It's 2024 can we please stop saying it's normal to trace or copying an entire drawing and pretending it's 100% your work? Just bc you changed the character or added clothes on a base you found on pinterest it doesn't mean you created original art

Edit: I need to specifying some things, or somebody might misinterpret this post in the future.

Tracing and copying are more than okay to use if you need to exercise or study stuff! Copying might be a bit better because you're actually training your eye and hand on how to make shapes and volumes. My best advice is, if you trace something, keep it for yourself and don't post it online (if you do, ask the original artist if they're okay with it)

Always use references, especially for anatomy stuff! It's not a cheat! Poses are complicated, and there are a lot of photographers posting pose packs FOR FREE TO USE! Or even artists drawing them :)

Remember to read the TERMS OF SERVICE when using a photo/ base you've found online: some people want credits, others are fine without them! But you have to check to know, and please be respectful

YCH (your character here) are NOT free to use bases; please know that. They are artwork from other artist showcasing a type of commission they are doing. And neither are WIPs

do NOT trust stuff you find on Pinterest. A great part of the artworks over there have been uploaded 1) without the artist consent and often 2) with a misleading use. Already happened to find other artist artworks or sketches being given out as "bases".

This post came from the fact some of the images used and traced were actually anatomy studies made by a very famous artist who requested for them not to be traced over (or if used like that, to give credits were it's due).

For the actual bases, they can be found on Twitter, and credits are required as well.

For that one traced artwork. It's actually a work in progress made by an artist, and I suppose it was uploaded on Pinterest, so some people might think of it as a base? Although it has on it "WIP" and the original artist name (if you've been drawing. You know exactly what those 2 things mean). The other things that bothered me it's while for the other there has been an attempt, this one it's traced 1 to 1. Didn't bother to change the character face at all. That's what makes me mad. Taking all the credits for something that you didn't do. That's just being lazy and not giving a fuck about art. Also they traced other artist's illustrations as well with their OCs so. I guess it's not just fandom art 😂

On a side note, this is something that I've seen happen quite a lot. And especially if you're doing commissions for a living, a trace accusation can destoy your carreer. Therefore, I won't tell this person a name or make a callout post. I did block them and moved on, and this was a vent post I had to do for myself.

ohhh.. now i do.

bf!bang chan x f!reader

A/N: frontal lobe developed & i just realised im the most active at writing fics when i have exams… what a cute little quirk i have ☺️

CW: flashback, “bubba” 😟, curse words, he dropped that L bomb FIRST🙂‍↕️, kinda freaky.. oops — p in v sex, missionary, raw next question🤯 (wrap it up folks.)

Summary: you & bang chan came back to the hotel where you first met, and reminisce on how the two of you came to find eachother. & then some.

can be a standalone but!!! here’s part 1

the morning after, you woke up pissed off. your body clock thought it would be cool and cunt to wake you up and 7:30 am even though it was literally summer and you were literally on vacation… you lazily rolled over to smack your hand onto your phone and drag it off the bedside table to check your messages.

3 messages: from your friends to tell you how much fun they had… chop!

2 insta notifs: to tell you that doja cat is live & wants you to join [??]

and 1 text message: from “baddie from the bar.” …whoever the hell that is

at first you truly thought it was a scam caller trying to convince you to give out your card details so that they can finally send you your etsy package that you didn’t even order.

BUT, there was an emoji. scam callers don’t use emojis…

so, when you open it, everything from last night just rushes back into your head.

maybe 13 seconds into the elevator trip, “y’know what, you’re actually so funny and chill.”

you smack your forehead so loud that it echoes in the big hotel room. “EW!”

anyways,, after tweaking for maybe 30 seconds you get over yourself and actually open the message and reply. keeping it short and sweet with “hey how are you?” & closing your phone and throwing it across the room upon just remembering he was actually really fine.

coming out of the bathroom after showering, brushing your teeth and washing your face, you accidentally step on your phone and you have more messages. popular girl.

1 from one of your friends that left you alone; it reads: “waah don’t leave me on read, swear we’ll let you be a third wheel next time!!”

and ANOTHER text from “baddie from the bar”, yes god.

« i’m good thank you, can i see you? » HELLO.

after you’re done kicking your feet over genuinely a 13 second conversation, you try to make the nicest possible outfit out of what you brought with you and as soon as you’re done getting ready, he’s at the door knocking. scary af.

you open the door and there he is. clad in a black linen shirt and black pants to match. his hair is down in his face, flicking his eyelids and some very expensive looking sunglasses sit on the top of his head like a tiara.

“well, hi.” you beam up at his handsome face, giving it a slow once over.

“hello.” he flashed that charming smile at you and your legs almost gave out.

“we should go somewhere.” you playfully poke your finger into his hard torso, trying be cute, feigning confidence— even though youre low-key shitting, and he takes your hand in his.

as the two of you make it into the elevator, you lean on him once again; just like you did the night before.

he breaks your comfortable silence; “do you remember much of last night?”

you sigh out a quiet laugh, “i mean i think so.. what did i do?” involuntarily furrowing your brows.

he laughs with you, “no you didn’t do anything bad, i’m just wondering. to see if you still fuck with me.”

“pfft shut up.” you elbow his side.

6 months later, pan to a beautiful, luxurious and dimly lit hotel room, grey interior and a full back wall of floor to ceiling windows that let in the cool light of the city below you—

“…and the rest was history.” you sighed out dramatically with your eyes closed.

suspicious silence pulled you out of your dreamy state as you cracked your eyes open only to be met with bang chan’s incredulous expression. “babe, what?”

“i did not say that.” he burst into laughter before doing maybe the worst impression of himself ever “‘do you still fuck with me?’— no. not me.”

you threw your head back, “oh my god. you literally said that.”

