[s0fter-sin]

people are acting like we’re saying creators shouldn’t be paid for their work; they absolutely should. and watcher already is. they have a patreon, they get sponsors, their videos regularly get millions of views which gives them ad revenue, they sell merch; they are getting paid. feeling indignant and disappointed that they’re asking us to pay for content we were already getting for free isn’t entitlement, it’s expected. ​they wanted to make bigger produced shows and now their budget can’t sustain it, that’s not on the viewer to make up for

*an in-game contradiction between Gortash and Durge. See: ‘Test Mission with Gortash’ and ‘Memoir Notes with Recent Addenda’. I’ve placed it after, but there’s also a legitimate argument to be made that Gortash and Durge met and became allies much earlier, possibly around the same time as Gortash’s betrayal of Karlach

Additionally, the House of Wonders (church/workshop) and the Hall of Wonders (museum) are two different buildings in the Upper City. Durge writes that the Hall is their target, while Gortash writes that the House is their target. It is my opinion that they hit both locations.

Hi chat, breaking the sonic chain to post a singular homestuck post because ive been thinking about moirail dynamics a lot. Don't follow me for homestuck though probably because this is the only one thats likely to break containment aside from maybe one other WIP in the future. Or do! I'm not your dad :]

[sirguyofdykesborn]

the monkey's paw finally curled and my stupid evil job doesn't provide as much as i need to move out and go live in the Sex Change town, so i'm opening comms!

my hipolink / how to use hipolink

[devine-fem]

“they’re exes to me-“ not in a ‘i dont like this ship way’ but in a i think these two characters did feel deeply for each other for a while and the flame burned bright but i feel like it burnt out specifically for these two and i think breakup angst would be very interesting to watch, i also think that the way these characters think about each other very much sounds like there was love there but there just isnt anymore, its not about them doing something cute so they should kiss, its more about they did that cute thing because they have kissed before in the past. i can see why you think it would be endgame but they’re not that to me personally.

[byler-alarmist]

I just think it'd be really poetic if Mike and Will were both using El as a cover during the van scene

[cfffrk]

+ little bonus

I think I accidentally created their son instead of Jeeves when I was drawing the first frame😭

DUDE I JUST CAME UP WITH SOMETHING FROM THE DUMBEST THING EVER.

So I was watching reck it Ralph: Ralph breaks the internet the other day and the only scene that matters showed up.

Where fun fact, He was supposed to join them in going into the internet with a couple other characters and I kept thinking about it during the whole movie.

idea. What if he visited Netflix and watched his own shows life events again! Like he watched sonic prime and feels some sort of relief that it was real, but some kind of confusion in reilising the rest of the world is watching too. Like a sonic Truman show of some kind.

But my main thought of it was how he would react to seeing shadow take care of him when his power was dwindling, we don’t know if he ever heard shadow say “hang on sonic!!” But him seeing it for himself would definitely make him appreciate shadow more in a way.

I dunno maybe the Sonadow brainrot is getting to be from one Camino in a wreck it Ralph movie but what do you think?

wdym this isn't how it went?

I ADOREEE THIS IDEA SM MK DBWJKEBDHKJWBD honestly Sonic carried the movies for me as a kid 😭still do I mean whagt

Love the idea that Arcade Sonic hasn't seen the internet since ITS CREATION, he's gonna have a fun time catching up. Especially with a certain show 😏😏😏😏RIGHT AFTER HE FINDS OUT WHAT NETFLIX IS--

(More doodles on the way sjwhwbsjwsb finals go brrrr)

[mulatto-macchiato]

When will the children arrive?

He spent everyday waiting and waiting but they never came.

He just hopes they're okay. He hopes he hasn't upset them.

(Full image under cut)

I LOVE painted backgrounds but I HATE painting backgrounds omg it took an entire day! And that was just painting. We ain't gonna talkin' about the sketches uggghh

Also, this one panel of a little bitty comic~

[canisalbus]

Have you considered selling merch? Some stickers pins or patches of the boys would go hard

.

[abisalli]

Would you give him a tip? (he’s working really hard I swear)

[kitteecassee]

care to join me? more on my private story 🧼

[shitpostingkats]

The world ends with you gave the depressed 2000s tweens so many gifts, and one of the greatest is introducing the player to a cast of fun, well rounded, and deeply human feeling background characters, only for the very premise of the game to be that all of these people are dead, leaving the player to grapple with the fridge horror and possibly fill in the blanks with their own ideas.

DRAW EVIL RAGATHA BEING SUPER PROTECTIVE OF POMNI

you… do you know? that bad girls? go to hell?

[dumbpilots]

bradley's been looking forward to this dinner reservation forever. it took four months to get his name on the list and it was only because he knew a guy who knew a guy. so when natasha calls him 30 minutes before their reservation to say she can't come (impeccable timing, really), bradley's not only disappointed, he's pissed.

"nat there's a $200 hold on my credit card that they're going to charge if i cancel this late!"

"i'm sorry bro. there's no way i can get there in time. anyone else you can take? or put on your big boy pants and eat dinner by yourself."

"they'll still charge me $100 for one person cancelling, nat. you better venmo me for this." he hangs up on her.

---

and that's how bradley finds himself loitering outside the restaurant, scoping out unsuspecting passerbys, looking for his mark.

he asks a total of four people (#1 "dude, no?", #2 completely ignored, #3 "sorry, not interested", #4 "ew, creep") before he starts to get hopeless. the reservation has already started and he only has a 10 minute window before he's out $200. just as he's about to call it a loss and head inside to the restaurant, he locks eyes with him. well, here's goes nothing.

"excuse me! i'm so sorry to bother you, but i have quite an insane ask."

"oh yeah? shoot." his eyes are sparkling. don't ruin this, bradshaw.

"well, i made reservations with a friend to this restaurant here." he points behind him. "but she just cancelled on me. they're going to charge me $100 if i go in alone, or $200 in about... seven minutes if i don't go in at all."

"ahh... sounds like quite the predicament." bradley can feel his eyes on him.

"soo.. what do you say? fifteen, twenty minutes tops of your time and a drink on me?"

"you got yourself a date. i'm jake." he quirks a smile and extends his hand.

"bradley." he has a good feeling about this.

---

one drink turns into three, the food tastes like paper for all he knows. he's too busy concentrating on the new language that is jake seresin.

(bradley's pockets are much lighter when they leave, but they burn with the weight of jake's phone number)
