Heyyyyyyyyy, look I drew more Heart Eclectic Au art

Bro is struggling

[tridentkickflipper123]

You're such a peculiar creature to me (in a good way) and I've asked you so many questions but this has been in my mind (in my WHAT??) for so long sooo I'm sorry if you've stated this before I'm stupid but 💔

Gen question why do you draw soul without the half of his face pitch black? Is there more interesting theories you might share o wise trident

hiii it's alright!!! I don't mind at all :} nobody's asked this before funnily enough, but I do have an answer!

it's a very simple answer in itself but… it just boils down to that being how I prefer to draw him, haha. not really theory or interpretation related or anything. the way I draw Soul is kind of a mish-mash of his several depictions in the live action videos, though the half-silhouette thing is something I personally leave out. there's nothing wrong with it of course, and I've seen some very very cool designs that incorporate it nicely! but it's just not my favorite to draw, haha.

personally, I like when Soul just looks like a normal-ass guy. I feel the… juxtaposition? of his role in the story vs him just looking like a guy you'd see at the store makes it kind of funny.

that being said, I do like to incorporate the half-shadow element in another way! it's the reason why I draw Soul with a slight shadow over his face :} I also like to use it as a sort of 'tell' of what stage of concord/cacophony they're in. the closer to concord they're in, the shadow is lighter; while in the worse stages of cacophony, the shadow is much harsher

I like to make the slight shadow always present though. it makes so he always looks slightly off, even when he's smiling. and I can't easily put into words why, but I just think that's fitting for Soul LOL

so that's my answer :} all in all I just like to draw his design in a different way! (though the half-silhouette thing does rule very hard... big fan). thank you for asking!

... so do most people take "Columbia" to be Columbia University, and not Colombia the country? I always thought Toby meant he was spending time in the Physical location of the country. That's (one of the reasons) why Andy wasn't with him and why Jed didn't ask about the kids, but about where he was. Cause he was away from them in another country.

"Not such a bad place to spend some time.".

With 'place' and 'spend some time' I always thought it was the country, not teaching at a college. Though I might be literally the only person to think that lol

I've definitely seen that assumption reddit before! It never crossed my mind that it might've been Colombia the country, cause on the subtitles I had on the episode (I can't go back and check HBO now cause they removed it from a lot of non US countries) it just said "Columbia", which given that he's from New York made sense to me?

It's never specified what he's doing there; it could, technically just as easily be a month long project and then he's back in DC. But I like the idea that he was there as professor more longterm! Toby seems like someone who would make a great college professor (and one of those teachers some people are terrified of but everyone appreciates having for any given course), and I love that career for him after politics obviously stopped being a feasible option.

I took the "not a bad place to spend some time" as a little nod to the confession and trial that was to come, but again that could easily be an indication that it's not a longterm position at all!

But it is such a shame that the twins aren't mentioned at all in the epilogue; which makes sense given the way Jed and Toby parted, there's still a lot of tension, but I would've loved to know how that family is doing at that point.

Okay so the words he mouthed in that one clip is "One day you're going to die" Which is a lyric to Memento Mori [another ww song]

Which first of all, means that Memento Mori is very likely one of the next songs in the power hour

And second, all the bits referenced in Nerd are fully there! Red being one he did in the past [or what he was doing at that moment with the Cage line] & Green being references to the next two power hours after it

But then like, whats the last power hour???? Cos there's no more lyrics that are referenced I don't think?

yeah the corrupt text is known as Zalgo text, it comes in various degrees of 'corruption', but despite how many people use it it's not actually recommended. it can be really hard to read even at its least corrupted, and they're terrible with screenreaders (either skipping over Zalgo text or reading it out letter for letter). I suppose on AO3 you could try incorporating it into a hovertext thing where hovering reveals normal letters but it's worth keeping in mind.

oh don’t worry, hover text on ao3 was the plan for just that reason! i try to be as screen reader friendly as possible (I'm actually fairly sure all of my fic are as close as you can get), but there’s also something to be said about using visuals in writing that just won’t translate to audio. with all this in mind tho, it will only be one word once, with the lowest level of visual corruption possible, and a hover translation was always the plan! tho I do have to find a tutorial on the kind that work on mobile bc I abhor footnotes

which imaginairy illness do you have?  ༄            your result; storm syndrome.

                you  never  really  knew  how  to  be  yourself,  distancing  yourself  from  your  own  existence  -  standing  outside  of  the  house  even  as  the  storm  closed  in.  you  are  going  through  the  motions  of  everyday  life,  uncaring  except  for  the  toughest  storms.  each  one  feels  like  the  one  -  the  one  that  will  finally  be  too  much  for  you.  somehow  it  isn't  -  it  never  is  (except  the  last  one).  and  as  the  people  around  you  pick  their  lives  back  up  and  move  on,  barely  bothered  by  the  storm,  you  still  carry  it  in  you  -  one  foot  in  your  life  and  one  out  of  it.  and  when  they'll  ask  about  you,  asking  questions  about  your  future,  your  plans,  your  dreams  the  only  honest  answer  would  be  "i  don't  know,  i  never  thought  i'd  make  it  this  far".

