Her go-to would be an axe.

Late night thoughts, ocs (gpo, dat girl dynamite and jellfyfishlight) edition

Tw/Suicides, death, and other unfortunate events!!

The ace from prism's dimension would probably bully and troment ace gpo if they ever met.

Ace's mom is now a jack-o-lantern after going to hell (used to be queen of hearts)

Ace cant handle much spice

Ace likes to keep himself well groomed, and spends a lot on hair care products.

Ace often stims when really exited.

Ace actually likes fruitcake

Prism never visits his "parents" because it feels wrong.

Prism hates being called names

Prism genuinely hates himself and has contemplated suicide during his time in Zeeverse

Prism used to have a therapist, but they died mid session from a seizure. Prism now thinks he causes bad luck.

Og prism genuinely thinks Abyss is cute in a conventional way.

Og prism wants to feel loved (don't we all)

Og prism was actually a good person before his death!

Og prism differs from prism in a few major ways

1.) He never burned down his family home

2.) He was praised for his inventiveness as a kid

3.) He never messed around with crime as a kid2

Wicker basket has some really **really** bad intrusive thoughts. Im suprised she hasn't enacted any of them out yet.

Briefcase used to gamble a lot until she lost a horse race bet because the horse she bet on stopped mid track to take a shit.

Rapier is cowardly. (Duh)

Mic still thinks skibidi toilet is funny, despite what it seems.

Mic also tries to visit, but leaves before doing so due to being very nervous about what prism would think of his new form.

Mic helps velle with philosophical questions that mortals ask them

Velle isnt assigned anything to be god of yet.

This is because almost everything that velle wanted to be the god of was taken already.

Velle works in the "Universal Irregularities" department in the otherworld

They were assasinated by someone close to them

Despite what it seems, velle isnt really flirty with mic ,because they think mic wont like it (mic doesn't mind, but forgot to tell them)

Depsite everything, mic is loyal to Velle, not prism anymore.

Mic heard of what happened to og prism and prism because velle explained it to him when he was revived.

Dynamite really has no clue on how to be unironically romantic.

Dynamite oncce asked bat how to be romantic, but thar confused her even more.

How to make GIF's from videos

I consider myself relatively knowledgeable on GIF making, but I am not an expert. This tutorial mainly focuses on making GIF's and sharpening, for a PSD tutorial see here.

A few things to note before starting:

I struggle with sharpening GIF's- Especially real-life GIF's. For some reason I can't quite wrap my head around when/if the GIF's look too sharpened, so the tutorial part on this may seem lackluster.

I only use photopea and ezgif for GIF editing and capcut for cutting videos. I won't be able to answer questions about other software's (ie photoshop).

Tumblr has a GIF size limit of 10MB. It's the bane of my life. Always check how big your GIF is.

And with no other questions let's begin.

How to make a GIF from a video

Find the video and download it (real life)

This is a very obvious step but one that is important. I would always recommend finding videos in good quality. I often use tiktok, free videos from sites (like pixabay) and Instagram.

As for downloading them, I would recommend avoiding '[website] downloader' sites for a few reasons. A) they get shut down and replaced with spam sites frequently, thus making them unsafe to use, and B) they often times make you watch an add or remove ad blocker before giving you the highest quality download option.

I would always use cobalt.tools for video downloading.

Find the video and download it (anime)

This is more complex and I won't detail my download methods publicly. All I can say is not to use the anime watch sites to download your videos from, they're often low quality and have watermarks- Plus a lot of the sites have pop-ups ect which make them unsafe.

If you want a video tutorial I can't link you one from YouTube. This is not a YouTube tutorial. Nope.

Anyway, once you have it you will need to use capcut to shorten the video length (and potentially change the file) however you will need to make an account. Annoying I am aware, but it's the best video cutting software I know of and has caused 0 issues for me.

Not that when I first used captut the video save settings had the video at 720 pixels, however you want 1080 pixels because it makes everything smoother and higher quality. Once you change this setting you don't have to change it again.

Make the GIF

I always use Ezgif for this part. You need to use the video to GIF option and upload your video. Then choose the length of the video you want to turn into a GIF.

You will be met with a screen like this under the video.

Frankly I do not know what all of this means so that's why I only edit the size and frame rate.

With the size, you don't want it too big, smaller gives you more wiggle room for size with tumblrs size limit. However, with anime videos there's often less colors/detail, so they can be bigger and still look good.

