#tag talk#I hate that my queue is posting so much right now. 25 a day is too many I think. I really wish I were down to 10-15 instead#but I've been living on tumblr so much until work starts so I've been seeing more art so I've been queuing up a ton#so I apologize but that's just how my blog is gonna run until I get busier irl again.#when I get busy living my real life I'll drop down to like 10 a day but until then my queue reflects my time spent here.#idk. it's nice to hit the point when I realize I don't have time to keep up with my dash anymore and I start unfollow lower priority blogs#but for now I'm way more active here until I can transition to finding in person activities#so yeah. deal with it I guess. Lotta new followers who have each followed me for wildly different things.#like.. sorry to all the cute furry art lovers. I'm trying to transition over to more body horror shit.#sorry to the body horror and Hannibal lovers. you still have to put up with cutesy furry art if you wanna stay here.#idk. we all contain multitudes. at least you can trust I won't be reblogging basic bitch meme shit#it's still always gonna be art shit on this blog. that at least has been consistent since 2015#what that art is? Who fucking knows. but it'll always be art in some form or fashion.#or educational shit. some of that too.#idk. my mind is a mess right now and my blog will reflect that. I am what I am. I try and communicate myself honestly and truthfully.#I try. that's the best I can do.#oh oh oh. my brother and I went for a walk along the train tracks and we met a guy trying to drive his car down the alley alongside it#he was stuck because there was a heap of tree trimmings piled in the middle of the alley so we helped him move them.#well. I helped him move them. my brother is a little more skittish than I am and didn't want to get his shoes muddy.#my brother is the kind of person to buy shoe protecting spray (which I didn't even know existed until he bought some this morning)#I don't give a shit. I've gotten concrete and mud and paint on my vans. he's too ocd for that tho.#anyway. poor guy was lost as hell. there's no road connecting to that alley for like.. at least three miles. I checked when we got back home#the trail was clear past the branches though so he got back on the road safely. but damn he was lost as hell.#I love frequenting alleys and bridges and washes because you see such interesting stuff.

