#IT DOESNT COME ACROSS IN THE TAGS

new group activity: period cramp transferring (based off convo with @cyanvalour)

[sclappin]

Commissions are currently open, and I figured I'd make an updated pricing post!

I will draw:

OCs

Blorbo from your shows

Your D&D party

You and/or your loved ones

NSFW art

Posters for your band's next gig

Posters for your next wrestling match on the indies

Someone wearing a specific outfit you saw in a museum and can't stop thinking about

...& more!

I'm also now introducing a more budget-friendly option that's much more scaled back than my usual commission work, more akin to the simple drawings from my comics, if that's of interest to anyone.

Please don't hesitate to reach out with inquiries!

(All pricing is in USD)

"Here, Shadow, Come here."

"What nerve you've got today; who stepped on your heels hard enough to be this demanding?"

"I just thought you'd find this interesting."

"Gonna show me why you guys worship this tree so much?"

"It's the Tree of Wishes, I'd like you to try it out, if you want to of course."

"I think you've called the wrong beast over if you're too lazy to fulfil your own wishes and swarm around the tree all day."

"Well, I'm perfectly happy with the beast I have called over. You simply write what you want in this note and the little blue birds will sort it out and send it to you as soon as possible."

"I didn't think you lot would be surveillance city. :p"

"I suppose one could think of it with such paranoia, with all my time with the birds though they're pretty friendly. I don't think they'd do anything to harm the cookies, that's not really on the agenda for a bird."

As if on cue one of the birds comes out of their birdhouse with a present in its claws, flying off to a nearby cookie, dropping it off and returning to their nest.

"... How'd you get them to agree to this arrangement? Or did you breed them to behave this way?"

"I wasn't here for its construction, I've only fulfilled my wishes here. I could ask Gingerbrave or one of the gnomes though if you don't want to but still want an answer."

"... And no one here at all is bothered by these things?"

"Some cookies are apprehensive, but that's the most I've seen. I suppose getting your wishes fulfilled really does lift the spirits."

"How trusting."

"If you don't want to write something up then you don't need to, but it felt like something you'd like to try out if you knew about it."

"Wha~at? I come across as desperate to get my material wishes fulfilled to you? D'aww."

"Does a great job hiding his laugh everyone applaud him-- I don't think I'd quite put it that crudely, you seem more like someone who has a lot on their mind, and perhaps there are avenues out there you can take to alleviate some of them."

"Your ability to become more pathetic is inversely linked to your believability."

"You're free to just say if you don't want to, I do want to though."

As he says his words he brings out a little note from under his robes and hangs it up on the nearest branch, tying it with a little cute bow. Another bird comes out from the birdhouse and flies off to someone far away, Pv following it with his gaze the whole way.

"I know this stuff troubles you, and I know you've got your own suspicions about our legitimacy, and I've got no intention to tell you you're wrong for any of those feelings. But if I could hang one wish up on here it would be for you to feel better one day, even if it's just a little bit."

With a confused glare from Smilk Pv materializes his staff into his hand and walks away, leaving him by the tree alone. He doesn't quite figure out how to react to what was said, but looks back to the tree and snarls before teleporting away.

...

How curious is it though, that a couple days later one of the birds with a present flies off from the birdhouse, and it goes east, and further east, and even further, to reach the very edge of the kingdom's borders, to drop a package off to seemingly no one. I wonder what could've prompted the bird to do that? Perhaps it was just a mistake, those happen after all.

i'll try to say this in the kindest way possible but what if we don't post bucktommy critical or bucktommy negative posts that people originally censored/kept out of the bucktommy tag by screenshotting them and putting them in the tag? people are allowed to hate a ship. idk what to tell you but they're allowed to have their opinions even if their reasoning seems stupid to you or it very obviously comes with bad faith arguments. as long as they're being decent enough to not cross the line and do keep it in their own tags/blogs, you don't have to be fighting them in our tags. if you so want to, sure do it on your blog, in your dms, in your discord servers. but i'm tired of seeing the blogs i know i have blocked for their silly takes because we keep circulating what they're posting in our own tags. seeing a collage of the stupid, negative, downright homophobic comments curated from all sorts platforms in the bucktommy tag, in fact, feels no different in practice than seeing the antis post in the bucktommy tag, especially when you don't add the useful tags like "discourse" or "fandom criticism" to your posts.

just my own two cents, hell maybe it just bothers me idk, then keep doing it i guess.

people will post the most raggedy pictures of bob dylan where he looks malnourished unwashed and exhausted and as frail a crumpled piece of paper eyebags the size of minnesota and people will tag it with #<333 she's so beautiful #my specialest old man #so yuri pilled

[shatterdome-underscore]

Oh wow you guys were not exaggerating about Kabru. Flashing back to something Laios said thirty seconds before but with the happy white fuzz filter, immediately going "either I was wrong and they didnt rob us or they dont remember, either way its fine ❤️" to his party, blushing and going "this is so much worse than I imagined" while Shuro is actively trying to kill Laios, not even flinching over the "why were you eating a brick" thing? this little dude is a freak

thinking about the Richtofens again and their relation to the narrative.

Like you cannot deny that Ultimis Richtofen was the protagonist of early zombies. Protagonist, not hero. Important distinction. How BO1 was him literally all about him stealing narrative dominance from Samantha, who was arguably one of the most important and sympathetic character, not to mention incredibly relevant as she was the main antagonisy. Then BO2 came along and his power was contested, which was obviously the next step in the evolution of the story. Give a character power, and then have that power be tested. There we have the interesting route of Richtofen failing that test.

