"...we could just run away somewhere, the two of us.” (Patreon)

Too many for a single photoset, but since these are a bit on the scribbly side I didn’t want to split them up either ♪ Enjoy the added commentary!

Couple’a cut panels, Max is reacting to Dexter putting his plans in motion here

Very inspired from the ever-so-slightly earlier scene in Helix of Max covering his ears to block out Dexter’s call ♥ Even when things are going his way it’s too overwhelming!

*Summer home. I forgot what he referred to it as lol

Can’t be a meeting if you just ditch entirely!

Surprised by this turn of events, just keeps getting better and better

Of course he had to say something and make Dex mad again haha ♪

Unfortunately his dialogue here was a little too silly for being high and sad and stressed so I had to move it, but he still turned out cute so here it is instead!

Guilty guilty guiltyyyy

Knocked out from the long car trip ♥ He definitely needs it

I love this shot, Dexter leaning in to check on him 💕

He’s so flippin’ cute I fjdsklafd

Very awake all of a sudden, spooked out of sleep. You’re the first ones here, it’s all fine

Head tilts forever ♥

He is still coming down after all

Pathetic, as always

Walked to be within sight of the house so he doesn’t go wandering off

Staff at the summer home?? Sure, why not lol, maybe they’re preparing for the Vyers to come by

suprize song guesses for london night 2*:

mary's song x fifteen x the best day

87 & 89; boy on the football team; works as a bridge between the other two

they all have themes of growing up, specifically going from the first verse of mary -> best day -> fifteen -> last verse of mary would kick ass imo

it would also be chronological in like, life events

country taylor

story of us x us.

both talking to the muse about how they feel after the end of a relationship

ngl i just want her to say "🎸🥀🪦the story of🪦🥀🎸 ... u-uUh-uh-us"

the albatross x peace

i can't explain how this makes sense but like

"she's the death you chose / you're in terrible danger" with "the rain is always gonna come / if you're standing with me"

how in the ancient mariner (poem where the albatross motif comes from) the rain happening both with the wedding guest and the mariner after he kills the albatross

honestly i think peace works with a lot of things on ttpd/the anthology

FOR EXAMPLE

peace x ttpd x the prophecy

goes from warning the person you're still with -> warning the person you recently separated from -> realizing you need the warning more than they do

"give you my wild / give you a child" -> "you took my ring off my middle finger and put it on the one / people put wedding rings on" -> "don't want money / just someone who / wants my company"

like, ill give you everything i have (but some things are out of my control) to you said could handle that to no one wants to be with me, i don't want to be with me, get me out of the life i built for myself

or it could be like, ill give you everything i have (but some things are out of my control) to you said you'd give me everything too, you said you were forever about this (add in the chorus of ttpd) but instead you left, and no one else knows you like i do, what are YOU going to do now to i should have taken my own advice, they were right to leave, who would want me if the trade off is this life?

tl;dr: i love my monochromatic greyscale albums

loml also fits the theme but idk if she would do 4 songs in a mashup and also the story feels pretty strong imo with just those three

london boy

she's in london

i have no further evidence

closure x imgonnagetyouback

so according to google these are in the same key and now i want to teach myself guitar so i can mash them up myself because dear god

anyway 1. she hasn't played either of them and they're both like top 3 of their albums

they also happen to be the 2 sides of my last breakup and i just now realized that...

anyway, in closure the other person is being clingy and wants the breakup to be amicable so they can feel like a good person

and in imgonnagetyouback the speaker is being ,,clingy,, or like, thinking too much about a relationship that's over

(also the person in closure always seemed to me to be in a better place emotionally + was the one to break up where as the letter sender felt like they had an ulterior motive for contacting their ex)

SO, imgonnagetyouback is written by the person who got dumped and closure is the person who broke things off and they're writing about the same relationship

peace x clean

i don't really have a story for this but

"the rain came pouring / down when i was drowning / that's when i could finally breathe" and "the rain is always gonna come / if you're standing with me"

maybe like, clean is the aftermath, written by person A, and peace is written by person B warning person A. the rain being like, person B's sadness/baggage, but also serving as the method of escape for person A

like, the thing that is person B's biggest flaw was the way person A knew to run

a real if they show you who they are believe them type story, but mostly i just like both of the rain lines in the songs

[msburgundy]

it seems like it would be too soon for it to actually be making a difference but i feel really good (but not too good lol), like the kind where you suddenly realize how bad you felt now that you no longer do. so hopefully that doesn't change

My fucki ng. Notes

[shining-gem34]

||Zzzz. Morning people. I got some coffee today since I didn't go to bed until 1AM. I'll be around lurking as usual. I will be catching up my drafts/asks since I got the drabble done. :3

[discoreptile]

Beasties of Greenhollow soundtrack! Some tracks on this are from older projects like elphame but all of them have been reworked in some way. Most of them are entirely new. Enjoy!

[kayzis]

ordered a band shirt online. they're pretty cool and are (possibly) a kinda small band so i figure thats why the shipping is expensive. this is fine, they're the first band whose entire discography has had me bopping in a very long time. so i dont mind forking out a little more. (im also very used to big ol shipping costs as i live in australia)

get the order confirmation. order processing says it will take 2-3 business days. this is fine.

shipping estimate says it will be 2-3 months.