Stress Is Bad For Your Health: Harvey x Fem!Reader (Smut)
Hope everyone is doing well ~ 💚
Art Cred: @mimipippin
Word Count: 4,314
Third POV
You somehow always find yourself here after a long day. You sit at the bar, never drinking much, but trying to soak in some of the relaxed ambience of the saloon, hoping it'll somehow melt off some of the stress. You didn't assume being a farmer would be easy, but that wasn't it. It was being a farmer, helping the community, rebuilding the community center, mining, fighting off beasts. Really the list went on and on. It was overwhelming. You sipped your drink.
As you lowered your mug you could see the familiar green coat in your peripherals as you were joined at the bar.
"Hard day?"
You looked over now. Harvey always had this cute sort of charm to him in your opinion. Like he was just a little bit nervous to be around you. You sighed, running a hand down your face.
"Clint wanted some iron samples from the mine today. I don't think I've ever seen that many bats in my life."
His expression became one that was more concerned.
"Are you hurt at all?"
"No, I'm alright. Just stressed I guess."
You said, sipping your drink.
Harvey didn't seem convinced, watching you as you did.
"Stress can be bad for your health, Y/n. It impacts your immune system and makes it easier to contract illness. Not to mention the long term affects"
"I know, I know. Don't worry about me, Harvey. I'll be fine."
"Have you tried anything to relieve the stress?"
"I tried a few things. None of them really stuck."
Which was true. No matter what you tried, nothing really helped you relax, even this. Harvey hummed a bit, trying to think for a moment. He wanted to help you, the same way you've done so much to help the community.
"What have you tried?"
"I dunno, yoga, meditating, going to the bath house. And this."
"Well, I can say looking for relief at the bottom of a bottle won't do you much good."
You caught his quick glance towards Pam, who sat across the bar on her third mug of beer. You had no intentions of becoming a drunk, but you could see why that'd be a concern for him.
"I'm not. Trust me, Harvey, I have no interest in drinking myself stupid."
He seemed to relax a bit at that, though still thinking on your behalf.
"Surely there's something that'll help you relax."
You shrugged. You were used to it, not that that was a good thing. His face went a bit red as a thought dawned on him.
Both of you were painfully aware of the tension you had, but it was something neither of you could possibly find a way to address without making things weird. And now, he was considering breaching that barrier between the comfortable tension where no one needed to say anything, and the certainty that you had feelings for each other but all the unknown that comes with that.
"I apologize if this is an invasive question, but have you considered, uh, finding someone to assist you with your stress relief."
You looked at him for a moment, puzzled, like you might not have been following what he said. He continued quickly, more flustered now.
"I just mean, in the sense of, suggesting it as another option that may help you. Plenty of people seek intimacy as a form of stress relief or regulation."
You blushed now too. You hadn't considered getting the stressed fucked out of you, but you also weren't really the one night stand type of person. And with how small Pelican Town was, you didn't think sleeping around would be the best idea anyway. You looked at Harvey, who looked nervous enough to fall off his bar stool. You decided to try and lighten the mood. Or maybe just tease him. Either would be ideal.
"Is this an offer, doctor?"
He blushed harder if that was at all possible. He stammered out quickly.
"I- Well, I wouldn't- Not necessarily."
You raised a brow, an amused smile creeping onto your face. You sort of liked that idea, letting Harvey try and help you relieve your stress.
"Well, if I were to try this method of stress relief, who better to put myself into the hands of than the trusted town doctor?"
You smiled, leaning on the counter and tipping your head. He took a moment, analyzing all the thousands of ways this could be wrong versus how incredibly beautiful he thought you were and how he wouldn't want to give you off to someone else for this. He was looking away as he spoke, too nervous to look at you.
"If.. you believe it'd be in your best interest, I don't see any issue with.. ah, assisting you with your stress problems."
You put the money for your drink down on the bar and extended a hand to him.
"Shall we then?"
"Now?"
"I don't see why not. As long as you don't bite as much as the bats tried to."
You winked. Despite being mildly concerned about that comment, he did take your hand. You left together, making the walk out to the farm. The walk was quiet. He was thinking about all the ways this could go. The last thing he wanted was to disappoint you, especially when this was, or so he kept telling himself, for your health. He wondered if this would effect his chances with you, in a positive or negative way. On one hand, it was an opportunity to get closer to one another on an emotional and physical level, but on the other, to skip over so many of the usually relationship steps and get right to sex wasn't the kind of thing that had a good track record of leading to long term partnerships. He didn't want this to be a one night stand or some kind of friends with benefits thing. He wanted to care for you, cherish you, hold you in his arms after a long day at work and kiss your forehead before blissfully drifting off to sleep. He wanted to see you sleepily stumble from the bedroom in the morning and join him for coffee in the kitchen before you both began your day. He wanted to take you somewhere lovely on some sunny day, take your hands in his, and give you a mermaid pendant. He wanted to be the only person you'd come to for stress relief.
Soon you both arrived at the farm. You opened the front door, going inside and kicking off your boots. He followed suit, taking his shoes off at the door. You turned to him.
"You alright if we head to my room?"
Yes, the plan was to have sex, but you still felt the need to ease him into this. He was usually nervous, so you'd imagine now being no different. He nodded. So, while still holding his hand, you led him back to your bedroom. It wasn't anything too fancy or special. Truthfully, aside from sleeping you didn't spend much time there. You turned on a small lamp near the bed, which illuminated the room with a dim, warm, yellowish glow. You sat on the edge of the bed, having now let go of Harvey's hand.
"Is there any particular way you'd like to proceed?"
He asked. He was really a bit lost on what you wanted from him. He wanted to do good for you. You pat the bed beside you, urging him to also sit.
"I figured we could just feel it out as we go."
He sat beside you, though wasn't looking at you just yet. He was steeling his nerves. You admired the doctor for a moment. Gently, you reached over to cup his cheek and turn his face towards you. He looked at you now, waiting for you to make the next move. You figured you'd be leading this for the most part, but were surprised when he reached for you, placing a hand on the small of your back, simply touching you. He was cute. You leaned in, kissing him softly. It didn't take him more than a moment to adjust and return the gesture. As you suspected, he didn't fight for control, though he didn't fully surrender to you either, doing fairly well at matching you. His hand wandered down, resting on your hip as you deepened the kiss. From his cheek, you trailed your hand down his chest. You'd imagined what he may look like beneath the button up and the jacket. So many layers. Left too much to the imagination. You began your attempt to push off his jacket. He pulled back slightly.
"Allow me. This is for you after all. It wouldn't be right for me to make you do all the work."
His voice was slightly hushed. You blushed hard at that. It was a new side of him. Still caring, yes, but it was more... sure. He took off his jacket, setting it on the foot of the bed. You watched as he loosened his tie, sighing a bit as he did. You were practically in awe. He looked back at you, looking you over a bit.
"If... we are to continue this direction, would you like some assistance undressing, y/n?"
You nodded, maybe a little too quickly. The idea of Harvey undressing you was just too good to pass up. You'd love to feel what those precise doctor's hands felt like brushing against your skin. He moved to be standing in front of you, slipping his hands under your shirt. He wasn't much of a tease, taking it off of you gently but with little ceremony. He set your shirt nicely off to the side before looking at you. There was a bit of a glaze over his eyes. You could only describe it as a look of want. Need.
"Will you be taking off your shirt as well, doctor?"
You teased, breaking him out of his little daze. He nodded, pulling his tie off fully.
"Yes, of course."
He went to work unbuttoning his shirt, looking down as he did. You watched it slowly open up, discarding your bra while you did. You weren't sure what exactly you expected him to look like, but you felt a soft smile creep onto your face. He was him. There was no secret six pack, he didn't look thinner or bigger than he did normally. It almost felt like you knew this is what he was going to look like, and you liked that. He still felt like himself and that was who you loved.
Once he'd set his shirt off to the side, he looked back at you. He pursed his lips, thinking for a moment. He leaned down, speaking softly.
"Could you raise your hips for me? It will be easier for me to help you undress if you do."
You did, biting the inside of your lip just a little bit. His hands were gentle, unbuttoning your pants and sliding them down to the point where you could just kick them off. He seemed to contemplate going and grabbing them to put with the rest of the clothing, but decided to redirect his attention to you. You, and how absolutely stunning you were sitting before him, mostly naked. He swallowed hard.
"How... exactly would you like me to, ah, assist with your stress problems?"
He knew he had a few ideas on what he'd like to do for you and what he'd like to do to you, but now was about you and what you wanted. You thought for a moment.
"Well, doctor-"
"Harvey."
He corrected you, much to your surprise. He blushed as he explained himself.
"Doctor is what my patients call me. People that only know me professionally, not like this. If we continue.. I'd prefer you use my name."
Your heart melted a little bit.
"Of course."
You continued, correcting yourself this time, using a softer tone as opposed to the teasing one you had intended on using.
"Well, Harvey, I think what would help me destress the most would be seeing the rest of you and deciding from there."
If you didn't know any better, you would have thought you saw his glasses fog up, just a little bit. He unbuckled his belt, looking down as he did. It seemed to be how he avoided looking at you. He set his belt aside, soon followed by his pants. You looked him over with almost a hungry sort of expression. You couldn't find the words to describe how you wanted this soft spoken, nervous man to carnally destroy you.
He sat beside you now. You put a hand on his thigh, leaning closer to him. He looked at you, a softness in his eyes that you couldn't quite place. Regardless, you kissed him. He didn't hesitate in kissing you back, wrapping an arm back around you, placing a firm hand on your hip, pulling you closer.
He deepened the kiss this time, getting more excited than nervous now. You liked that. You wanted him to take more initiative with this. You let him lead, almost curious how far this bold streak would take him. He broke the kiss, mostly to catch his breath. You spoke, out of breath.
"I want you on top of me, Harvey."
It wouldn't relieve much stress if you had to do all the work. His face flushed red, and he took a moment to find his voice, nodding first.
"I can do that. Would you like to lay down then?"
You gave him one more peck on the lips before moving to lay back comfortably in your bed. You sprawled yourself out in the most "casual-sexy" way you could manage without putting too much effort in, mostly to tease him. He moved to hold himself up over you, looking down at you.
"If this is the way you'd like to proceed, I should ask if you have the proper... protection."
Right. You almost forgot about that. You couldn't actually think of a reason you would have bought condoms recently, considering your dry spell. It's not like you'd been expecting this tonight. You thought for a moment.
"Does the clinic have plan B?"
He went a bit wide eyed at the implications of that.
"W-we do, but are you sure you want to depend on that?"
You half shrugged.
"I'm alright with it if you are."
He weighed his options for a moment. On one hand, it was risky for multiple reasons, he knew that, but on the other hand, you looked so incredibly enticing beneath him and here you were, essentially asking him to fill you with himself. You were getting inside his head and fogging his better judgement. He nodded.
"Only if you promise to come to me if anything happens afterwards."
Whether that be side effects of the medication or otherwise, he wanted you healthy and taken care of.
You smiled, pulling him down to kiss you. He was so sweet. It's why you think you were so okay with all of this. It was Harvey. He'd never hurt you, he'd always treat you so preciously. While still supporting himself with one hand, his other moved to your waist, moving up and down aimlessly. You let your hands run down his chest, feeling him up a little. A little more curiously, you let one hand wander down further towards his boxers. You smiled slightly against his lips as his breath hitched. You were glad to know you got him excited like this.
He broke the kiss, looking down at you with lidded eyes, a needy expression. It definitely did something for you. His gaze trailed down, as far as it could from his current position.
"May I?"
He asked, a slight roughness to his voice you'd never heard before. It shot through your body and straight between your legs. You nodded, not even completely sure what he was asking to do to you. Then again, you'd let him do just about anything to you as long as he kept looking at you like that.
His hand moved down, fingertips slipping into the front of your panties. You bit your lip, anticipating his touch. He started slowly, brushing against your clit with his middle finger, rubbing at an almost teasing pace. Slow circles one direction, then the other, he'd pause, just for a moment, before pressing a little harder than before and rubbing up and down, a little faster. You started to squirm beneath him, which seemed to be what he wanted as he smiled, ever so slightly.
"I suppose I should ask."
He started, not relenting on his touches.
"If I were to get you to orgasm like this, clitorally that is, it would be a fairly satisfying, but short lived experience. If I were to bring you to a vaginal orgasm, it would be longer lasting, and more intense. However, if you were to finish this way first, it would ideally let your body relax, as well as produce enough slickness to make a vaginal orgasm much easier to achieve."
You gave him a pleading expression, wanting him to get to the point. He seemed to understand.
"All of that to say, Y/n, would you like to experience both tonight, or would you prefer we get to the good part now?"
With the fact that he had continued gently torturing your clit through all of that, you truthfully gathered very little of what he said. What you did gather, was he wanted to get you off, and then fuck you into getting off again, which you weren't necessarily against at the moment. You whined softly as you responded.
"Do whatever you want to me as long as you please stop teasing."
He smiled some at that, though blushing.
"Anything you say, dear."
He said softly, beginning to move a little faster with his hand, though not so fast as to be uncomfortable. You were going to have to ask him where he learned how to do this, because fuck was he good at it. He leaned down, kissing your lips. Perfectly timed, as you arched your back, pressing yourself into his hand, moaning into his lips as he worked you through it, slowing until you relaxed beneath him. He pulled away, letting you catch your breath. He moved back, working on getting your now wet panties off and put to the side. He admired you laying there, flushed red, panting, glistening. A beautiful sight, all for him.
As you came down off your high, you looked over at him. He was hesitating slightly, pursing his lips, sort of messed with the edge of his boxers.
"Something wrong?"
You asked, catching his attention.
"No, nothing is wrong. Apologies, I was just a little distracted."
You weren't completely sure you believed that. You didn't have much time to look into it more though, because you were promptly distracted by him pulling his boxers off. You felt a slight chill wash over your body, mostly in anticipation. It'd been a minute since you'd had anyone, or anything really, inside of you like this. He wasn't an intimidating size by any means though he might have been slightly girthier than you would have said you were used to. You could imagine how good he'd feel filling you up, how nicely he'd stretch you. Thankfully, you didn't have to just imagine for long.
He set his boxers aside, adjusting his glasses slightly. He moved his hand back between your legs, pushing a finger in carefully. You bit your lips as he rocked it inside of you for a moment before going and adding a second. He almost looked lost in thought, staring down at his hand between your legs, watching his fingers disappear inside of you with such ease. Soon, he added a third finger and you started to get impatient. You didn't want to wait any longer. With the hand not prepping you, he gently rubbed your thigh.
It was tempting for him to continue like this. He wanted to see you there, in pure bliss, as much as he could tonight. He didn't know if he'd get you like this again. Tonight wasn't about his desires though, it was about you and getting you to relax. He pulled his fingers out, adjusting so he could spread your legs a little more and place himself in between them. You could feel him pressed against you.
"Are you ready?"
He asked in a gentle tone. You nodded quickly, too eager for him to fill you up. He took a deep breath, adjusting, and slowly starting to press into you. You let your head fall back, eyes closing. You let yourself get lost in the feeling, focusing on how he felt as he started to push inside of you. At the same time, you felt his hand grab yours, making an attempt to lace your fingers with his. You held onto him. He was so sweet, even like this. He stopped. You looked up at him now, seeing that his own eyes were closed. He was taking a moment to relish in the feeling of you around him. Warm, soft, and so incredibly good. His chest rose and fell like he had just finished a marathon. It was a sight to behold. When his eyes opened, he looked down at you, gently squeezing your hand.
"Still alright?"
He asked, out of breath already. You nodded. He nodded in return. He leaned down slightly, bringing your hand up to him so he could kiss your knuckles. He places a few, soft kisses there. It almost distracted you from the way his hips began to slowly rock. He let your hand back down, adjusting to pull your hips more so into his lap. He was trying to get a very particular angle, guiding one of you legs up over his shoulder.
"There we go."
He said in a near whisper, giving a more precise thrust now, causing you to gasp, gripping the blanket beneath you. He had to have done this before. Recently. This couldn't be the same socially nervous doctor you knew. He was still his sweet self, but he knew too well how to work your body, maybe more than even you did. Either way, he must've liked the reaction you gave because he did it again, finding his pace gradually. You moaned beneath him, which only encouraged him on. When you looked at his face, it was an expression of focus mixed with need, desperation.
His pace gradually increased until you felt you were going to lose yourself. Just as it started to get to being too much, he'd slow, causing you to whine beneath him. This happened at least 3 times. You couldn't tell if he was doing it on purpose or not. By that third time, you looked up at him.
"Harvey, please-"
He nodded, seeming to understand your plea as he kept his faster speed. You felt your orgasm start to bubble up inside of you before finally, finally, bursting through your body in a way you couldn't remember feeling. Your body tensed, twitching, your hips trying to fuck themselves down onto him more than just what he was doing as he worked you through it. Right as you began to feel your senses start to calm down, you felt him bottom out, holding there, groaning quietly. You could feel the warm feeling inside of you as he came. He was quite the sight like that. Blushy, sweaty, and completely caught up in pleasure. He lowered your leg, readjusting before carefully pulling out.
He took a second to breathe. Then he looked at your face.
"Stay here. Do you have tissues somewhere? Or, um, maybe a washcloth?"
You gestured to the door that led to the bathroom. He stood up, going that direction to find something to clean you both up with. He took that time to think about what just happened. Not only did he get to be intimate with the woman he was in love with, but he came inside of you. Which, granted, was something he'd have to deal with later. Even so, he felt like he was lighter than air. He came back with a wash cloth, slightly damp with warm water. He cleaned you up, as well as himself.
"Would you like any assistance getting into pajamas?"
He asked. You looked up at him, tired and honestly a little clingy at the moment.
"Harvey, just come here and lay down."
He seemed a little surprised, though did as you asked. He pulled the blanket back so you could at least be beneath it. You got comfortable and moved to be close to him, snuggling against him. He slowly wrapped his arms around you, like you were fragile or maybe as if you'd disappear like some dream if he held you too tight. You felt his chin rest on the top of your head. You closed your eyes, taking a moment to just think.
You were laying here, naked, wrapped in Harvey's arms, listening to the sound of his breathing. You felt calm. Tomorrow, you'd probably be a little embarrassed. Tomorrow, you'd have to talk about it, figure out what this meant for your relationship. You hoped this wasn't just a one time thing. You'd like to do more with him. You'd like to be in an actual relationship. You felt his hand move, gently rubbing your back. You decided to focus on that for now. For now, you were cozy and comfortably pressed up against Harvey's chest, and that's all that mattered.
You felt him press a soft kiss to the top of your head.
Whatever happened tomorrow, you were sure it would be okay.

