#I'M OBSESSED WITH THISSSSSSS

[tandytoaster]

I have made the terrible mistake of becoming so obsessed with and attached to my oc to the point where I have brought him into our physical world TWICE ( i made 2 dinky ass alph plushies with felt and I Do like them but i have not captured the vision i see in my mind ) but its not enough for me I need a third. A third one with a head that isn't more 2D than it is 3D. Like he needs to face forward. The problem is that he has a weird fuckin shaped head. And I have tried and tried and tried to plot out how to make it look right. I have looked at idk how many plushies for inspiration and nothing is really clicking EXCEPT this one specific invader zim plush THAT I ACTUALLY HAVE- but I have no idea where it is. I've given him such an odd headshape to make into a stuffed animal but any compromise / cop out I could think of is not satisfactory!!!

Its one of those things where I have to trial and error for months ( as i have been 🥲 ) and like even though I've been handsewing for YEARS, for FIFTEEN YEARS i don't do it enough to be truly GOOD at it.

I have this image in my head that is far out of my skillset and I don't even know how to make even a mockup of what a potential pattern would look like- so lets say I had the several hundred dollars to commissions someone, i wouldnt know how to guide them if they needed it ! I'm sure someone whos regularly been making stuffed animals for years would have a better idea than me, but I want whats in my head to be in my hands and I want to be sure of that 😭

Also!!!! All I have to work with is felt and even tho I love working with felt I think I would want my little guy to be a little softer :-( but I have no idea how well other materials hold together when handsewn.

Its such an overwhelming and daunting task with so much to consider and I'm like turning myself inside out trying to figure out what to do and how to do it but I'm STUBBORN so I'm like DAMNNNNN I WANT THISSSSSSS and you know me. when i want something i will chase it down.

Anyway it's time for more of my Ancient Human!Bonkles Bullshit because I can't leave well enough alone. Featuring the bad guys this time.

OKAY SO AN EXPLANATION IS IN ORDER HERE I THINK. Or maybe not maybe we're all willing to accept Twinkidax at face value but I'm gonna go ahead and say maybe we're not. I just. Man I wanted Makuta to be a cool grimdark edgelord so bad for some reason. Thankfully I came to my senses before we ever saw him in human form in the fic proper (which we never actually did lmao) and redesigned him. It's still not good but at least he's not. That.

Anyway he had a few different forms, the big shadow gas creature being the one that we saw most. Human!Makuta would have shown up at some point, probably, but I never got past the Morbuzakh arc so we never got to see him. As for the book uh. My brilliant idea was for Teridax to disguise himself as a book to get close to Dume and possess him. I don't know why that was my best idea.

YES I KNOW HIS NAME IS SPELLED WRONG he was not the only character who I couldn't remember where the H went. Nidhiki was Lhikan's roommate, only remaining teammate, and worstie (although it was 2011 so that wasn't a term that was used). His whole betrayal and joining the Hunters happened later in this fic, so the Toa Metru got to actually bear witness to that whole can of worms. Lhikan was still the only one who gave up his powers to give the Metru theirs, though, it was a whole thing, Nidhiki was kinda bitter about it. Anyway he had four arms instead of four legs because I couldn't draw more than two legs. I think the idea was that he was stuck partway between his Toa and regular forms and that's why he has heterochromia, too. Fun fact, his surname being Cane was supposed to be from "hurricane," but was also a reference to "raising Cain"/Cain and Abel, which I stole directly from Skulduggery Pleasant lmao

Not sure why this is the direction I went for Krekka but okay. He was barely in the fic I have nothing to say about him sorry

I think I had a crush on Lariska I'm not gonna lie. I remember making this outfit using a tool you could use to make Gaia Online outfits lmao. Also I apparently hella shipped DaggerSpider. I was right actually they were fuckin

GOD WHY DID I DO SIDORAK LIKE THISSSSSSS. He was Onewa's roommate and a big weenie. Your Local Emo Dental Hygiene Student Who's Also Obsessed With Bugs And Becomes King Of The Spiders By Accident Or Possibly Birthright I Don't Fucking Remember. Man he should've been this big lumberjack looking motherfucker.

Once again my inability to come up with Outfits hampers my character design. Also she needs bigger boobs. And bigger muscles. She barely appeared in the fic though so like

Alright I think that's it for villains.

I'm obsessed with all of thisssssss

Thinking of pre-aa Virgil accidentally shocking one of the sides when they brush past him (static electricity from his hoodie, and this happens alot) and when he sees them flinch he starts to think he's somehow contagious. Like, he already knows his room can "infect" the other sides over enough time so it'd make sense that they'd also be impacted by touching him directly, right? That's interacting with Anxiety at the source, of course it'd corrupt them however briefly.

So he avoids touching them or being near them for several months leading up to and even after he reveals his name, because he's so sure that he'd hurt them if he let any of them get too close and he doesn't want to do that, not after they've gotten this far.

Then one day he falls asleep during movie night and when he wakes up to find himself leaning against Patton's shoulder like it's nothing, like he's not even affected at all, he finally starts to put the pieces together and realizes that they're just as safe with him as he is with them.