Hi!! I love your commentary and intellect so I wanted to ask you a question: what would you say to a man that was like: ‘Y’all love to say 90% of violent crime is perpetuated by men but a) that’s only reported crime and b) that’s because when women perpetuate violence, it’s not seen as violence/not reported.’

(If you don’t mind answering this! I’d have an idea of what to say but I’m not as well-read yet.)

I'd probably start by telling them that the primary victims of violence by women are other women and children, not men, and if they aren't amenable to accepting that point, I'd just disengage from the entire conversation since there's no point yelling at a wall haha.

But like really. I don't condone physical violence regardless of who's enacting it but there's a huge difference between someone my size hitting a man and a man hitting me simply because the average man is 50 pounds heavier than me and stronger because they're male and that absolutely impacts their ability to hurt others! Obviously men aren't biologically wired to be violent but ignoring that point is ludicrous.

(Oh I love you)

13. Who’s the bigger tease? (answer is obviously nsfw)

This is the question that their entire fling tries and fails to answer. They take turns being horrible teases, it never gets truly settled. But they go about it in different ways? I think he likes to rile her up a little during (private) meetings; they'll discuss some policy issue and he is blatantly flirting, blatantly speak in these innuendos, knowing damn well Margaret is right outside and the President is next door and there's nothing she can do about the way he's turning her on. He loves to see that flush; loves to see her lose her cool a little, love to see her lose her train of thought for just a moment. She bites the inside of her lip when she's trying to hide how horny she is and he can tell immediately. He loves leaving a meeting, knowing someone else is coming into the office in a minute, knowing he's leaving her all hot and bothered with nowhere to go with it just yet. (He knows it'll pay off the moment they're alone and not in a crowded west wing.)

While she... less during meetings, less overtly while they're working; she's more aware of the way she's perceived and the way people are kinda waiting for her to fuck up in some way, and she's not inclined to risk as much. He has more leeway that way. But I think she's really good at using that desire not to do too much at work to work him up? A simple compliment, a lingering look, a well-placed insult (love Cliff but I know it turns him on to have a woman in a position of authority call him incompetent), just before a meeting, nothing explicitly sexual, nothing that would make someone else question anything, but he knows, and she knows, and he has to wait the whole damn day to see what will come of it. She likes seeing the little bounce in his step trying to mask what she's doing to him; or even a conveniently placed folder in his lap during a long meeting. It really really does something for her.

But I don't think they'll ever surely settle one way or another who's better at it or who does it more; so much of their dynamic is a form of teasing really.

[shopliftingforjesus]

have come to the conclusion that voting for dems is not only an affront to personal ethics but also horrible praxis that will serve to make things far worse longterm

》 thinking ‘bout bestfriend!ellie (modern au) masterlist

pairing: ellie williams x f!reader word count: 348 summary: your best friend (maybe something more) is ellie williams warnings: little bit of nsfw and a dash of angst (maybe more than a dash.), friends with benefits

MINORS DO NOT INTERACT!

✮ who you forced to get good grades so you both can go to the same college.

✮ her favorite thing is eye contact. she’ll look right into you while she’s between your thighs, all slow and smug, saying, "you’re so loud for someone who swears this isn’t serious." ✮ keeps your hoodie "because it smells like you," but if you ask her about it, she says “shut up” and throws a pillow at your face. ✮ whenever you go on a date with someone else, she’s suddenly cold and weird and doesn’t answer your texts. and when you confront her? "It’s whatever. I don’t care." ✮ you crash at her place so often you have your own drawer. she’ll act annoyed, but she’s folded your shirts and put snacks in there. ✮ has a sketchbook filled with half-finished doodles of you doing random stuff: eating chips, yelling at her, sleeping on her couch. ✮ she calls you :pretty girl" when she’s high or sleepy and immediately acts like it didn’t happen. ✮ will casually rest her hand on your thigh when you’re sitting next to her, like it’s nothing. Like you haven’t been overthinking it for weeks.

✮ she lives to tease. will make you beg for it just to smirk and say, “since when do best friends beg like that?” ✮ will 100% fight someone who makes you cry. doesn’t matter if it was your ex, your mom, or your barista — she's already halfway across the street with her fists up. ✮ you once called her your best friend in front of someone, and she corrected you with "i’m hers, actually." (you never bring it up. you still think about it.) ✮ ellie’s the kind of lover who pretends she’s chill, but gets insanely possessive in bed. whispers "mine" into your skin like a prayer she’ll never say out loud. ✮ afterwards, you lay next to her in silence, the air thick with unsaid things. you brush your fingers against hers. she pulls away — softly, apologetically. "don’t make this harder than it already is."

notes: sorry for the year long disappearance and how short this is. i'll try to write more now, a lot of thoughts are piling through my mind for so many fandoms. i hope you enjoy this small thing while i work on bigger things! i'm doing some summer college courses and it's really taking up my time, but i will try my best!! - cj

32 for the Spotify ask?