hiiii could I request smth w John Bender where he's kinda infamous in the school. Reader and him are maybe assigned on a sculpting project together or something like that, and because of his reputation he expects her to hate him, but she's nothing but nice to him and feels for him because she sees the signs of abuse. One day he seems in an even worse mood than normal and is pretty bruised up (though trying to hide it) and after school when they walk out together she privately broaches the subject, causing him to involuntary have a breakdown/panic attack, which she comforts him through
With some romantic fluff at the end?? Idk ahhhh sorry this is so specific I feel awkward typing this all out 😭 no worries if you can't and have an amazing day/night!
A/N: Wait omg I actually love this???.?? I'll TOTALLY do this!!!!!! Idk how well it'll be cuz I haven't watched Breakfast Club since mid August... but I'll do my best. (Also ty so much for being specific! Helps me out A LOT more!)
Art Class ~ John Bender x !Artist! Reader
Pronouns for Reader: She/Her
Relationship type: Platonic to romantic
Genreal Idea: (Y/N) and John are working on an art project together, and things seem to be going smoothly. A friendship even seems to be blooming. However, one day something seems... off. And (Y/N) seems determined to figure it out.
Content Warnings: John might be out of character, accurate PTSD representation from someone with PTSD, abuse mentioned (but not seen in action), swearing. It's a fic that takes place in the 80s. What do you expect???
Tumblr media
(No particular POV)
☆Day 1: Assignment☆
John wasn't exactly the best at art. Shop? He pretty much had that class DOWN. Art? Not so much. So he decided to bite the bullet and just get the class over with. It was only a half-year class anyway. And he needed it to graduate. And in his mind, if he could graduate... he could get the FUCK out of that house. It was a win for him.
He took his spot in the back of the classroom, sunglasses on his face, and leaned back slightly in his chair. He found himself zoning out, wrapping himself around his own head. The thing that pulls him out of his thoughts is the sound of someone clearing their throat. He lifts his sunglasses up slightly on one side, just enough to see who it was. It was a girl with (H/C) hair and (E/C) eyes. Someone he INSTANTLY recognized as (Y/N) (L/N)
He didn't know the girl personally. He just knew OF her, if that makes any sense. He had another class with her, but he couldn't tell you what class it was. His school schedule mostly just blurred together if he was being honest. But every time he'd stolen a quick glance at her or whenever she was just simply in his line of vision, she always had her nose in either a book or a sketchbook. No in between. Occasionally, she was seen doing homework, but the rest of the time, it was drawing or reading.
"Can I help you?" He asks, a little snappier than he'd intended. Before he had a chance to mutter a quick apology and try again, she speaks.
"We were assigned to do the sculpting project together?" She says, unfazed by the snappy tone. It was the first time she'd ever spoken. Or... at least the first time John had ever heard her speak. Not nessicarily what he expected, but- God that sounds so fucking weird.
"Oh," He says, feeling kinda stupid. She just sits down, setting her bag down beside her, fishing around for what he assumed was her sketchbook. He decides to speak again, hopefully making some form of small talk to make up for the snappiness of before. "(Y/N), right?" He found himself bewildered at his own behavior. He normally never found himself feeling bad about his attitude or behavior. And here he was, feeling like a douche for slightly snapping at her.
"Yes," She says. "You perfer John or Bender?" She asks, grabbing a pencil and sliding it over to him, John stopped it with his forefinger. "I hear people call you both."
"I don't care." He says simply, watching her grab her sketchbook.
"Alright, John, it is." She says. "So, were you paying attention to the teacher, or do you have any idea what we're doing for the next..." She thinks for a moment, tapping her pencil eraser to the paper. "Week or so?" John's silence speaks more than if he'd simply said that he didn't. "We're doing a sculpting project." She says.
"Ah, I see." He says, twirling the pencil in his fingers.
"So I was thinking we could possibly get a rough idea before we actually dive in, yeah?" She says, flipping through her sketchbook. John gets some glimpses of her art, mesmerized by her work. She flips to the next blank page, writing at the top "PROJECT IDEAS".
The two plan, and by the two, (Y/N) mostly talked, and John just kinda nodded and went along with it.
At the end of class, (Y/N) gave John her phone number so they could stay in contact about the project. And the two went their separate ways for the day.
☆Day 3: Even More Sketching, Some Potential Friendship Forming☆
"How the hell do you understand this?" John asks, cracking his knuckles. "I barely understand 90% of this class." The girl in front of him simply chuckles.
"I've done this for a LONG while, John." She says. Most people just called him Bender, so hearing her call him John made him feel... nice? He didn't know, feelings are weird, and that wasn't a rabbit hole he really wanted to go down today.
"I've noticed." John says as the two work. "I hardly ever see you without that little sketchbook of yours." The two continue to work before John breaks the silence between the two.
"Ya know... I don't actually hate this." He says quietly, mostly to himself. (Y/N) hums in response.
"You say sumthin?" She asks, looking up at him. John feels heat rise to his face as he clears his throat, making up something on the spot.
"I-I said that I'm surprised you don't hate me." He says smoothly, covering up his little embarrassing moment.
"Why would I do that?" She asks, her eyes going back down to the large(ish) lump of clay infront of her as she rolls up her sleeves. The two converse back and forth while they do their project.
"Hey, so I was thinking." (Y/N) says before class ends. "Since we are a tad behind, we could possibly stay after school one of these days to get some extra work in."
"That works for me." John says, hand in his pocket. "When were you thinking?"
"Would you be able to do Thursday?" She asks. John thinks for a moment.
"Yeah, I can do that." John says.
"Sweet." She says as the bell rings. She puts the stuff they were using away and grabs her bag. "See ya."
John, left slightly speechless and red faced, blinks a few times before mumbling a "Yeah, see ya."
☆~☆
John was practically counting down the hours until he'd be able to work with (Y/N) after school. The fact that he was counting the hours down both disgusted and fascinated him. It was an odd combo that he really wasn't familiar with, nor had a desire to be familiar with.
(Y/N) had been nothing but the kindest soul to him. Did it make sense to him? No. Was he gonna ruin it by saying something? ... Also no.
☆Day 6: After School Work and a Walk Home☆
(Y/N) instantly knew something was up the second she set her stuff down. The air felt thicker around John, who was clearly pissed. The two didn't really talk, as (Y/N) detected he wasn't really in that mood. However, this didn't stop her from sliding a little slip of paper towards him.
John unfurled it: "You good? You seem a lot more angry than norma." John bit a small corner of his mouth until he could taste his own blood before responding verbally.
"It's not any of your business." He responds. The girl simply sighs softly, the two going back to the project. A few bruises poke out from under John's jacket sleeve, and (Y/N)'s heart instantly aches. She knew EXACTLY what was going on.
At the end of class, (Y/N) puts stuff away before asking John: "You still down to stay after?" She asks, her voice a bit softer than normal. John simply mumbles a "Yeah, whatever" and is out of the door.
☆~☆
(Y/N) sat on a desk as she ate a granola bar, waiting for John. Sure enough, there he was. He tossed his stuff at his normal desk, not really caring if anything was damaged.
"Ya know, we can reschedule if you're not doing the best." She says, doing her best not to sound rude or condescending.
"I'm fine, (Y/N)!" John says, slightly snappier than normal. "God, will you get off my back, please?" (Y/N), taken slightly aback, simply nods her head and the two get to work.
☆~☆
The two walk out of the school in silence. John feels like an absolute dick. He shouldn't have snapped at (Y/N). He's mad at his dad, not her. He can't bring himself to apologize though.
For once, it's (Y/N) who breaks the dense silence. "John, you don't have-"
"For fucks sake, I'm FINE, woman!" He snaps, turning to her. "God take the fucking hint?! Try that!" (Y/N) blinks a few times. She takes a lot, but that wasn't something she was gonna take. Regardless of what he was currently going through.
"Listen, John. I get you're in a bad mood. And you don't have to tell me why." She says. "But it's obvious you're not-"
"I'M FINE, (Y/N)!" He says, his voice shaking with unnessicary rage. "I'm fine! Fucking PERFECT even!" His hands shake with the rage. "So PLEASE! For FUCKING FUCKS SAKE! Get OFF of my ass about this 'You're not fine' shit. I'm PERFECTLY FINE!"
"Oh, clearly." (Y/N) says, hands on her hips. "Because someone who's fine acts like this."
"Oh my fucking god." John groans, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Are you ACTUALLY braindead? Did you NOT hear me?"
"John," The girl says, trying to be as calm as she can. "I can literally SEE the brusies-"
"Oh my god, you fucking win! You fucking win." He says, practically whirling his jacket to the earth, revealing a shit ton of bruises and marks both old and new. "There, my old man whipped me to shit last night cuz I forgot to do something exactly to his liking. SATISFIED?!?" The rage in John's voice scares both (Y/N) and himself... but mostly himself.
The look that (Y/N) has on her face brings him damn near to tears. It's a look not of disgust or fake sympathy. But of actual concern, maybe even actual care. He's trying to look everywhere, BUT her face.
"John..." She whispers softly, her fingers moving to his arm, but instantly drawing back. John sighs, extending his arm out to her. Her soft fingers trace each mark softly, almost a feather light touch. "You don't deserve this."
"Well clearly, I did." He mumbles, turning his head to the side. (Y/N) drags her finger down his arm softly to his hand, where she squeezes gently.
"No, you don't." She says, looking him in the eyes. "John, I may not have known you for a super long time. But I know for a FACT that you're a good person under the tough guy exterior." John stays quiet, his eyes not leaving the girl in front of him. "You DON'T deserve this." She gestures to every mark that she could see and the ones she probably couldn't see. "And I'll be DAMNED if I listen to you act like you don't deserve the dirt under my shoes." Her other hand moves to his shoulder, squeezing it comfortingly. "Last time I checked, no human being deserves this. And if you need ANYBODY, SOMEWHERE to get away for a bit, my door's WIDE open, just call me, talk to me, hell even send me a letter. I don't care. But I'm here-"
"(Y/N)..." He says softly, his fingers wrapping around the hand (Y/N) had hers in. "Thank you. I appreciate it."
"Of course, John." She says softly, going up on her tiptoes to lightly brush her lips to his cheek. "Contrary to belief, I do have a-"
"You missed." He says.
"I-I'm sorry?" She asks. John simply chuckles before pressing his lips against her own.
A/N: There we are! Hopefully, I did the idea justice. I loved it sm. I'm not nessicarily good at romantic fluff (I don't tend to experience romantic fluff often if ever XD) so hopefully I did it alright. I feel like I put a bit too much of myself into John during his little meltdown, as that's how I was during my first PTSD episode. I APOLOGISE FOR HOW LONG THIS TOOK FOR ME TO GET OUT THO 😭😭😭😭