Have I revised for Wednesday’s exam this afternoon? No.

But have I finished the 3rd book of The Mirror Visitor series? ... 

[babygirldilf]

WHAT IS THIS. WHAT IS THISSSSSSS. I physically can not handle this anymore they always look like they're in love no matter how long they know each other or how long it has been since they've seen each other OR HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN FOR ME It is literally 2023 and I am still forever obsessed with the two sad depressed men in love and even you can't tell which two I'm talking about

It's all of them

[mistresspandorawritesthings]

get to know you tag!

@geekinthefuschiahair tagged me on this too! Actually, I think.... maybe @kholran might have also tagged me a while back and I forgot or couldn't think of answers to the "what new media have you consumed" question and then forgot 😅

3 ships:

Jamie Fraser/Lord John - SO MUCH fun conflict and drama and all sorts of potential for a fix-it.

Lord John/Stephan von Namtzen - If I had to pick a partner for John to end up with in canon, it'd be this gigantic sweet cinnamon roll.

Jamie Fraser/Hal Grey - Look, it started as an ironic "how heinous a ship can I sail" crackship... now there's fic and I'm day dreaming about it and... And I have so many regrets.

Last song: "I Hate Myself for Loving You" by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (the TAALS2 Jamie that lives in my head is obsessed with Joan Jett btw, it's getting weird in my brain)

.... "getting" *snort* Like that's new...

Last movie: I finally have an answer for this one! I watched Free Guy this weekend with my family and OMGGGGG it was way better than I even imagined it would be. 5/5 stars

Last book: Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall. READ THISSSSSSS

Currently watching: a fucking progress wheel spin into oblivion.

Currently consuming: Coffee. When this cup is empty I have to make myself switch to tasteless nonsense because I suck at keeping myself alive

Currently craving: salt and vinegar chips. Alternatively, eight hours of uninterrupted sleep.

Wanna play? Say I tagged you! (I know, it's a cop-out, forgive me, I have divided attention)

[percy-thrills-thrillington]

I was tagged by @music-on-canvas to list 10 songs I'm currently obsessed with. Thank you for the tag!!! This was really fun to do!

1. Buttercup - Jack Stauber

I know this is practically a meme song, but it’s such a chill beat. Me and my friends all jammed to this while we were in Chicago not too long ago, and since then it just holds a special place in my heart. And I keep dissecting it because that’s just who I am.

2. Hush - Deep Purple

I keep getting excited about Edgar Wright’s new movie Last Night In Soho and I keep listening to this and thinking about the POSSIBILITIES. You have no idea how much I am looking forward to this movie, it’s the psychedelic 60’s, physiological horror, AND MADE BY MY FAVORITE DIRECTOR?! I’m pretty sure Edgar Wright looked at a sea of his fans, saw me, and was like “I will cater to this bitch and this bitch alone”.

3. The Comeback Kid - The Midnight

This song.... gives me.... emotionsss............. 🥺.... I’ve been watching Cobra Kai (which is surprisingly good so far) and it made me think of this song so HERE WE ARE

4. Substitute - The Who

I love playing this song on my guitar so when I’m not at home playing it I am listening to it and wishing I was playing it. I think it was a favorite Who song of mine before I learned it, but honestly it’s a chicken-egg situation now lol.

5. Politicians In My Eyes - Death

I just discovered Death and I LOVE THEM. They are one of the earliest punk bands that recorded, but were only recently given the recognition they deserve in that regard. They were a funk band, but switched their style after they saw The Who— ITS JUST GREAT. Look into them. They’re amazing and their influence is BONKERS.

6. Temporary Secretary - Paul McCartney

This. Song. Fucks. You can’t tell me otherwise. It’s insufferable and I love it.

7. Roadrunner - Modern Lovers

Idk man. Just love that laid back shit. Good song to walk down the street to. This is the vibe I give off in general I think.

7. A Case of You - Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell is the most beautiful lady in the world and I am in love with her. I’m not even too sure what she looks like. But her soul is made of winds both powerful as storms and soft as whispers and .... I just i I’m I am in love with Joni Mitchell. Okay? I just. Am.

8. Wanna Kiss - Hitomi Tohyama

This song also fucks. I heard this song from a remix by Groovy Godzilla which is also good, but I like the weight of this version.

9. Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve?) - The Buzzcocks

Sooo hmm how do explain thisssssss— okay I’m GMing an RPG about kids in the 80’s, and my character is a punk teen who fell in love with his best friend when they were kids, but then they had a falling out and now his friend is the popular kid in school, and they are enemies, but my character still secretly has feelings for him...... and so this song is obviously on my characters playlist lol.

10. Fun Fun Fun - The Beach Boys

Been thinking about surfer rock Keith Moon. Also just an excellent song to drive around with your friends to during a hot summer day ☺️���

Now to tag! I tag @starry-eyed-starling, @whossmashedguitar, @pete-townshend-is-the-eggman, and @anynameisbetterthanmyfirstone ✌🏽✨⭐️💛