“mmmm… i think you said that to me.”

“dude.”

he laughed, “anyway, anyway! i gotta tell you something. baby, you wanna know something?” he pokes the side of your arm.

“hm?”

“i made you a playlist— like i made a playlist that reminds me of you..” he dips his head down momentarily before looking back up at you— he’s shy.

“what?! you did?” your face lights up as you spring onto your knees on the hotel mattress.

“uh huh.”

“ooh who’s in there, lemme see!” beckoning motion with your hand so he passes you the phone but he flinches away.

“uh, no! no, it’s a secret.”

“what, it’s literally my playlist.”

— the two of you are play fighting for his phone by that point.

“actually, i’m the one who made it. so really it’s mine.” he quips back.

“channie.. one artist.” your brows furrow into a pleading expression.

“pfft, okay, um. ariana? grande?”

she just throws her head back and laughs.

“from which album?” and he just scoffs.

“baby, i don’t think that matters.”

“right.. right.”

“aye, but you know what does matter?” he taps the knuckle of his pointer finger across your chin, to grab your attention, “bubba, you know what matters?”

you throw your hands up dramatically, “oh man. i don’t know. what matters?”

he wraps a big arm around your torso and drags you into his side, “that you’re here with mee,” he says, dragging out the word, kissing up and down the sides of your face. “this is where we found eachotherr.” he nuzzles his face into your neck.

“my god, can you stop.” you barely laugh out as you turn to look at him. after flickering your eyes across his features you decide to kiss his nose making him scrunch it up.

“why is it that you’re allowed to be corny and affectionate but i’m not?”

you shrugged, “it’s normal when i do it.”

“now, as i was saying,” you ran a finger up his forearm and started to shift from your position next to him, “i like you a lot, and um. i’m really happy to be here with you. not even gonna lie, man.” you planted your knees on either side of his hips, lacing your fingers between his on one of his hands while the other came to rest on your hips as he laughed at your informality.

“‘man’.. yeah ok.”

“i just think it’s romantic that you wanted to come back here..”

“mhm.”

“and you tried to get the same hotel room…”

“mmhm.”

“and— channie, why are you shifting, i’m getting motion sickness.” you point a confused look at him but it seemingly goes right through him. his eyelids were dangerously low.

“you just look so pretty.” he shrugs innocently, “i don’t know.” and you just laugh at him. it makes you wonder just how much of your praise even went into his head.. and how much of it went maybe somewhere else. “let’s swap places.”

bang chan slides a big hand up your waist and behind your back and pulls you in, flush to his chest before lifting you slightly and turning you over— so that your now under him. now he was the one on his knees but you were looking up at him. you dragged your calves up his thighs to rest around his waist and pull him into you.

“y’know, you actually look really good from down here.”

“yeah?” he dipped down to plant an open mouthed kiss just below your jaw. this caused your cocky confidence to immediately fall flat.

“well, i mean yeah.”

and he just laughs with his face in the crook of your neck, “can you not make me laugh right now, i’m trying to seduce you.”

“oh, oh okay. yeah okay, sorry.”

he continued pressing feather-light kisses up your neck, the front of your neck, the side, your jawline again until he reached the corner of your mouth. he paused - just for a second - to bring his hand up to your face and rub the pad of his thumb over your cheekbones. you fluttered your eyes open, wondering why he hadn’t kissed you yet. he was just.. staring.

“baby, i love you.” oh.

before you could even respond to his confession. slowly, he pressed his soft lips against yours. starting out gentle, almost as if he was holding back, like you could shatter into a million pieces of fine china. however, after you had started to move your hands across his face and into his hair, his attempts at tame kisses could not prevail. the more of yourself you put into kissing him back, the weaker he became. you could hear him start to moan into the kisses as you gently pushed your hand under the back of his jacket and tank top, moving your other hand out of his hair to start tugging at the hem, signifying you wanted to take it off.

he momentarily broke away from the kiss with a ‘tch’ sound and rose back up onto his knees before you. he quickly took off his jacket and threw it onto the floor next to the bed before crossing his arms over his torso to remove his tank. when the tank top was off, lost somewhere in the comforter, you couldn’t help but run your hands over his abdomen, ever so slightly dragging your nails as you peered up at him through your lashes.

he reached down to hook a finger behind the waistline of your pants, silently asking to take them off. he dragged them down your legs, pressing a kiss to your hip, just above where your underpants start. he moved his face back up to ghost a kiss just below your ear.

“b- uhm, baby? i really need to be inside you. please?” he sighed out heavily, “could i take of your underpants?”

you threaded your fingers back into his soft brown hair “mhm.”

with your confirmation, he looped both pointer fingers into either side of your underpants to drag them down and pulled down his own boxers to reveal his hard dick.

he leaned down on his left elbow to press a kiss to your nose, “gonna put it in, okay?” and you nodded at him.

the two of you both sighed in unison as he slipped his dick inside you with ease. though you’d been together for months by this point, you still didn’t think you’d ever get used to the feel of his dick pushing past for the first time.

once he had made time for you to get somewhat used to the stretch of his dick, he started to thrust at a steady pace, grabbing at your thighs to pull your legs back around his waist. from this new angle, he was managing to hit your g-spot with every thrust. because of how close his hips had gotten to yours, you could feel your clit brush against his pelvis

“ough fuck— pussy feels so good around me…” he whined into your shoulder, “so tight around me.”

the sound of your hips slapping together bounced off the walls of the hotel room and you prayed for the walls to be sound proof.

“just like that, baby…”

you could tell chan was starting to get close by the way his thrusts became less calculated, he seemed more pleasure driven and his heavy breaths started to turn into low moans.