A Bit About Me And This Blog
Tumblr media
Requests + Asks Are Open! :) I would like to reiterate that I, at this moment in time, am not doing commissions. Requests Info! When taking requests you may use my ask box or message me with your request for an artwork you'd like to see appear on my page. The request can be as simple or complex as you want! Just be warned that my art abilities have some limitations and I may not always be able to nail what you were picturing. (This is why I don't do commissions) When I post the artwork you will be credited for the request unless you specify otherwise. I however have the right to refuse a request due to the content or whatever I may see as rude or offensive. I'm not opposed to suggestive requests for artwork but I will not be drawing straight up nsfw content. This Blog's Posts May Contain: Cussing, Suggestive (NOT NSFW) Images, Corny Jokes, Weapons, Shitposts, Fuck Ton Of Reblogs, and more <3 Most things potentially triggering in my artwork will have a warning (Be warned I'm adding the warnings a little later on in this blog so my first few artworks may not have the warning on it) Okay so the rest of this is really long but here are the topics underTags What This Whole Blog Is My Eddsworld Au (Memories Au) My Original Story! (Where Did the Stars Go?) Ask Box RequestsRules + Extra Blog Info About Me Fandoms Socials
Tags If ya wanna filter some things out here are things I use the tags for! #my art - My art of course (Sketches, finished drawings, doodles, ect.) #eddsworld - My eddsworld art and miscellaneous posts that are just simply about eddsworld #au - Planning for my Memories Eddsworld Au.

I'm still creating the story so um- yup #asks - Any asks you guys send me! Pretty self-explanitory- What This Whole Blog Is So this blog is just some place I'll be posting my art! But also since it's my main blog it'll be a lot of nonsense and reblogs too- If ya think some of the things I may post here are cringe- that's too bad because that's why I have this platform! I'm here to simply be myself, nothing more nothing less.
The Memories Au Here is the blog that the comic is on: @memories-au-eddsworld To be clear, the stuff on this blog isn't the story itself. It's me working things out to prepare for the story. So concept art and character design ideas plus some silly short comics. I'm still forming and working on the story First / Last Where Did the Stars Go?

Either way I'll credit you (Or not if you so choose) for the request. I'll admit, I do prefer simple requests like character(s) just doing silly things (or just simply existing), and not big scenes, for that is what I struggle with. Come message or send me an ask if anything confuses you about this, or if you have more questions. Rules + Blog Info -This place is a safe space for people of any gender and any sexuality -DNI: Therian and furry haters, maps, homophobes + transphobes -I want to specify I won't be participating in anything political. If I post something spreading some sort of message to help out someone in any specific political trouble and such, it is merely to help out that person. -You can ask me almost anything (Ex: What's with my gender? I know it can be a little contradicting but if ya wanna know just ask) -Don't ask for commissions. Right now that's not something I'm willing to do. I'm too focused on school.

-----------------------------------------------
Adam is actually adjusting rather well in Hell which, honestly, baffled Charlie and the others. Lucifer not so much because he's pretty sure Adam was not meant for Heaven but they didn't wanna embarrass themselves by having the first human soul fall in Hell.
And they say Lucifer's the prideful one.
Sure, the dickhead bitches and complains but he deduced the guy would do it regardless of where he was. He always thought that Adam was a lazy ass son of a bitch who's all dick and no brains; like one of those jock characters from Charlie's DVD collection.
Maybe that's why he's adjusting so well. His attitude is very on brand for Hell.
Still doesn't explain this, though.
Lucifer: How are you so good at this? I thought you said you hated it.
Adam: I said I hated it not that I'm shit at it. Besides, who the fuck loves doing paperwork?
Today, Lucifer is at the palace catching up on centuries worth of documents that he missed during this 'me-time'. The Sins initially offered to take over so that he could rest but he insists on doing it himself. He feels bad about relying on the Sins too much every time there's a problem. He's supposed to the older brother! The-uh- King of Hell! And what King can't even do simple paperwork?
Apparently he is, because he and Adam have been at this for days now and the pile just never seem to lessen. He's beginning to think someone has cursed him to be stuck here forever.
Speaking of Adam, Lucifer won't admit it to his face but the other has been a very big help; like they're actually making progress and none of the work is half-assed too.
He can't help but look on in wonder at how the first man is just zooming through the endless papers.
Adam: Oi. I know I'm a fine piece of art but can you stop lookin' at me like that? Take a picture, it'll last longer.
Lucifer: I just can't get my head around all this.
Adam: What's not to get, bruh? You know I'm good at everything; even the boring shit. I handle Sera's when she's too busy doing fuck knows too, you know!
Lucifer: Excuse- what?! You handled Sera's documents?? And she didn't stop you the first time???
Adam: Okay- why the fuck are you acting like that's such a shock?
Lucifer: Helloooooo it's freakin' Sera? It's you? I just-
Lucifer makes an exaggerated gesture of scratching his head in mock confusion.
Lucifer: -is she out of her mind? Did she suffer some form of brain damage?
Adam: Okay, look. You are making this into a way bigger deal than it needs to be, I don't pry into your stupid skills and insecurities.
Lucifer: Bitch, you literally do that all the time!
It was nice, in a weird way, how they're bantering. It almost reminds Lucifer of the first days he came to Eden; how Lilith and Adam pretended for a bit to get along for him.
As an angel, he was taught to see the good in everything. After all, everything was made by Father's hand so why would they be anything less than good and perfect?
They say that God is omnipotent and all-knowing, so he often wonders if his Father intentionally made the humans that way. Still does not explain why he would cast him out when the mistake was in his Father's hands.
Because.
Adam was fun until he said something about Lilith. Adam was fine until he acts like a 'man'. Adam was a friend until he wasn't.
Eden was one hell of a reality check. Pun intended.
Man, was pre-humanity Heaven always been cult-like?
Adam: Bro, how bout you shut up and let me do the work you've forced upon me. And why are you here anyway? I thought you live at that hotel now.
Lucifer: Oh? Would you rather do the work there? I have to warn you; Nifty goes in and out of rooms as she pleases to clean so-
Adam: Ah!!!! Don't say that name!
Lucifer: What? Afraid she's gonna come out of the mirror like some sort of Bloody Mary?
Adam bearing his teeth at him like a wild animal is a funny sight to see but then a got a very genius idea, a literal lightbulb turned on above his head.
Lucifer: Nifty...
Sensing what Lucifer is doing, Adam scrambles up and charges at him. Lucifer dodged him with ease and flies high above the room away from prying hands.
Lucifer: Niftyyyyy~
Adam: Lucifer, stop that shit!
Lucifer: Niffffffffffffffty-
Nifty: Hey guys!
The scream the two let out at the sudden voice were embarrassingly high enough to be mistaken for a teenage girl's.
Adam: WHAT THE FUCK?!
Lucifer: Jesus Christ!
Despite the panic in front of her, the little cyclops just smiled on.
Lucifer: Nifty, what in the world are you doing here?
Adam: Get that thing away from me!
Lucifer: Oh don't be such a baby, it's just Nifty.
Adam: You screamed too, asshole!
He gave Adam a wave to say 'whatever' and turns back to Nifty who has her eyes locked on the panicking demon behind him.
Maybe he should let her have at it at him just a little.
Nifty: I'd love to start a goat collection hehe~
Okay, nevermind. With Adam's surprising skills at organization, he can't afford to die yet until he finishes Lucifer's paperwork.
Lucifer: Uh Nifty, my question?
Nifty: Yes, roach queen?
Lucifer: Roach what? You know what, don't answer that. I asked why are you here.
Nifty: Oh! Miss Charlie is calling for you. Seems pretty urgent.
Lucifer: Did something happen at the hotel?
Nifty: Not really!
Lucifer: So?? What is it???
Nifty: Have you been outside at all, Mr. King?
Lucifer: Well no. We've been holled up all day doing this-
He vaguely gestures to the mess of his office.
Lucifer: And I put up a sound barrier so we wouldn't get distracted. I've also turned off my phone sooooooooOHHHH my god!
What the shit?? 666 missed calls??? Most of them are from Charlie.
Nifty: Said that no one could reach you. The others are trying to calm the panic cause most of the icky demons went straight into the hotel. I wanted to stab them but Miss Charlie told me to just come here and get you!
Probably to prevent bloodshed. His daughter is so smart but-
Lucifer: What actually is happening, Nifty?
Nifty: Oh! The sky is falling!
-----------------------------------------------
Sorry if it's a bit short but I just wanted to write AdamsApple banter and a bit of introspective.
Also, is that a chicken little reference???
Kudos to you if you saw that Spring Broken reference (arguably my fave Helluva Boss episode all because of the creative insults)

