#your next-door neighbor

[mochiiros]

Hello once again Tumblr, I draw cute men. Here's your cute neighbor man also :">

[morganbritton132]

I think it’d be really funny if before he became Robin, Tim saw Batman doing some shit he didn’t like and was like, “Hmm, gotta fix that.”

Then went about it in the most-annoying-kid way possible.

Like, Tim sees Batman send Robin home even though Jason wasn’t sick (he would know) and didn’t have a test (he’d know this too). So the next morning, he skateboards up to Wayne Manor when he knows Jason is at school, Alfred is doing a grocery run, and Bruce is most likely trying to catch up on sleep.

He rings the doorbell seven times.

Bruce watches on a security monitor after being woken up as his neighbor’s kid ding dong ditches him and then takes off down the driveway on his skateboard. He’s so baffled by it that he doesn’t even ask himself why the kid isn’t in school.

This happens four more times before Bruce makes the connection and thinks, “This has something to do with Batman.”

There’s an hoa neighborhood down the road from me (it wasn’t there when I lived here as a kid, truly a weird place to put an hoa too..) and they have a large field for the hoa members to use that I have only ever seen in use once. I bet it’d be a good place to bring juniper and a herding ball.

Not sure if this is an odd question - if someone were to draw characters like Machete as humans, is that a thing you'd find amusing/like to see, or do you consider that to defeat the purpose of how you made him?

I ask this as someone who loves your work but is notoriously bad at drawing anthros, but also just because I think the philosophy behind how and why people design characters is very cool.

Have a great day!

I've been asked this a couple of times within past few weeks and I haven't managed to come up with an answer until now.

The thing is, I don't really know what my characters would look like as humans myself, and an overwhelming part of me doesn't want to find out ´v`' I'm not sure if their designs would translate to human form very well at all.

I do appreciate the fact that you asked though! I understand it's agonizing when you want to draw something outside of your area of expertise, it's the same thing with me and making fan art of human characters. I'm sincerely very flattered that you liked my guys enough to consider drawing them. Unfortunately I don't think I'm fully comfortable with humanizations of my characters, at the time at least.

im unsure what to make of everything, this site stinks the people who run it suck ass. i dont blame people for jumping ship- but we do this on the regular, switching websites every few years because they're always in some shape or form awful as shit and it always reaches some kind of breaking point.

i wish there was such a thing as a safe place online anymore, i have so much dislove for how close proximity and limited options have become

[thelonelyshore-if]

is there a postal service? how big is it (not very, id assume)?

There is, yes, and your assumption is correct! It's very small--a tiny post office tucked into city hall with a handful of employees. Enough for people to send mail to one another if desired, although nobody truly lives that far apart.

people who say that people disliking their fics for handling taboo subjects is "censorship" have never lived under an authoritarian gov't in the global south and it shows.

like i'm glad y'all do not know the actual ideological policing and draconian violence that real censorship entails. sucks that your fics aren't getting the feedback you want but bffr.

Did it irk anyone else that we were just meant to be eagerly molding our life according to the ideas of old men who were just so excited to kill 98+% of the population? Like the way you hear them talk about it they are so excited to be personally riding down w Jesus to commit atrocities.

Like why would I want to mold my values according to someone who thinks like that???????????

"Granite Obelisks", by Vasyl Symonenko

Written in 1962 about 1917.

The original poem in Ukrainian:

PS from me, because I feel the translation does not reflect the meaning well in several lines.

1) The first 2 lines about granite obelisks crawling - is meant to describe the visual of how grave obelisks multiply before your eyes, when many people die too fast - as if those obelisks are crawling all over the land

2) I would omit the "But" in the beginning of the 3rd line. It shifts the meaning somewhat, but I can see how it was added for the verse's rhythm.

All in all, without trying to rhyme it, this would be my TL:

"Granite obelisks have been crawling and crawling over the earth - as if giant squids - until they had no more strength and stopped.

There's simply no more room for new graves in the graveyard of the murdered illusions"

3) The 2nd verse - I'd change the line like this:

"A million faiths - all buried in the ground

A million fates - all grinded into dust"

Small, but I feel like it translates better the meaning of many multicultural lives being snuffed out in this land by the people who come to subjurgate us.

more Childe observations: the only times i'm halfway satisfied with my writing of him is when he is a) not the POV character or b) in an action-focused plot where he mostly just does and has no time to waste on having an internal monolog

[gildedmuse]

Ahh, what a cute scene in the middle of so much violence and drama. I wonder what these little sweeties wished for.

