funny crying little man for @poreyneel as my part of our art trade!! 

(づ ᴗ _ᴗ)づ♡

the idea behind it was "gortash after realising that durge is gone or dead. he is alone\ exhausted\ waiting for something that is not gonna happen". so ofc OFC i couldn't resist to use part of the infamous durge's love letter. im not sure if orin or balthazar\ketheric would cared enough to show it to gortash BUT IMAGINE IF THEY DID SDKFJKSFDKJSDF OH MY GOSH

Really love how the fandom decided that post-canon Hollow is skilled at and enjoys cooking/baking

I see this hc all over the place (I've adopted it myself!) And It's honestly adorable

Phoenix should be nicer to Larry because Larry's resume is fire and all Phoenix has is lawyer and fake pianist but real poker player.

Could Phoenix sculpt a miniature replica of the figure AND engineer it to be a TALKING clock? NO!

Could Phoenix portray the Steel Samurai on stage to an embassy audience so well that he mesmerizes #1 Nerd Fan Miles Edgeworth with the performance? NO, that bitch only watches Children's Masterpiece Theatre, not even the far superior Monsterpiece Theatre on Sesame Street!

Sometimes, friendships come from the most unexpected places or with people you’d never think you’d connect with. But that’s the beauty of it—it shows that friendship can grow between anyone, no matter how different they are. It’s proof that bonds can form in the most surprising ways. So don’t be surprised if you ever end up being friends with someone you never thought you would! 💖

Friendly reminder that this blog loves factfolk of all kinds. Factkin, facthearteds, factives, anything else--you're cool, your identities are no more inherently harmful than those of other alterhumans, and you deserve so much love and kindness.

Don't let anyone tell you that you should be ashamed of yourselves or should permanently hide away because of their own biases, people they've met, or stories they've heard. They can block you or ignore you if they're uncomfortable, and sure that's their right--but don't ever let someones uncomfortability control your identity and how you experience it. You are you, whatever that is, and no one can take that from you.

thinking about pokémon legends arceus how it’s revolutionary for being the first game where you don’t have to trade with another player in order to complete the pokédex. everything you need is right there in your own game. it’s an empowering thing to be able to do everything yourself- yet at the same time to me it feels reflective of the way that so much of the game is about isolation and the burden of independence. if you can do it yourself, you *should* do it yourself, right?

in the story, so much depends on you and you alone. the friends you meet are nice and they do help, as best as they can, but they’ll never truly understand you. you’re alone in this world- a stranger from another time and place, who gets viewed with suspicion at every turn, who has to prove themselves over and over again. and when something goes wrong, after everything you’ve done for them, people have no problem exiling you to fend for yourself in the wild until you can somehow magically fix it

you don’t have a rival or other companion- you fight your way through the world alone. the one person who more than anyone else 1. thinks incredibly well of you right off the bat, unconditionally and 2. takes a personal interest in understanding your situation ends up betraying you and then angrily spits out the ‘outsider’ line as well in the end. were you ever really friends? the beginning and ending are the same- you alone with arceus, in a unique otherworldly place, high above everyone else and removed from them. as opposed to being down to earth and happily connecting with friends. which is like what the series has always been about

again like ik the player character does meet friends who help out and also that you do have the option to trade but like. the overall Vibe is that of loneliness. you’re surrounded by people but you’re still ultimately out of place. you’re special and powerful, but that just means having insanely high expectations placed on you. you stick out like a sore thumb in this world. lonely powerful hero. am i making sense

"It's all right," he says softly. "It's done. No one can take you away now. Not without my being able to take you back." You swallow thickly, and it has nothing to do with the taste of fruit.

Sometimes I just get so emotional over Jason enrolling at an all boy's boarding school. He wanted something mundane, something human, something his for once in his life.

Hey

Do you have any information on the Oreo and KitKat boycott going on

And any advice on alternatives ?

As far as I'm aware, anyone boycotting Oreo would be doing so because Oreo is in part controlled by a company that invests in Israel.

KitKat may be due to a new reason but in my sphere it has been a long time boycott due to being a Nestle product and Nestle having an atrocious record with not being staffed with literal slavery.

By alternatives do you mean specific alternatives, in which case, yeah most supermarkets will have their own knockoff versions that are very similar. Or do you just want me to give you biscuit recommendations?

hi! hope your having a good day/night/timezone/etc.! u got any writing tips (like how to not lose motivation/use up as much of it as u can while u have it, any ways to get the words flowing/“get in the writing mood” that have worked for u) for any of ur fellow fic writers? (idk if this’s been asked b4 (it seems like a common question lmao), but if it has, ‘pologies, lolol ^^)

i have a few that i've been thinking up to try and post!!

remember that you aren't on a deadline to write, and to take the time you need. no one wants to read something you rushed, let alone do YOU want to read it. and it REALLY matters if you love what you're writing. you'll kill your motivation trying to keep up with something like that!! if you only had time to write 300 or you had a great day and wrote like 3000, you're doing great either way!!!

there's a lot to keep up with when you're writing, and you have to remember and understand all of it. if you're trying to write while you're tired/upset/etc, you'll likely end up with something you're not that proud of. (granted, art is art, and sometimes these emotions can create something beautiful or meaningful). take metal breaks so you can come back to your work with a fresh mind, and don't overexert yourself. you'll remember and understand more if you treat your writing time like you would when you're studying. sometimes i make flashcards to remember characters, places, events, etc.

sometimes i can get too analytical with my writing, or it starts to become flat? if that makes sense? meaning, like... i'm putting words on paper rather than delving into the story. too many "they felt this way" and not enough "Character A turns to face the man that had changed their entire life with the single shot of a bullet, careless to what damage he could have caused. It's haunting to see that the man is simply that: a man. Not a monster as they had imagined, laying awake at night and wondering what their father had seen in his final moments. He's just a man." what helps with this is putting myself into the shoes of a narrator, remembering that i am telling the story as if i already know what's happening (even if I don't know where I'm going with a scene yet). i imagine that my reader is right there next to me and i'm telling them the story in real time like we're sitting around a campfire telling ghost stories, or that i'm the quirky narrator of a book they just picked up.

During times where i'm losing inspiration or feel like i'm in a loop, i like to go back to my favorite medias and spend some time with them. i recently rewatched Gravity Falls, the Sea Beast, and the Adam Project, and it was a fun mental break that got me into the writing mood. i try to find similar media to what i'm writing at that time. if i want a scene focused on funny banter or a comedic effect, i read or watch comedy. if i want to write a scary scene, i'll watch a horror movie. etc etc. "studying" your favorite media and putting yourself into your fav writer's writing shoes is a great way to improve your own writing. think about why that joke was funny, what the set up was that made it that way, and if it would have been a different joke if another character said it (Gravity Falls is one of the best media you can use for this, but really, reading mysteries in general can help)

physical exercise, if you can. getting your blood flowing and treating your body well!! when i was in band, we used to do "body warm ups" set to music, and i still do them to this day. it gets me awake and alert while also letting me listen to fun music before i write