The frame rate is important, the higher the frame rate the better quality it is, so regardless of GIF always have it this size

Then you hit convert to GIF and there you go.

If you need to crop the GIF use the crop tool and if there's any points of the video you don't want (ie frames of the next scene) you can use the frames tool (note that imo it's easier to use the photopea timeline for this)

Editing the GIF

You can just leave the GIF as it is, or you can make it sharper and/or add a PSD in photopea.

For stim gifs I will simply direct you to this tutorial because I can't understand the irl GIF sharpening process without photoshop's tools.

However, for anime ones you can use the smart sharpen tool, I either leave it on the default setting, or turn down the radius to 0.1-0.5

You can find the sharpening tool in filters > sharpen > smart sharpen

And here are some comparisons.

I spoke about PSD's here, but here's an example of the GIF with one and sharpened.

Boiling Over

Pairing: Minho/Chan, Minho & Chan

Rating: Gen

Summary: Chan has a nasty habit of throwing his health to the wind, and when his mind finally cracks under the pressure, Minho is there to help him through it.

Word count: 4.1k

Tags under the cut!

Tags: SFW, Age regression, hurt/comfort, stress relief, Chan is overworking himself as usual, Minho has Things To Say about that, angst, little Bang Chan, Caregiver Lee Minho, stim toys, panic attacks, crying, autistic Bang Chan

Also posted on ao3 here.

Notes: This will be part of a series of Chan age regressing because I am contractually obligated to project on Chan whenever I can. This is also for his birthday. No I'm not 2 weeks late shut UP.

Also, this fic isn't explicitly romantic in any sense beyond Chan calling Minho pretty like once, I wrote it with the implication that they like eachother (bc I'm a minchan truther at heart) but you can 1000% read this fic as platonic with no trouble at all.

This is not going well.

Chan forces himself not to slam the studio door behind him, slumping down into his desk chair and shoving his hands into his hair.

His entire morning was spent talking with department executives and marketing managers and other producers, all asking him the same question; when will the next title track be ready.

And Chan has had to tell every single one of them, multiple times, that no it isn't finished and yes he's working on it and no he doesn't need any help.

It's almost finished, is the thing. He has the guide, tentative lyrics, he's even shown it to the other members, but he doesn't like it.

He's been doing this a very long time, he knows what a good song sounds like, knows what he's capable of making, and this is so far from his best he's terrified to show it to anyone.

The other members said they liked it, of course, but Chan knows better than to take their words at face value. He doesn't think they'd lie out of malice, of course, but they can all see the way Chan has been... Strung a little tighter than usual, lately.

He wouldn't put it past them to just say the song is good to not anger him or stress him out further. And he can't even blame them, really— if anyone said anything about the song to him right now, positive or otherwise, he doesn't know what he'll do.

Break something, probably. Or cry.

He wants to do both right now, but he shoves the urges away and opens up the editing software. He grabs his headphones a bit too hard and knocks over their stand, and he just watches it clatter to the floor, loudly.

He leaves it there.

Maybe kicks it a little, just for good measure.

It's probably not good to let this anger simmer underneath the surface like this, especially if one of the others comes to check on him, but he doesn't have time to go blow off steam in the gym.

Instead, he puts his headphones on and opens the file, shoving his anger into a box to be dealt with later.

· · ────────── ·𖥸· ────────── · ·

Chan's anger never lingers, at least not when it's because of stress.

By that night, nearing 2 in the morning, all of his anger has fizzled out into bone-deep exhaustion.

His ears ache under the headphones, but he left his earbuds in the dorms so he ignores the pain. Similarly, something in his back keeps sending sharp pains throughout his body every time he shifts wrong, and it's unpleasant, but it fades after a moment so he doesn't bother worrying about it.

He's listening to a new version of the track when he feels the anger starting to bubble up again, except it's decided to show itself in tears this time rather than violence.

He will not cry over a song, he won't.

But it's horrible. It feels like every change he makes somehow makes the song worse, even the tricks he's relied on in the past. He's searched for inspiration, looked at old songs, even rewritten entire sections but it's still wrong.

He claws the headphones off and presses his hands into his eyes until bright colors flash behind them, forcing the tears back. The burn of it forces his brain to reconnect with his body, and he realizes that he hurts all over.