MONTHS

[loumauve]

sometimes I forget that it is in fact not normal to have sudden social anxiety spikes after only two days spent inside, away from other people.

(the kind that make it near impossible to even just step in front of the door and walk downstairs to check the letterbox, much less leave for long enough to get groceries)

rest of a long thing under the cut bc I don't want to bother anybody with my introspection. but I wanted it to be there in case someone else struggles with this. idk. helps to not feel entirely alone in dealing with this shit

and paid time off is a curse sometimes, because it leads to weeks not going outside, which then starts the entire cycle I've been working on disrupting all over again. and I know that the only solution is actually going outside even if it's just for a bit, but fuck if it isn't the hardest thing in the world sometimes.

and it's so at odds with how people know me, generally, folks at work, friends for the most part, because I've gotten real good at pushing through and just doing the things that my body tells me are dangerous, but then I stay at home for three days and I just.. fall apart.

it's not as bad as it used to be, I'm better at at least taking out the trash if I need to, and if I can work myself up to it even ordering food instead of going without meals if things get too bad, but it takes so much energy to do any of those small, everyday things that I should just be able to do. idk

I never really went to therapy for it even if it's the mental-illness shit I've dealt with for the longest time. they diagnosed me when I was 14 and by then I had probably 14 years of ingrained, bad habits built up. and they recommended group therapy which in retrospect probably could have helped a lot, but to me (teen bullied by other teens who felt unsafe around pretty much anyone, even at home) it sounded like hell so I refused to go.

I can still remember my mum telling me that I would instead have to work on dealing with it myself, finding strategies to live with it, I guess. we would play silly games like labyrinth before I'd have to go to school, but I'd just cry through it all and then oftentimes circle back home when I knew everyone would be out. suffice to say I did find ways to push myself to do the things that felt like walking into fire, and it worked enough to a point where it just felt like holding my hand over a candle flame for a little too long. bearable if painful. and I guess I'm still stuck there.

trauma therapy helped me process some things and put others in perspective, enough to at least move on (never forgive or forget though, that I'll leave to the people with bigger hearts) and we worked through some of the hangups, but overall not much has changed nor do I think it would given more time and therapy.

like my grandmother I struggle to make myself do things that I know I should sometimes. (and the Innerer Schweinehund is too strong) at least if I don't technically need to do those things to survive. instead I'll eat plain rice for weeks on end. or candy from two years ago, or drink coffee and eat nothing for a week. which, I know, is disordered eating which in and of itself would probably benefit from more therapy, but I guess as long as my body can deal with it it's good enough as is.

I've always stood out a bit from the crowd because of my beanpole physique for a guy — but today it was funny to get an audible "wHOA-" from my coworker, who's always just seen me in an oversized sweater until I took it off 😅

like yeah bro, these skinny arms helped you open that container you struggled with not too long ago, what about it?

War is Over - FFD Short Drabbles (-2)

This marks the start of the short stories I'm gonna be doing for Falling From Dawn! It'll be smaller stories based on each page, and I'm going to try to post these when I'm lacking in motivation to make pages. Every story will be under a read more for the sake of not accidentally making posts that take forever to scroll past.

@tmntaucompetition @rottmnt-au-summit this is propaganda btw

CW; Wound mentions. Word Count; 141

Mikey breathed a shaky sigh of relief as he closed the portal, stopping Krang Prime from escaping the Prison Dimension. He looked down, tears stinging the corners of his eyes as she saw the odd, pixel-like wounds on her hands and arms, before looking up again at the sound of Donnie’s voice. 

“Mikey, come here.”

Mikey shook a bit as he glanced over his shoulder, worry and fear in her teary eyes. “...Is Leo...” He trailed off, not wanting to finish the sentence.

“Not dead yet, Angelo...”

Mikey froze at the sound of Leo’s shaky, damaged voice, but couldn’t stop the weak smile that came onto his face, stumbling over to Raph and Donnie’s side. They were all wounded, Leo’s wounds being the worst out of any, but they were all alive. And that’s what mattered to him the most.

“...Good.”

My plush has not moved since last night and I don't think it's coming today I think they should give to me now though because I waited so patiently :3 /hj

[vorefluff]

bite 2.0, this time for Alexander. Another character from @luckyshotwrites ‘s story ‘What I’d do for a Livable Income’. Because bite, I guess. If I’d been thinking I’d have waited for a bit and put the two bite doodles together on the same post.

But well. If you look at that sideways face, do you really think there’s a single thought behind those eyes? /lh 

Head empty only bite.

[todayisafridaynight]

Which piece of art did you make that you're the most proud of?

ermmmm idk, im proud of a lot of things i make tbh LOL

[jekna]

I randomized my character in Baldur's Gate 3, including genitals, and didn't look to see what genitals she ended up with

Haven't seen them in any cut scenes yet, including Lae'zel's first sex scene. So at this point, Lae'zel is the only person who knows what genitals my character has.
