THANK YOU SHIFTING PATH!

Happy Calibration/Exalted Secret Santa 2023!

I think I speak for all of us when I say I'm astonished you've been organizing this event (aka herding internet art cats) for so long. I know this nerdy little community looks forward to it every year.

This year, in honor of the milestone, I wanted to acknowledge your efforts in a bigger way, and I got almost all of this year's participants to join in. Thank you to everyone who let me put your artwork in Path's little art gallery there, and thank you extra to the folks who left messages as well!

I hope the new year is treating you all well, but no matter how it's going, at least we've got this little community here, and I think I speak for many of us when I say I value that a great deal. Here's to the next 15 years!

(Disclaimer: I didn't know until AFTER I drew this that someone else started this and that Path took it over after year one, but I'm still giving Path the credit for *getting* this event to the 15-year mark. That is still one hell of an accomplishment.)

(To fullmoonspecial: I couldn't reach you to get your consent before Path put up the post-event wrap-up, but if you'd like me to add your art to the gallery wall there, I still can.)

#exalted #exalted secret santa #exalted secret santa 2023 #Thank you Shiftingpath #yes I've been planning this for weeks #I love being secretive and nefarious for good #I just KNOW I'm going to find a typo later #It never fails.#It's not a GOOD comic #but it's made with love

[ID in ALT] I've made posts before about Talia/Dick co-parenting Damian moments (will never happen but let me dream) and this came to me in a vision. Took me ages to finish for some reason 😭 and then even longer to post

#dc comics #dc #damian wayne #dick grayson #talia al ghul #batfamily #dc robin #nightwing #anyway. yes im a self-indulgent ''dick as damians secret third parent'' truther #like i DO think it's way more complex and nuanced than the schmoopy affectionate fan portrayal of it #they're brothers they're father and son they're partners they're the dynamic duo except only in past tense etc etc #but consider! I'm not immune to schmoopy affection in fanworks. it compells me despite itself #anyway it's technically not that crazy when it comes to dick and damian. they hug! often! at least they did #it's not as big a leap to these types of scenarios #also talia ''somewhat absent for complex reasons on both her and damians part but very loving and loved by her son'' al ghul #you will always be famous to me #son of the demon origin...bwahhh #anyway. someone made a comic kind of like this/like a post i made abt this topic #but way funnier bc dick and talia starting trying to beat each other up #so go look at that as well #anyway. it's been a somewhat difficult few weeks so I'm. desperately trying to take it easy #i got some reading with me (first vol of kevin smiths GA run that i found second hand and jaimes BB run vol 2!)#so we'll see how far i get through those. considering there's demons in my head telling me to re-read things (LET ME OUT!!!)#when i finish GA and BB i do plan on rereading robin 2021. as a treat to myself #it's a run I've really warmed up to as time went on #I'm keeping up w/ the current b&r run even though it is. admittedly very slow w/ some weird dialogue #i read it for the damian content more than anything. also nikas back so that's neat :]#idk I have a feeling that after absolute power shakes out we might get some more creative team switch ups #so if anyone at dc is interested in taking over the reigns on b&r...that could be very neat #mine

1x16 | The Blind Fortune Teller 🔮🃏

And to think the way this scene - and the absolutely masterful performance by Cameron Monaghan - snowballed into what can only be described as Schrodinger's Joker for the rest of Gotham's run

#Gotham #season 1 #jerome valeska #jim gordon #lee thompkins #the blind fortune teller #Gotham 10 Year Anniversary Extravaganza #yes i know this and yesterdays gifsets are late #when i tell you i literally have had zero time #in between final month of wedding planning & new job obligations & shit hitting the fan #the only way I've been able to actually put these together is quite literally not sleep #i've probably gotten a grand total of 6 hours this week #wont be doing much sleep tonight either #but we're in the home stretch and i am excited!#honestly pretty happy with the way some of these gifs came out #1x17 will be posted literally as soon as its made (hopefully in a few hours)#my gifs #mine