How long has he been sitting here?

Shakily, he reaches for his phone.

There's a few messages in the group chat, an email from the project designer that he swiftly ignores, and 3 missed calls from Minho.

Fuck.

He's trying to calculate the math of how long he's been in here and how he missed his ringtone 3 times in a row when someone knocks on the door.

Chan considers not answering, pretending the room is empty. He can't let anyone else see him in this state, he cant. tears are clinging to his lashes, he's in pain, and he doesn't even remember the last time he slept.

There's a moment when he thinks it will work, if he stays very still, but then the door clicks open.

Minho pushes into the room, placing his key card neatly back into his bag.

He looks like he just got out of the shower, hair still damp and fluffy, cheeks still a bit flushed from the heat. He's pretty, because Minho always is, and Chan almost says so before he gets a hold of himself.

"Minho!" He says, instead, running hands through his hair both to tame the rat's nest it must be and to hide how wet his eyes are.

Fuck, his back hurts. When did just moving his arms over his head start to hurt this badly?

"Chan. It's like 2 in the morning, why are you still working?"

Minho has that disapproving look in his eyes, dark and unquestionable. He must be here to drag Chan back to the dorms, but he can't go back yet, not with the song like this.

"Oh, you know how it is. I, uh, got in the zone, I guess."

Minho shoots him an unimpressed look and reaches into his bag, pulling out a bottle of water.

He must have grabbed it from the breakroom downstairs, and the tiniest sliver of affection breaks through the panic buzzing through his veins.

He doesn't wait for Chan to take the bottle, just uncaps it and forces it into his hand. Chan knows better than to fight when Minho gets like this, so he drinks.

And... Fuck.

The water feels like heaven in his mouth, cool and refreshing and perfect. His head relents in its pounding, and he slumps down into the chair.

Minho passes him another bottle and takes the empty one, and Chan doesn't have to look at him to see his disapproving look.

"How long have you been working in here?" Minho asks, picking up his headphone stand from across the room. Huh, he'd almost forgotten about that.

"Couple hours," He lies, trying and failing to figure out the real answer. For some reason he can't wrap his brain around the numbers, the passage of time — he isn't sure when he even got here, just that it was daytime... Maybe morning? Noon?

"Bullshit. None of us have even seen you today, and you missed dinner. What's going on?"

Chan ducks under the anger in Minho's voice, trying to hide the tremor in his hands.

"Nothing's going on," He tries, "I promise I'm fine. I grabbed something from downstairs a little while ago." It's a flimsy lie, and he knows it doesn't land the moment he finishes speaking.

Minho just clicks his tongue and walks over to the trashcan in the corner, perfectly empty. The studio is immaculate, no trace of a wrapper or package.

Minho is silent for a long moment, only speaking when Chan starts to squirm, practically burning alive with the awkwardness and disapproval. He doesn't know why it's bothering him so much, but Minho looks upset, upset with Chan, and it almost hurts worse than his back.

"I thought we agreed not to lie to eachother, Chan." Minho finally says, and there's a hint of pain, there, under the anger.

Chan honest to God whines, trying to curl in on himself and stopping with a wince. He doesn't want to lie, especially not to Minho. He doesn't want to be a disappointment, doesn't want to be bad.

Minho doesn't like being lied to, he hates it, they've had so many arguments over little white lies that Chan or the others didn't think we're important but hurt Minho deeply. Chan knows Minho hates being lied to, but here he is doing it, without a second thought.

He's horrible.

"M' sorry," He mumbles, twisting his fingers into his jeans. He's being bad, and Minho is disappointed in him, and he has every right to be.

Part of Chan is screaming to correct the issue, but a far stronger part wants to sit in this discomfort, squirm under Minho's pained and angry gaze. He deserves it, Chan thinks. It's a fitting enough punishment, this gnawing ache in his chest that begs for praise forced to receive the opposite.

It hurts, but Chan deserves it for being bad, for hurting Minho.

... Wait.

Chan blinks, vision refocusing on a spot on the wall. Being bad?

No. No no no no no-

"I'm really okay," He says, a little bit frantic, heart rate picking up, because this cannot be happening.

The only reason he'd be thinking like that, thinking he deserves punishment or that he was being bad is if he was slipping, and that cannot happen with Minho in here.

