*handling a skeleton* since we cannot know this individual's gender, I will refer to them with the gender neutral term 'bestie'

wilbur haters: lovejoy are using him, they don’t care about him, and they are actively making him worse

Lou Wilson is such a king, i first saw him on EXU Calamity and his character was so charismatic and full of life and power, and since then have watched all the D20 seasons he's been on (except pirates of leviathan, which is next on my watchlist after i finish the seven) - and now i realise Nydas's charisma is just lou!

not in a way that minimises lou's excellent acting and the different facets he brings to every character - but he just has this irresistible joy and enigmaticness that makes every character so much fun to watch

Chapter 4 of my Stizzy, Izzy-centric fic is up o/

Lots of angst in this chapter! I also took a few decisions and updated the tags accordingly so be sure to go through them again

Thank you to everyone who is following this story of mine 💚

If you've got no idea what I'm talking about, check out my other post about chapter 1

Been playing Metroid Dread and...

ADAM: "The planet is rapidly cooling due to the generator in Cataris malfunctioning."

Me: "Wait whoa, huh??? The *entire* planet? Is this a manufactured world? If so, why's it got dirt? Why's there an underground ocean? How's it making lava? Wha--"

ADAM: "Due to this rapid cooling, Artaria, which is closer to the core has frozen."

Me, a MASSIVE nerd: "THAT'S NOT HOW PLANETARY CORES WORK YOU FU-"

Just me, scrolling thru tumblr, watching Supernatural, thinking about Good Omens.

….is that too many? Perhaps. Am I going to stop adding to it in the near future? Absolutely not.

(Also if anyone wants some of the refs I use hmu, it’s mostly screencaps that I wanna redraw but there’s some more generally helpful stuff in there)

happy 3000 to band(it)!

to be honest i haven't thought about it for quite some time, but as i was going through my stats page a few weeks ago I noticed it was close, and well - lo and behold. thought maybe it was time for a little introspection.

in some ways it feels like the person who wrote that fic is so far divorced from the person who now commandeers thespiritscalling and writes tens-of-thousands-word aus on silly theatre stuff. some things change, some don't, etc - it's been such a wild amount of time since i even consumed newsies content at all. for one, i actually plan fics now and finish them before posting (the idea of writing myself into a corner and having it all published is horrifying, what was i thinking!!) and real moments slip in more subtly. even so i can read my dedication to hope and family inside this, even when i hadn't yet discovered that it would permeate every bit of me, and i must say it's quite comforting. knowing that those band camp shenanigans are somewhat immortalized and things are - at least for them - frozen in a state of hope and wellness.

i never got to finish my final year at band camp. i was there for about three days until a personal event brought me home again and soured summers for years to come. so in a way, band(it) was my last version of that camp. i find that just a little bit poetic. all the goofies that happened (and the many more that were just fantasies... how i wish spy day had been a real thing) now exist to remind me of the goodnesses, the exhilirations, and the overwhelming love inside those campus walls. so that's pretty cool.

anyway, thanks to band(it) for kickstarting my romance of multichapter fics, featuring my first (but not last and never only) self-insert npc because i'm self-indulgent like that, and as always helping me flex my word skills. love always.

neocities guide - why you should build your own html website

do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again? try neocities!!

what is neocities?

neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."

why should I make my own website?

web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

what would I even put on a website?

the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !! here are some cool example sites to inspire you: recently updated neocities sites | it can be fun to just look through these and browse people's content! space bar | local interstellar dive bar creature feature | halloween & monsters big gulp supreme peanutbuttaz | personal site dragodiluna linwood | personal site patho grove | personal site

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible
