dick took the news that a strange thirteen year old broke into his apartment while he was away at the circus pretty well, I gotta say

the sky background in the poet | artist mv is an actual 8mx18m painting made specially to match the mood of the song (x)

powerful mental image of lucanis expounding passionately about any given one of his limited but extremely deep areas of interest (the wyvern/knives/coffee/cooking/murder continuum of lucanis dellamorte special interests if you will) while rye lounges around and Beholds him with palpable twink boutta pounce energy

aromantic culture is still being 90% sure that middle and elementary schoolers can’t actually fall in love and all your friends in that time period were just faking their crushes because of peer pressure

Being a mechs fan is all fun and games until someone plays house of the rising sun on the speaker at work and it takes every ounce of willpower you have in you not to say "My good pal Jonny d'Ville killed his dad to this"

I was cleaning up some broken links on my old silly Pokemon fansite, the Neglected Pokemon Lovers Unite (NPLU), and I realized that it has now been open for 25 years. TWENTY. FIVE. YEARS. That is an ASTONISHING amount of time for a site to stay open! Even if the last substantial update was like back in 2009 lol. The world around it has changed so much, but I think it's still valuable as a time capsule of a certain time on the internet. I wrote up a new essay about it on the site and did some general clean-up here and there.

Anyway to that end, since so much of the fic and art there is so old, I decided to compare Radic's oldest form to his newest! Radic was always a human boy but I just couldn't draw humans at the time so I made him a furry lol. Eventually I figured it out.

I also thought it'd be a neat challenge to mimic my own style back when it was really wonky and bad. And it was! It was kind of fun actually. I don't have too many shots of Radic from back then (it was hard to get art on the internet in the late 90's-early 00's), but I do have a few - hugging Kitsune, two old kiribans if you want to compare. I had a lot more old shots of Parasects though to reference unsurprisingly, they were very triangular lol. I think I did a pretty good job of matching what my art used to look like. I had a clear see-through Gameboy back in the day if you can't tell what Radic is holding lol.

("Isn't Radic the faceless avatar of your gamer self as depicted in Handplates-" yes, but Pokemon!Radic is the only one that actually became his own character, all the rest are shells)

If you do go poking around the NPLU, please keep in mind that almost everything there is very old and most of the fic and art is pretty bad (and shockingly violent). Plz do not judge me! My younger self was a cringey weeb but she was trying very hard. :<

at some point in disability you stop wanting to "get better" and this is just really hard for able bodied people to understand for some reason

I think like…if you’re joking around like “oh this ship is canon 100% trust me” that’s fine and oftentimes very funny, and pointing out stuff between characters of the same gender that would 100% be taken as romantic subtext in an m/f situation is great, but if you’re using literally anything that says “these characters care about each other” as “evidence” that a ship is canonically implied I’m gonna side eye that

[quaranmine]

i have drank way too much iced coffee today and am appropriately wired about it, and now the guy who was annoying me for the past two days has now managed to screw up something for my coworker now, and i think he has made an enemy for life from me at this point

I think the funniest thing to come out of Dragons Rising is the fact that both seasons have a character with at least one explicitly queer-subtext moment. Sora with her name and rejecting the society that she didn't fit in with, Bonzle worried no one would accept her for who she is now when compared to who she was "supposed" to be, my friends the closet is made of glass.

I've decided this is now mandatory, at least one queer allegory every season. I'm enlisting all of you to help me enforce it. Onwards, lads, to victory