"I'll be back home in an hour, okay?" He says, spinning in the chair so he doesn't have to look at Minho. Something about him being here is making Chan slip, hard, And maybe looking away would solve the issue. He just has to get Minho to leave, then he can handle this on his own and everything will be fine.

"No, you've been here long enough. I'm taking you home."

No.

"Min, I'm not-"

Minho just holds up a hand, pulling Chan's chair away from the desk and back to face him.

"This isn't a discussion. I won't let you weasel your way out of it, either— you've been in here for at least nine hours, that's enough. You need food and sleep."

"I'm fine. I'll grab something from downstairs, alright? But I really need to get this finished."

Minho doesn't answer— he just reaches over the desk to save the file. Chan doesn't realize what he's doing until his hand shifts to the power button, clicking off his laptop.

"Minho!" Chan snaps, trying to swat his hands away, but Minho just closes the laptop and shoves it into his bag, zipping it up tight.

"Are you seriously— Minho, give that back!"

Minho ignores him, grasping his arm and pulling. Chan stumbles out of the chair, and any other day it would be perfectly fine, but his back immediately protests at the movement.

He collapses down to his knees, trying to breathe through the pain and keep himself from crying. He will not cry in front of Minho, he won't.

"Chan? Hey, what's wrong?" Minho is crouched in front of him, anger entirely forgotten in favor of worry.

And Chan tries, he really does, but his back hurts and he knows he's already crying, and he can feel his grip on everything sensible slipping away.

"Leave," He begs, even though he knows it's futile. Minho won't leave him like this because he's a good friend, and he cares, and right now that care is going to burn Chan alive.

"I'm not going anywhere, Chan. I'm right here. You're safe, I've got you."

Chan whines against his will, listing forward, further into Minho's arms. He takes him easily, sitting completely on the floor to pull Chan into his lap. And Chan goes, because Minho feels so much bigger than him right now. He doesn't stand a chance at resisting, and he wants to sit in Minho's lap, wants to cry into his shoulder and know that the world won't end once he's done.

"Min..." He mumbles, wet and pathetic and sad, and Minho makes a noise like a wounded animal.

"Come here, Chan." He urges, even as Chan tucks his head into Minho's neck.

He puts a hand on Chan's neck, gently playing with the hair curling there, and the other slips underneath his shirt to rub massaging circles into the small of his back.

Chan doesn't even stand a chance— he drops so hard and so fast that he has to blink his vision back into focus.

His eyes slip right back closed, though, because Minho is still massaging him, both his neck and back, steadily loosening the knots and aches there.

It's good, it's blissful, and Chan lets his mind go entirely blank.

· · ────────── ·𖥸· ────────── · ·

The thing with Chan is that he never knows when to quit.

Well, that's not quite true. Most of the time, he's perfectly happy to quit, when necessary; scrapping a song or going back to the foundations of a dance, but sometimes, like now, he gets so caught up in finishing something that he can't even fathom the idea of stopping.

Minho knew Chan was spiraling, he’s known since this morning when Chan refused breakfast and left the dorms in a hurry for a meeting. He knew when he didn’t respond in the group chat, he knew when Chan missed three of his calls in a row.

Guilt settles deep in Minho's stomach as he holds Chan, shuddering and shaking and hurting. He talked himself out of dragging Chan back for dinner because he thought he was worrying too much, but now he cant help but think that he didn’t worry enough. There are headphone marks around his ears, for god's sake.

“You’re okay, I’ve got you. Just relax, Chan, I’ve got you.” And god, Minho didn’t think it was possible to feel fondness and fear at the same time, but here he is. Chan nuzzles further into his neck, trembling all over, and Minho has absolutely no idea what to do. Chan rarely cries in front of them, and even if he does the very last thing he wants is to be comforted.

It makes Minho’s chest hurt, sometimes, how insanely solitary Chan gets when he’s upset, but this is almost worse. He’s so far gone that Chan cant help but cling to him. Minho blinks tears back.

“Let’s get you to the couch, yeah? Come on, Channie, it’ll be more comfy there.” Chan whines, unwilling to move, so Minho does something a bit stupid.

He shifts Chan just enough that he can loop his arm underneath his legs, settling the other around his back.

Chan is heavy, but not too heavy for Minho to carry a few feet. He settles them back onto the couch, lying down so Chan can stretch his back a bit. The new position seems to switch something in Chan, and his sobs quiet, somewhat. He slips one of his arms up to cup Minho’s neck, like he’s… Oh. Like he’s feeling his heartbeat. His ear is pressed right over his heart, as well.