#tw vent #ah yes logging back into tumblr to yeet this and then going #i will persevere i will persevere i will persevere i will persevere #i've never felt this much like an alien in my entire fucking life and that's saying something from someone who was excluded in primary #school and has been since (regularly called devil spawn as well isn't it lovely)#i'm sick and tired of this #i never planned to make it past 18 but i did it regardless out of sheer fucking spite and will and wanting it to get better #and here i am six years later and just as miserable #except this time i won't have to spend weeks discreetly hoarding a stash because i never threw it out #and i know that's not the thing to do and that i should continue to press on and all that and believe it will get better but like #at this point i'm not sure if; even if things do get better that i'll even be in a position to appreciate it?#i feel fucking broken and i have been so utterly numb for most of my life #i don't know how to make friends and even less about how to keep them #i've spent my entire life trying to fit in and getting mocked and bullied for being weird #i adapt personality traits of everyone around me for the sake of never risking upsetting anyone or putting myself at chance of ridicule #i don't even know who i am at this point- i don't think i've ever known myself because by the time i became a teen #i was already hurting myself just so i could get some of my frustration out without making a scene or trouble anyone #it took six years for anyone to notice; six fucking years and even then all i was met with was anger #i hate being excluded and i hate being left out and people keep doing it and i keep doing it to myself #because i don't want to be here anymore but i don't want to hurt anyone so i remove myself from social relations so no one will miss me #i feel so fucking alone and it's all my own fault and i'm so scared to do anything about it #how can anyone want to spend time with someone who doesn't even know themselves? i'm a mess i'm sorry i needed to process my thoughts #but i guess i'll persevere #my cat needs me to #tw suicidal ideation #tw self harm

buying hozier tickets for brussels was a reasonable decision and necessary for my mental wellbeing

#had to cancel my dublin plans and my ticket for dublin just got sold #and i was really sad i couldn't see him live this year and I've been thinking about that Belgium option for over #a week now and today my brain just quit #let's goooooo #i know i Will be speaking Korean when trying to communicate in French there #(yes that was my first concern when i bought it. like fuck. i forgot everything I've learned in the 9 years of French I've had #at school AND whenever i try to speak a language other than english i automatically switch to korean grammar because that's my main foreign #language now apparently.#the second concern was: fuck. how do I get there (NOT BY TRAIN!!!) (but there will be trains involved. i have no choice. BUT IT'S WORTH IT)#anyway #self control #I'm good at that #void screams #hozier #concert stuff

can my job PLEASE hire more people oh my godddd i'm so tired of them calling me asking me to come in early, or calling me asking me to come in on my days off 🧍‍♀️like why even make a schedule then‼️‼️‼️

#i get that people call in sick sometimes but this has happened i think every week since i've been hired...#usually i say yes when they ask me to come in early but. not today. i literally picked up a shift on my day off yesterday leave me alone 😭#i could tell theyre upset but like. YOU SAID 5. SO MAYBE I HAVE PLANS UNTIL 5. (if working on selfship stuff counts as plans then i do)#i don't hate it there (still makes me feel stupid a lot but it's manageable) but it's just exhausting as an introvert. even part time...#and being employed does NOT!!!! help with my nihilism and depression like i thought it would 💀 in fact it has become much worse 😀👍#i guess my socializing is getting a little better at least. but also idrgaf about that 💀#vent tw #caitiechat

Hello ♡ It's been a while!

It's been over a year I think? I haven't kept track tbqh

I'm not really back, because I want to be noncommittal as possible (since I have a tendency to disappear when my motivation to write does)

But this is me saying that I'm finally working on under the rose again! ♡

I'd all but abandoned it months ago, but yesterday I had a burst of energy and managed to write a couple hundred words. Tonight, the total is 1300. It's not much, but it's a start!

I don't talk about my personal life for many reasons, but this year has been one of the most difficult I've ever experienced. The last thing on my mind has been Will and Azul, as much as I wish they'd kept occupying every inch of it like they used to.