“babe, m’gonna need you to tell me when— mmph, when you get close, ‘kay?” he lifted himself off of his elbows, pulling your thighs into his arms and speeding up his pace, “gonna give it to you, mkay?”

“chan, baby, i’m close, i’m gonna—“

“cum with me, baby. cum on me, please, need it so bad.” he leaned back down to push sloppy kisses onto your lips and as you reached your orgasm, you felt the stutter of his hips against yours as he came inside you, whimpering and sighing in your ear.

after the two of you had come down from the highs of your orgasms, he slowly and carefully pulled out of you, put his dick back in his sweats and grabbed your panties from the bed side table to slide them back onto you and lovingly kissing your legs in the process.

“hey, chan?” you pulled him down into your arms with your legs and you stroked his ever so slightly sweaty hair away from his eyes, “i love you too.”

a/n: CORNY ASS ENDING but i lowk dk how to end fics,, especially after smut like damnnn chill on me. anyways, hope you liked😸 um and also, i dont think channie’s a minute man im just not too much of a smut connoisseur. i am once again pleasing that you chill on me. alas,..

You say Nikto likes eye contact, I say; imagine him w/ an S/O whose bad with eye contact but they try so hard for him. They try to make direct eye contact with him for at least five minutes a day

He sees their eyes water because they keep forgetting to blink. It doesn't matter if he said they don't need to do it because they'll do it anyway

Nikto: You do not need to do this-

S/O, hasn't blinked in two minutes: There's still three minutes on the clock, lover boy

"anon i love yoh so much for this ohmy fucking god this os great" — what i wrote as a draft and kept in my wips for 10 days 🤯

You were blinking profusely, whereas Nikto hadn't even once.

Eyes puffy and pink, verging on red with the various capillaries spilling into his sceleras like rivers, his steel blue eyes scrutinised you.

Dilated pupils consumed the blue of his hues, and if it wasn't for how the light reflected off his eyeballs, it would have been easy to mistake the colour of his eyes as a deep, dark, black. Like a bottomless abyss. Or a void.

His eyes never strayed from yours, and he hadn't averted his gaze at any point.

Yours, however, were flickering. You were blinking profusely, willing yourself not to look away, focusing on his left eye, then the right, then the left and the right and the left, sights flitting from side to side, your eyebrows furrowed in concentration. Beads of sweat trailed down the side of your forehead.

Still. Not once did you look away.

It's been 3 minutes now — 3 minutes and 12 seconds exactly, according to the stopwatch on your phone — but it felt like centuries. An eternity.

To give credit where credit was due, Nikto had to praise you for your efforts.

Although he could by no means be able to communicate it directly, he would express his appreciation in another way. By making your life a little bit easier: now.

"Three minutes."

Ears teary from the strain, you hummed in acknowledgement, Adam's apple bobbing up and down as you swallowed awkwardly: "Uh-huh."

"That's enough."

"N-no! I said five minutes, so it's going to be five minutes!"

"Y/N..."

"No," you insisted in a hoarse voice, pleading nonverbally with your eyes, desperate to please him, not simply appease him. "Please."

"There are tears in your eyes."

"My eyes are dry... I need eye drops... but I'm okay! R-really—"

"—Come," he said, pausing the stopwatch at 3:38, already tugging your arm to pull you up. "I'll do it for you. You've done enough."

Finally, you tore your gaze away, ashamed, embarrassed, and feeling like you failed him.

"...I haven't."

"You have," he affirmed gruffly, and he afforded himself a ghost of a smile, since he knew that you'd miss the way that his eyes crinkled with your gaze fixed on the floor. "Last time it was 2:56. It's an improvement."

He rested a large paw on your shoulder, and squeezed gently.

"You should be proud. We are."

Hi! I'm a big fan of your blog! I just this past week got into the gallaghers after stumbling across them on ao3. Every time I think i've found everything, a new surprising factoid comes out of the woodwork. They are so in love its inane and frankly quite worrying. I cannot believe more people dont see it with how obvious they're being.

That being said, I've noticed a thing about one of Liam's tweets and a song lyric he wrote. I cant find the tweet at the moment, but it's the one where someone asks if he loves Noel and Liam responds "yes I love him is that such a crime". I was listening to GGTIA and realized the lyrics "I'd get round to loving you, is that such a crime?" sounded awful familiar...He must have taken that response right from the song lol. Which makes me feel some sort of way. Especially with how awful (glorious) GGTIA is. The whole song is clearly a love song and yet Liam wrote it for Noel. And now Liam references his own song to say yes, he does love Noel.

God, I love them.

omg ahhhh congrats, welcome!! the first "wait.. hold on. wait wtf?? this can't be true.. oh jesus it's getting worse🤯" stage of getting into Them is a powerful powerful drug and tbh it never loses strength. we've been on this grind full-time for a year now (really no time at all in the grand scheme) and every day we're still going "holy shit WAIT WHAT??" about some new insane thing. (also how did you inadvertently stumble upon them on ao3?? what a trip.)

re liam's uhhh Everything. i regret(?) to inform you that ggtia is barely scratching the surface lol. the "crime" stuff in particular goes way deeper than that, ggtia is just one of many references back to a central core of sus shit. noel is a much worse offender in this arena actually. beyond his multiple ""jokes"" in the press about being attracted to/having sex with liam and the legality thereof, his most egregious act was writing this song, a demo nominally called "it's a crime" by fans bc he never actually released or named it, someone just leaked it in 2000. he later rewrote it and it became "let there be love," a trajectory we can all speculate on till the cows come home. he has since denied remembering this song even exists. (if you haven't clocked this yet, he's a pathological recreational liar and also has crazy bad memory issues, so even odds on whether this is true or not.)

