Yes I hate Stanford Pines with all my heart and it I ever met him it would be ON SIGHT. Yes, I am also writing a gay sex fic about him and the triangle...what about it.

[basket-of-radiants]

Ok hi!!!! I love all your takes on the characters and it's rlly interesting! I also think moash is a very nuanced and fascinating character. I'm kinda mad at him after he tried to convince Kal to k!ll himself but I think he's a great charcter with lots of depth and your pinned post was so interesting because it said so much about moash! Anyway sorry bye!!!

Hello!!! Thank you!! I apologize for inflicting that post on you, but I'm glad you read/enjoyed it! ty for letting me know <3<3<3

Oof I'm kinda scared to ask... Why do you not want to be an artist professionally?

Its just like, incredibly miserable in my experience.

Everyone wants their dream job of being paid to draw whatever the hell they want but 99% of the time you are hired and tasked to draw things that you don't have a lot of interest in, professionally speaking, and constantly getting your artistic efforts undermined by the rest of the team (this is esp. true in the videogame industry) artists always try to push for better designs and get their takes watered down for the sake of general public pleasing. Also you don't have a security blanket unless you're under long term contract. Most freelancers live gig to gig with the fear of not being able to support themselves if they don't take a job to take a break. Videogame and movie jobs arent stable because companies never keep the art teams, they are laid off and rehired whenever there is a new project

During my major, I drew nonstop for 4 years for class. Not always things I enjoyed, but also not always things I didnt like. In fact I enjoyed my major immensely! It was so fun. But the burnout is very, very real, and the workload was similar (even inferior to) regular art jobs. What happens if you like to draw in your off time? You spend your days making and pumping out art nonstop for hours, and then on your free time breaks you draw some more? I personally couldn't do it. I just wanted to do other things

And like.... I spent the first three years being told by teachers (people with stable, contract based jobs) how cool of a job it is to do art, and then the last year getting grilled on how insanely hard it is to make it out there. If you don't have connections, money, an audience, a studio, it's actually impossible. You need to be your own lawyer, abide by the very strict self employment rules that take a severe chunk out of your earnings. Do all of your finance/schedule/marketing etc while on top of that constantly producing work (I know there's people who can do it but, personally, I cannot) I really admire the people who were able to build themselves up as artists from the ground like this (because its definitely possible, just insanely hard)

Also, making something you love into your job ends up being miserable too. I experienced this with patreon, which I posted to as like a chill thing and it just got increasingly hard to make content for it or just post in general, even drawing my own ocs and sharing stuff about them started to feel like a chore.

Maybe it's just me though, this has just been my personal experience but yeah in general I realized I am immensely happier just keeping art as a hobby or its gonna suck my soul out (Since I already experienced it)

I don't mean to discourage anyone, I think the world in general needs more artists. But for that we would need to actually be taken seriously and valued, which sadly we are not, at all. And if there's anyone reading that is considering art as a job: it is absolutely grueling. It's not an easy job. Even if you desperately love art it can suck the life out of you and the joy for what you do

(As an extra sidenote. Artists are usually exploited using this mentality as well. That they are supposed to love their job. So they expect you to work your wrists off "For the passion". Dont fall victim to it)

I hope everyone with a para that is D/deaf has a great day

Announcing: Haunted Holy and Divine

Azriel lived closer than most.

True shadow, true ice, true unmoving mountain stone. He walked the realm of whispers and long ago forgotten secrets more than he ever had the Court of Night. The dead held onto to nothing but their stories, their songs, their singular driving desires, and in that too, Azriel belonged more in their pitch black cold than the waking world.

The Court of Dreams.

It had meant something, once, to serve the Dreaming Throne.

A hope a hundred voices warned him was wrong, would not last, would not linger- long before his own dreams filled with innocent screams, Azriel had known goddamn well he’d sold his soul to the wrong man.