God, Minho is going to explode from all of this sympathy one day.

“That’s it,” He soothes, “I'm here. Feel my heartbeat? Try and breathe with me, okay? Can you do that for me?” The words come easy — Years of helping the other members through panic and anxiety attacks make things like this nearly second nature. In any other scenario Minho might feel awkward about speaking to Chan like this — not condescending, exactly, but something akin to it — but right now, anything else feels like a cardinal sin. Chan needs softness, right now; he needs a gentle voice to guide him, to remind him that its okay for him to relax.

It takes him a while, maybe 10 minutes, to completely match Minho’s breathing, but he’s so determined that it's almost cute. His voice hiccups every now and then and Minho can see the frustration on his face, but he just tries again with the same determination.

Minho is besotted. He knows it, and he doesn't really try to hide the love in his eyes as he looks down at Chan, whispering sweet encouragements into his ear as his breathing steadily evens out.

“Good job, Chan,” he whispers, when the last of the tension drains out of his shoulders. Chan hums and shifts to look up at him, eyes wide and glossy and vulnerable, and Minho forgets how to breathe.

“I was good?” He whispers, voice rough from crying but still somehow higher than normal, so sweet that Minho has to take a long, deep breath before he can respond. “So good. Look, you’re breathing smooth again, right?”

Chan nods, settling his head back against Minho’s chest, and Minho almost feels bad for being relieved, but Christ. That look, his eyes, so trusting and soft and loving, its—

It’s a lot.

It’s good.

“Breathing with Hyung,” Chan says, sweet, almost sing-song, and Minho…

Hm.

Minho starts to pet Chan's hair again, smiling when he melts against his chest, and takes advantage of it to think.

Minho knows a lot of things. He’s researched a lot of things, either for Jisung or Felix or Jeongin, ways to deal with stress or handle panic attacks or sensory overloads, anything he might need to make sure he knew what to do if one of the members needed him.

This… Minho thinks he knows what this is.

It would make sense, really. Chan joined the company at 13, barely a teenager and still very much a child, put into a stress-filled environment in a new country alone. It would make perfect sense for Chan to cope with that stress by regressing into a younger age, where he wouldn't have to think about training or producing.

That guilt pokes at him again — Chan has been stressing over this song for ages, and Minho knew, but he thought Chan could handle it, or at least that Chan would ask Jisung or Changbin for help.

None of that mattered now, though. Now Chan needs him, and they can talk about asking for help later.

“Hyung?”

Minho has to bite his lip to keep from cooing at how cute Chan sounds, schooling his expression into something calm and attentive.

"Yeah, baby?"

Chan takes a moment to preen at the nickname, but takes a deep breath and sobers. Minho can't help but frown— the serious expression, while familiar, doesn't seem to suit Chan, right now.

"I'm sorry for lying. 'was mean. I know you don' like it, but I was scared. Sorry."

Minho's heart breaks.

A million microscopic pieces, each and every one sucked into Chan's eyes, big and just the slightest bit teary.

"Oh, Darling. It's okay, I understand. It's okay to be scared." He bites his lip before continuing, but... well. It did hurt, and Minho would only feel worse about it if he didn't even express it.

"But, baby, in the future, you can just tell me what's wrong. I promise, I won't judge or be angry with you for telling the truth, okay?"

Chan nods, crawling up slightly to tuck his head underneath Minho's chin.

"I will, promise."

Minho can't help himself, he presses a soft kiss against Chan's hair. "Thank you for apologizing, baby. You're very sweet."

Chan is silent for a moment, and then—

"Chan?" Minho yelps, gasping a little, because Chan is... sucking on his collarbone?

He jerks back, already babbling out apologies, but Minho pets his cheek to soothe him. "It's okay, it's okay, I was just startled, baby, that's all."

Chan quiets, staring down at his hands in his lap, and there's something in his eyes, a hint of awareness, and... well. Maybe it's a bit selfish, but Minho doesn't want Chan to come out of this headspace just yet. He seems relaxed, less worn down by racing thoughts, more willing to be honest and ask for what he needs.

And Minho wants to provide. He wants to keep helping Chan like this, and maybe it does make him selfish, but Chan needs this, and Minho won't deny him.