also idk if you've dipped into any of liam's solo music or not, but ggtia was Baby's First Steps in terms of writing lovesick songs about one's brother. i can't necessarily recommend liam's music on any basis other than it being kinda catchy and p much all of it being incest anthems, so ymmv on enjoyment factor, but here's a brief playlist of SOME OF his more astonishing entries in the "im madly in love with my brother who hates me" oeuvre. (and then go watch the music video for "one of us," which might be the most excruciatingly raw thing anyone's ever done for an audience of millions, and is crammed beyond capacity with References.) there are a few of noel's songs on this playlist too, the ones i personally think are about liam, but diagnosing noel's music is a completely different exercise than diagnosing liam's. noel's very circumspect and art-first about his music, whereas it's pretty safe to assume most of liam's songs are explicitly about noel. the only one on this playlist with some potential wiggle room is "for what it's worth," which liam once claimed wasn't about noel, however his alternative very vague explanation was that it was possibly about his ex wife. which under the circumstances didn't really make sense. imo he just got a little embarrassed and backpedalled under scrutiny. here is noel acknowledging his awareness that all liam's songs are about him lol.

anyway! liam's a magical boy who believed in himself and never gave up and relentlessly wooed his big brother with mid music for years until that shit finally worked, so let this be a lesson to us all. NEVER have dignity, NEVER say die, ALWAYS kiss your brother on the mouth in public. the universe loves you 💖💖💖

TW: The fandom is borderline getting on my nerves can yall shut up and get along or block each other, whichever works

Hey yall uh why are you guys STILL talking about the thing that happened yesterday? I’m pretty sure the entire thing was fixed in like 5 hours. Stop giving it attention/complaining about it, it’s done.

Anyways I hope everyone involved is alright because that was REALLY annoying to watch. AND ITS STILL BEING TALKED ABOUT. I do admit it was stupid yapping about a weird discord thing but I responded to it with the definition of the term, asked them to stop, AND WOW, WOULD YA BELIEVE IT? THEY CHANGED THE TERM! 🤯 THEY STOPPED! THATS A L L IT TAKES! and guess what? I understood the context and was happy with the term change so I shut up about it.

Was the term weird? Yes! Is it even more weird to continue yapping about it after everything was solved? Yeah! I think so!

I’m not gonna put any tags on this because I don’t want this to ALSO flood the tags because I know it’s annoying to search for actual lotf content and you get hit with this stuff

Yall, I’m 80% sure the people involved were under 16, and people in their teen years don’t think about stuff 100% of the time(I definitely didn’t), even if THEY didn’t make the term come to tumblr, I’m sure it was another <16 year old.

Alright now let’s hold hands like they did in Gravity Falls’ final episode and gallop in the flower fields. If you gotta, you can block whoever you want to, the button exists.

Thank you for coming to my crashout Ted talk, love yall! ❤️

Also unrelated but I love that tiktok has comment images now because I found this gem from it

Day 43 - 15 Days BL Challenge (part 3)

Day 43 - Let’s get delulu, which branded pairing should just get married already? (Note: this is all for fun and giggles, we’re not actually speculating on anyone’s sexuality or relationships.)

Edit: Fair warning, this post got away from me, so here's a tangent about BL pairs first. I won't get offended if you just skip to me talking about BillyBabe.

When it comes to BL pairings I'm very much someone who won't 100% believe that a BL pairing is actually dating as long as there's any financial gain from them pretending to be a couple. (Which is almost all the time for a pairing who's last show was together or that has an upcoming show together or anything vaguely like that)

So as long as there's even the smallest chance that actors are aware of the camera filming or taking pictures of them, then I view their interactions through the lens of fan-service.

This is not to invalidate the love that's between some of these pairings or say that any fan, who does think a pairing is dating, is lying, but since fan-service is a big part of BL, we're always going to have pairings acting it up and I think leaning into the idea that pairings are dating is a slippery slope.

When we decide we think a pairing is dating, we suddenly have a lot more stake in the pairing and it opens up for so many possibilities for people's feelings to get hurt and hurt people are more likely to lash out.

We've already seen it a good handful of times when it comes out that an actor in a pairing is dating someone else or that the actors in the pairing really aren't very close. When that happens fans feel deceived and hurt, get mad and lash out. "Fans" get nasty and start treating the actors and/or their real life partners horribly, because "how could they deceive us like this?"

This could really be applied to anything we believe to be true about an actor. Sexuality, personality, friendships etc. as long as it's something personal to the actor.

And if you're reading this and are thinking "I wouldn't do that!", then I'm sure you're right, I'd like to think this about myself as well, but some fans would and have done exactly that. And it's just hard to know exactly how you'll react until it does happen. Maybe we won't lash out at the actor but we might still turn our back on the actor and help fuel the fire of hurt and anger in the fandom, even if the actor really never did anything wrong, we just assumed.

Bottom line: I'll happily engage in fan-service but as long as a pairing's working together in some way then I'll never be 100% convinced the pairing's actually dating and I think keeping the actors and their personal lives at an arms length is good for both the fans and the actor in the long run.

Anyways, now lets talk about a specific BL pairing because I guess that's what the prompt was actually about...

Billy and Babe!

These two!

I know I already said that I view BL pairings through the lens of fan-service whenever they're in front of a camera but what the fuck are these two doing?! It's like they're doing fan-service on speed!

