The most relatable Elvis tiktok.

I sometimes feel like it sounds cringe to say, “This person saved me.” But it’s so true. I was in a deep depression and had some shit going on when the Elvis movie came out. So, decide to go see it when it came out because I love Austin Butler and who could’ve guessed I’d be leaving the theater completely in awe and in love with Elvis Presley.

Suddenly I felt like I wasn’t depressed anymore. I took a deep dive into all things Elvis. Consuming all of his movies, clips on YouTube, reading books, listening to all his albums and then collecting Elvis merch. I lived and breathed Elvis (I still do). I only felt happy because of Elvis. As soon as I felt the depression coming back I’d just listen to Elvis or watch a movie or I’d go see the Elvis movie again, lol.

He quite literally saved me. I was this 🤏🏽 close to possibly killing myself. If it wasn’t for Elvis making my day everyday and making me happy. Thanks to him I made some great friends last summer on tiktok and had the best fucking time just watching Elvis movies with them and sharing our freaky ass thoughts about him that led me to writing fanfic and bringing my tumblr back from the dead and meeting even more great friends on here.

Anyway, Elvis really do be out here saving lives and forming friendships. I will always love and defend this man with my life. I love the Elvis fandom so much. ☺️

#sorry for the sad rant LMAOOO.#random late night thoughts #we love elvis from infinity to infinity #elvis presley #also I can’t believe in a few weeks it’ll be a year since the Elvis movie came out #when my entire life changed lol

🔊Sound On 🔊 | Spoilers for the end of DATV

There it is, the Solavellan animation I spent an entire month making with little to no experience in the field ! It was a very daring bet but, to my own surprise, one that I did pull off nonetheless ! Takeaway : this is what being completely normal about The Character will do to you.

Many scenes pass by a bit too fast for you to get to watch them comfortably, despite my best newbie attempts. I apologize for the inconvenience. Storyboarding was hell!

�� Bonus scene I had to leave out for practical reasons (ﾉ▽╰､)

Thanks for watching !!

Lyrics :

I walked ten thousand miles, ten thousand miles to see you

And every gasp of breath, I grabbed it just to find you

I climbed up every hill to get to you I wandered ancient lands to hold just you

And every single step of the way, I paid Every single night and day I searched for you

Through sand storms and hazy dawns I reached for you.

– The Sore Feet Song, Mushishi's first opening theme and one of my wife's absolute favourites ( ´ ꒳ ` )

#dragon age #solas #solavellan #spirit cole #fan animation #clip studio #datv spoilers #amburu #WOOOOOOO I completed a long project !!#I emerged victorious on the other side of an ambitious WIP !#this is soooo rare for me i'm so proud i made it to the end #although it took me over an hour to convert to a video file because clip studio kept generating very bad compression at the very end #you can still see a little bit of it but it's way better than what I had to fight off #i'll just leave it at that and accept the current state #it's watchable it's alright #but gee that's an expensive software you know u_u #anyway I MADE THE THING :D :D #this kept me busy for WEEKS #this has been my entire life for the whole start of 2025 #... bit scary now that it's over.....#i actually enjoyed the process... (although i HATED storyboarding it)#storyboarding requires thinking very hard and making a ton of choices #this is the HARDEST thing to do for me in any medium : the planning / layout #I had LITTERAL HEADACHES it was PAINFUL #at one point I had to make a change and i was agonizing over it for hours lol #but once the layout is done it becomes so easy i was listening to podcasts and streams all day while moving my little vector lines around #...phfew...#Hopefully someone will enjoy it but I can confidently say I did at the very least #early on when I completed the vallaslin cut I then watched it and it gave me actual chills because it was exactly what i was hoping for #it's so rare for me to actually experience the joyful part of art creation because im not passionate at all otherwise

i have seen too many bad posts like in a row .