☼▼☯☆ for auretta maeve and another bestie xx
rolled Iggy for the third bestie so i'm ready to cry probs. tyyyy xoxo // headcanon meme
☼ appearance headcanon 
AURETTA — one of the clothing mods has the cutest outfits with slight variations and one is just that v1 has the shoulders covered and v2 doesn't, so as a little joke on her being an uptight priss i gave her the shoulders-covered one for act 1 and then swapped to shoulders revealed for act 2 as if it's a grand display of her growing trust in the companions and lessening of her aloofness. 
MAEVE — she had a grand time throwing a lot of Carden’s money into getting herself a new wardrobe once she was free of him.  swapping from stays to corsets, opting for more form-fitting styles, letting more of her skin show and adding more pretty designs. she’d spent the last few years wearing more loose-fitting and slightly dull dresses that kept her covered, wanting to draw less attention from Carden and whatever dreadful people he spent time around. she was over the moon getting to reclaim that expression of sexuality and freedom and just feeling pretty.
IGNOTA — she's got a lot of hair and it's lowkey messy but!! it does have a lot of cute small braids throughout because she taught herself how to braid her hair during those endless hours spent by her lonesome. i think most of the time she can make a small comfort ritual out of it that brings her some peace and settles any rising emotions, but there are a few occasions where it just made things worse because it had her spiraling about her isolation. 
▼ childhood headcanon 
AURETTA — cast her first cantrip when she was maybe 6-7 years old. a small gust that shoved away another kid who had been interrupting her quiet reading time while waiting for mama Jocelyn to finish gathering groceries in the market. Auretta stay not fucking around about her personal space since she was a little girl lmao
MAEVE — she loved loved loved helping people harvest their crops. mostly because she was given heaps of praise for running baskets of goods back and forth and that's what she fucking lives for. thrives off of. fuels her for weeks to come. but also she was usually allowed to keep some apples or other fruit and flowers when helping others and it always had her glowing, a big smile on her face as she tucked the flowers into her hair and then snacked on the food later while reading by the river. 
IGNOTA — she has an incredibly vague memory of being carried on somebody's shoulders as they walked through the woods, bouncing with each step to make her squeal and giggle. she wants to believe that it was one of her parents because she can just barely recognize the concept of feeling safe and happy in those fleeting moments, but she can't remember well enough to be certain. maybe if she tells herself it was her father enough times then it'll unlock the full memory and confirm (or deny) it for her, who knows. 
☯ likes/dislikes headcanon 
AURETTA — tragically i know she’d be a picky eater and turn her nose up around the campfire some nights. she’s been living it up in elf city central for three decades, being raised and provided for by one of the city’s elites, i know her meals were insane in quality and taste. to go from fantasy 5-star meals to being served a mish-mash stew made of random onhand ingredients with some scavenged wine on the side?? she’s in hell. actual hell. basically in the abyss.
MAEVE — sour desserts's #1 hater. sour cherry or lemon recipes?? get them OUT of her house. in fact, ban them from the entire city for her, actually. give her full on sweet and she's in heaven, filling her plate up with a second helping, but sour, bro?? absolutely not. that's a crime, a sin, an offense.
IGNOTA — deciding in the moment that Iggy’s a big art lover. i just think she'd enjoy herself a good landscape painting, getting lost in the emotion that an artist can instill in how they portray a location. oh and those portraits where you can tell the painter is head over heels in love with their subject just from what they've put to canvas?? yeah, those fuck her up. catch her crying because it's so touching being able to experience the affection through them, knowing she's never had it herself. 
☆ happy headcanon 
AURETTA — i'm sure there were at least a handful of chats about Auretta's snippy attitude and tendency to keep everybody at a distance for a good deal of act 1, but the tiefling party comes around and everyone's handed some free confirmation that she's still got a beating heart in there because she's freely smiling, occasionally laughing, and even initiating some physical contact with a few folk (mostly her siblings, the wine having loosened her up enough to rattle free the affection, but still). it was the happiest she'd been since the abduction, and maybe even some time before that if i decide to toss in some misery for her before being yanked into the campaign plot. 
MAEVE — this is my official proposal for cute fun family bonding time with Maeve & Amadei dancing together and having a blast. no context to be found here bc i'm lazy, just the good vibes of them spinning around a Beauclair ball dance floor until Maeve's feet start to hurt.
IGNOTA — no results for your “happiness in ignota’s story” search, try again <3 (idk man. it's not technically happened yet in game but i'm sure she's gonna be happy as can be once she's actually left Tevinter. gonna spend a good hour straight crying over her freedom.)

I'm curious, what's your stance on generative AI? I know we in the fandom community often talk about it in the context of AI created fanart, but I'm talking more in the context of the uses generative AI has in the realm of general work productivity, like what Microsoft is trying to do with their new CoPilot program.
Well, the ethical issue is basically the same as it is for A.I.-generated images—but for some goddamn reason, people don't like to think of any kind of writing as a form of propietary "art" the same way they do about visual arts, so it's garnered FAR less attention.
But as far as their usability goes? As someone who writes documents for a living, I can see these programs being potentially beneficial for creating early rough drafts, but that's the extent of what it's good for now: They can make outlines. BUT! You could get the same outline from a template or from an online boilerplate, so is that even worth anything? Once you go beyond an outline, any text generated from these A.I.s always needs heavy revision, reorganization, and editing. I'd spend less time just writing it from scratch.
Currently, generative so-called "A.I." programs that are designed to assist with writing text are based upon predicting what they think the user is requesting or desiring. They set out to give you what they believe you want, and accuracy is NOT part of the equation. This might not be as big of an issue if you're trying to make a book report on a classic novel, because there are probably enough examples of reliable web coverage on the subject it could reasonably generate something that's at least usable. But outside of doing some of your homework for you, how useful is it?
It can certainly bullshit some generic blather to fill space in a paper, or it could spew corporate-ese for the purpose of drafting a mass company email... but can it announce something new to your staff or the press in an accurate way? Nope. Can it reliably create copy or a script for advertising/marketing? Not if you want your ad to actually be true, let alone unique. :P
If you're doing something fairly rote like taking existing legal documentation to create a new, similar legal document for a different usage? You're better off just having a template on-hand with editable sections to revise; that way, the A.I. won't attempt to "improve" the legal text in a way that fucks you over. And if you're asking the A.I. not to edit that text in the first place... well, then why are we using this A.I. when we already have templates?
If you're hoping to create some kind of instructions, maybe a "How-To" book or a manual for something? Just forget it. It doesn't matter how much documentation on the subject you feed into that A.I. Ultimately, it will preconcieve how the process COULD work or what the program/device/person MIGHT do, and then it starts going off on bizarre claims/tangents that are wholly imagined. The longer the document you want, the worse the amount of nonsensical bullshit gets.
But even if you're just trying to get it to reduce a massive document down to like, a single page that covers the basics? It has no real system for judging what "the basics" are. You can try to specify to the A-not-I what you need to include, feed it the original document... and still wind up with a combination of falsehoods and excluded requirements. This won't necessarily happen every single attempt or in every single paragraph, but it'll definitely happen enough times to make it more trouble than it's worth. Still... this kind of thing — i.e., revising a single existing source into a different format or length — is probably the area that's the most promising application for these programs in the near term. It should be possible to "teach" to the programs in question, and it handily skirts past most ethical questions about the sources behind its knowledge.
What I said about falsehoods and skewed info/inaccuracy is also why search engines that have incorporated A.I. have gotten LESS reliable. Generative A.I. isn't truly "Artificial Intelligence," because it can't make any kind of judgment. It doesn't have a clue how to deem something true or false, and it's really fucking hard to build that into a program. Because ultimately, what do you ask it to do? How do you explain that to the program in a logical fashion? You can't just say "only believe the sources I give you/tell you to trust," because it only generates based on tons of pre-existing examples that it's observed. It only exists at all because of those examples, which is always going to cause these issues.
....and that last point ALSO raises the same exact ethical questions already brought up by A.I.-generated imagery. What right do they have to use these sources? Where are they getting them, etc.? And now I'm back where I started.
Suffice it to say I'm not a fan. Although I do, of course, have skin in this game, so I acknowledge that I'm definitely biased.