Five centuries and fifty years in a cage without the sky, he knew every secret of the City of Starlight. Everything that haunted his High Lord. Every way out, every way in, every wasted excess, useless crime, hollow benediction.

Every bruise, on Nesta Archeron’s immortal body.

Frigid winter without end, frost so very thick. Black bruises on her pale skin, lavender light when the sun hit her, cool as a corpse. Death could not hide her beautiful face from Azriel, no matter how she tried.

Maybe he had never had a soul to sell at all, but Azriel had never forgotten his first god.

Would never forget, how those of his own number had treated her.

i don’t condone cheating or ghosting but what else was simon supposed to do? he tried to break up with marcus and was manipulated into staying in a relationship he didn’t want and wasn’t ready for

as lovesick and selfish as wille was this season/end of last season he accepted the end of their relationship. when simon broke up with him he was obviously sad but he accepted it and (although it took him some time) eventually moved on in s2. hell even before he moved on he didn’t do any of the guilt tripping marcus does. as selfish as wille was he was always honest with his intentions and that’s more than i can say for marcus

i truly went into this season ready to defy the odds and not hate marcus but even when wille was selfish and hurting people with his actions he still showed how much he cared even if he was being petty. like when simon rebuffed his attempts at touching him and rekindling their old relationship without solving anything wille backed off. was he petty about it and made snide comments (‘is it okay if i sit here? i know how much you value your space’) but he still respected the touch boundary simon had set. he tried to let simon go after he realized he was happy with marcus. hell he even made polite small talk with marcus to show simon that he accepted their relationship because he’s learned that actions speak louder than words. as much as it was killing him he thought letting simon go was what was best for both of them so he was willing to do it

unlike marcus who preyed on simons insecurities and told him what he wanted to hear to keep him in the relationship. the way he blanked simon’s attempt to break up with him will never sit right with me

wille might have been selfish for not wanting to let simon go but marcus was more selfish for actively preventing simon from leaving

[grey-wind]

okay just to be clear be very fuckin careful with the wildlife

i assume you already know but a lot of things will try to kill you

[GW]: I know that. I know that very well- Do you think I haven't thoroughly studied my local wildlife?

[GW]: And even if I didn't, do you REALLY think an infant slugcat would be a threat to me?

[GW]: I am not in the mood to be assumed clueless.

[GW]: Where do you people keep coming from, anyways? It seems I've amassed quite the audience...

[ekholocationn]

Hi Ekho! What is Pira's opinion on all of the known Overlords?

Oooooh hmmmm lemme think. I don't know all of them by name, and the ones I dont know the names of we dont have enough personality to go off of, so ill just do the few i know

vox: do i even need to say anything here /lh

velvette: fairly neutral! tho she doesnt enjoy the times velvette tries to rope her into a selfie. at least velvette Tries to run her department well enough

valentino: hates his ass. holy shit. but she tries to keep herself composed around him bc she knows that a) vox can rein him in eventually and b) val has more power than she does so she could get herself in some serious trouble if she really lashes out. val does frequently push her to the edge very easily no matter how hard she tries to keep herself calm. motherfucker Knows what hes doing and does it anyway because yknow. It's Val.

alastor: very much a pain, she doesn't hate him as much as val or have that strong rival feeling like vox does but she still doesnt like him. sees him as more of an obstacle than anything, cuz the more time vox spends obsessing over him is less time he's focusing on running his company which means more work for her probably

rosie: probably doesn't feel too strongly one way or another. tho she knows rosie has connection to alastor so pira probably avoids her

carmilla: I can see her viewing carmilla as just someone voxtek occasionally does business with, nothing major. probably also thinks she's a bit of hypocrite for being in the weapon buisness and yet wanting to avoid war. though she DEFINITELY would have been intrigued when velvette brought news of the dead exorcist

zestial: Uhhhh i dont know much about him to make a huge call either way. i can see her being a little bit afraid of him though. like not to a huge degree just kinda unsettled by him