#what a terrible time to be incredibly pretentious #the nolan movie discourse is bringing out a lot of things I would rather not see #dragon age circles post that’s going around giving my heartburn and ulcers #meanwhile im reading like genuinely a life changing book and my rat kid won’t stop climbing on me lol #and she received many gifts that are loud and ugly and she turns them all on at once and sets them on my lap while im trying to read #so fun i love it and she also coincidentally NEVER listens to me like not even by accident #not even once like literally in her entire life #i am tempted to just tell her the opposite of what i want her to do so she can just not do it #but i feel like that would backfire on me so i must endure #i just don’t sleep anymore because that’s the only time when i can do things lol #this will be fine and not have any long lasting effects on me whatsoever :)#sorry this turned into just complaining #maybe my period is coming who knows

My Neekeys over the last two-odd years. I was curious to see the changes 🤔

#forgive the low quality dfghfds it was just an experiment #now to do the DRAW ANYONE ELSE challenge #siggy draws #he is my blorbo. my muse. i guess #don't get me wrong. i am CRINGING and SWEATING at just the thought of uploading this.#have i been drawing almost every day my entire life? yes. does my style still change all the time? yes!#and i'm mostly self-taught so i struuuuggle a lot. i'll finally admit that reference pictures help immensely. no shit lol.#i learned a lot in the last 2 years!!! there are some really ugly ones i didn't show but i kept the cringe old ones sdfghfds help.#i mean they're still here on tumblr so i can't exactly hide them #you can kind of see when i actually started to use reference pictures. and when i got more used to using a tablet #idk digital art is so hard. it's a whole other world. but i'm in it now and haven't drawn traditionally in forever #i can also literally see how i used to CRUSH my nibs while drawing. all those really thin lines?? i pressed too hard lol #i've actually kept all my nibs since i started drawing digitally and....... it's too many fghfds #that one slightly more realistic nicky in the bottom right of the first collage lmaooo. i should finish him... maybe... it's haaard.#the top right on the first collage and bottom right on the second one are good comparisons ;_; they're both pirate!nico gifts for lily!!#i'm feeling sentimental now omg

Ultimately I KNOWWW being born in 1997 means I'm not really a 90s kid, I didn't grow up in it, but I STILL do remember the turn of the century (however very very vaguely it is) and thus. People born in 2000 and later will always feel young to me. So I will continuously be surprised when I hear that someone I know was born in 2000 or later. Such is my affliction.

#speculation nation #back when i was first on the internet 2000s babies really did feel so young...#see when ur 16 a 13 year old is practically infantile... and my brain just never moved past that.#of course when i meet a 24 year old these days im like yea we r peers. of course. not much difference between 24 and 27 #but My God... then i learn they were born in the year *2000*... and my entire life is changed...#im just being dramatic lol but it still does feel weird. ah well.#im the one with a 1900s birthday ;p so im just gonna have to deal with more and more people born later than that.#sometimes i do think about when im old and grey and having a 1900s birthday is a mark of someone *old*#not tiktok old. im already old according to tiktok. but like actually old.#if i live a full human lifespan i might be among the last of the 1900s babies.... u ever think about that...? it's crazy....

I got these shoes from someone recently but thought they were way too plain looking, so I set out on a quest to customize them with some sharpies and charms and miscellaneous ribbon I had in my craft drawers. Mostly sky themed (clouds, rainbows, rain, stars, etc.) because that's my favorite aesthetic, but I had to include some cat imagery as well, of course lol.

#also honestly had NO IDEA that real converse have that star logo on the INSIDE not the outer part??? why the hell would you want it on the #inner portion where nobody can see it?? my entire life I always would have sworn it was on the outer facing portion..#I think these would be perfect IF they were just slightly taller (top part higher above ankles instead of just weird hard material digging #right into your ankle whenever you walk) and if they were actual good platforms. they're so short. It's good that 'chunky' shoes are gettin #more popular as they've always been my favorite Look ever since I had these shoes with roller skates that pop out of thebottom (not heelys.#but like. before those. it was two whole entire roller skate wheels like a normal pair of roller skates) and the bottoms were so tall and #clunky and it made my feet look giant (because it had.. entire wheels in the bottom pockets lol). so #I've alwatys been into the aesthetic but . still I find a lot of the 'brands jumping on trend' are too short of platforms #OR they're plafrorms with a raised back/heel/wedge which to me is not aesthetically good and also makes them exceptionally uncomfortable to #wear compared to just plain completely flat chunky platform bottoms. ANYWAY.. if these shoes had a 3 or 4 inch platform I think they'd be #cooler. however for what they are it's still fine! and I like them more now that they actually have some sort of anything to them and #aren't just plain white. The weird thing is that the material it's made out of (maybe some sort of leather or something) absorbs sharpie?#the color changes over time. You draw a mark and then leave it for a few days and it either fades into being barely there or has changed #colors. so I had to go back in and redo parts. ALSO the shoe chains are so funny because I did NOT have the right tools for them #I don't have the stuff to make bracelets or open and close the little rings. they're held onto the shoe with just safety pins and the actua #little rung things that hold the charms on half of them are like broken or the metal is just jam smushed together bent and warped hhbjhjhb #I actually like the back a lot where there's the irridecent star thing hot glued on there. it's cool and shiny. and the clouds #are sparkly on the main parts of the shoe though I'm not sure how well it shows up in pictures #ANYWAY... shoegs..... If I were rich this is one of the things I would definitely custom order from craftsman #why would I spend like thousands of dollars on plain ass shoes that are just expensive because they're a Luxury Brand when I could literall #like pay people to create me custom shoes to my exact specifications?? I could have like 5 inch flat platform boots with fur andclouds #and cat shaped holes in the bottom with LEDs in them with pom pom and charms and etc. etc. etc. Like as gaudy and excessively over #decorated as I want lol.. AND they could have skates in the bottom somehow!! ghjgbhjb #this on top of all the custom wizard costumes and period clothing I would order.. Like i LOVE customizing things. I love everything in my l #life being as particualr as possible and cultivating every experience I have to meticulously meet my own specific criteria as much #as is possible. If I had the money to I would never buy something from a store again. EVERYTHING I owned from furniture to clothing #would be either made by me - or mostly - comissioned from craftsmen. custom tiles for my floors. custom bed. custom table.#even like. custom toilet. custom sinks. etc. etc. ouGGH... but yeah.. anyway... shoes..