hi everyone, i'm mezz!
so!! now that we're about a week into you all deciding that my aimless rambles about hypno things i like are worth a follow, i figure it's probably about time for a belated introduction, and also a pinned post!
i'm Mezzmer, and you can call me Mezz! i'm sure you've caught the general drift by now: i'm an extremely hypnokinky nineteen-year-old enby with a passion for long-winded infodumping about things that interest me, and this blog is my new and shiny place to do that about something that interests me a lot- the infinite art form of hypnosis!
we have to do all the things a pinned post does, so let's get that out of the way! all that below the cut :3
so! first things first, who don't we want around here? to put it concisely, please don't interact with me iiiif:
you're generally cringe (bigot, terf, nazi, et cetera. you know you're not wanted here, don't make me waste my time blocking you)
you're under the age of 18, for my safety as much as yours
you're a completely blank blog (it's nothing personal! i'm just gonna assume you're a bot if you've got absolutely nothing on your blog- as long as you've got something in your name, or a pfp, a description, whatever, you're cool with me! i don't care if you don't post, i was a lurker too, last week xP)
and that's it!! i'm pretty lenient with all this stuff- don't be Literally The Worst, and don't cross my boundaries, and we're chill :3
some personal stuff i think you should know: i'm canadian, i'm not a man but i prefer masculine pet names (good boy, pretty boy, etc), i'm autistic, and i will not tell you what's between my legs! i've got a decent amount of experience with hypnosis but i'm always learning and always exploring, and i'm almost always on the subby side. almost.
generally i appreciate hypnotism for the actual hypnosis involved- triggers and suggestions are good and fun, but expect to see a lotttt more from me about inductions, about the experience of trance, that kind of thing! i'm also a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of trance, and i don't often find myself needy for actual sex to spice it up, so don't come expecting a ton of that either
my dms and my askbox are always open to cool people!! if you don't want to literally kill me, i probably want to talk to you!! please come and say hello, i promise it'll be nothing but a good time for me <3
and with all that out of the way, all that's left is my special little tags! there aren't a lot right now, but i'll edit this to add more as i need them
taglist:
#not hypno - believe it or not, i think about other things sometimes! if you'd rather keep your mezz-merizing experience as pure as possible, or if you're seeking out my opinions on stuff that isn't, um, hypno, this is for you >:3
#mezz personals - sometimes i talk about myself on purpose! and sometimes the things that i post reveal interesting things about me! when i think that's happened, i'll tag it with this, and you can peruse it to get a better feel for the boything behind the pretty words
#the box with asks in it - posts where i answer asks sent to me!! :3 i always love getting asks and i do my best to answer all of them, so don't be shy! all asks are answered publicly unless you specifically request otherwise
#🖤🦋🖤 - unfortunately i have been through a significant amount of trauma, and sometimes i process that trauma through kink. this tends to get dark quickly! if that's something that's not for you, well, that's why this tag exists
#serious shit - exactly what it sounds like! if this tag is on a post i'm not fucking around. there is no character and there is no horny stuff. i mean to use this as little as possible, so! let's see how low we can keep that count
that's all! thank you for reading! i'll be back to rambling before you know it <3

Hello, just wanna start this off by saying that I love your art. I've decided to ask my favourite artists for art tips as I wanna get into it, but no matter what I do it never looks right. So, any tips?
WARNING YOU JUST OPENED THE FLOOD GATES GET READY FOR A LONG ASS POST
WOOOOO BOY, first off huge fucking compliment i honestly didn't think i was anyone's favorite artist (despite what my friends say) and i find it super cool of you to try and draw
Anddd nowww the cowards will run out as soon as you read more
okay so first things first, disclaimer! I AM NO PROFESSIONAL BY ANY STANDARDS, IM JUST SUPER INTERESTED IN ART, DO NOT TAKE MY WORDS AS GOSPEL AND YOU DO NOT NEED TO TAKE MY WORDS OF ADVICE (you didnt say i was but just to cover my ass)
I am still learning as an artist so this will just be advice that helped me, lets just hope i can remember what got me here, and this will be just me jotting down my thoughts as they come so maybe im not the best person to come to about this (i may repeat what other people say in terms of art so bare with me)
SO WITHOUT ANYMORE DISCLAIMER! YOU WANT ART TIPS FROM ME? WELL GET READY FOR SOME BULLSHIT FROM A PERSON WHO'S BEEN SO ARTSY FARTSY IN THEIR ENTIRE LIFE AND HAS NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, WELL COME INTO THE SHIT TRAIN!!
Now i dont know if you are an intermediate artist, beginner, need help in specific areas or whatever the hell else but! here's the three main points i always wanted to scream at artists who are just starting out!
Your art WILL look like shit in the beginning
References and inspiration are YOUR FRIEND
DONT be afraid to trace
(I know I know this feels like regurgitated and it probably is BUT HEY STICK WITH ME)
does your art looks fucking trash? THATS GOOD!! KEEP DRAWING!! My art looked fucking ugly when i started and some might say (me) it still does, but thats okay!! You learn more and more from just drawing without any tips, art is a pure skill that builds up, do not be discouraged!! The point of art isn't to be the greatest in the world, it's to be at peace with what you create so if your art looks good to you and you are in a happy place in your progress, you are basically successful in my eyes at least (this doesn't mean to quit learning obviously but it'll come in time, be patient, do not push yourself! that's how you stop loving art and we don't want that happening!)
Ever find yourself asking "man why the fuck does (include art shit here) not look accurate??" well here's a tip, USE REFERENCES! DO NOT BE LIKE ME WHERE YOU JUST WING IT OR ELSE YOU'LL BE CRYING OVER YOUR DRAWING TABLET LIKE I DID AT SOME POINT!! Pay attention to the shapes of the reference, break it down and draw over it if you need to, shapes are very important in art and you need to be able to draw whatever you want in the most basic forms (im no good example of this, i really need to practice more aughhh). As well as references, inspiration is KEY!!! Everything is inspired off each other, nothing is original, so steal from your favorite artists!! Look at their speedpaints, look at how they use colors, analyze how they draw anatomy in their style, see how they use shapes, etc etc, learn from who you consider are the "greats of their times"!! USE ALL THE INSPIRATION YOU HAVE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS!!LITERALLY COPY THEM IF YOU WANT EVEN IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DID THAT, YOU'LL LEARN WITH TIME!! just whatever you do, don't compare yourself so heavily against other artists, i know its hard, i do it myself even! If there is an artist who has a style you so so want, don't crumble if you can't draw in their style perfectly, you'll never win against someone in their art style. I suggest taking inspiration from multiple artists and mashing them together until it looks good in your eyes!!
That actually leads me to my next point! TRACING IS OKAY!! Now obviously I do not mean directly tracing over like some lines, showing it off/posting it and calling it completely original. I mean tracing over the references i mentioned before, or like what i said before, i believe you should actually trace from your favs! (don't call it original like i said before), tracing can help build memory on how to draw certain things like how i took a photo of my hands before, traced them, and then put it to the side to redraw it, making me understand futher how hands work! OR like how i traced a piece of art that i liked to understand how the artist drew their bodies, tracing is used by total professionals in the industry so do not be afraid!! You have total permission from me to trace my art and learn how to draw my wack ass bodies
and for a little extra bit, little bit of a hot take (I'm actually not sure how much of a hot take this is), i don't think you HAVE to learn the fundamentals to get into art. NOW BEFORE YOU RUN OFF SCREAMING AND SHITTING, IM NOT SAYING YOU DON'T NEED THE FUNDAMENTALS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!! I'm just saying that if you want to get into art as a complete hobbyist and just want to draw to yknow draw and be happy, you should just go for it! Again don't make art something you hate! I completely encourage learning the fundamentals but don't ever feel like you're failing just because you don't, get into it when you have the time! be patient with yourself, this goes for any hobby/skill but just sink some time into it, i promise you will get further in you hobby than if you push and rush yourself into complete burn out
OH AND HERES MY ULTIMATE TIP! THERE IS NO WRONG WAY TO DO ART!!
Uhhh i think that's everything? Im not exactly sure how comprehensible this is or how the spelling is since i am not beta reading this! But apologies if this wasn't what you were looking for! (if anybody even read this far) and i hope that if you asked your other favorite artists they answered with anything better than whatever this is! I wish you alot of luck in your art journey and thank you for giving me an excuse to talk about art! OH AND REMEMBER TO TAKE BREAKS

I saw you mentioned Queer As Folks recently. OMG how I missed Brian and Justin. When they went angst, they reeeeeaaaally served angst. I seriously don't have access to watch the entire series in my country, I can only watch snippets from youtube. I'm so sad 😭 Can you share with me what you like most about QaF and maybe if you have your favorite Ao3 fics about them. Thank you so much, Key ❤
Aaahhh, Anon!
You've unsurfaced some deep memories.
Okay, I just finished writing the thesis below. I'm back from the future. A lot of what you're about to read is pure emotion, so I apologize that it's not, uh. Well structured or especially rational. Queer as Folk was very formative for me, so my thoughts on it are very formless. \:D/
I watched Queer as Folk in high school, and it was a core experience. I vaguely remember writing Brian/Justin fic, but I think I mainly just read, and unfortunately, all of the fic I read was on LiveJournal, so I have no idea how to find it anymore. I'm really, really bad with names and titles, so I'd really only know them if I saw them again. :')
I have hot takes, though!
As far as fandom goes, the US version was phenomenal. So much fic. So much fic, and I loved it so much. The fanvids, the art, the meta, etc. It was such a great fandom.
BUT as a show, I preferred the UK version. I thought it was better crafted, the story and characters felt a lot stronger, and the dialogue was fantastic. It felt more inclusive in every way, and it had this…cozy warmth to it. Even at his worst, Stuart is nowhere near as much of a menace as Brian, and I think that's because he has Vince, and Brian has Michael.
(I didn't like Michael. At all. \:D/ The actor is lovely! I just regularly pined for the character to be pushed through a nineteenth floor window and then get stepped on by an elephant tourist visiting family at the Pittsburgh Zoo.)
The US version also screamed Written by White Cis Gay Men Who Held a Weird Grudge Against Lesbians and Didn't Believe Bisexuality Is Real. I was a "definitely straight except for that one time and that other time and that other other time I had suspiciously queer thoughts and also argued a shade too passionately about queer rights at the dinner table" teenager, and while I loved Brian and Justin as a ship, the UK version made me feel like I could find friends who'd feel like family one day. (And it came true, and they're queer, too.)
I think of the US version of Queer as Folk as fandom fodder. After every episode, I'd dive into LiveJournal, read fics, meta, look up fanvids, etc. I learned so much from Elder Queers who talked about safe sex and the importance of getting tested and all the things either referenced in the show or totally ignored that Elder Queers were like, "This was ignored but if you're ever in Justin's situation, here is what you do, please promise you'll do this."
The UK version is the one I rewatch when I want to revisit that warm, safe feeling.
And it'll always fuck my brain up that the US showrunners of Queer as Folk watched Stuart fuck a fifteen-year-old that was blatantly framed as "this is a bad thing, Stuart is doing a bad thing, everyone is aware that this is a bad thing, this is very bad, Stuart" and thought, "Okay, the bad thing is that he's fifteen, so let's age him up to seventeen and make him the love interest instead of the best friend who's the same age."
MIND. BLOWN.
I mean, it explains why Michael's all [evocative hand gestures]. His English counterpart actually ended up with his hot Irish best friend. And, like, Vince is obsessed with Dr. Who, so they gave Michael comic books? Like? Why not Star Trek? And he's obsessed with Brian and has the same soul-destroying crush that Vince has on Stuart, but there's a point to Vince's crush on Stuart the point is that they end up together and Nathan is a high school boy who is genuinely meant to be a blip on the radar in the background of their story.
It's been long enough that I don't hate Michael anymore, I'm just still fascinated by CowLip's bizarre story decisions.
Here's how I'll summarize my complicated relationship with the US version of Queer as Folk:
Season five was an insult to me personally, and I never watched the last episode. That stupid ending reversed all five seasons of Brian's character arc and landed him exactly where he was in the first episode, only multiple years older. And CowLip talked about it like it was brilliant and not a pathological misunderstanding of how storytelling is meant to operate to connect with audiences.
But.
I remember watching the Babylon bombing episode. Viscerally. I was staying at my sister's house, and I waited until everyone fell asleep. I snuck into their home office to watch the episode on their computer because I kept all queer media I watched secret from everyone in my very conservative family. I turned the volume down to one bar, kept the lights off, and held my shallow breath whenever the house made any kind of noise. Because Brian had never said "I love you" before, and this was it, because he thought Justin would be one of those corpses rolled out on a gurney from the club where they met, where their friends and family all gathered, the only place they felt safe being gay.
And many years later, when something similar happened far, far away at Pulse in Orlando, a memory surfaced of secretly watching an episode about love and desperation and grief. Of feeling caged inside a sexuality prescribed to me. And it was the first time I came out on social media.
Because it was a ridiculous show in some ways, and a terribly written one sometimes, but I think it also cut to the quick for many of us who just…didn't have anything else. We didn't have many options back then, and the fandom was massive, and it nudged me a little closer to understanding who I am and who I love.

