#Anyway this is a new favorite book :)

idia’s simultaneous call-out and self-reflection while also still being directed at rollo hits really hard man 😭
like he's not just talking to rollo, he is also acknowledging his own feelings especially with the whole book 6 debacle
#[—✦ rambling#-✧ twst gameplay#glorious masquerade#these arent new thoughts i know hgdlskjfd#but i just. aghhhh#im still not an idia liker in any sense tbh#more power to the people who like him 😭 i get you guys but not my cup of tea#but his backstory and relationships with both orthos are one of my favorite things about twst#book 6 made me cry in every way possible#anyways glomas my beloved lmao#azul really changed the mood by uno-reversing rollo

Initial drawings of that old man… I literally, I haven’t finished reading the book of bill yet!!! I had to stop and take a break for a week to feverishly draw fanart of myself petting fords floofy hair and giving him attention and shit…!!!! The urge was too great….!! I’ve literally. I had a crush on this guy the instant he was first REVEALED in the show, but I did not have the artistic prowess to draw good looking old men back then… but I do now… thank god… thank fucking god
#gravity falls#ford pines#stanford pines#self ship#self insert#si x canon#it me#doodles#I got a haircut! so my hair looks different now.. as haircuts tend to do lol#anyway… yeah… I LOVE HIM… GRAHHFJH#the confirmation that he rlly is just sad and lonely and insecure and craving attention and validation#OHH FORD BBY.. WE R THE SAME#like… ghghg i loved him already just w his prickly nerdy outer shell but knowing more about the vulnerable center is GREAT. ITS AWESOME#also hes a smart nerdy guy who can do science and expirements and shit which is ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS FOR A CHARACTER TO DO#u kno im all about scientists….#I couldn’t draw ship art back then 1 cuz I didn’t kno how to draw old men and 2 cuz I was like 13 lol… which would have been wierd#but I’m an ADULT NOW. GET OVER HERE FORD#also it didn’t even rlly cross my mind TO draw that stuff cuz even tho I did love ford#self ship and x reader sorta stuff was not NEARLY as popular back then.. like I specifically remember it like. booming in popularity#at some point. but being pretty rare before that. anyway. thank u passage of time and trends and new gravity falls book for introducing#me back to fictional man I love. so I can now draw myself smooching him and shit#hell yeah.#13 is probably not actually correct I do not remember exactly which year fords reveal was in…#but I was probably older then 13.. but still#the point remains lol.#also omg. the bit in the book w the goth moth. ‘ur probably into this sorta thing right?’#I AM INTO THAT SORTA THING FORD. thank u book of bill for being written specifically @ me. the immersion it’s great.#like ur so right ford I AM edgy and goth how’d u guess that tee hee. eyelash flutter#aLSO PLS IGNORE MY FINGER BEING IN FRAME IN THE LAST PIC. I was drawing in a tiny bound sketchbook#so I had to hold the paper down to keep it flat. and. I didn’t feel like censoring my fucking. pinkie finger out of the image

This is definitely my favorite runner in book 6
#scott pilgrim#scott pilgrim's finest hour#ramona flowers#knives chau#envy adams#gideon graves#dumb stuff#book 4 is still my favorite in terms of comedy#but book 6 definitely has some gold moments from the expressions to this runner etc#4 and 6 are tied for my faves in the series. 4 i like for the character development and humor and ~roxie <3~#but 6 has the ending which is probably my favorite ending to any series i've ever read or watched. it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside#anyways i reread the entire series in one day because of the anime and my cringe teen hyperfixation phase reawakened like a sleeper agent#i'm riding it out at this point and waiting for it to settle down. or something new and shiny grabs my attention#whichever comes first

sometimes the ghost of kelley puckett (he is still alive) haunts me. does he know. does he even know. he’s so detached from the comics community and he’s such a private guy (I RESPECT THAT WHOLEHEARTEDLY) that i really and truly do not know if this man knows how much cassandra cain means to us. does he know batgirl 2000 is heralded as the bible of dc solo books, as a lot of people’s favorite comic ever written. does he know how much we love cass. how we write essays over her character and how amazing she is and how she changed our lives. does he know how adored his writing is. does he know he wrote the best comics character introduction of all time. does he even. know.
#cassandra cain#dc#look. sometimes i think about kelley puckett. and i go a little crazy#i KNOW how much shit he got from dc execs at the time#because he was doing something new and different#and because dc as well as a lot of fans at the time#didn’t have room for a newly created disabled asian teenaged girl in their personal batman mythos.#i have a pretty good idea of how much disrespect cass got as a character (SEE: HER LITERALLY BEING WRITTEN OUT OF THE STORY WHEN#DUDES GOT SO WHINY ABOUT BABS NOT BEING BATGIRL. WTF.)#so. i have no idea what his general thoughts & feelings were when writing for dc.#i think he’s doing accountancy now? or coding? something like that#the man did like ONE interview and i think it was from 2002#ANYWAY. THE POINT IS.#the way this circle of online dc fans regard cass and batgirl 200 in general#is SO…#WE LOVE CASS OKAY. SHE’S SO MANY PEOPLES FAVORITE CHARACTER.#and batgirl 2000 is thought of as THEE comic book EVER#and as some of the best writing dc had EVER had#kelley puckett is a literal god of a writer to us.#AND I DONT KNOW IF HE?? KNOWS THAT?????#DOES HE KNOW I WOULD PAY HIM A MILLION DOLLARS TO COME WRITE FOR DC AGAIN.#because hes just that good and most comics post new 52 have been garbage#does he know how beloved he is. I don’t know#anyway. I sincerely hope wherever mr puckett is right now#he’s having a wonderful day and he knows how many gay people on tumblr#write extensive meta essays about his writing