I'll be real she probably. doesnt care for any of the other overlords too much. like theyre just kinda there for her. which sucks bc i love rosie and carmilla a lot LMAOOOO she mostly deals with the vees anyway

thank you for the tag @albonoooo <333

star sign: leo (attention whore signs 4 the win)

favourite holiday: my neighborhood does neighbor day every year and that’s a solid percentage of my favorite childhood memories. my neighborhood is very very close (very much so an “it takes a village” mentality) so i grew up with essentially twenty aunts and uncles. and also like ten dogs and thirteen vaguely cousin-esque figures on my block. anyways it’s like a massive potluck barbecue thing, it goes from like noon to whenever the last person heads in (which can be quite late). think like. potluck barbecue to casual day drinking to big bonfire w smores as the day goes by. as a kid i spent the whole day roaming the neighborhood and coming back every so often to grab food from the tables before heading off again. as an adult i got to get drunk on seltzers with a bunch of 50 somethings and it was incredible

last meal: omg it was my last ohio meal… i got it from this really special like local version of sonic’s (like a drive up food place). they make their burgers w a little bit of brown sugar and mashed banana (they’re the best burgers i’ve ever had). so i had a double hamburger w fries and a mint shake w brownie spindled in. if you’re ever driving through ohio PLEASE hit me up to get this place’s name it’s GLORIOUS. 1980s pricing (admittedly 80s portions too lol). neon signs everywhere. what i will miss the most

current favourite musician: i tend to just hit play on my liked songs so whatever i liked most recently gets played wayyyy more. a lot of the backseat lovers rn

last music listened to: mama’s gun by glass animals (BANGER OF A SONG!!!)

last movie watched: the muppet christmas carol i think . yeah according to letterboxd that lmfao

last tv show watched: i just binged monarch: legacy of monsters w my parents (amazing godzilla tv show but godzilla’s only in it for like. 10 minutes total lol. gay people <3) and then we started lockwood & co tonight on a whim

last book/fic finished: the invisible library by genevieve cogman !!! so good. librarian spy thieves…

last book/fic abandoned: oh gosh. i am such a completionist that i don’t think i ever leave books unfinished. technically i won’t be able to finish the masked city (the sequel to the invisible library) bc it belongs to the library and i am moving. but i will be picking it back up as soon as i have a library card in my new area so? does that even count? yeah i don’t really dnf things

currently reading: the masked city by genevieve cogman technically. lol. i’m trying to read at least a page a day in january. some days that means literally reading a page other days it’s reading 300. since i started the masked city like four days ago ive only made it through 30 pages bc moving is a nightmare so.

last thing researched for writing/art/hyperfixation: hm. technically for the last thing i like posted that would be the drug testing guidelines for f1 (tldr fun fact party drugs are fine out of competition). i read like. 60 pages of legalese. and a bunch of medical stuff and then several wikipedia pages and guides for athletes. the last wikipedia article i opened was for NATO and i have no idea why LOL

favourite online fandom memory: i have the memory of a goldfish… i’m also pretty sure f1 is the first time i’ve been involved w a fandom like. as it’s happening. i’m usually a latecomer . i did enjoy whatever the fuck went down w supernatural and putin that was fun second hand (literally thru a groupchat bc i was in my significantly less terminally online era aka i was in college)

favourite old fandom you wish would drag you back in/have a resurgence: newsies (1992) my beloved… i plotted out a fic that would stretch over like. 40 years. i went INSANE on historical accuracy research. and then i got depressed… someday my magnum opus (slice of life polyamory through turn of the century nyc) will come to fruition

favourite thing you enjoy that never had an active or big fandom, but you wish it did: i feel like there’s been a million times i’ve walked out of a movie (or finished a book, or a tv show) and gone to ao3 and then it has like. 4 works. the rivers of london series by ben aaronovitch only has like . 1k fics on ao3. and not a lot of ppl posting on tumblr. so maybe that?

