me and photoshop are enemies now

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.

Me when I find out that Ianto’s dad might not have been the absolute hypermasculine homophobic bastard I built him up to be and now I have nowhere else to put my trauma:

[popstart]

only lesbians are allowed to be offended by lesbian jo and eva headcanons. if youre not a lesbian and offended by jo and eva being hced as lesbians by a majority of the fandom, stop. irl lesbians fall into stereotypes all the time so limiting what characters people are "allowed" to headcanon as lesbians according to what isnt stereotypical not only strips any butch lesbians or mean lesbians or whatever of any fandom representation they may see, but also boxes in lesbians to being only nice feminine and dainty people which, is another stereotype. saying lesbians are only allowed to be one thing is really embarrassing and shows you only give a shit about lesbians if they fit your idea of them.

if youre nonlesbian and get offended at fictional masc woman being headcanoned as lesbian go outside and get some (lesbian) friends

Do you have any characters you hate in canon but love to write in your fics?

This is such an interesting question!!

The short answer is... Kinda? There aren't many characters that I genuinely hate on the show (*cough*Pip*cough*), or at least not any that I've decided to include in a fic.

But if you're along for the ride, I've got additional thoughts that sort of answer your question hehehehe

So when I first actually sat down to watch South Park from the beginning I was already primed to dislike Cartman. And who wouldn't? He's a spoiled, selfish, bigoted asshole. So when I set out to write him in TSOB I was... Not stoked, if I'm being honest. His dialogue always took me the longest and I kept his pov super limited because I found him so challenging to write.

Eventually though, something clicked. I'm not sure if it was a deeper understanding of his insecurities or if my own brain finally let go of the political correctness (and fear of backlash for not being particularly PC with him) that was holding my creativity a little bit hostage, but I started finding him far easier to write. Now he's my favorite to write for, and easily one of my favorites in the show!

Otherwise I think the only character I don't adore that I have written for is Clyde. I'm sorry guys, he's just such a sniveling little douche. I don't particularly enjoy writing for him, at least not more than any of the other side characters, though I actually did enjoy him in Not Suitable for Children so maybe I'll come around.

Thank you for the ask!! I had a lot of fun thinking about how to best answer this one! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

What brushes do you use for coloring because I'm always in awe

these are the bad boys I've been using lately~ I usually use only one main brush while painting tbh, but I do have a few other ones for miscellaneous purposes. never underestimate the airbrush, but don't give him too many privileges ✌️

Are we going to talk about the thinly veiled ableism towards high support needs autistic adults who frequent websites like deviantart for their hyperspecific non-fandomizable special interests, infrequent hygiene practices, “weird fetishes”, that are all clearly shaped by an experience with neurodiversity that is foreign to all y’all rebranded Asperger’s supremacists

No you don't understand how much I love arulmozhi and vanathi! 😭 I read a long ass 5 part novel to see what happens to them in three days.. three days!! tHrEe dAYs!!!!

I am an absolute sucker for fated predicted romances with conflicts.. give me that uncertainty, give me the angst, give me stolen looks, give me the unending worry, give me the soft exchanges that only remain for a fleeting second, give me the subtle prioritisation, give me the i don't realise it yet but I'm in love, give me the yearning.. all of it and more!!

Most of all give me the i was wrong about you and I'm now smitten 😭❤️

Also AHEM SPOILERS :: but the scene where poonkuzhali snaps at arulmozhi because he basically gave vanathi the attention was like a finally having rain in a drought stricken land and then it was drought again 😭

Until the five book which I'm sooooooooo grateful for and sooooo mad at because wtf we deserved more of our idiots 😂

Can someone tell me whether is Arun or arul- mozhi because I've seen people use both and I'm confuseddddd 😬

Also can someone pls write something for arulmozhi and vanathi? Pretty pls? ❤️

the moment people stop being comically against courtney is the day i stop making fun of them for being weird and wrong. stop being weird about a fictional character in ways that are hilariously stupid and ill stop calling you hilariously stupid

[marswasntthere]

rant in tags ig - its kinda late so excuse if my ramble makes no sense.