By implying that children are too stupid and rude to learn about the world and learn how the world works and how to interact with others, you are casting responsibility away from the people who are responsible for that child's upbringing and placing the blame on the children (who don't have the autonomy given to them to be allowed to decide what they want) who can't help what they do and do not learn, often.

If the children aren't okay, then investigate why before turning to thought-terminating clichés of, "Well, the kids are just stupid and dumb and aren't even worth the effort because they're lazy!"

#youth liberation #i was really bothered when i saw this clip where this person was saying almost verbatim that...#...'kids [these days] are too STUPID and they're teachers are scared!'...#...why is the blame placed on the kids who have no control over school curriculum and what their home life is like or if they have money...#...it's because when you place the blame on the people with no power or control you don't have the responsibility to change circumstances..#...you essentially keep the status quo while simultaneously belittling a group of vulnerable people...#...and thus you feed into the cyclical nature of the broken education system #the kids these days AREN'T okay but it ISN'T THEIR FAULT...#...it's the fault of late-stage capitalism and poorly-funded education and a world that wasn't even built with them in mind...#...they had NO PART in the creation of the world which is hostile to their entire existence #don't mind the incorrect usage of their in the second tag i was so focused on how pissed i was #also remember how a good chunk of these kids lived through *checks notes* the fucking PANDEMIC LOCKDOWN #which was a clown show in terms of supporting kids and their parent/s #some places handled lockdown in the US better than others but holy fuck in my area at least it was a nightmare #what do you expect from parents who are now working full-time and teaching part/full-time and parenting full-time?#what support exactly are you expecting they recieved? because you'll likely find they got either a little or NONE #hilarious that i used the wrong their in a post subtweeting about education LOL #look i was focused on how PISSED i was lol cut me some slack here

I just realised that:

1. Because bioware often rehire voice actors they used before

2. In voice acting it does not matter if your age do not match your characters age

A majority of DAV voice actors are middle aged. And are all soppused act like Emmrichs:

"i have reached the dreadful age of.... being in my 50s, i am about to die ANY second. No i don't have a disease or anything. But as we all know i am SO OLD, that clearly i need to do something to become immortal right now!

Being in my 50s, pah! *swoons* catch these old bones before i fall, i could no handly such a dreadful impact on my fragile old body!"

Thing makes sense! While themselves being in their 50s (or late 40s). What a performance lol!

More credit to how all these middle aged voice actors needed to surpress their giggles to deliver lines that are basically like:

"Ah yes being middle aged, surely the oldest a person could possible be"

With a serious voice pfft

#dragon age the veilguard #emmrich volkarin #playing dragon age veilguard #it has been said before but what on earth is uo with bioware always trying to tell us being between 40s-50s being some sort of #peak old???#tbh i still refuse to accept wynne as 45 #that was a mistake #no 45 year old could manage walking around calling herself an old old women #and being like this will be my last adventoure but is fine #cause i have lived such a LOOONG life #without falling over giggling #alternative interprention of wynne #she was trolling us with all that talk lol #and i know that wynne is actually sorta #dead in dao well mostly dead #when we met her wherehas the entire “it is fine if i pass this us my final adventoure #makes sense in that context she is already sorta dead ya know #but the reason being 45 is sooo old lmao #wynne is like between 80 to 90 years old you can not change my mind

