You know what? I like the idea of Copia’s potential dating life being absolutely rattled by his well-meaning but absolutely insane family.

Primo tells him to do it old school and offer his crush flowers. Proceeds to create a bouquet of poisonous plants for Copia to present (“Careful not to let this one receive more than two hours of sunlight.” “Per day??” “No, in total. Too much sun and it releases spores they haven’t yet created an antidote for.”). Copia coincidently forgets the bouquet in his room when he goes to meet his crush.

Secondo tells Copia to take control. To flaunt his wealth and power and his crush will throw themselves at his feet. Now, Copia does enjoy fine materials himself. But…the idea that they’ll only want to be with him because of his money and means just agitates his anxieties about being unwanted as a person. He only feels vaguely better and more full of hope when his crush notices he’s down and offers him a juice box. They ask if he’d mind if they sat next to him with their own and he sheepishly gives them the okay. He’s fighting for his life to not let his blush region turn ablaze.

Terzo means well the most, offering advice. But it’s of the sexual variety. And while Copia does want to do…stuff…with them eventually, he feels much more comfortable wooing them first. “Ah. Well. Lean into being Italian, then. Though…When I say ‘lean’, I actually mean to dive headfirst into it. You need the help.” (Yes, that was inspired by this ) Copia, dressed in his red sweats and a shirt that reads “Sweet Dreams Are Made of Cheese 🧀”, furrows his brows in confusion. “What do you mean by this?” he asks, taking a sip of his juice box.

Even if she’s dead, Sister stays working. This includes messing with the schedule to make sure Copia’s crush frequently interacts with him. However…she almost literally hovers. Telling Cardi to fix his posture, to speak up, but also to not be distracted — You’d think she wouldn’t really care about her son’s love life but I think in a way, her interfering is an extension of her efforts to make it up to him for the life he wound up having. Suffice it to say, it stresses Copia out.

Nihil…You can’t just… You can’t give your son advice on making out in the car and groping and whatnot. And for the life of SATAN, STOP IMPLYING YOU USED THIS SHIT ON YOUR SON’S MOTHER —

At the end of the day, though his family probably means well, they’re just not good for this and make the whole situation worse. Either Copia toughs it out and tries to woo his crush on his own, or Only Sane Man Psaltarian just cuts it straight and tells him “Just ask them out. If it doesn’t work, you tried and it’ll be over quicker than if you just nursed this. If it dies, la dee dah.”

I think on this fine Saturday afternoon it's a good opportunity to take a breather and remember that there are really no ethical paparazzi pictures. Every single one is inherently exploitative.

Just because photos were taken on a movie set, when someone is 'working,' does not make the practice any less invasive and creepy. Imagine just going about your day, doing your job and having some weirdo snapping pictures of you to sell without your consent for others to endlessly repost online.

There are thousands of pictures of your favourite actor online already. Plenty taken with his knowledge and consent. I'd really like to see more of them on my dash, rather than the creeper shots.

And don't get me started how disseminating these pictures directly leads to people going to said sets. What starts off as admiring how good someone looks has real world implications.

No, hanging around a movie set and disrupting people doing their jobs is not harmless fun or a way to show your appreciation.

If you hang around a movie set, you are a stalker.

Don't tell me that it's okay to take your online admiration for someone offline. You may admire him but he does not, and will never, personally know you. He will never be your friend/boyfriend/daddy. He is a stranger.

The only way meeting your favourite actor is going to happen is at a convention or maaaaaybe a movie premiere if you're incredibly fortunate. You know, places they appear specifically to meet fans (or not in the case of premieres, where the purpose is to promote a movie. Which is also completely understandable if actors don't stop. You are not owed an interaction).

Of course, you cannot help it if you randomly run into someone you admire in the wild. Even then, consider that they probably won't be all too thrilled to be approached in public by a complete stranger. It's up to you to gauge the situation, but remember there is a person at the heart of all of this.

Boundaries and respect are a kindness which deserves to be extended to each and every human being regardless of their looks/talent/fame/wealth.

Fandoms blur those lines a little too often for my liking and I think just scrutinising what you're interacting with, or what behaviour you could be possibly falling down that slippery slope towards is nice to do every once in a while.

I mean no malice with this post and it is not directed at anyone in particular. It's something I cannot help but feel strongly about because I've seen this destructive cycle time and again in fandoms over the years. It's not healthy and it makes us all a little bit more disconnected from our humanity for it...

At some point or another I’m going to have to make a seagull appreciation post, because now why on Earth would someone declare their hatred for them right after I say they’re my favourite birds :’’(

And that's a wrap! Part of the reason why this took so to finish is because I actually lost the script for the 2nd half of the comic. I still knew what I was aiming for and the rough sketches were already laid out, but I was still bummed because I tend to put in a lot of thought into the dialogue of these characters. In the end though, I think I'm happier with how the final script turned out :]

It's also worth noting that despite an earlier comic I made (before this blog even existed), I've changed my stance and don't believe everyone always referred to him as Karl right off the bat.

After all, names are more of a human thing than anything else.

I don't know if people care about this game anymore but I do and thought I'd share anyway.

i believe there is a higher power only because this is the second time i have narrowly avoided being caught using my archivist privileges to go on my phone in peace instead of working

Both have the same energy. No I shall not elaborate any further.

tomorrow is gabriel lightwood birthday! do you mind sharing some hc of him?

his birthday is now yesterday (my apologies to both gabriel and you anon) but i think we can still celebrate with some hcs hehe

i think that once gabriel kinda found his own agency and started discovering the boundaries of his own morals and priorities, he also started finding other smaller ways to stake his claim on his own identity. and by small, i do mean slightly silly. like maybe there's a certain color tie that's very much not in style that he decided he loves and he wears it everywhere. idk just something to remind him that he can be his own person and that he can change yk?

less of a hc but i think this plays a lot into why his older children are both so much their own people. he never would have wanted to control how they viewed the world. given how cecily was raised, she would definitely feel similarly.

now that i'm on the topic of their family, i think gabriel would be a really playful dad. tossing kids up in the air, chasing them around.

he also takes the time to learn each kid's language in a way that helps them communicate and feel understood, which i think points to his aptitude for the teaching parts of parenting as well.

semi-related, i feel like his love language(s) is definitely more quality time and physical touch than any of the rest.

in fact i think he's so bad at gift giving that it's endearing. he's good at meaningful gestures, but only when the situation happens naturally. when it has to be planned and intentional tho.. like cecily's birthday will come up and he'll be at such a loss that anna got used to buying her mom an extra present with her dad in mind, and usually it's just the kind of thing he would have gotten cecy.

and speaking of birthdays.. happy belated to our beloved brat hehe <3

Remember Gem's beehive origin? It wasn't a bee origin, i think the text said it was a lot of bees holding together a form. But my headcanon, which i would've explored more if not for insectophobia, is that she's literally.. a hive. Like, the bees straight up makes home inside of her. That gave me an idea for an urban fantasy new life au, and the irony is that i literally wanted to do the same thing with origins smp, but i accidentally recreated kagepro and i was never the same person again. Either way, didn't go past the ideas stage on both things. I literally want an urban fantasy au so bad but kagepro is literally my only inspo for that 🤷‍♂️ so there's that