"Here, can you hop off of me for a moment, little one?" The nickname does the trick— Chan whines a little and backs up so Minho can move, leaning against the couch like he can't sit up on his own. It's adorable, and Minho moves quickly so he can hold Chan again.

He brought his bag up here because he suspected that Chan would need some things— water, earbuds, painkillers— but there's also a little pocket full of stuff for Seungmin. Noise-canceling headphones, a few stim toys, and what Minho's after now, chewable toys.

Headphones are probably a bad idea now so he leaves those, but he takes out everything else and spreads them out in his hands.

The chewable toys are brand new— they're in the bag for emergencies, but Seungmin is just as overly prepared as he is so they're hardly ever needed — so he opens one of the bags and offers it to Chan.

"You can bite and suck on this for now, okay?"

Chan takes it tenderly, looking awestruck. "But... this is yours?"

Minho puts the other toys on the side table and sits beside him again, suppressing a smile when Chan immediately burrows back into his side.

"They're for whoever needs them, and I think you need them right now. I can... get you something else later, once we've talked about it, but if you just want something to do with your mouth, that should help."

Minho adds a few more things to his list of Things To Talk to Chan About When He's Big Again. Pacifiers, maybe, and Minho specifically caring for him, definitely.

Chan eyes the toy warily for a moment, like he doesn't believe that he can actually have it, but eventually he bites down on it.

His eyes light up.

He doesn't really chew it so much as he sucks on it, but his eyes droop a little and his shoulders slump.

Maybe Minho doesn't entirely suck at this, at least.

"There we go. Is that better?"

Chan nods, eyes slipping fully closed.

"Good. Come on, I'll put on some music, how about that?"

Chan perks up at that, slipping the toy out of his mouth to babble, "Can you sing? Please, Hyung? I'll be good!"

Minho blinks, "You don't have to be good." It comes out without his permission, but he doesn't backtrack. "I don't want you to worry about being good or not disobeying. You're perfect, Chan."

Chan stares at him for a beat, and then he breaks. He whines, high in the back of his throat, and tears flood over his cheeks in waves.

"Whoa, baby, baby, it's okay," Minho is on him in an instant, pulling Chan into his arms and rocking them like he did before.

"M' not, not perfect, not-" He cuts himself off with a painful-sounding hiccup, and Minho's heart aches.

"Shh, little one, it's okay." He says, growing frantic, because it isn't working. Chan is trembling, and instead of hugging Minho back he's covering his face, sobbing into his hands instead of Minho's chest. This is different, this is new, and Minho needs a different approach.

So. He sings.

It starts out shaky, because he's on the verge of tears himself and hasn't sung at all today, but he settles into it easily.

It's a song Chan wrote for him months ago, unreleased because he hasn't had the time to record it. It's short, unfinished, and Minho prays that it'll work.

He's on the second chorus before he notices any change, and it feels like the first sip of water in a desert. Chan shudders, cries quieting, finally tucking his head into Minho's neck.

He tightens his grip, remembering that Chan liked tight hugs, and he breathes.

He sings through the end of the song and Chan finally stops sobbing, just tiny little whimpers against Minho's chest, and he leans them back against the couch.

"I've got you," He murmurs, thinking of the first lines to Chan's favorite song, "I've got you, baby."

· · ────────── ·𖥸· ────────── · ·

Chan wakes up a few hours later, cheeks itchy with dried tears and more relaxed than he's felt in years.

He's... hm. He's lying on Minho's chest.

Minho is asleep, long eyelashes fluttering as his eyelids shift, and Chan can't help but settle back against his chest.

Minho hums, readjusting his hand to hold Chan a little more securely.

"Go back to sleep, little one," He murmurs, voice thick with sleep and fondness.

Jesus. He hasn't slipped up like that in front of someone since he was a trainee.

Chan flushes pink, hazy memories flooding back. He remembers crying, a lot, calling Minho hyung...

Chan can feel mortification creeping up on him, but Minho must notice that he isn't relaxing, because he tightens his grip. One of his hands comes up to hold the back of Chan's head, guiding his ear over Minho's chest.

The steady thump-thump thump-thump of Minho's heartbeat makes Chan melt, against all his better wishes.