I drew this explanation post for why I was completely inactive for a week, but then felt too anxious and drained to post it, and subsequently disappeared for a second week

Two main blog drawings and one side blog wip later, I remembered I made this and still think it's funny, so even though I stopped being dead (TM) I still wanted to share lol

Brief series of events at work

^^^old, but I'm still taking it easy so posts on both this blog and my alt will continue to be scattered for now

#so for those of you that don't know; i have moderate combined scoliosis #my entire back is always at least a little strained so i have to really watch my physical activity #but i live in Tennessee where we have the lowest federally allowed minimum wage #so in order to pay for college i have to work in a package distribution company because it's the only place that pays well/has a scholarshi #I'm in the small package dept thankfully (bc spine)#but for the last three months one specific manager kept sending me out to a different area with the heaviest packages in the building #when i first disappeared it was because i was having trouble walking and using stairs lmao #I complained to that manager and it seems I'll be in smalls again for the foreseeable future; so I've had time to recover and am better :D #every day i didn't post after that was due to anxiety and a low social battery BUT I'm getting slightly better on that front too #i have been *very* aware of my spine lately though #the last time I got an xray was ten years ago and i wonder if it's changed since then... not that i can afford a new xray lol #also can i just take a space to complain about the US not using the metric system #so many packages have kilograms ONLY and i have NO frame of reference for that since we don't use kilograms anywhere else #''ooh wow 70 is a big number but surely it can't be that baD- HOLY SHIT THAT'S 154 POUNDS'' <- me all the time #at this point I myself will just switch to metric and make life harder for both myself and life around me out of principle

#currently on the worst road trip of my whole entire life! well. i don't want to jinx it lmao but #today i popped TWO TIRES at once in the middle of the Katy Freeway in Houston TX (the widest highway in the US; 26 lanes btw)#managed to make it over to the shoulder without DYING but then had to sit there for like an hour? and panic called a tow truck because duh #I know how to change a tire but I was – again – sitting on the shoulder of the widest freeway on the continent so #anyway I called a tow; a guy showed up. I assumed it was the tow! turned out it was not. but he helped me put on the spare and then was lik #“follow me to my shop I can do the tires for you” and I was like okay! 👍 but then the ACTUAL tow called me and I realized this was #just a random guy (very nice up to that point but then I got scared about following him to a secondary location?) and so I didn't lmao #I just kept driving and didn't follow him but the guy on the phone was then mad at me because I wasn't where I said I would be because #AGAIN – I thought the original guy WAS the tow company that I called? but anyway guy 2 on the phone was like “YOU OWE ME $200!!!!”#and I said for what? also how would I pay you? and he tried to get me to cash app him lmao?? I didn't. I hung up on him #he called me like 6 more times yelling at me until I finally just blocked his number 💀#however NOW at this point I'm driving on one spare tire and one rapidly-flattening second tire and I still have 3 hours left to get where #I was going for the night and to top it all off I'm in the middle of a city I've only been to one time before? so I manage to get to a hote #like a nice-ish one where I'm like “okay if I get stuck here this won't be the end of the world”#because keep in mind today is a national holiday so basically everything is closed!!!! btw!!!!!#but eventually I'm sitting there and it's literally 100F outside and I remember oh right lol I have car insurance which pays for a tow #(a normal one; not a random one I panic-found on google who calls me screaming at me to cash app him $200)#so anyway I call my insurance and the guy on the phone is very nice and is like “it's okay; we'll have someone to you in 45 min”#and I'm like okay. OKAY. 🙌💪 I am a strong independent woman who is figuring this out and no longer on the side of the highway #but instead in a nice calm neighborhood and all I have to do is wait 45 min and everything will be okay #one hour goes by. I call back. get redirected to the tow company that was dispatched. guy says oh! is my guy not there yet?#I say no. he says okay – I'll have him call you. hangs up.#okay. 20 more min go by. guy finally calls me. says “I'm 20-25 min away” at this point I've been waiting about an hour and a half #I say. okay? okay. 30 more minutes go by. I try to call the guy back. straight to voicemail. three more calls. three more no answers.#I call my insurance back. sit on hold for 15 min. eventually get put through to a different person who's like “okay let me check on him”#get put on hold. eventually she comes back and says “okay he says 15 minutes” I've been waiting over 2 hours at this point. I have to PEE #I just... burst into tears. on the phone with this poor random woman from Geico Insurance. I'm bawling my eyes out.#she was trying to get claim info from me but I'm crying so hard she's like “oh baby no. okay. okay. we can get that from you tomorrow.”#when you cry so hard that even the insurance company is like “you know what we're just going to let this one slide”#anyway guy eventually shows up. he's very nice even though I hate him a little for being so late. he drives me to an OPEN TIRE SHOP

