#It also generally is just kind of gross.

A fundamental issue of all the Dracula adaptations that do the Dracula and Mina are in love thing is that they always do it in this stupid "Dracula's dark and alluring mysterious aura draws in Mina" instead of someone asking at a train station when the train for Liverpool is supposed to arrive with both Dracula and Mina answering at the exact same time in sync and then locking eyes across the station.

had a conversation with my mother yesterday in which she was very clearly looking for reasons to be convinced I'm going to lose my job any minute (taking vacation time, spending too much time on performing arts, enrollment being down because of FAFSA issues, just being generally unsightly) and it really makes me feel like confirming her priors about education and Liberal Hypocrisy and nobody wanting to look at fat people is more important to her than my continued success and happiness in life

I hate it when people put any sort of rpf content on public twitter anyways but taking a screenshot of fic and posting it on on your public account is like fucking heinous

really appreciating kenjaku this season. physics defying hair, a thirst for all experimental sorcery and science, constantly looking like a cat that’s about to smugly knock over a glass

more of This, now with Even More Lydia (now that I can draw her decently-)

shes not keen on the beach despite her dads insistence the sun would be good for her and cheer her up. luckily for her she found this gross fish washed up on the shore

beej has shades of ursula in this in that hes got weird ocean magic and can allow lydia to turn into a merperson- she doesnt agree for a while due to not trusting weird sea demons with ominous pacts but eventually gets fed up and relents. they have fun tormenting the local seaside town together

beejs main pitch to her in this au is like 'hey yknow what'd REALLY scare your dad. if you went missing at sea with me. cmon bestie' and when lyds stops entertaining this notion because as much fun as shes having, she doesnt really want to do that- he decides well IM going up on land then >:( and thats when he starts conspiring to make a second deal with her to Get Legs (and also maybe revenge on former friends who start ditching him)

something something im sure it’ll all work out in the end. until then, here’s some fish pals

an old man with many regrets: *creates a replica of a very dear person for him in the form of a doll to not forget what she looked like after she died - when photographies lacked quality and durability and he could not carve a statue or draw a painting - but certainly knew how to make mannequins since he knows how to make clothes*

an old man with many regrets: *also he wished (as tear gem loredrops to us) for the Doll to feel kindred emotions instead of being blank cold puppet she acts like, but that alas didn’t happen; yet deep down he probably wished to revive Maria - specifically that happy, kind version of her he didn’t ruin by teaching her to hunt and failing her with Fishing Hamlet mess yet*

some gremlin not knowing how human emotions work: EWWWWW this is literally objectification :/ why a victorian man in the setting where everyone lost their sanity could not grieve like a proper perfectly mentally sound person raised in progressive society of the modern west :/ should not be THAT hard :/ OBJECTS in the form of a WOMAN are really creepy and fucked up :/ anyways guys to put some positivity here is a plushie of the Plain Doll that I made :) her very existence is incredibly fucked up but I love her :))))))

I'm pretty sure even Poly people find our flag to be an eyesore. ~ A Poly Person

It's just

so saturated.

also the colours clash weirdly imo. Like the deep blue and bright red are not mixing together.

Loving all the Mine chat today! In a world where neither of them have Daigo to fixate on (for whatever reason) what do you think interactions between Mine and Masato/Aoki would be like? All your comics have them obv pitted against one another (always gives me a giggle gotta say!!) but I'm curious bout your thoughts on them/their potential interactions if Daigo wasn't part of the equation. I think they could be so evil together in whatever capacity. Real "I could make him worse" territory.

Sorry if this is a bit silly (I know removing Daigo removes a lot of other things too) I just love listening to you talk about guys ™️ lmao

i am a renowned Guy(TM) Talker this is a fair thing to assert

BUT honestly they'd probably like. not be friends or Sincerely get along but they'd probably use each other one way or another if given the opportunity: aoki wanting to exploit mine's skills, knowledge, and wealth, all the while mine At Least keeping an eye on aoki's influence (and if he wanted to do his homework probably keep tabs on the arakawas) and considering if it'll have potential use down the line. it's not like it's hard to imagine them having similar ideologies or morals either

mine'd absolutely loathe aoki's pride in his philosophy tho- even if it does align with his own somewhat LMAO

oof, super cute emo girl with big mushroom earrings working at the gas station, and then I saw her a couple of hours later at the walmart nearby 😩

That’s technically not off the mark- except replace pets with livestock. There’s been a lot of news articles about how vets sign off / condone the unethical and unsanitary conditions of factory farming - and those vets who try to speak out against it find themselves blacklisted / subject to retaliation from their colleague

this is a very interesting topic but i was really just referring to dogs/how people have convinced themselves that vets who recommend kibble for dogs are evil and just want money

i do think the normalization and comfort surrounding factory farming in the animal industry is...horrifying to say the least. i've gotten the opportunity to be around a lot of people in said industry who see nothing wrong with the way large commercial farms are set up, all because it falls within animal welfare guidelines they created to be bare bones in the first place. its honestly sickening to see people boast their progress in animal welfare when i've seen first hand what they define as "welfare".

that's not to say some parts of it aren't improving - but like 90% of the industry is heavily resistant to seeing new opinions from young people who have the potential to change things for the better - a lot of which i can imagine are vets who want to do what they signed up for, helping animals.

overall small animal vets and large animal/livestock vets are like, entirely different areas of specialty and are filled with very different people. its not surprising to me that theres livestock vets who refuse to see change

i don't like content creators being a presence in the fandom space, i dont want their takes on it, i do not need their permission to draw art or write fanfic, i am insulted whenever it's offered to me, and i CERTAINLY dont want to hear about how weird and gross they think it all is

that being said, i think bdubs trying to be included in hermittwt is really funny, and when he said he told etho all about it and etho gagged, i was like