tempting project you're trying to rein in/don't have time for: all of them tbh… runners au really (it’s spawned into like three different fics of plot lines Plus an epistolary type companion…). i literally constantly come up w ideas (usually hyper specific aus) all the time ask dees it’s a PROBLEM for me. bc i have no time for any of them…

no pressure tags if u wld like <3 @userkritaaay @leclercenjoyer @drivestraight @oscarpiastriwdc @eyes-likepilotlights (i have not paid a ton of attention to who has done this/been tagged sorry)

Y'know I think it could be interesting to write a thread where my little man just gets to go completely apeshit. The problem is it takes a LOT to get him to that point. But it can be done

[anoant-haikyuu-dump]

Hi! First of all, I LOVE your headcanons and posts, I think you capture their personalities very good.

I wanted to ask you if you accept requests for specific headcanons, and your rules. If not, it doesn't matter, of course, your headcanons are already awesome!

I hope you are having a good day!!

Hello!! Firstly thank you so much!! Writing characters too ooc is always a fear of mine so i'm relieved to hear that people like how i characterize them.

Second, I didn't intend for this account to be an ask page but after recieving a few I've really enjoyed answering! I don't know how good my replies will be for certain prompts but I can try my best. I'm open to most topics but I don't do NSFW or x reader things, also i'm not opposed to ship prompts but i can't promise they'll be good since i'm pretty hyperfixated on one in particular (you'll never guess who lmaoo). I lean towards shitposts over angst or super romatic stuff anyways, just a heads up.

In short feel free to send requests! I don't know if i'll be able to give a good answer to everything but I love interacting with the fandom and i'd be honored to share my thoughts :D If anything comes up that's off limits i'll update you guys.

I find it interesting that people don't like that gen 3 Clawdeen has glasses, but not with Clawdia. Maybe it's cause Clawdia's glasses were cute but idk

I think there are a few factors. Whether or not they're valid is kinda up to you.

For one, Clawdia was a pretty irrelevant character so it was kinda easy to ignore, and people for sure made jokes about the logistics of her wearing glasses back in the day. She only got two dolls, only showed up in a single movie, and I think only one webisode, so it wasn't something really worth dwelling on. MH Gen 1 also had a lot of quirky humor that didn't make total sense, but was still funny nonetheless.

But Clawdeen is the "main character" this time around, and not only that but she actually transforms from a human form to a wolf form and vice versa, where the position of her actual ears changes (hence my comic poking fun at it) so it adds a lot more confusion to the logic behind it. The live action didn't help because they couldn't just rely on "cartoon logic" ya know?

And Mattel themselves have been pretty inconsistent with it. Especially compared to Ghoulia, the other glasses wearing character. Her glasses have actual lenses, and her doll comes wearing them, where all of Clawdeen's dolls have them off to the side as though they're accessories, and they're just the frames. Hell, some of her dolls don't come with glasses at all, which brings into question whether she actually needs them. Which wasn't helped by this:

[Image Description: A screenshot of Garrett Sander's Instagram post of him holding a character trading card from Monster High: The Movie. It reads "Clawdeen Wolf Monster Type: Half Were-wolf/Half Human Abilities: Hyper hearing, vision, and agility; Claws, fangs, and an attitude to slay Signature Style: Fierce Animal Print, Faux Fur; Crescent Moons.]

Like this outright states she has amazing vision, which naturally would make one think she does wear them as nothing more than an accessory. (Granted I think most agree the first movie was a mess, not to mention a separate canon. And I'm sure in hindsight this would be retconned)

Lastly I think it was just a result of change. I would say Clawdeen has had the biggest change out of any of the characters (well...aside from Lagoona maybe) and people often have a hard time with change, especially when it comes to a character they love (myself included) Her glasses are probably the least egregious of her changes, but maybe the easiest to kinda poke fun at.