"...thank you, hyung."

stimming by constantly screenshotting my view when i see something awesome

passing the time by doodling in the air n you can see my eyes darting around from where i put the pen in my image editing software

making sillier faces than are normally humanly possible to make someone laugh

singing along to a song even though it's already playing through me just because it's fun

Intro/pinned post!!!

last updated (mm/dd/yy): 5/15/25

Did you find me via a Sonic-related post? You should go to @speedysoda for that stuff now!

Want to read my DNI/blog rules? Go here!

Current blog status: tired and just. Trying right now, bear with me.

First of all, here’s my pronouns page for those who want to know more about my exact pronouns/word boundaries! (Semi outdated take with a grain of salt)

Call me (🥤) Soda/Wally/Rivet, I’m the host of a fictive-heavy plural collective. Uses I/me and we/us interchangeably. We do not owe you any information about us.

🥤💫💙⭕️❤️‍🩹📀🛠📍💟🖌💽🍥🌸⚠️♌️🛑🔵🌒 〽️ ✖️🌀 ⚕️ 💾

Here’s my sona!

Their full ref can be found here

Below is more information about my art, the blog, and other things. There are also a lot of userboxes (and blinkies, so flashing gif warning be cautious) that represent me! The post is pretty long though, so bear that in mind.

Art usage rights: My art is fine to be reposted, but strictly with credit. Want to use it as an icon? Make it an edit or add something small for pfp purposes? You’re welcome to, as long as you’re not in my dni/use it for such purposes. Do not feed my artwork into ai software. Also do not directly feed my writing or own general text into an ai.

Requests?: Requests for art are a complicated thing and are simply a matter of what I do and do not want to do. Feel free to ask, but just know I may decline! This goes for moodboards and stimboards as well, but I’m much more likely to accept a mood/stimboard rather than art request!

AU/personal projects!: I have a handful of personal AU’s and projects and OC’s I’d like for people to check out and look at. (Also please please please ask about my characters and ask them stuff I wanna answer!) You are welcome to make fanart for any of them. People in my dni are not permitted to depict my characters in any way, shape, or form. Don’t touch my babies. Also- No, you may not use my characters in tournaments or polls. Please keep your popularity games away from my babies. (Fair warning: we are very bad about updating this it’s very outdated)

Please @ me in fan/inspired content! I want to see it!

[editor-flower-shop]

and sorry if its been answered before, but do you have tips on how to edit stim boards? im not sure what programs to use (or how) to adjust things like colors or cropping :,)

hi anon!! a really popular software right now is photopea.com, it's essentially photoshop that runs in your browser ^^ you can use it to crop images and gifs as well as apply filters (better known as psds) to adjust coloring! you can make your own psds if you like, but you can also find them from psd blogs online and tweak the settings if the rules allow it ^^ it's definitely worth playing around with, though it takes some time to get used to ^^; (if you're like me and hate the cropping tool, ezgif.com works wonders!)

HI I’M SLOWLY CRAWLING OUT OF MY SLUMP HERE’S SOME ART

some simple biology this time! Cybertronians are mechanical, of course, and this means the potential ability to connect to nonliving machinery for digital manipulation/interaction/exchange of some sort. that’s a form of interfacing called object interface, and it’s done through datacables! not everyone has these inbuilt from forging, but there are prosthetic datacables and potential surgical addition of artificial datacables for those who don’t have them but need them.

datacables are different from the hardlines every mech has as part of their spark chamber. they’re more versatile but have a more limited, processor-centric connection, as opposed to the fullbody nervous circuitry connection that hardlines have. datacables also come in different placements, numbers, and sizes according to an individual’s unique specs. it’s important to note that plugging in a datacable does not allow total access to someone’s mind, as even sparklings have firewalls protecting their processor. digital viral infection is a concern, but not easy or often dangerous if the right precautions are taken. using a datacable is a deliberate choice, too, so an individual has control over what and how much data they send/receive through a connection. additionally, most nonliving machines have to be specifically built to allow for object interface in both hardware and software, else the connection is nonsensical or even painful. while two mecha can object interface with one another, it takes a lot of cooperation and practice to do anything more than dump a few files at the other person, and even then there is little to nothing someone can do to influence another person’s processor through datacables. no epic psychic hacking battles in everyday life here, sorry! (that being said, this is the closest SNAP currently has to mnemosurgery, and there are absolutely some shady folks with no medical ethics looking to abuse what datacables can do for greater power over processors. i only said that mnemosurgery doesn’t exist here, not that it’s impossible...)

