’ve got this, alright? :) ❤️❤️❤️

thanks so much again!!! much love to you and anyone else who’s reading this!! your kind words have made me feel more motivated than ever ❤️❤️❤️

OMG HAPPY BIRTHDAY

You're so awesome!

By the way, I don't know what you're confused about Eclipse saying happy birthday, but what I do know is that they were reborn! Spoken from the VA Kellen Goff, it's their birthday because we helped them be reborn! :3

thank you :] ♡♡♡

and like.. the reason i get confused is just due to all the questions that eclipse's whole existence brings up... even the explanation you've mentioned could have different meanings!!

were they truly reborn? brought back into existence from some forgotten part of the dca's code? are they a separate entity from sun and moon, are they some sort of predecessor to sun and moon, or are they possibly even something that's a part of both of them that broke down somehow? but if that's the case then what even happened to them? and how long were they gone?

or are they actually a completely new thing, never before seen, never actually intended to begin with? because they don't have any merchandise in universe, there's no official mention of them anywhere in sb, and even their form in ruin doesn't have any unique elements and is simply a combination of sun and moon's parts... their original appearance in sb was literally caused by a glitch in the arcade machine. so why are they like this now?

and also... not to discredit kellen's words about it but we also don't know how involved he was with writing the script, or if he had any involvement in it at all.. so i'm personally not gonna accept it as a fact just yet :p

another day another "applying the concept 'disposability' to 'someone withdraws from a personal relationship, & that wasn't signed off on by the other'" kill me

Uh oh. Essay in readmore time

What's so frustrating is that for almost all of my life I didn't know I had adhd, and only found it out 5ish years ago

During ALL of my studies i was intensely freaked out and even when i got a grip on some of my mental health shit at uni, importantly I was still unaware of the adhd. And only had some professional tell me about their suspicion about it AFTER I could have received any support in my schooling.

And I have been working damn hard over the last half a decade to learn about myself and the way I work, and be kind to myself and open minded, and learnt from many many different people with adhd how they function - especially through advice on here bc much of Google is shit, and learnt what does and doesn't work for my personally.

I slowly unravelled and found myself. To a point where I'm actually functional and content in myself.

So now i find myself in the most intense, stressful period of my life since then. Grieving and finally understanding what people meant when they spoke about grieving a very close loved one. How nothing feels real even.

And I've found myself so extremely wired from having to do a very vast array of tasks all crammed into a short space of time with a close deadline - exactly the same conditions as during my studies.......... where nothing ever helped.

Yet. In the last thirty minutes I've unwound because I instinctively KNEW what to do. I found myself following all the things i taught myself about my adhd, and now I'm like 70% more chill???? Huh?????? Noticed suddenly that I've been using my ADHD self knowledge for the past few weeks and coped remarkably well because of it.

It's shocking because imagine what i could have done if I had ANY help with my adhd EVER in my life from the adults who were supposed to notice in my entire childhood. Like HUHHHHHH, I am shocked. Imagine how I'm here as an adult using 5 years of learning adhd related advice and stuff I learnt through self awareness .... and feeling better.

SHOCKING!!!!

PS - long ass tags that immediately ramble away from my initial post and go into something positive and that made me feel fluffy inside. You've been warned