That spark is coming back, I think! ♡ (More in the tags since this is getting long)

#I have lots of plans for this story since what I have published is barely one third of the entire thing #It works in three acts if I'm remembering my outline correctly. I'm still re-familiarizing myself with it #But yes I do intend on trying to get part 2 of ch. 9 out in the coming weeks!#I also wanted to continue the Ruby x Bobby x Stef love triangle in a band au setting but I'm seeing that the app is gone?#I cannot even begin to describe how upset I am that S1-3 are all gone before I was able to replay properly #Not to do a sharp turn but it's been a very taxing year mentally and I want to start the new year off by trying to work on a resolution #Which is finishing a fic! I don't know if I'll finish it in 2024 but I'm determined to write as much as I'm able #Anyway I will still be a fandom recluse but I'm excited to catch up on all the writing I've missed ♡#Posting this and going promptly to sleep ♡ (Insomnia is a huge part of UTR's conception LOL)

THE TIES THAT BIND || a travis x laura playlist about the pull of fate, the lines drawn in the sand, a home you can never return to, and finding hope and trust and love again in the last place you would ever look. [read] [listen]

master & a hound - gregory alan isakov where were you when I was still kind?

promise - ben howard who am I, darling to you / who am I

little lion man - mumford & sons but it was not your fault but mine / and it was your heart on the line / I really fucked it up this time / didn’t I, my dear?

wish it was true - the white buffalo mother, I tried to do right by you / to do what you asked me to / I did wrong, and I knew

poison & wine - the civil wars I don’t have a choice but I still choose you

the savior complex - phoebe bridgers all the bad dreams that you hide / show me yours, I’ll show you mine

happiness is a butterfly - lana del rey do you want me or do you not?

shrike - hozier I couldn’t utter my love when it counted / ah, but I’m singing like a bird ‘bout it now

peace - taylor swift all these people think love’s for show / but I would die for you in secret

heal - tom odell and take my past / and take my sins / like an empty sail takes the wind / and heal

to build a home - the cinematic orchestra this is a place where I don’t feel alone / this is a place where I feel at home

last sunrise in the wasteland - at the end of times, nothing instrumental.

#hackearney #travis x laura #travis hackett #laura kearney #the quarry #the quarryedit #the quarry fanmix #the quarry playlist #sometimes i make things #yes this is a shameless post for my own soulmate au lol #the ending of that was the cheesiest thing i've ever written and i stand by it #if you like sad indie folk... i'm your girl lmao #most of these songs are actually on my general travis/laura playlist #(...which is actually my bthtny playlist really)#with some changes #no my general otp songs have not changed in the last 10 years #sorry for the clichéd choices #but this has been my writing playlist for the last eight weeks #that and hand covers bruise from the social network soundtrack playing on repeat for five hours straight 🙃#i did have something more ambitious planned for these gifs and then my ambition slammed against my actual photoshop ability #i'm very out of practice #hackearney fic exchange

Would love to work my way back up to being the type of person who can do more than 2 or 3 things per week and in fact possibly even does multiple things in the same day but boy I am not there yet

#Still make one plan and then need 5 full days to recover and I'm in awe of people who are like #Yes I had my yoga class this morning then I'm gonna go grab lunch with a friend then I need to go home and work on this thing for a few hou #Then gonna go to a party like that is so far from my life just thinking about it makes me feel anxious but #I would genuinely love for that to be my life but it feels so unthinkable rn #But I just have to keep slowly working at it I guess #Because I've been like that at points in my life however right now we're at the #If I leave my house for a 30 minute walk every day and see one other person besides my partner in a 7 day period #And do One hobby for like 20 minutes a day then that's all I can manage and the week was a success 😭#But i guess we all have to start somewhere #I. Am literally just so fucking exhausted all the time

of course I have a required attendance event that completely decimates my free time the first day of nano 🙃

#quil's unholy underworld #and of COURSE it's somewhere i've never been #so not only will i be busy for like 3 hours #but i'm also busy NOW fucking. researching location directions and parking because i'm autistic and need to know Everything #AND!!! i've already done all my homework #so. this is literally the only thing in my way #and it's going to take up fucking. the entire afternoon #i don't wanna go :(#<- yes this is mostly the panic talking and i'll be fine later but later is not right now!#this is so so annoying #up until like last week I thought it was at a different time. so. had to scrap my plan put together several months ago #i am not having a good time