Alright, so, bit of a vent here...
I keep feeling like nobody cares about the things I create.
Which
I cannot even begin to describe how wrong that is.
Even the briefest glimpse at the feedback and responses I've got to basically every major creative thing I've shared with the world has gotten basically nothing but positive feedback. From the long form Nuzlocke fics to the silly Dustox screencap runs to that one time I made a mod for a game I liked.
I don't even know what to say about that. Everyone who's found my writing or art tucked away somewhere has been kind to me in ways that have changed my life forever, finally taking that quiet "I want to tell stories" that I've held onto since I was a child and putting wind behind those sails.
So what do I do with that feeling that nobody cares?
I'm half inclined to dive into some monologue like "how do I square that circle", you know, make sense of the obvious contradiction bouncing around my brain, but no amount dancing about is going to distract from the monolithic shadows looming over me, the twin spectres of "the fuck is self esteem" and "imposter syndrome's a bitch".
And so, here we are. The sun rises, wind blows, birds sing, rivers flow, and the human mind is placing greater weight on an irrational fear than observable reality. It's all cycles, spinning away as the world turns.
And so, as always, tomorrow I'm going to end up back at the keyboard working on that new story idea. Maybe it'll only be a few words, maybe I'll just spend the whole time scheming without a word going down, but I'll be there. I'll be working on something I love.
My brain will keep telling me to give up, that nobody cares, and I'll keep on telling stories anyway.

Hiya lovelies !
Tumblr media
So this is actually an alt account, a place where I can go completely feral.. My main is @toastyliltoasts41 and I mostly write for a fandom called Foolish Crew (Socksfor1, Fatmemegod, Blazaplays, Tbhonest, Joocie and etc)..
But on this account, I plan to be posting fanfictions about Wilbur Soot, Quackity and whatever really comes to my mind..
Maybe even BBC Merlin, Who knows ? (Mainly since these three fandoms, considering Wilbur and Quackity as one 'mcyt' fandom, are my absolute life)
So, without further ado, lets establish some boundaries.. (Pls dont come after me for this being cringe lmao since I dont have this sorta thing even for my main account lol)
• NSFW accounts, Please dni
As Im still a minor and Im still not comfortable with anything that's not SFW.. Its also kinda creepy to interact with one so, no..
• No racism, homophobia or hate to anyone at all..
It's strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated in any shape or form.. That also includes requests btw
• No creepy or personal questions please
Like the NSFW one but mostly about my personal life.. I write on here to not only express myself but to calm myself down in a way.. And receiving questions about myself, that are clearly not anyones business, is not the way anyone'll have a peaceful time on here, my friend.. Im talking about questions like "What's your IRL name" or "Where do you come from".. It just creeps me out a bit so please refrain from that.. You're always welcome to simply ask about where the boundary-line is, though, I'd be happy to talk about it and anything that doesnt cross it..
Maybe there's more to be added but lets skip to the okay/good parts now..
• Requests
Please I fucking love requests and even the smallest of interactions make me do the Tubbo 'Yipee'..
• Talk to me !
If anything is bothering you at all, you can always (if you're comfortable) talk to me about it.. Whether it was just a bad day or you're in a bad situation in life, you're absolutely welcome with open arms to have a chat..
• FANAAAART
Please, I BEG of you, never be ashamed to show anyone your art.. Im a pretty shit artist myself and I love drawing silly things but just straight out fanart hypes me up to write more about those characters.. It just shows me that these cool fanarts are literally the ones Im writing about so its basically like pride (?)
• Heavy topics ?
Im absolutely fine with violence, gore and dark topics sneaking its way into my fanfics.. Even alcohol is fine to a limit ! (As long as its nothing serious and these above topics are not inflicted gruesome-ly or a bit too much by characters in my story as it'll give the actual characters themselves a bad reputation)
• Pronouns
Im a female myself but I'll mostly use they/them in my stories to make in gender neutral.. Heads up if you wanted to make an amab request, Im genuinely sorry but I wont write in anything other than she/her or they/them pronouns.. Im concerned that I'll end up offending someone since I dont really know much about the community.. So, unless you hint at it or request me to use she/her pronouns, I will only be writing as they/them
Maybe I'll add a bit more when I remember lmao-
Anyway, Here's a bit about who I am and what I'll write about:
My online name is Sophie, although Im thinking about changing it, so you can just adress me as Soph.. I go by she/her and, as I already established before lmao, Im a minor.. My life's burning down to the ashes of hell (lol ik Im dramatic, bear with me) most of the time so I wrote stories, and read other's, as a coping mechanism.. I will most likely not see your dm's/requests for a few hours, or even days, or Ill do the complete opposite and reply to them within minutes lmao.. I still have my own studies to complete so I dont think I'll write requests the very same day, Im not sure myself..
I take almost all requests other than smut..
Angst
Fluff
Romantic
Platonic
AU's
You name it man..
Aaaaaanyway, Here's who I'll write for:
~ C!Wilbur (Every bursona too, I am just infatuated with them)
~ C!Quackity (Yes, absolutely but as long as it doesnt cross any of his boundaries)
~ C!Karl Jacobs
~ C!Ranboo
~ C!Tubbo
[As mentioned above, as long as these are within their boundaries and consent]
and on a different fandom:
~ Merlin (MERLIN MY BELOVED)
~ Arthur Pendragon
~ Lancelot cuz yes (But Im not very motivated to write for him)
~ Maybe some platonic with Morgana (BECAUSE SHE'S NOT EVIL, SCREW YOU DIRECTOR) and Gwen
So this is mostly it for now, Ill update this whenever I remember lol.. Bye bye for now !

People like Me break Beautiful things
☾~☆~❀~☆~☽
A/N: Hello beautiful people ^^ I'm back with a new story !!! This something that I've been dying to write since I read @ladyanaconda fic, guys if you can go give her stories/art a like she deserves all the love and praise in the world !!! Anywhore this idea has been brewing in my in my head for quiet some time now ^^ basically this is an Octavia x OC story with Blitzo x Striker as well so if you don't ship Blitzo x Striker than kindly leave oh and if you love stolas also leave he's not gonna be portray in a good light at all. But anywhore be prepared for a story of love angst heartache betrayal and Striker being a bad ass ^^ now enough of my babbling on with the show ^^
Summary: Sometimes when I'm alone I Cry, Cause I am on my own. The tears I cry are bitter and warm. They flow with life but take no form I Cry because my heart is torn. I find it difficult to carry on. If I had an ear to confiding, I would cry among my treasured friend, but who do you know that stops that long, to help another carry on. The world moves fast and it would rather pass by. Then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad. And sometimes… I Cry and no one cares about why.- Tupac
Octavia never thought she would know betrayal like many of her fellow royals did, she never thought that the one she gave her heart to would be the one to crush it.
She never thought that her best friend the love of her life would be the son of the man trying to murder her father...
☾~☆~❀~☆~☽
Chapter 1: Grey
She lied, she lied to them all when she said it was okay that her dad broke their promise and she lied when she said it was okay cause he was there.
If she was honest she wanted to laugh at the hellhound when she was telling her all that bullshit about dads trying their best hell how was she supposed to take that girls word seriously when she kicked her father in the balls?
If that speech came from someone else than maybe Via would have a better chance of believing it but coming from the hellhound and felt more like bullshit.
Octavia stared at the ceiling of her room, they came home and the first thing her dad did was grab the homewrecker and took him to his room.
Never in her life has she been grateful that her room was soundproof.
Taking a deep breath Via was about to go to sleep when her phone vibrated. She turned her head and picked it up.
It was a message...from him.
A smile a real smile bloomed across her face as she opened the app.
Come to the window
Confused Octavia did what the message said. Opening her window she almost squeal in delight at the person on her balcony.
Instead she ran to open arms that encircled around her and pulled her closer to a strong chest.
The smell of the desert mixed with leather and smoke filled her nose a smell that reminded her of home. Her real home.
"What are you doing here,"
The sound of rattling filled her ears, letting her know he was happy to see her as much as she was him.
"It's simple princessa I'm here to take you to see the stars,"
"What?"
She pulled away, she was a head taller than him and she wonder aside from being an imp what else he was mixed with because from his height was a head taller than the homewrecker and average imp.
"Yeah, you always talked about wanting to see the stars in Wrath and figured since your ma isn't here and your dad is busy doing Satan knows what with Satan knows who it'll be the perfect time to go visit Wrath."
Octavia looked at him and smiled.
"Sure let's-"
"OH my BLITZY"!
Octavia and the other looked up to see Stolas' head and watched as his body moved.
"The fuck?"
Octavia on the other hand.
"Let's go," she grabbed his hand and dragged him out the castle to the outside where his motorcycle was.
She grabbed the spear helmet and waited till he sat down.
"Do I wanna know," he asked as he started the bike"
He turned to face her.
"And I don't just mean your dad getting fucked by the 'homewrecker'"
She shook her head.
"No, just please Grey, please let's get out of here,"
The imp known as Grey felt his smile drop at the look of hurt and sadness on her. His heart hurt at seeing her like this and kept his growl as well as thoughts to himself, she needed comfort not a lecture and he will gladly take her anywhere so that she will never feel hurt again.
"Alright Princesa, let's get you out of here,"
He started the bike and took her far, far away from her home which was slowly becoming her own personal hell.
☾~☆~❀~☆~☽
A/N: good ??? Bad ??? Tell me what you guys think ^^