Don't judge a book by its cover. An essay by Mew Pt. 2
Mew in his revenge era went shopping and thought, "you know what screams I'm gonna fuck you up, maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't? Floral/patterned shirts," and proceeded to buy a bunch of those.
BOOK KASIDET as MEW WITSARUT ( ONLY FRIENDS EPS. 7-12 )
Correction: I missed one outfit in ep. 6 and instead of remaking that set, I'll just post it below because it's actually the hottest Mew has looked, so I'm not even upset.
#only friends the series#ofts#only friends#mew witsarut#book kasidet#thai drama#thai bl#gmmtv series#gmmtv bl#th: only friends#:: fashionbaby#:: onlyfriendsoutfits#bibi gifs#man ep 8 is truly traumatizing when you rewatch raymew's scenes#and i mean this with love but ep 8 was something else#anyway i think it's obvious that mew's style is the one that changed the most throughout the show (at least until now let's see nick)#from cute colorful stripes to very busy and right in your face shirts that we usually associate with ray but i'll say after doing this mew'#new style doesn't feel like ray. it feels like he's trying to mimic him and it's not quite there bc it still is mew. idk how to phrase it#but it's much more like if I change my style and wear the busiest shirts#maybe people won't read me as plain and won't cheat on me for being considered boring#something something#mew trying to mimic ray and ray channeling sand in ep 9 will forever be my favorite piece of storytelling#btw this gifset looking way less chaotic than the others and more linear? totally by accident

#thinking of dinosaurs and troodontids were my favorite dinosaurs as a child#when younger i had a real full troodontid tooth fossil that meant a lot to me#for a time we lived within a few kilometers of hadrosaur sites and troodontid sites#while wider general area had many sites of recovery for the big celebrities like tyrannosaur and multiple dromaeosaurs#at that time troodontids were kinda infamous for i think the depiction in some childrens field guides and dino books#which depicted like a fantasy speculative humanoid troodontid based on 1980s model at Canadian Museum of Nature in ottawa#anyway would visit a small local paleo center a lot and woman in her 70s or 80s ran the counter of their center and rock shop#one day she asked me what my fave dino was and i said troodon so she pulled out the tooth and just gifted it to me#in little black case size of ring box with padding and transparent plastic viewing cover kinda like laminate for displaying a trading card#tooth got stolen from out my vehicle while giving some people a ride while at university before i got too poor for tuition#later during first year of pandemic owner of my storage unit died and new property owners threw away everything i ever owned#i was homeless anyway lost job due to early pandemic closures and had to allocate any money to insulin and other prescrip meds#but wouldve found a way to save my things if the new owners had contacted me#they threw out photoalbums y backpacking gear y books y musical instruments y clothes y artwork y camera y all family keepsakes#and all childhood treasures like souvenirs and gifts and school awards and writing portfolios and all the little memories#which i was always sentimental about as child#from earliest age my room looked like a natural history museum with plants and maps and library of field guides#and rocks and field trip keepsakes and all kinds of little animal figurines and mother had painted room in forest greens and browns#to feel like a forest and among the succulent plants and a globe sat the troodon tooth#parents passed when i was a child#never near any family and were always moving never got to settle into proper stable place then father passed after long sad illness#and mother put in so much effort but she passed few years later and i could not take care of myself or my remaining material possessions#and so im still quite hurt having nothing whatsoever remaining of my childhood or school friends or mother or life generally#and when trying to process grief my thoughts often come back to the troodontid tooth as a focal point a distillation of what was lost#even when young i knew it was advised not to become too connected to material physical possessions#but still there are some small little trinkets in our lives that seem to hold so much meaning and i tortured myself for losing that tooth#thinking about troodon reminds me of childhood