Shockwave has two datacables, emerging from within each shoulder joint, and uses them regularly for his sciencing. since he specializes in robotics and artificial intelligence, a lot of his programming is done directly through object interface. in the image, he’s using a holographic projector to visualize his thoughts straight to a graph, and play around with and edit the data that way instead of manually writing it down.

Transmutate has four datacable locs. she’s very particular about what she’s willing to object interface with and how, because of how her sensitivity can easily turn the entire experience into an unpleasant meltdown. she does however stimm with them a lot by twirling and tugging them! (stim? stimm? idk how it’s properly spelt, i just like stimm best.) (also Maccadam has locs too, but those are part of his thermoregulation and exhaust systems, not datacables!)

and then there’s the supernatural ones. obviously the most notable folks with datacables would be Soundwave and his minicons (Rumble and Frenzy have datacables too, as a matter of fact). these cables are unlike any other, as they double as treads and can subdivide down to individual wires, extending and regrowing as needed, with incredible fine dexterity. Jaguar here is perfectly capable of weaving his tail datacables into a computer without harming it, but this machine in particular he’s stripping of all information and destroying beyond repair. perhaps something belonging to Senator Ratbat... (also! due to the nature of Soundwave’s powers gifted to the minicons, everything the minicons see/hear/hack into, Soundwave does also. their senses are slaved to his, which makes him a truly terrifying force of reconaissance.) other heroes have datacables too, like the Mistress of Flame, Scourge, Elita 4, and Drift. Airachnid has discovered some tightly wound lengths of her web cabling can act as a datacable for her. and then there’s the Magnificence, covered in nodules where datacables pop out, constantly seeking to plug in to a new source of knowledge

not a request, but hi ive been wanting to create a stim blog for a while now and this blog is one of my biggest inspirations! im finally doing it!

i have a question though, im having trouble posting multiple gifs and i keep getting an error from tumblr. it wont allow me to post certain gifs and it gets frustrating. do you have the same problem too? if so, how do you deal with it? :0

hey!! ooh that’s so cool!! i’m so happy you’re starting a stim blog!! and omg i’m honored to be an inspiration for you!! 😊💕

i only use ezgif when editing and fixing my gifs, so if you’re using a different software or website, i’m very sorry ;-;

however, this is a common issue i have with gifs, especially those found elsewhere from tumblr. sometimes gifs are just finicky and need to be run through the gif optimizer to make them upload correctly. if a gif is giving me an issue that isn’t remedied by the optimizer, i usually go through one or a few of these steps before i resort to the final step. also, these steps are in no particular order. typically the error with the gif can be seen immediately in the gif details, so you can use any of these methods at your own discretion.

1. upload the gif to the gif optimizer on ezgif.

2. make sure the gif is below or well below 10 MB.

3. make sure the gif can loop. sometimes gifs won’t loop automatically, and need to be adjusted in the reverse tab on ezgif.

4. make sure the gif is under 600 x 600 px in the resize tab to ensure tumblr can upload the gif. if the gif is too large, tumblr will give an error regardless of if the gif is broken otherwise.

5. lastly, sometimes the gif can be in a format tumblr nor ezgif recognize. what i do to remedy this is go to my photo gallery or the original source to screen record the gif that way, and just make my own gif with that screen recording!

if none of these methods fix your issues, let me know and i will see if i can help you any further!!

[nocturnal-stims]

Owl, a few months ago: oh, I don't think I can continue this blog, I'm too depressed.

Owl now, pumping stims out every few hours like a woman possessed: what can I say, it's therapeutic.

Anyway, here's a picture of my cat. He loves to sit on my lap as I fiddle with editing software and wage war against my god awful internet connection.

Also I'm pleased to announce that requests are back open!

[lovesick-level-up]

Heyo mod leaf!! Your blog looks super epic already!! And I'm loving your edits!! You're super talented, especially for someone just starting!! Anyways to the request part 😅 would you mind making a stimboard of izuru kamakura(if ur comfortable making stuff of him) with icing stims please? Take as long as you need with it and have a lovely rest of your day/night!! 💗💗💗

you can find your request here!

thanks, i'm glad you like my stuff already, i guess all that useless editing software knowledge is coming in handy.

it was kinda hard to find stims to fit izuru's colour palette, so let me know if you want anything changed!