I remember reading fangirl when I was like thirteen and there being that mini plot thread throughout the novel where for the longest time Cath was too scared to go to her college’s dining hall because she didn’t know how it worked and was terrified she’d accidentally embarrass herself so instead she just spent half a semester eating peanut butter and granola bars until her roommate noticed and forced her to go with her. And that just really stuck with me because even at the time it felt like something I would do and I thought about it for years and years and then when I was finally at college on my own and I knew. that I needed to go to the dining hall and get food and eat but I was scared to do it on my own because I didn’t know the rules and what if I did something wrong or embarrassed myself and I couldn’t even ask my roommate to go with me and make it less scary because I didn’t have a roommate (covid protocol). Anyways Cather Avery most relatable character ever.

#fangirl rainbow rowell #thinking about it and yeah. i had mixed feelings about that book at the time but it was really the first main character that i could #see myself in. every description of cath’s social anxiety felt so familiar to me and it was also the book series that sort of. helped me #understand fanfiction? (before that i disliked it (had never read it) because i had a really incorrect understanding of what it was and why #people wrote it. i didn’t love it after finishing the book but i didn’t despise it anymore either)#anyways. books that probably did change my life a little bit #also i did eventually make it to my dining hall. there was a girl there who i knew from high school and when i mustered up the courage to #text her she was super nice and immediately invited me to have dinner with her. so i didn’t have to live off peanut butter for an entire #semester thankfully lol

this is the funniest thing that sits and rots in my drafts because its been four months atp and i still have not thought of a single headcanon for these two

#idk what it is in my brain that makes it so hard to engage w media that way but i really cannot do it to save my life #and it becomes harder and harder the more i care about something #i think. when i love something a lot and see it as perfect (in my eyes) as it is #it’s hard to justify changing it or adding to it at all because theres always the possibility that i am making it worse #it also (personally) feels like. a selfish pursuit to change and add onto canon #(which is an argument that falls apart entirely when you dismantle the idea of canon altogether)#BUT!!! at least FOR ME i am terrified of ruining something by making it more about me and less about the thing that it is #analysis is my way of getting around this #engaging with my own interpretation of media is so much easief than engaging with and altering the media itself #and even then #my analysis needs to be important or it’ll rot in my head (or drafts) for all of eternity #its. whatever that quote is thats like.#everything i create needs to be perfect to make up for the fact that its me #thats how i approach anything #unfortunately LOL

It’s still interesting to me that I see people mostly blame Scott for making Pearl have a bad reputation (this is about DL btw), and then others will point out that Pearl was usually being weird or a menace to others and that’s why she had a bad reputation not just cuz Scott was saying she’s his crazy ex soulmate, but NOBODY brings up that Ren (and BigB) literally went around saying “PEARL IS A DEMON!!!! IF YOU GO ANYWHERE NEAR HER YOU WILL DIE!!!!” Like… if ANY outside force is making Pearl unfairly look bad I’d look to the guy acting like it’s a witch trial rather than the soulmate who simply recounts the things Pearl has ACTUALLY done lol.

#I had this thought before I watched thru Scott’s DL. after watching it I will say Pearl should’ve said things SCOTT did lmao #trafficblr #double life smp #dlsmp #but yeah like Scott wasn’t ever rlly exaggerating when telling others what Pearl was up to #and sometimes ppl would listen to him and go ‘surely she’s not that bad’ and then interact with pearl and change their minds. lol.#but like Pearl just on her own was being a menace to ppl so Scott kind of just validated their feelings about her mostly #I don’t actually know if Ren’s whole ‘pearl is a demoness’ thing actually swayed anyone #but like. ‘my soulmate tortures me with snow and tries to forcefully live with me!!’ yeah I guess that gives a bad impression. entirely true #tho. ‘Pearl is a demon witch who curses people with her mere existence’ uh. yeah that’s a very bad impression and entirely untrue.#which one of them is REALLY spreading exaggerated bad info on Pearl