["What did you wish for this year, darling?" / " For life to stop sucking. Why? What did you wish for? Magic fairy dust? Don't be an idiot, we all know this place is deep in the shit."]

I mean, I DEFINITELY know what hers was. I mean just look at that sweet, innocent face.

[Let the fire consume. Let it make ash of the immoral, the unkind and sunder their souls to the ever burning planes. Rebirth is on its way but first we must make a blood sacrifice to the eternal flame.]

.... She's not wrong.

Don't mind me making a random haunted au where the Lamb moves into the Bishop family's old ancestral home that the thousand-year-old ghosts of the Bishops remain in after an unsolved crime that Narinder may or may not have been the perpetrator of (memories are fuzzy 😔)

I have this feeling that I have unofficial beef with my neighbor...

[jessicas-pi]

I just did like 25 more incorrect quotes featuring Jacen, Poe, and my OCs Rune, Diani, and Luce

Jacen: How do you want your coffee?  Rune: Black, like my soul.  Jacen:  Jacen: Rune, your soul is a latte. 

---

Rune: The real treasure was the memories we made along the way.  Luce: I almost died.  Rune: That... was my favorite memory. 

---

Rune, to Poe: I'll be under the mistletoe when you start feeling desperate! 

---

Luce: *looks at Caleb*  Luce: Baby boy. Baby.  Luce: *looks at Rune*  Luce: Evil. 

---

Diani: You look mentally ill.  Jacen: I am. Let’s go. --- 

Rune: Luce, what are you doing tomorrow?  Luce: Having my day ruined by whatever you’re about to ask me to do. 

---

Rune: You call it "really bad at darts", I call it "freestyle acupuncture."  Bartender: ...I'm going to have to ask you to leave the bar. 

---

Diani: My heart is guarded but like… very poorly. The kind of guards that would let 3 kids in a trench coat into an R rated movie. 

---

Diani: There’s no “I” in team, but there is one in pizza.  Rune: So, you’re not going to share?  Diani: I’m not going to share. 

---

Rune: I don’t think the therapist is supposed to say ‘wow’ that many times during their first session with a client, but here we are. 

---

Rune: So I can either do something dumb that could very well get me injured or I can listen to Diani and not do the thing.  Rune: Well there’s a clear right answer here.  Rune: *proceeds to throw five packs of mentos into a barrel full of diet coke* 

---

Rune: A fistfight CAN be romantic. 

---

Rune: I want a bf.  Jacen: Do you mean best friend, boyfriend or bread feast? Because you’re being really vague here. 

---

Jaen: Is this your plan B?  Poe: Technically, this is plan P.  Jacen: Plan P? Is there a plan M?  Poe: Yes, but I marry Rune in plan M.  Rune: I like plan M. 

---

Jacen: HYDRATE OR DIE-DRATE!  Jacen: *aggressively throws water bottles*  Rune: Uh... what's up with him?  Poe: He’s trying to yell mental health and wellbeing into us.  Jacen: I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU!  Diani, crying: It's working. 

---

Rune: How do Jacen and Poe usually get out of these messes?  Diani: They don't. They just make a bigger mess that cancels the first one out. 

---

Diani: We need a distraction.  Poe: Is anyone here good at jumping up and down and making weird noises? Rune, whispering: My time has come. 

---

Diani: I am convinced Rune and Poe share a brain cell.  Jacen: And it's not in use very often, it seems.

---

Rune: Could you guys at least try to see this from my perspective?  Jacen: *crouches down*  Diani: *kneels down*  Poe: *sits on the floor*  Rune:  Rune: I hate all of you. 

---

Rune: Now, if I may speak for good-looking people everywhere...  Luce: Only as their rodeo clown. 

---

Jacen: The odds of this happening by coincidence are vanishingly small.  Diani: I would say infinitesimally.  Rune: And I'd say teenily-weenily. We all know words. 

---

Poe: I made this friendship bracelet for you.  Diani: You know, I’m not really a jewelry person. Poe: You don’t have to wear…  Diani: No, I’m gonna wear it forever. Back off. 

---

Rune: Sometimes, I don’t realize an event was traumatic until I tell it as a funny story and notice everyone is staring at me weird. 

---

Rune: Made you all playlists!  Rune: Diani, yours has only heavy metal, and is dark like your soul.  Rune: Jacen, yours has sad songs and blues to pair with your crippling depression.  Rune: And Poe has the ABBA Gold album. 

---

Rune, trying to comfort Diani: What's the problem? Anxiety? Low self-esteem? Obsessive thoughts of random arson? I've been there.