8:31 by Greg Gastby, Fleuke, Mitchel Dae

Mitchel Dae was #5 in artists this year! this was my most-listened-to song from him, so it’s weird it’s not a little higher up the list. but this song and genre are part of a playlist i listened to back in february i think, when i played WAY TOO MUCH minecraft, so i definitely associate this song and others from that playlist with endless building lol

What are your favorite Rottmnt headcanons?

Okay these are some headcanons I could remember off the top of my head-

Let's get some popular fanons out of the way - insomniac Leo and medic Leo are two that I like a lot. Medic Leo is interesting to me because I don't think it really works in canon, Leo's entire thing is that he doesn't feel like he has a good "role" to fill in the team, if he actually had the role of medic it would kinda undermine that. But that's what fanmade stories are for, you can explore fun ideas without it affecting canon, so I like it as a headcanon.

Obviously good ol' disaster twins, certified classic. I've talked about this before but I personally view Leo as the older twin, but I also don't think Leo or Donnie would know that so because of that they're constantly fighting over who the oldest one is out of the two of them. But I also like the idea that Leo doesn't really care that much, he mostly keeps calling himself the oldest one because to piss off Donnie because Donnie REFUSES to believe he'd be younger than an immature idiot like Leo. But because of that Leo will call himself the younger twin on occasion if it would benefit him in a certain situation, like if Donnie is mad at him for something and Leo just goes "🥺👉👈please forgive me?🥺👉👈 your baby brother?🥺👉👈" which would also infuriate Donnie LMAO.

I have some headcanons about the brothers' music taste. We already know their canon favorite music genres but I have some extra ideas. For example Raph's favorite genre soul, but I also like the idea of him enjoying blues and lo-fi hip hop and such. Leo's into glamrock specifically, but I also view him as liking a lot of rock music, but mostly 70s-90s rock. Also as an MCR fan I am going to project my love for MCR onto him and you cannot stop me, but also in my defense The Black Parade album is very inspired by for example Pink Floyd and Queen and such which I already imagine Leo would be into so I'm justified in thinking he'd AT LEAST like that specific album. (But he'd also like Danger Days simply because I say so)

When it comes to Casey Jr's origins, I've seen a lot of different ideas in the fandom, either that Casey Sr is his bio mom or that she adopted him. And when CJ is depicted as Casey's bio-kid, I've seen headcanons where either Casey just gave birth to him normally or that CJ is some sorta test-tube-baby-clone or whatever made with the help of either Donnie or Draxum. For a long time I couldn't decide which headcanon I prefered, so because of that I like the idea of it just being a mystery that none but Casey knows the answer to. Like, Casey just had a baby one day that she informed everyone was her kid and no one had any idea where said kid came from. And no one in the resistance really had much time to dwell on it cause they were all too busy fighting the krang. "Casey has a kid now? Okay whatever good for her we don't have time to think about that we're all dying"

Another thing discussed in the fandom, what the heck Baron Draxum's first name? Some people see Baron as his name and some see it as just a title. I already brought this up in another post but I view it as both! His fist name is Baron, and he also has the title of Baron, so he's Baron Baron Draxum. But calling him that is a bit reduntant and silly so he just shortens it down to one singular Baron.

Mikey has the highest spice-tolerance in the family while Donnie has the lowest. Actually I just have a tendency to project my sensory issues with food onto Donnie in general, poor guy lmao sucks to be him.

Mikey is the second physically strongest out of the turtles (after Raph of course)

Donnie is the second most naturally talanted mystic user (after Mikey of course) but because he's trained the least with mystic powers Raph and Leo are both more skilled than him.

Donnie was the first to meet April and kinda tried to gate-keep her by hiding her from his brothers LMAO but they found out about her after like a week

I like to think Donnie is someone that likes to act all villainous for ✨The Aesthetic✨ but really can't handle being intentionally cruel and sadistic. Like he'd act all tough and be like "heh I know seventeen different ways to torture someone for information.... 😈my dark and twisted mind....😈 " but then he gets nauseous from seeing a bit of blood. Like he's all bark no bite.

Another headcanon I've brought up before is the idea that Donnie got REALLY into researching conspiracy theories about Lou Jitsu's mysterious disappearance when he was a kid. And he'd infodump about these theories TO SPLINTER who just had to do his best to keep his poker face through that.

Dunno if ya'll remember that post circling around a little while ago theorising that CJ has a prosthetic hand, but regardless, I've adopted that as a headcanon.

I love love LOVE the idea of Raph and Leo being co-leaders, mostly because I think specifically rottmnt's versions of the A-Team would be the only ones who could actually pull it off LMAO. I think neither of them deal well with having too much responsibility put on them and they overall are able to make up for each other's weaknesses. After the movie I think if they sat down to discuss they'd decide to just split up the leadership role between the two of them and it would actually work.

My headcanon for the turtles' eyecolour is yet another thing I've talked about, but I really like the idea of them having dark brown eyes :]