Making one after the other of really intimate vlogs where they put up a camera and show the fans exactly how close they are. Like some of the things they're sharing in the vlogs are honestly too intimate to share with strangers on the internet if you ask me. Like:

Straight up cuddling in bed in probably just their underwear(?) before getting out of bed in the morning 🤯

Being domestic AF in their hotel room just in robes and underwear (?) 🤯

Whatever it is Billy finds funny about Babe saying that he "Slept so well" 🤯

And finally them being the antitheses to 'two bros chilling in a hot tub, 5 feet away because they're not gay' here 🤯

Apparently their company has come out and said that they don't control any of the things that BillyBabe film in their vlogs and Babe has also recently said he isn't single. Like what the fuck, guys?!

I honestly really hope that this doesn't give any other BL pairings ideas because I don't want this to push the boundaries of what's normal for fan-service. Because this isn't something you just do with your bro and if they aren't actually dating and are instead just playing the part of dating, I think they're taking it too far.

Anyways, I'm mostly just curious to see how this evolve and what happens when they aren't working together anymore.

Maybe they're dating, maybe they're fuck buddies, maybe they're just the best of friends, or maybe they are none of those. Either way, it's none of my business! I just hope they're happy.

The original challenge is here, part two here and part three here.

[trains-of-thoughts-that-lives]

Okay, finally watched the episode after failing to avoid a few spoilers here and there. People are rightfully mad at how the lack thereof for the episode but... I kinda enjoyed the episode because it was stupidly kind of brad Focused also cause we finally get to see how Eddie is with Chris like 😔😔😔.

I'm uhh (uh cause I got spoiled) shocked that Eddie is thinking of moving back to El Paso, but that's just how he is as a person. I was kinda hoping for a road trip kinda thing with Buck, which I think still can happen, cause they are looking at houses right, then Buck just suggest they go to Texas cause hey let's go see the house irl, it would be great, and he's concocting a plan to help get Chris to live back with his dad again. Anyways would love for this to happen. Adding this, he could just go to Texas and have a long talk with him about moving back tho, idk why he hasn't done that yet, but I guess it's only been 3 months soooooooo yeah, 911 timeline is weird.

His face at the end of that scene is like his feeling of abandonment setting in like, his bf of 6 months broke up with him and now his bff is moving back to Texas. How will he prevent that who knows???? 🤯 Adding this here too, he's going to do something diabolical cause he's feeling a lot of feelings maybe more baking but I know for a fact not back to buck 1.0 imo. Idk. I think he moved past that a long time ago, and he's been working on himself a lot. But I do believe he's about to do something diabolical, especially when it comes to people he deeply cares about.

Overall, a confusing episode that could have focused on so many other things, but hey, it is what it is. Now we'll have to wait for 3 months.

New Year Update

Today, I fully finished And They Were Roommates. I just need to sleep on it and reread every chapter before posting, but for sure, it will all be up this month. I was smiling like an idiot while writing the ending, and then I laughed like a maniac, imagining how much you all would hate me if I made the previous chapter the last one. Although, that did spark an idea for another fic, but I’ll share that later.

For now, here’s a tiny teaser of the ending:

And just like that, you weren’t just roommates anymore.

Besides that, I have tons of ideas for longer fics (about ten😅), with eight being planned as a bit shorter. There are four Modern AUs—three about Ace because I'm insane like that🫣, and one with Law. In addition, there’s one about Zoro, one with Sabo, and two with Law. I need to decide which one to focus on right now (there's no way I will be able to put them all out this year).

I also have two hopefully bigger ones in the works: one featuring Ace and a Marine’s daughter, and another with Law and one of his crew members, possibly with OCs instead of a reader insert. I want to fully flesh out these characters, and since these fics will be longer, avoiding descriptions would be much harder. However, these stories will require a lot more time, dedication, and improved writing skills, so it might be a while before they see the light of day. Fingers crossed they eventually will!🤞

Right now, I’m working on a longer one-shot about Roommate Law. Instead of being cute and fluffy, it’s going to be pure angst (the one I mentioned earlier). I’m also planning one for Valentine’s Day with Law and fake-dating during a charity event his hospital is hosting. I had this idea for Ficmas but knew I wouldn’t be able to write it in time, so I’ll tweak a few things and hopefully finish it by February 14th. Honestly, I kind of feel like that story fits better for Valentine’s Day than Christmas anyway.

I also have some one-shots (mostly about Law and Ace, since they’re my favorites, as you can easily tell by looking at my blog🫢) that are more or less done, and many more swirling around in my head.

Most, if not all, of my followers are here for One Piece, as it’s what I’m currently hyperfixating on the most and posting about the most. However, I’m also planning to finally finish and post some content for Genshin Impact as well.

I know it seems like a lot, but I have an awful habit of working on a few things at once. On top of that, I’ve been writing for a while before starting to post, so there are already quite a few works in progress. That’s why I wait to post longer stories until they’re mostly finished—otherwise, the wait for chapters would be endless (or forever, haha).

Maladaptive daydreaming and possibly ADHD is an interesting combo! 🤯

But most importantly, I want to thank everyone who reads what my strange mind has come up with.

Love you all ❤️❤️❤️

You should be watching Pit Babe! - A Brief Review

Saddens me to think how many people are missing out on a great show because they think it’s not worth more than a trash watch, if that.

I mean, realistically, is it the most amazing cinematic work of all time? No, not unless pretty-boy power bottoms with daddy issues are your thing, which in my case they are, so let's talk about Pit Babe!

Note: I've tried to keep the spoilers to a minimum, they're mainly in the tags and links so follow them at your own risk, you've been warned.

Honestly, Pit Babe is a pretty damn good show, especially if you A) pretend the Omegaverse factor doesn’t exist and take the show for what it is and B) you don't mind not knowing what's going on half the time, just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

Overall, Pit Babe has got a good production value, a slightly absurd yet entertaining plot, a great choice of cast with amazing chemistry and pretty decent acting skills amongst the mix of seasoned actors and newbies.

