Hii just want to say again how much I loved your George fic

Could you explain more about the original version of the story? Were there any parts that you really wanted to add but they just didn't fit in the end?

thank you again :3 youre amazing and wonderful and thank you for sending in this ask :3 this is long so imma put this under a cut

i originally talked about it much more in detail here. this includes the general plot and the intro :> and there's also this short animatic-ish thing i did with one of the songs in the playlist, marina's are you satisfied?

the main thing that was omitted that i feel is too important for me to exclude from at least this universe is that. well, as tumblr user georgierre i think it's obvious. the reason pierre was omitted is mostly because i didn't want to make this fic too centered on a romantic relationship, since the original had them as an established couple. actually, in my drafts, the au was called "the phone call au" because it was literally just about how george and pierre navigated an established relationship through a phone call, which mirrors the fic i based the plot on (for all the honest world to feel).

the relationship they have is very nuanced and needs a lot of attention for me to be able to do it with justice, so i decided to just Remove it. i did manage to find out what i'd like to do with them, and i think i can do it if ever i write a pierre pov— i call it the "pierre radicalization arc" LOL. it wouldn't be established but all i can say is for now, pierre has liked george for a very long time.

another part of my fic i REALLY wanted to write from my original outline is a midway point interlude, where nicky leaves george for a few days because he wanted to watch the silverstone gp. the only reason this was omitted is because sandy, nicky's girlfriend plays an important role here as well, but only makes the most narrative sense when we include pierre in this since i made them narrative parallels.

instead of toto figuring out about george at a random tesco, nicky basically gets summoned left and right at silverstone because of the rumors that george is staying with him. it starts with alex, then pierre, then toto, and i actually have a bit of the toto scene written out:

on the other side, sandy surprise visits nicky's flat (knowing george is there, so it's ok) because she wants to prepare for his birthday. so while nicky's off tending to pierre, sandy helps george in london. she makes him watch the barbie movie in this iteration LOL.

some things i've omitted explaining in detail were at least added into the final version in small bouts, like the mention of george's holiday epiphany, or him disassociating in hungary. they're a little lengthy so i'm just saying you are ALWAYS free to ask me more stuff to expound specific points, because i know i wouldn't be able to fit them in one post. i genuinely mean that, nothing would be too annoying :3

lastly, there were things in the new version that also got omitted. what's funny is the slumber party was supposed to happen after george's nightmare, but i thought it was too optimistic or contrasted too much. another, was that there was supposed to be a rain scene! like, a scene that's supposed to represent them curing their lost childhood by playing silently in the rain, inspired by bluey's rain episode (hence why the song is in the playlist near the end + the ig post in the end mentions the episode song). it was supposed to happen after they watch preludes, then when i felt it too tonally off, especially since we don't see george express his thoughts abt preludes, i tried moving it before they left for são paolo, but that also felt too off. i just decided to hint at it, while i made the slumber party scene their true reclamation of childhood.

anyway, that's all i could think off for now! again, anyone is free to ask me or message me about the universe :]

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

I've decided to go through and reblog all my murderbot art now that the show is coming out. and by golly i meant ALL OF IT.

this is some premium 2020 baby bram art. my god. YALL I'VE GOTTEN SO MUCH BETTER AAHHH!!

this is what you get when you spend ages hanging around the same fandom. you get to draw the same secunit multiple times over five years and see how you improve. lets fucking go.

oop here it is. Murderbot wearing ART’s uniform because it’s my favorite thing.

I really enjoyed designing Murderbot. because we get so little actual description in the books (“generic human”? Seriously Murderbot!? That could literally mean anything) it allows for a lot of creativity. I always imagined it having kinda messy hair (at least after it grows it out) because I don’t imagine it would really care much about styling it’s hair.

I know it definitely doesn’t have blue circles in it’s eyes but it looks cool so fight me (ง'̀-‘́)ง

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".

it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.

do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.

but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.

do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).

you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.

walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.

no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.

do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."

you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.

there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.

i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.

he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."

Most annoying thing to remember is that you're litterally just a homosapien. You're just a very smart animal. If you feel like shit, imagine you're an exotic pet for some alien species and do what they'd do to keep you healthy. You gotta be well cared for. Animal abuse is a crime for a reason

"My pet human, Greg, hasn't left his bed in a long time. He's just scrolling his phone all day" Greg needs enrichment. Add enrichment in his enclosure and take him on walks

"Greg has been super lethargic and sad recently for seemingly no reason" Greg need vitamins, take him outside for some vitamin D and fresh air. Perhaps a picnic

"Greg won't sleep even though he's been super lethargic" Greg needs a schedule, especially for the lights in his enclosure.

"Greg has been super distant recently and keeps crying to sad music" Humans are pack animals, he needs to hug another human and hang out. Perhaps pack bond with a rock together

"Greg has been flailing around and panicking, his breathing is way faster than it should be" Greg is overwhelmed. Take Greg out of the situation and give him time to calm down. Perhaps somewhere cozy with tea and a movie

"Greg won't do what he needs to do" Train him. Humans do great with positive reinforcement, give him little treats when he's doing good

"Greg he's been super anxious and tired, he can't seem to enjoy his days" Humans needs to move around. Give Greg something to exercise with. Things like stretching, weight lifting, walking, or even dancing will help

"Even though I've taken really good care of Greg, he still has been having issues" Greg is ill, take him to the doctor. You might need a specialist (therapist, optometrist, oncologist, etc)

I know it feels patronizing, and I know it feels embarrassing or that you're "just giving into the clichés", but you are literally just a creature. You need to sleep/eat on time, you need enrichment, and you need to take care of your social needs. Humans are complicated animals, but they are also beautiful and all deserve proper care. This obviously isn't a perfect analogy, nothing is, but if you saw your friend taking care of their pet the way you take care of yourself, would you be concerned?

hii so the state of missouri is trying to propose a bill that will allow the government to hunt down migrants and place them in concentration camps!

theyre bribing people to report undocumented immigrants for a reward of $1,000. this is clearly an excuse to detain people of color as there is no way to tell if someone is here legally based purely on the color of their skin. anyone found guilty will serve life imprisonment.

link to the bill

if youre from missouri please sign this petition and call your elected officials.

please share this.