Finished the main game with my qunari. (Again, 3rd time, this series has me so hard.) I'm very ready for this run to be done.
The 'make Solas hate me' thing wasn't even remotely easy for me. Though, I gotta admit antagonizing him was fun for a while. 😅 I'm only playing Trespasser with this character, (not the other DLCs) because I'm having painful dysphoria issues with the curvier female qunari form.
There's a reason I usually play male elves. Skinny little twinks are pretty androgynous and don't bother my dysphoria so much. Even female elves don't bother me. They're all pretty androgynous. If only I were.
Plus pointed ears. My entire family has slightly pointed ears so it's just fun.
I actually only gave Sera a Romance chance because of a tumblr post I saw. I'm glad I did. It was the hardest Romance of all for me, but it’s actually really sweet and happy. Good brain chemicals.
As soon as I finish Trespasser to get angry Solas end lines, I'm going to take another run at modding Frostbite. (Seeing bitchy Solas in game was way more powerful for me than a YouTube watch would be.)
I've been modding games since modding became a thing, so it wasn't fun to realize how bloody difficult Frostbite is to mod.
But because I really want to play DA:I with some of the mods, and because DA:DW is built on Frostbite too, I gotta figure it out. It was mostly an ADHD patience/frustration thing, I think. I expected reasonable levels of difficulty in modding Frostbite and it is an absolute monster.
I'm actually tempted to play the whole series again since I'm almost done with reading the books and comics. They added so much depth to the games and characters that I'm curious about how it'll change my perception of them.
And I've heard there's art and references to 'The Dread Wolf' in all games. Curiousity absolutely gets me into trouble, frequently. 😅
It's how I ended up on the Solavellan Hell train. I knew who Solas was 'cause I'd already played DA:I, but I still did a Solavellan playthrough out of curiousity.
Being a writer/editor/literary analyst, I didn't truly think that Weekes would snag me, much less snag me so fucking hard!
So, yeah. A day or two, depending on how much time I have to game, to finish Trespasser, and then I'll be trying again to mod this beast of a game engine.
Once you're an insider in publishing, it becomes more and more difficult throughout the years for stories to capture you. I know all the tropes and can see where things are going so easily because I've been working professionally in this field for close to a decade.
Even with that, Weekes grabbed me by the heart then proceeded to rip my heart out. (He did it in Masked Empire too, great book.) Gotta love star crossed lovers. It's one of my very favourite tropes and I'm actually grateful that Weekes reached me. So little does anymore. And to think I got into this field after leaving STEM because I love to read 🤣, oh... sweet summer child.
Once I get it successfully modded, I'll decide on a full series replay (it would give me more to write about) or not.
Right now, I'm so stressed out by my job search that I'm clinging to DA as my only real stress relief. Usually special interests aren't this chronologically long lasting for me. I tend to cycle through them more quickly.
But with the job search being what it is, and my stress levels being through the roof, I'm just grateful this one hasn't abandoned me yet.
You really wouldn't think finding a decent job (something I'm good at, salary with good benefits, ideally remote because I'm more productive from my home office) would be so difficult, would you?
Anyway, enough of me jawing about DA for now. I need to make an online portfolio for my graphic design stuff. I've been doing it as long as I've been doing editing & literary critique (24 years), and writing for 33 years, but having an online portfolio hasn't ever been a priority because my clients have always found me by word of mouth.
Sigh. I'd rather be doing many other things. I just want a job I can be good at that I'm paid a living wage for that actually uses my skills and maybe pushes me a little to increase my abilities. One that doesn't require my autistic/ADHD ass to do social things because that's probably around the 7th layer of hell for me. Why is that so hard to find?

Tumblr media
DUE BEFORE mid-term break! It's due on the 23rd of August!!!!
Tumblr media
PARTNERSHIP
To be able to collaborate is the key to moving anywhere in the art world, both in creative concept and opportunity. I am lucky to have a partner who is also an artist, with friends that are also artists, and bounce ideas and jointly grow in ability as a result.
TACTILITY
Despite the greater range offered by PC software, I compose most of my music on an old iPad, as being able to touch forms a great part of my connection to making. I chew my digital pens, tap rubbery sampler pads on my SP-202, and feel the paper I draw on.
GROWTH ENVIRONMENT
Both of my parents had a creative spark at a younger age, but were unable to find the support at home to keep this flame going. My parents have provided me with endless encouragement, constructive criticism and plenty of art supplies to keep my dream alive.
HYPERFOCUS
Autism can be a double edged sword in most facets of life, and the capacity to 'hyper-focus' is no different; it can often lead me into rabbit holes of distraction that last hours. But at the right times, this state can lead to me to fully immerse into my work.
HUMOR
It's good to be lighthearted as a general rule of life, and it's also one hell of a defense mechanism. In my art, I'd like to imagine that it strips any barriers of intimidation. My 2023 piece BRAZEN FUCK OBJECT would've had a more apprehensive response if it weren't for the name.
CATERGORIZATION
It's a colonizer trait, I know. But damnit, I love sorting things! I love statistics, infographics, charts, comparing reviews, seeing the top-and-bottom rankings of any given entity. It's given me a fairly unbearable taste in music, but I can't deny how this has shaped my work in turn.
MONOLOGUE
I don't exactly know when to be quiet, and same goes on inside my head. Being left with my thoughts is a common state I find myself in (especially given a pleasantly isolating e-scooter job), both master and subject in my own internal reality. I hear some people call this 'imagination'.
TO BE SEEN
Turns out I'm not a good audience for myself. I don't really decorate my living space, I just keep it clean. Likewise, my work is always made with the underlying hope that it'll be seen. Every note I write might just end-up being uncovered and re-read for all I know. This contributes to a deep perfectionism in most things I do, and honestly should be discussed with my therapist.
NICHE
Generally, I seek comfort in what I do - to quell any particular inadequacies in absence by shooting towards said thing. From there, there's always something else. I want to make art for a living. Find a community of such, and when I get all that, I'll probably want a better pen.
RE-ADAPTATION
I am not that unique, if at all, really; I've just been listing basic human traits for the past nine entries, and likewise, my creativity would not have anywhere close to the variety it has if I lived 100 years ago. Listening to new music, seeing new things, it keeps my mind open and ideas fresh as they get pumped into my brain's uranium chamber, to be mutated and spat out as something somewhat different later on. It's the joy of making, really.

I made an AU of the Septic Egos!
I am trying to draw one- except I'm not that great at art so I have no idea how it'll turn out-
But here they are
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have descriptions for each of them based on what they can do- I'm really excited to just write about them. I am probably gunna make more of them to fill it out more- but here's the descriptions I have for them!
Anti.
Very generic, just has the bladed tail, and his pointed canines- not much changed. Mine just has small, pointed back horns as opposed to his father who has very long pointed horns (Which broke easier)
Chase.
He has a gun for a tail and his horns are taller than the others, being the one with the tallest/or longest horns, his gun rattles before shooting as it reloads itself, and like a normal revolver has 6 bullets before it goes on "cooldown" to be reloaded. It can be fired rapidly 3 times in a row quickly, or shortly for all 6 bullets. His canines are like Anti's, long and pointy. It's something he got from Anti's possession of him, he doesn't mind though. The scar he has on his arm he got from fighting Jackie when Anti had possessed him.
The rattles noise is the barrel spinning in the revolver. Like the noise that starts off the son 'Russian Roulette' if you ever heard that song.
Marvin.
His horns are what show what kind of spell he's doing, being revealed by the star between the tips that grew in a circle. He tried to cut the horns back but the left one was always more sensitive than the right and he wasn't ever able to cut it back. His cat tail is why he went off a cat theme for his magic shows when he practiced Light Magic. Since he now practices Dark Magic he stopped doing the magic shows and focused more on fighting
Jackie.
His horns grow out curled and his tail is much stronger than the others, he has two gold rings connected by a chain that's on his tail that sparkles brilliantly in the sun. For his curly horns, nobody knows how they got all curled up, they just grew like that. His tail, however, was always naturally stronger than the others. He has the power over green electricity, which spark up his curled horns whenever he's pissed as well as sparking through his eyes.
Henrik.
His tail and horns are connected, being filled with green fluid that will kill if injected. His horns are hollow with the fluid and so is his tail, acting like a normal syringe, automatically injects when it stabs someone. He doesn't know what fluid is inside, only that it's some sort of venom that kills a person depending on how long the needle remains stabbed into. The fluid in the horns regenerates after a while so he can inject the substance into someone again
I'm really excited for this AU and just to wrote about it.
But.. what the hell should it be called? The septic ego's having Lil demon forms- what au name should That be?
And while I'm waiting I'm going to Geeky Fox's page and binging their Willow Mist Playlist because I fucking love that au
Edit: From someone on Discord, I got Twisted AU! So that's the- that's the name! ^^