Of course, we know that's most likely because of Victis' reception at the time and the success of the Blundell maps, but in story is definitely represents a shift in narrative power, the person driving the plot. I think that is represented best by Monty's handling of the "Original" Maxis when he arrives in the house with Samantha, being that he wiped him from existence. Maxis was apparently strong enough to depose of Richtofen while he was in the MPD (the closest thing to god-like status we had see so far), swap out his soul (something Richtofen needed an entire meteorite and vril device to do), and ascend to Agartha. For Maxis to be erased like that means whoever did it was way more powerful than anything we've seen before. It was indicative of a shift in the narrative, both in terms of scale and character. No more Nazi experiments or Illuminati conspiracies, we're going magical multi-dimensional, boys!

But afterwards Ultimis never really got that dominance back. Going forward he was certainly a powerful personality and retained relevance (like communicating to Stulinger and serving as a parallel to Pernell), but he never got the narrative into a stranglehold like he had before.

Then we're introduced to primis. While Primis Ed never really "seized power", but he definitely drove the plot. He single-handedly kept that cycle perpetuated. He had all sorts of plots, even needing a tie-in comic to explain, which is insane. Primis Ed got his own side story. Boss bitch move. So basically complete dominance of the narrative is transferred to him, with Samantha not even contesting him, Monty being too passive, and the Shadowman busying himself by rooming with the rest of Ultimis in the Ball. But Primis has the unfortunate luck of having his story be a doomed one. No matter what he does, he will always end (and begin) the same way. And he cannot break free from that, because it's him that's causing it. It isn't until he gives up his role as leader that things get moving again. It's all very tragic and no doubt extremely frustrating for him.

And it's such a fascinating thing to pick up and look at. These guys are both such forces of nature, they make things happen, and they even succeed to varying degrees, but they will ultimately fail every time. They will try and try and try and try but never get what they want. They want to be important and powerful and respected and relevant. And for a while, their own drive and determination allows for that, but then that drives flips. It backfires on them in some way, always their own fault (Ultimis teleporting Maxis and Samantha fails to not only kill them but allows them to orchestrate his downfall, Primis knowingly locking himself and his team in a time loop that can only be broken by his own death.)

absolutely wild learning about my austistic leanings later in life because like

my parents just thought i was “eccentric” and found me rather entertaining, weirdness and all (plus their own probably undiagnosed AuDHD making their benchmark for normal skewed anyway) and my mon specifically was always so “mever change for anyone just be you” from a very young age so i just…

never experienced the concept of masking i guess?

Not as masking, I mean.

i would read accounts from autistic people talking about their experiences and struggles and pressure to conform and masking and the mental effects thereof and i would feel empathy because i “went through similar issues” but i th

i thought i was just being bullied for being Weird. just in general. like kids do. that this was a case of “well this sounds a lot like what i go through, but im not actually autistic so it probably isnt my place to join the conversation.”

it just never clicked that, “um. hi. these are the exact same behaviors you do. and there were moments in your life that almost led you to masking. because thats what it would’ve been. masking. but your dumb ass thought it wouldve just been ‘changing how you act and who you are in order to be bullied less’ which okay TECHNICALLY yes that is an accurate if watered down description of masking too, but.

Then you refused to on principle, because bullying is bad and fuck you and got angry about it to the point of overcompensating and INCREASING your Behaviors (tm) until you completely skipped over one of the key experiences that wouldve helped you identify with other people on the spectrum later in life.”

I just rolled through life like a steamroller of righteous, spiteful confidence that my preferences and actions were nobody’s business but my own and vice versa unless they clearly and directly affected others - so much so that I never actually set any kind of benchmark pattern for the way (NT) people around me act.

So I never had a benchmark for masking.

like im going back through all my memories of friendships that soured because i took everything at face value instead of trying to read deeper into cues. because I would always just say what i wanted people to know, straight up. like if i wanted attention i would ask for it if i wanted them to know i was hurt i would tell them. That made so much sense to me i assumed that was the norm. Because clearly. Thats logical. and obvious. So certainly other people are doing the same.

I got blinsided a LOT by the games my school friends and later some early adult friends played, yeah, but AGAIN (see: steamroller of self confidence) I simply assumed that was THEIR problem, not mine, and just… grieved the friendship and hoped for their sake they’d eventually sort their shit out 🤣

I literally thought they were the ones having difficulty with social contracts and cues and relationships.

Then over the past couple years the more I see accounts from other people in the AuDHD spectrum, like “yeah neurotypicals actually [thing i had been assuming was just an asshole trait for years without questioning it], heres what they really mean and a good script for responding” and “its funny how i [exact behavior i did for years] and no one realized i was austistic till later” im like… 🙃

And the last kicker was the post about food touching with the tag response “sometimes masking your autistic traits ends up more autistic than the unmasked trait” and my gut reactions were, in order:

…why would you bother to mask that, why is the way you eat anyone elses business?

i mean i guess it would ease up the pressure a bit, i got bullied for that too, i can see how maybe you wouldnt want to have to put… up with…

…

oHHHH SHIT IS THAT WHAT IT WOULDVE BEEN. IF I HADNT BEEN SO ANGRY ABOUT BEING ASKED TO CHANGE. IT WOULDVE BEEN MASKING. IF I’D KNOWN WHAT THAT WAS. THIS WHOLE TIME.

its just… its just been a series of months of me shaking my head and realizing my entire life has been that meme like “Am I having difficulties connecting socially??? No, it is everyone else who is wrong.”