"For particularly important things, it's always more reassuring to write them down like this." - Zhang Beihai
[ID in alt text]
#my art#three body problem#3 body problem#zhang beihai#三体#章北海#i've been meaning to draw three body problem characters and actually post them on my blog for quite some time!#so if anybody wants me to draw any specific character from the series feel free to reply here or send an ask as a request!#beihai is my top favorite and he resonated with me more than i expected! i rather liked bits of consequentialist philosophical ideas in him#anyways incoming ramble/infodump in the tags about various subjects pertaining to him#all you need to know about me is that i often lurk in chinese language fandom spaces and you might see commonalities in designs#if you see fanartists draw him with the broken eyebrow and mole then that's due to the 我的三体 (my three-body) donghua adaptation!#admittedly i was introduced to the series through that adaptation years ago because it seemed rather absurd (minecraft haha) but oddly good#at least check out the third season (haven't seen the fourth one yet but that's ongoing actually) or listen to 夜航星 (night voyager)#i'm rather curious how fanartists on tumblr might tackle character designs since i mostly see the two live action adaptations here#i want to diverge my designs from any particular adaptation but my beihai design takes a lot from 我的三体!#now about beihai- i really enjoyed his characterization and i'd like to bring up a maybe unintentional parallel and foil with the eto#hopefully that's something new to add to the discussion about zhang beihai and here's what adaptations don't get about mike evans#in the book he's a character you mostly only hear about from others and he's known to be a private person#he conceals a lot of his thoughts from even people like ye wenjie + he taught the trisolarans about deceit#then his strategy to kill luo ji was to keep it low and make it seem like an accident which those obfuscations of thought parallels beihai#then evans says: “but… it's obvious now that everywhere is the same” which is similar to beihai's “it doesn't matter. it's all the same”#the contexts differ but i think they're good foils about human nature “being the same” with evans's quote being about futility#then beihai's was about how regardless of if he survived or not- someone else would be able to carry on with his work#i have many other thoughts about beihai like how chu yan's (captain of blue space) group approach with the voting contrasts beihai#while beihai tried to bear the weight of attacking the other ships in solitude- chu yan made vengeance against trisolaris a group effort#(which that action goes against how the swordholder was a solitary role instead of a group one which is neat to me!)#i'd discuss more but i think that's enough to show that i really love zhang beihai (feel free to discuss the books with me though)

picked up a copy of and read the king in yellow (signalis reasons) and going in was like hmmmmm this probably wont end up being something i take inspiration from for the fic it’d be too on the nose to take inspiration from the king in yellow and i dont want much horror inspiration haha. and then like half of the book is romance anyways im so fucked either way yayyyy
#good book not the best idea to advertise it solely based on the king in yellow parts bc its only present for less than half the book#anyways i miiight do sole stuff with ideas of madness and forbidden knowledge and whatever#obsession is easy i can probably fold that in with the biology stuff. the more plot focused stuff is still fuzzy#salty talks#anyways my favorites were the first and fourth stories tho the one with the cat is also good#trying to figure out how it related to signalis beyond. being literally present. rn im just getting theme inspiration#ive read it once and just watched a letsplay lf the game i think a yter was gonna do vids on the book and then signalis#also. not used to actually seeking out and reading a book that something alludes to and uses the way signalis does the king in yellow#so im just sitting here like. ok what do i do with this now. i have a new book. with surprisingly fun romance for a late 1800s book#i was not in it for the romance and even now im more a fan of the former half of the book but honestly? the romance was kinda cute#the interactions between the characters in the romances were cute it surprised me that i kinda found them fun#this is me talking abt rhe bellum x linebeck fic btw. but also did get the book bc of doomed yuri symbolism and themes

i dont think i've ever had such a drastic change from sketch to final
i also dont think an idea has ever taken me this long to execute JHDKFH
#only thing comparable is the sketch i decided was cringe and abandoned#only to revisit it like 8 months later when he died and it's on the front page of one of his memorial books now-#it felt too emotional at the time for silly block game and i was embarrassed about it#felt just right later on. still a huge favorite of mine. might redo it one day :0#feels wrong to redo it but also feels like doing it justice ya know#but anyways this aint about that. love this one too lol#the posing changed SO MUCH.......... it might as well be entirely new 😭#im in love with how it turned out tho. even if i CLEARLY lost steam later#techno's HAIR probably has more lines than simon. like all of simon#chat

