Stuff I did when I was in middle school around the mid 2000's.

Just a friendly reminder that you never know what people are going through behind closed doors. It's been an emotional week for so many, to say the least and it's reminded me that showing kindness, caring and compassion for others, even when they might be doing things that you don't necessarily understand or agree with, is always a positive choice, especially when they are acting out of character and not like the person you've come to know.

People struggle in so many different ways and more times than not, they can get very good at hiding their pain, to the point where no one realizes how bad things have gotten until it's too late.

Don't hesitate to check on people if you're worried about them and let them know you care! It might not seem like much but to someone who is really going through it, it might just make all the difference in the world to them.

Choose love, choose hope and let people know you care and that you're there if they need you.

Ik Pyro is from Sydney in the comics (most likely Woolloomooloo specifically since he mentioned his grandma lives there) but I have a really in-depth headcanon about him being from somewhere in Tasmania (in-depth enough to include animal motifs and broader historical things lol I thought about this way too hard) and I really want to form it into a proper fic but I really don't think it would be that interesting to anyone other than, well, me...

I keep thinking abt Zoruru and Taruru's potential as a comedic duo. Yall don't understand how funny but also potentially emotionally investing I think they are. Like on one hand we got this kid fresh out of training with hopes and dreams to achieve, already at a good point in his career because hey, he got accepted into one of the most elite platoons their army has to offer! What more could a guy like him possibly ask for? And on the other we have an old man who at this point is completely disillusioned with the Keron Army, never wanted to find anything worthwhile there to begin with -- he only joined to go after his true objective. He's not moved by ambition, but rather revenge.

Their personalities are the polar opposite of each other which you'd think would cause them to clash. There's teasing, playful banter (from Taruru) and half hearted threats (from Zoruru), but in spite of that they get along surprisingly well. That's because they have one thing in common: neither wants to be put aside. They both want to make something of themselves. They want to be recognised; Zoruru, by those who wronged him, and Taruru, by... everyone. He might be not exactly sure, but he wants people to recognise his worth. In that process, they both train hard to work towards that goal. Maybe together, maybe separately, but the idea is that they both end up doing exactly that: they acknowledge the other's abilities. And later, each other. As people.

They both get exactly what they need out of this unlikely bond. Taruru finds someone who recognises him as being apart from the crowd ("not a background character", as he put it in the GRR platoon arc), and Zoruru finds what he's always looked for, even though he might have forgotten it along the way: a genuine friend. Taruru gets the older keronian to loosen up, if minimally, while Zoruru reminds the younger one to not place his trust in a single life path.

They're not just great comrades, they're genuinely good for each other.

...have i ever showed yall my little gremlin?

anyways, i finally put my kj oc up on artfight, so here's all the art i did for her XD. i think she was my first oc??? or at least, the first oc i actually fleshed out

(yes, i drew that semi-realistic portrait of her. yes, it took 5 hours of my life. yes, i am also aware her eyes are black in that drawing for some reason. i gave up fixing it)

here's her artfight page if you wanna attack her 👀(pretty pls 🥺🥺draw my baby)

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

im finally going through my stuffed animals to choose which ones to donate (most of them. ive been putting this off for a long time ahaha sobs) and each webkinz i put in the box kills me inside

[capn-twitchery]

twitch makes 1000x more sense when i remember they only got out of the cage gardens like. 5< years ago. they do not have 40 years of life experiences. they still have to fuck around and find out

they're at the equivalent stage of when you just Did Shit as a kid to see what happens bc you don't know what happens yet. the stage where you should be gently guided to not stick your fingers into electrical outlets. except twitch is an adult so nobody is stopping them

[meowsticmarvels]

reposting this from my twt bc its funny but olike. im still thinking about this. sigma with glasses could be real methinks... mostly because it would be really funny but also I Love giving characters stuff like that actually

[somerandomcryptid]

What if XD took a younger Cryptid?

Yes this is another au of Dreaming of death, I'm sorry I keep making so many but I had this idea and immediately had to make it a reality because oh boy would it be... interesting

And change quite a bit I think.

For context, this Cryptid is 8 years old

Cryptid at 8 is a very different person to Cryptid at the start of canon Dreaming of death.

I'm probably gonna go do some more sketches of this little au because mmmmmm but I just wanted to post this first

Also by the way, they're 3'8, so they literally go up to Wren's elbow. And while they would hate being squished, if they wouldn't bite you, they'd be very squishable.

(Dreaming of death is an au of the fic penpal by @calamari-minecraft-corner)

kimhan theerapanyakul and regulus black give out the same vibes.

Saw some artists draw Rise Raph’s mask in a bow and I fell in love ♥️

[wakingfromthewater]

Not to sound totally woo-woo but sometimes I have like. Dreams or mental images and afterwards I'm very aware that if I lived in another cultural context, this would be a spiritual or divine experience. And while I don't live in one of those cultural contexts, I think just recognizing those moments when they happen has actually improved my life.

Kinda wish a lot of my friends would stop demonising NPD?? Like they're always like "I'm cool with personality disorders, people with them aren't to blame for having them" or have a PD themselves, and then they turn around and go "Ugh I'm done with pwNPD, they're all awful."

The kicker is that this is ALWAYS preceded by me saying that I have a LOT of NPD traits and would meet the diagnostic criteria some days of the week (much the same way my friend has NPD but would meet the criteria for BPD some days). Like...ok... I literally just told you that I have a lot in common with people with NPD...you KNOW our mutual friend with NPD. You KNOW that he has NPD. And you look me in the eyes and tell me that you think that we're both awful????? Hello??? Fuck you???

Because Mithridate is about to release their collection for spring/summer 2025, here are some of my favorite looks from ss24 that I was going to post in April and then ADHD happened and I didn't. In no particular order because I can't choose favorites. Fuck, these are gorgeous.

Huh I wonder why these look so familiar...

You can see the rest of the collection on Vogue or Mithridate's website and I'm excited to see ss25 in a couple days!
