#y'all are quite active for this

can we all keep it together and promise that we're not going to go back to the "i love these dumpster fire books" mindset with aftg and with tsc when tsc comes out? i'm tired of y'all pretending the writing isn't good and like the character arcs and plot and subplots are bad when they're actually beautifully structured and they deserve our attention and our praise without a "but it's sooooo bad haha" being added to everything. these books are good. and if you can't admit to yourself that you're reading them because you like them and they're good then maybe you aren't ready to pick up the story that we've been waiting for for years.

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will

_____ used Destiny Bond! _____ is hoping to take his attacker down with him!

-

(Belatedly) celebrating the one-year anniversary of the 'Destiny Bond' comic with a rare, fully-illustrated piece. A bit of extra context and rambly thoughts under the cut 🫶💖💕

A little over a year ago, I posted the first part of the Destiny Bond comic, originally intended to be a one-off doodle exploring the consequences of Morty's prophetic abilities on his relationship with Eusine.

That sketchy doodle of mine ended up being a whole narrative project spanning across a few months, before I eventually took a pause on it to focus on my mental health (having reached a low earlier in the year).

It was a daring enough project in and of itself, especially with how I had spontaneously taken it on when I was still recovering from a years-long burnout with 2D art. Though (temporarily) stopping sooner than I had hoped, I can confidently say that this little comic project of mine had helped to rekindle my love for drawing as a whole, and had further lead me to meeting some of the most wonderful people and friends in this small corner of the Pokémon fandom (whom also happen to be obsessed with these two silly guys from the GSC/HGSS games). It's a project I hold dearly to my heart, and one that I hope to revisit and continue once I feel ready to do so; as the story has yet to truly kick off (I'm not even joking we're still in the prologue technically I'm yelling /lh).

I hope to be able to share the rest of this story with you all one day, in whatever new form it'll take as. For now, I want to say thank you, from the deepest parts of my heart, for supporting this passion project of mine - and to assure you to tune in for the future of this title. 👀✨

The amount of wonderful Etoiles fanarts I see on Tumblr truly warms my heart, you guys are so talented all I can do is watch in awe and aggressively press "Reblog" like a parched man who found an oasis in the desert.

(Also I'd encourage you also post it on Twitter X if you have one, Etoiles often mentions how he loves the fanart that was made on here, so if you'd like him to see it, Twitter X is your best shot !)

Anti-medicine tr@dwife moms on social media will be like "I quit giving my kids medication when they're sick because Big Pharma is poisoning everyone and I know this is true because I used to give my kid tylenol and it made them hyperactive just LOOK at this video they were laying down sick with a fever half an hour before this, this is what it did to them" and then it's a video of a two year old playing with their toys and maybe dancing around a little bit like wooooowwwww you gave your young child something to relieve the symptoms of their illness that were making them exhausted and in pain and now they're PLAYING and acting like a relatively healthy kid instead of acting too tired and uncomfortable to do anything?????? Yes clearly that's a sign that they're being poisoned and not at all that the medication maybe helped them feel better

ok soooo, i've been kinda thinking about this today and wanted to ask this in relation with my most recent post (that for some reason isn't showing up in the iwatex tags😮‍💨): shooooooould i make like a series thingy with all the romancable characters in that type of outfit? like posting a piece once every week or two? yes? no? i'm mostly asking since i kinda want something to draw on the side while finishing up some remaining art requests (which are being worked on, dw)

[guppygiggles]

Im similar to Avery, in a way (related to your lastest ask)

My extended family is very small, and I am also an only child with older parents :3

Thank you for letting me know, I adored chatting about this with you. 💙

If anyone else is an only child and would like to share their experience, I would love to hear it. I am not an only child, so hearing from others with this kind of perspective would be highly valued to me, and would lend insight to how I write Avery's family dynamics.

Aros and aces have been yelling about qpp Imodna since day one and catching shit from allo wlw like it's 2014 and they have a moral duty to be dicks about a/rospecs. You guys listening yet? Or are we still pretending qpps are just friendship and the scary a/rospecs are being homophobic?

[chickadee-djarin]

Not gonna lie: I’ve been putting this off for a while now. Mostly because I wasn’t sure what to say.. actually I'm still not sure what to say.

Everything just kinda got a little hectic. Life got really busy and I was having to prioritize where I put my energy, and due to what seemed to be a steadily mounting toxicity in a certain fandom at the time, stepping away from Tumblr was so easy that I hadn't even realized it'd happened.

But life's calmed down and I've started to feel ready to rejoin the Tumblr community - with a couple of conditions: 1) that I clean up my account and remove myself from what had begun to affect me negatively; and 2) that I set myself boundaries in regards to how active I am on here.

I hope y'all can understand my absence, and please know that I'm returning purely and simply because I've missed you so<3

So let me know what I've missed? What chaotic changes have come to Tumblr? (Why do some people have little check marks? What is blaze? I don't remember there being so many ads before..) And most importantly - how are y'all??

It's extremely rare for me to actually tag someone, I know, but I found this very interesting and fun. I'm very curious to see what people get for their muses.

the only person who was actually right about the world and human nature was Max striner everyone else is a fucking moron

Striner? I hardly know 'er!

Anyways, I'm not a philosophy expert. I'm just some guy. I like the egoist belief that there isn't a universal moral truth. I like the absurdist belief that, because nothing matters, we should be radically sincere. I like the christian belief in a place without suffering after this life. I like the Universal Random Number Generator idea my therapist and I talk about

All of them have their flaws though. Egoism gets used to condemn social movements and civil rights advocacy. Absurdism and the RNG can create a sense of existential dread and a loss of motivation. Christianity encourages the loss of identity and free will

I'm just some psych student with a weird ass therapist that understands my weird ass brain. He encouraged me to look into absurdism since I took a class on absurdist literature my freshman year of college and he said I might enjoy looking into the actual philosophy. And I do! At least a lot of it! I like the idea of a chaotic universe and us humans trying our best to control it. I like the idea of letting that go and living authentically instead of with a direct purpose. There's chaos and mayhem and entropy and I'm just here to react to it. And I can react in ways that makes others happier if I wanted just because I can

Egoism/egotism feels too disconnected from the human need to connect to me. It traps me into that feeling that doing something good for someone is selfish if you're doing it to feel good. I'm actively working to get out of that spiral Christianity put me in now

I don't know, though, anon. I'm just some college student with an ex-christian tumblr blog and a lot of trauma. I like to believe there's some Universe-sized Abstract Computer with a random number generator that causes the chaos we call home. I skim wiki pages and reddit posts and decided if I want to engage any further/look for textbooks. I could possibly be looking at the wrong page about the wrong philosophy. I'm honestly just on this earthly plane for the bit

Hi! Have you seen that nct jaehyun, dooyoung and jungwoo made a sub-unit? Their song is called perfume and it is just SO FUN! The song itself reminds me of some of the old suju songs because the beat is so fun and makes you wanna dance, but the choreography is also ridiculously fun! You should check it out) I was reading your posts about the lack of fun in kpop, and this was honestly very refreshing to see. The mini-album is also quite good, and they even did a live-band cover of their songs. As always, nct guys are incredibly talented musically, good job

i actually really did not like their release....or their subunit.....or the album............