Legend of Shadow High I love you so much but you have so many plotholes <3<3<3
#no 1: confirming that the book and tv show happen in the same universe when that makes no sense but to choose a specific example:#Brooke and Maddie meet in this book for the first time but in the tv show they met way earlier and since this book refers to events that#happen later in the show this cannot be a case of 'this book takes place at a different point in the timeline than what we thought'#also tv show Maddie only refers to her as the new or young narrator and recognizes her as such#in the book she doesn't recognize her at all saying only she sounds like a girl indicating they hadn't met before#brooke also says that this is her first time narrating solo which contradicts way too wonderland#no 2: Monster High#we know from cupid and other mh media that eah connects to g1 mh but this one connects to g2#so either one eah can connect to multiple versions of mh (which makes sense to me and is what I believe) or the cupid from these books is#either from the mh g2 verse or not from mh at all#no 3: the books until now had only one known narrator while Brooke and Maddie claim there are multiple despite this not being the case#since Maddie always always recognizes the narrator in the books and the narrator appears to always be the same one#in reference to no 2: the point about cupid being from a different mh contradicts no 1#the only way the entirety of this book makes sense is by believing that the entire book simply plays in an alternate universe where both the#events of the show and books happened with minor differences#anyway shadow high is my favorite book and I think that despite all of this it's still enjoyable and most importantly REALLY fun#ultimately these plot holes and such don't matter#ever after high#eah#burtle screms#i like ignoring plot holes for enjoyability <3

Slotting The Long Winter alongside North and South as a book about life in the nineteeth century that counts as a sci fi because it explores how technology affects the lives of the people whose society depends on it, and explores what kind of duty a man has to care for his own business vs. that of the community.
#preliminary thought is that north and south is kinder to the poor and more community-minded#because there's a lot of stuff in the long winter about how you need to care for yourself and not rely on others#or the scenes where the guy's like 'why should i have to give up my seed for folks who were too dumb to get their own supplies?'#and the response is 'of course you don't have to. of course we'll pay you for it'#as if letting people starve would have been a valid option#but then there are scenes that push back against it#namely the scene with the storekeeper trying to pricegouge the wheat#(contender for new favorite scene in the book)#where they show the other side of capitalism/free market#where of course you have the right to charge what you want#but get too greedy and the community will remember#so it's in your best interests to be decent#and now that i put it that way WOW is that a cynical take#but it's still a nice moment when they make the storekeeper change his mind#but anyway it's kind of interesting that the working-class take is more 'every man for himself' than the genteel english take was#the long winter#north and south#little house#laura ingalls wilder#elizabeth gaskell

So, I’m not very far into the book yet (page 190), but wow, Eragon sure is haunting this narrative so far. Like, I knew he would, the guy is kind of a big deal around here, and yet, I didn’t expect this much. And I just—I miss him.
#also the implications it has for murtagh as a character is WILD#but i don’t think i’m qualified to unpack All That#but who knows (some of you do)#maybe he’ll do less haunting as the story goes on and murtagh has bigger fish to fry (pun intended)#anyway#I MISS MY BOY#ERAGON IS MY FAVORITE#*cries*#the inheritance cycle#christopher paolini#the world of eragon#murtagh#murtagh book#murtagh spoilers#eragon shadeslayer#brb i’m gonna go read my brand new copy of eragon and cry about my baby boy being all grown up

Idk what it is that makes me fixate so hard on one specific thing for years at a time, but I need it to chill out 😭 DnDads has been my only long-term media interest for like 1 and 1/2 years now, and it’s BORING to only like one thing ever lol I’m BORED!!! I need other things to be interested in, but I struggle with getting into new stuff (other than video games) sooo bad :(
That said, if you have DnD podcast recs that have interesting characters……… GIMME 👀 Also where the early episodes aren’t a nightmare to listen to 🙏 I have never listened to any other DnD podcasts, and I think it’s mostly bc the earlier seasons are always poor audio quality or like 3 hours long 😭 I’m also good with any type of narrative podcast. I just want compelling characters and platonic/familial dynamics pls. Stuff I can write sad shit about!! But also not TOO sad the whole time… maybe a little bit silly idk
So far, ones I’ve written down to listen to are Cast Party and Friends at the Table? I don’t know anything about either of them, though so? Also I keep seeing my mutuals posting Oxventure and Woe.Begone (although the latter isn’t a DnD podcast.. I think?) sooooo let me know your thoughts. And recommendations! Send me your propaganda! Tell me about your blorbos
#the only podcasts I’ve really listened to are dndads and tma#but not the new tma one or whatever it’s called#I don’t really remember anything about it and was never into the fandom anyway#it was interesting ig but just not for me#I listened to it on 2x speed 😭#I’ve also listened to a bit of wtnv and it was fun#but I also just wasn’t super invested. I like the concept a lot though hehe#anyway pls give me podcast recs. you guys can probably assume my favorite types of characters/relationships#I’m easy to read lol#tv show and book series recs are also appreciated#but idk I feel like there are probably a lot of podcasts and audio dramas I’m missing out on#and I drive 45 mins - 1 hour pretty often so it’s nice to have something I can listen to instead of sitting down with#also my last super long-term media interest was fucking danganronpa 😭#which I exclusively fixated on and talked about ad nauseum for like 4 years so. so yeah#chalcy stuff#tma#danganronpa#<- remembered I should probably tag things that aren’t what I usually post lol sorry#hopefully the other stuff doesn’t need tags