For a totally biased fair and balanced review: There are some details that are left vague instead of being explained in depth or at all (yet), but that’s to be expected when you adapt a novel into a movie or series. It would get boring for the audience if the pace was interrupted to explain all those little details that we’re likely to find out along the way anyways (shout out to those who've watched the latest episode; finally!).

There are also some scenes that feel like they’re not as necessary and some background/plot devices that made a little more sense in the novel but I personally don’t feel like they detract too much from my viewing experience.

Babe (played by Pavel) and Charlie (played by Pooh) as the main leads do a really good job at shouldering a large percentage of screen time. Charlie comes across as happy-go-lucky, a bit clumsy/goofy, entirely fearless and a little naive, which is mostly true, but there's clearly more to him than that. Right from the start Babe is clearly someone guarded, detirmined and skilled at what he does (racing cars and having sex) and he has a very tight cirlce of people he trusts. There's a winning combo right there, quite tsundere/sunshine from the outside but definitely more breath the surface that gets exploded as they go.

Way (played by Nut) is Babe's best friend and racing companion, they've been racing together at Team X-Hunter for years but there's clearly more than friendship on the mind for Way, though the feelings appear to be one sided.

Alan (played by Sailub) is the owner of Team X-Hunter and an all-round cool Uncle (which the whole team call's him (despite barely being in his mid 30's). He's kind but firm, he cares for his team like they’re his family and it does seem as though they’re his only family.

And the rest of the cast consists primarily of:

Team X-Hunter:

Dean (played by Lee); a junior racer with slight douche vibes

North and Sonic (played by Michael and TopTen); everyone’s babies, they’re junior racers and content creators

Jeff (played by Pon); the newest member of the team, he’s a part time mechanic and full time conspicuous

Pete (played by Ping); the money guy Alan brings on board to sponsor the team

Team Red Racing (the rival team):

Winner (played by Pop); the guy who never seems to win against Babe

Kim (played by Benz); the new racer they hired to beat Babe

Tony (played by S Vorarit); Red Racing's newest benefactor and *shock horror* Babe's former foster father (try saying that ten times fast)

Kenta (played by Garfield); Tony's right hand man

Then, there’s the 🌶🔥🤯

I, personally, enjoy a little spice/heat in my shows. It’s not necessary for every show, of course, but I do think that when it serves a purpose to the story and it’s done well then it can be quite enjoyable and this cast/production team is doing it really well.

As I said, the chemistry between the cast really is amazing (both on and off the screen, if you're interested in that kind of thing) and although the spicy scenes aren’t nearly as abundant as they are in the novel, there are some really good ones. I decided to bite the bullet and binge read the novel over the past couple of weeks, I blame @pharawee’s breakdown posts for those sleepless nights, and it was worth it for me but not necessary for watching the series.

Lastly (as if this post isn't long winded enough as it is) there are a handful of things in this series that we don't see too often in BL's and make it worth watching even more:

It's got race cars, murder attempts, mafia influence and supernatural powers (at least half the characters have one).

There's no evil ex-lover out to get revenge or get back together with one of the mains (thank the BL gods).

It's got a Soft Top/Dominant Bottom dynamic where the title character is both super masc and a pretty princess.

And we can't forget, it is technically an Omegaverse series (or rather, it's Omegaverse-lite) which none of us saw coming!

Anywho, to conclude; yes, you should be watching Pit Babe. No, you don't have to read the novel to understand what's going on because none of us understand what the hell is going on at any given time. Charlie and Babe are fucking around and finding out, the rest of us are just long for the ride, Alan and Jeff are having a whole ass rom-com-drama in the corner, the babies are making their content and having a blast and the others aren't quite on the map yet (or are they? *wink, wink*), but I sure hope they will be soon!

If you made it this far, thank you and are you okay? Do you need to have your brain checked?

[sinimake]

So I was on the bus on my way home from work and since I had 1h to stare into the void I suddenly got an idea and I need to scream about it.

You know that bit in the intros where Kenshi says "Suchin wants me back?!" or something like that (almost launched myself into space ahahhah fck my Johnshi heart).

So anyways. Imagine if you please a setting where Johnshi is (of course, obviously) head over heels, deeply enamorated with each other BUT. Johnny thinks it's not reciprocated (perhaps it's his self-esteem issues? Love me some softly insecure Johnny fight me). Kenshi? What if he knows about, not only how he feels, but also about Johnny's feelings? But he doesn't do anything bc the whole thing about fighting the Yakuza? Or perhaps they both are unware bc why not. Choose your brand of angst.

And then, *that* conversation with Liu Kang happens. And perhaps Johnny is there. Or perhaps he just happens to hear something accidentally. Sad ensues bc Kenshi has told him of Suchin ("amazing woman, one of a kind") so of course now that he has almost pull free his family from the Yakuza is the best time to rekindle that love.

And perhaps they both go to Japan and meet her (maybe she is actively helping Kenshi against the Yakuza?). And yeah. She is pretty amazing and badass and clearly she and Kenshi care for each other. And Johnny gets angstier and sadder than a wet cat.

But once all it's done you get the cliché scene where Johnny says something like "you must be happy, now that your family is free you can start anew with Suchin". But surprise surprise, Kenshi finally gets what's going on (or he just pulls his head out of his ass or whatever flavour of angst you chose) and explains that while he does care about Suchin a lot, those feelings belong to the past and he has someone else holding his heart (or some poetic stuff idk).

So. Bottom of the line. Is this me screaming at the idea of seeing Johnny's insecurities being developed and let him almost drown on a swamp of self-deprecation while Kenshi is so deeply enamorated and quietly caring about him? Possibly yes. Most definitely so. Sorry it got so long 😶‍🌫️

Yoowww, a question: do you read my mind? Bc i was thinking exactly the same. We think so much alike 🤯

I was thinking back on intro dailogues of Johnny and Kenshi where NRS tried to deny the homo allegations with them mentioning Suchin and persumed Sonya. I was thinking that exact line of "Suchin wants me back?" and i was like 👀.

I really love Assumed Unrequited Feelings and i love your idea ♥️♥️ amazing angst potential ♥️ and love triangle??? Hello?? Delicious 😋

Saturday Anime Line Up

My internet was being such a dick today that my anime watching was so all over the place. It's like 10/2200 where I am and i still have four more anime left to watch before I can post!😫

Okay calm down First World Problems. Anyway, today actually had some really good episodes when i could watch them so I can count that to be a positive!😁

Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de

How can an anime go from making me groan from over done bad jokes to making my cry and need to grab multiple tissues? Ugh, its bad enough that I can't figure out the mysteries even though the clues are really there, I sucked at Encyclopedia Brown mysteries as a kid too, but for the real culprit to be a complete piece of shit that was only thinking of himself? This is almost as mind blowing as me realizing Kaji Yuki-san is the voice of Kagayama which is practically unrecognizable since it is pitched so low!🤯

Anne Shirley

When I was in high school I had a crush on this boy and he liked black hair. I always had dark brown almost black but I hated it and kept dying it shades of red for years. He was always looking at girls with black hair so I went to dye mine black and it was a huge mistake so I really felt for Anne. The dye was like tar and it ruined my hair for a long time. That guy ended up being an abusive jerk too that I had to get away from in the end. We all make mistakes in our youth. I guess that is the moral from both me and the anime.😅

Katainaka no Ossan, Kensei ni Naru

I felt for Beryl in this one. That pain of seeing someone as a child in your eyes that has been hurt or abused and feeling helpless when you didn't cause the situation but now they don't trust anyone so they push you away. It's heartbreaking to go through but i am glad that in the end Mewi decided to at least give him a chance.😥

Kowloon Generic Romance

Wow. That was a lot to unpack. First poor Gwen. Miyuki is clearly being controlled by his dad. They had one night and then bam luggage. Now he's in Kowloon...or what we know as Kowloon. Yamae seems to be another anomaly and now that Reiko wants to leave Kudo-san lost it for a second. We are finally getting more piece to this puzzle and as to what that thing is in the sky too. Curiouser and curiouser as Alice said.🤔

Kuroshitsuji: Midori no Majo-hen

Wow, that was closest Ciel ever got other than the end of S1 to be one with Sebastian. He said 90% but we know...😏

Anyway...Ciel is back and in Hakushaku form so this village has another thing coming if they think they will be chasing out the Phantomhive household. Oh and Ciel was cute asking everyone to forget he was acting his age for the last few episodes. Like we would.😉

A-Rank Party wo Ridatsu shita Ore wa, Moto Oshiego-tachi to Meikyuu Shinbu wo Mezasu

Looks like the arc ended and now we get some comfy slice of life for a bit. I know we are going into the next dungeon with the prince but I'm not sure if that will be a full arc or not. Either way, I like the chill time before the next big adventure starts.😁

Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi

I ended up eating late so I naturally put this one off till I did and man was I smart to! Even though it seemed pretty tame of food for most of the episode all that seafood and the barbeque on the beach? I was drooling! Imagine if those oysters were clams though! Ugh, raw clams are my fav but I stay away from them now cause with the warming of the oceans you can get really sick now sadly.😩

Man that took forever to finish. Damn wifi. It took so long that some of my anime from Sunday already came out in Japan!😕

[workersolidarity]

Anti-Communism is something bred into Americans from the time we are children. We are taught how anything related to Stalin is automatically bad and anything involving the Soviet Union is inherently secretive and authoritarian.

This bias is so deeply ingrained, that, having finally after years of Marxist and Geopolitical study, I've finally reached a point where those little anti-Communist tropes and sound bites inserted into our political conversations catch my attention automatically.

Now this took a really long time to reach. Anti-Communism is so deeply ingrained in our society, so embedded in our information space, and this completely by design, that we don't notice it in our everyday lives. We're not meant to. We're meant to internalize these stereotypes until it affects every aspect of our political thinking.

And I'll give you an example of how even the most obscure media consumption can result in our exposure to anti-Communist propaganda.

So I'm watching one of these obscure science channels on YouTube, being interested in the science behind nuclear criticality. So in the first video, which is about a famous incident in which a Russian scientist was exposed to a particle beam in an accelerator that resulted in serious injury but he survived. And at the end of the video, they start talking about how he really suffered under that awful Soviet Bureaucracy when he was denied his free government healthcare in 1997. 🙄

I seriously face palmed on that one.

But then I'm watching an entirely different science video on an entirely different nuclear accident. This one the only fatal Nuclear reactor accident in American history.

So I get to the end of this video, they've done a great job at really helping you understand the science behind what triggered the accident, and I'm really satisfied with the video, and then, right at the end they throw this little tidbit of information out as though it too were a statement of fact:

[Speaking factually about the fatal design flaw responsible for the US accident in 1961 that was also present in the design of the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986]

"When we don't learn from history (deeply accusing stare at the Soviets) it tends to repeat itself"

Ugh!!!!!!!

🤯

Okay, so basically he has to throw in the insinuation that somehow the Communists are even more deeply responsible for Chernobyl than the Americans were for SL-1, the destroyed US nuclear reactor from 1961.

Now on its face, most people aren't going to think twice about such a statement. It is meant to evoke a response inside you of "ugh those Communists were just terrible to see our mistakes and repeat them anyway!" without ever giving any kind of critical nudge at the thought whatsoever. After all, we Americans all know how evil and awful Communists, and especially Russian Communists were.

And that's supposed to be the end of that. Two science videos, both ending with throw away lines of anti-Communist propaganda, both meant to leave me feeling superior as an American and especially an American Capitalist!

But the reality exposes the absurdity of American anti-Communist propaganda!

How would the Soviets have known about the US design flaw years earlier?

Am I just mistaken and it was common practice from the 1960's to the 1980's to share our nuclear trade secrets with our greatest adversary??? To share nuclear designs with the great evil empire the USSR at the height of the Cold War?

Please. How the fuck could the Soviets have known the details of the SL-1 design flaws?

But that's not even really the point, because in the end, it does not matter how ridiculous or absurd or counter factual US propaganda becomes because the public is just so deeply propagandized, so well trained, and so peppered with this kind of subliminal propaganda all day every day.

And it truly took years for me, not just to be able to recognize propaganda anyone can do that, but to really begin to understand the depth and nature of which we are being saturated in this constant stream of pro-Imperialist, pro-Capitalist, often conflicting narratives that are intended to make us accept without ever critically analyzing what "approved" sources tell us.

I cannot stress enough the importance and personal responsibility of every worker to educate yourself on the nature of advertising and propaganda and their relationship to Capitalism and Imperialism.

It is so important that we understand how Wall Street, the Big Banks, Big Investors and Big Corporate bosses, how they use the tools of the media and internet to control and maintain the information available to us and how they use that control to maintain the myths of Capitalism, Neoliberalism and an Imperialist Foreign Policy, as well as maintain the myths of "authoritarianism " and "human rights violations" maintained around US Adversaries like the Soviet Union and now Russia, Iran, Cuba, DPRK, Vietnam, China and on and on and on.

at any given time i am thinking of your ex-husbands with benefits fic 😍🤯😵‍💫

I love how much you love that ficlet!! Thank you so much. :') I wrote a little more of it, just for you!! <3

“I’m retiring,” Max tells him after the Melbourne Grand Prix.

They’re sitting in a bar. It’s one Daniel hasn’t been to before, one that seems to fit this moment. Soft jazz piano in the background, liquor and large round ice cubes in their glasses. It fills him with vertigo, the difference between where they are now and where they were five years ago, ten years ago.

“I’ve heard that one before,” Daniel says. He tries to smile, make it a joke, but it feels too stiff.

“I mean it,” Max insists. “I’ve already told Christian. He wants to be done after this season too.”

Daniel knew that part. Christian told him weeks ago on a phone call that left him baffled for days afterward. Daniel has been retired for five years, and he and Max have been divorced for nearly four. He’s well past needing updates from Christian, either in his capacity as Max’s minder or as Daniel’s ex-boss. 

He’s supposed to be beyond needing updates from Max, too—but here they are.

“Alright. Well.” Daniel wraps both hands around his glass, letting the cold seep into his skin. “Congratulations, I guess?”

He has no idea what he’s supposed to say. He has questions, but he knows better than to ask him. What did Max get out of these last five years? Is he happy about what he sacrificed? Two more championships and another handful of records broken. If Daniel had those things, he’s sure he’d be happy about it, but it’s hard to be the one sitting on the other side of the table.

“You are not happy,” Max says. It isn’t a question.

“Max.” Daniel sighs. He grips his glass harder, imagines it shattering under his palms, slicing his skin. “You want me to be happy?” He pastes on a smile, wide and fake. “Here. Happy.”

Max clenches his jaw, and his anger makes Daniel’s rise in answer, the feeling of it more comforting than it should be. Like a shield. 

“I don’t know what you expected me to do,” Max says. 

Of course he doesn’t. He never listened. Not really. He won’t listen now either, so why even bother? Daniel lifts his glass to his lips instead and drains it, holding Max’s gaze. “Let’s get out of here,” he says as he clunks the crystal back down on the table. When Max frowns at him and starts to shake his head, Daniel stands up anyway. “It’s what you wanted, right? Don’t pretend it’s not.”

Max finishes his drink too, but his expression still says no. He’s about to leave alone, leave Daniel here alone, and—fuck that. Daniel comes around the table and leans over him, one hand on the back of his chair and one on the table, boxing him in. He’s never been great with words, but he lets himself fantasize for a moment about saying something cutting. The feeling fills him up, words crowding his throat, but then it passes. Instead, he says, “I got our usual room.”

It has the desired effect. Max sucks in a sharp breath and tips his head up, but Daniel hovers just out of reach, their lips barely brushing. Their usual room—where Max first told him he loved him and fucked him up for good. They’d just had their first podium together since Daniel came back to the team, and Max’s mouth was sticky sweet with the champagne they hadn’t stopped drinking for hours. Daniel’s checked into that room every year since, even after the divorce. Every inch of it is overlaid with Max’s presence; he spends the whole weekend seeing double.

“I don’t want you to hate me,” Max says against Daniel’s mouth. 

It’s too late for that. Daniel hates him—a terrifying amount, sometimes—but he loves him more. Loves him always. And that’s the part that really sucks. 

“Come on,” Daniel says, and he tugs Max to his feet, wraps an arm around his waist and gathers him in close. People are probably watching, but he stopped giving a fuck about that a long time ago. He kisses Max, and when he pulls away, he can finally say, “I’m happy for you, really,” and make himself mean it. Because if Max isn’t happy, this was all for nothing. Daniel’s been miserable for nothing.
