that girl:

that girl you’re so desperately jealous of,

that girl whose arms and legs are like sticks,

that girl who looks slim from every angle,

that girl who is perfect,

you can be that girl,

and soon if you start today.

So what’s Merrin’s dynamic with the paddies (Padawans)? We know she’s good with kids (re, Kata), and she’s been showing them witchcraft and whatnot, but is she a legit teacher, or is she more just cool aunt vibes? Like, I see Alela being SUPER obsessed with her.

Also, brief but necessary sidenote, your art’s genuinely amazing, been obsessed with tl4j for a while 💜💜💜

aw thank you so much!!!! her dynamic's fun and interesting bc she's not quite a teacher but she's also not quite NOT a teacher. in teacher limbo. tho definitely teaches the kids abt nightsister stuff and alternative paths of the force (the new jedi are very well-rounded!!)

AND YES alela totally loves Merrin (she's so cool and pretty and funny!). her bestie dar'shana's interested in Merrin bc fellow Zabrak (even if different planets) and bc she finds Nightsister lore SUPER interesting. but Alela's main interest comes from how shipping ppl is one of her main personality traits and Merrical are cuter than the cheesiest of holoromances <3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BESTEST BOY,

CAL!!!!

Im so sad I wasnt able to finish the piece I was drawing for this day, alas I was fighting for my life

so have this old drawing I never uploaded of the birthday boy

[coridallasmultipass]

HAPPY 413! Here's more of the [non-Sburb AU] Filipino/multiracial Striders I write and draw. Bitter melon was on sale in the store, so I bought a ton, and I was like, 'How can I make this Homestuck content?' Lol. I like the taste, but I thought it would be funny to have Bro bully Dave into eating it as a punishment for being a sneaky vegetable-hating teen. (Good thing Lil Cal is always there to keep an eye on him when Bro is out.)

Idk, mostly wanted to draw the food, bc bitter melon looks so fun when it's sliced like that.

Bro and Dave are both trans men.

Image text below cut:

[Dave walks in on Bro cooking. Lil Cal is seated at the table already.] Dave: the fuck- what are you cooking Bro: Ginisang ampalaya. Heard you're not eatin' your veggies. Dave: cal... fuckin snitch Bro: HEY. Dave: seriously what is that alien dick Dave: ugh its all bumpy too Bro: Bitter melon. It tastes like cucumber skin, but has a better texture. Dave: fuckin gross Bro: What, are you a fuckin' pussy? Too white to try pagkaing Pilipino? ["Filipino food"] Dave: damn right if it involves warty dick-cumbers Dave: aint filipino no more Dave: gonna have to hog the white genes on this Bro: Here. Prob want some cock sauce on that. [The food has crisp bitter melon, melted tomatoes, and scrambled eggs.] Dave: ugh do i have to eat it Bro: Yes. [Everyone is seated at the table. 'Cock sauce' is Sriracha because of the rooster on the bottle.] Dave: oh its not bad Dave: ... [The bitterness sets in.] Lil Cal: HAA HAA Dave: is this even edible Bro: Sure is. [Bro eats it normally.] And if I hear you're not eating your vegetables... Well, I'll just have to cook more of the same thing dad used to make me. There's enough to last all week. Dave: ...fuck Bro: Eat up. It's healthy. Dave: please dont make me eat this Dave: ill eat any other vegetables ok? just not this Bro: That's what I wanna hear. But you're still finishing this one. For throwing out all that food. Dave: ugh END.

the moment where mare realises both calore brothers chose the crown over her and her people<<<<

Belphie coming into and having to deal with the drawbacks of his sin would be so debilitating.

We know that in the celestial realm his favorite hobby seemed to be having a good old snooze, a little afternoon nap up in a tree. But, from what we know, that was also voluntary.

Imagine it wasn't.

Imagine all of the sudden you're tired all of the time, you're sluggish and your body feels heavy. No matter how much sleep you get you still wake up feeling like you could topple over at any minute. All you want is more sleep, a chance to hopefully wake up feeling refreshed but no matter how much you sleep that feeling never comes.

The fact that Belphie is so tired all of the time that he could just drop at any given moment is actually pretty alarming.

It gets waved off a lot and played for comedic value (so do all of the brother's sins let's be honest). It almost seems to be expected because Belphie is the seventh born, "the spoiled younger brother." And of course his sin, sloth, is associated with laziness. But if Beel experiences hunger bouts that can literally cause him to go berserk from the pain, and Satan has such extreme episodes of anger that also cause him to wreck house, it stands to reason that Belphie could also be suffering from some form of chronic fatigue - which is not an easy thing to deal with.

Being that chronically fatigued also means you're far more prone to sensory overload - which Belphie has shown he has issues dealing with loud noises and big crowds. Not to mention it can also start causing joint and muscle pain.

So yeah, sleepy little man might be sleepy, but it's also not like he has any other options.

OKKOTOBER 2022 - Outfit Swap

So this started out as a simple desire to draw Venomous and Boxman in the other’s outfit from Villains’ Night Out, and then I started imagining a whole scenario around it. 😆

Now married, these two decide to crash one of Billiam’s yacht parties playing the role of the other. So now it’s PV’s turn to ruin the evening! 😈

Bonus points if crashing Billiam’s party was part of their honeymoon plans lmao

[Fun extra thing under the cut ♥]

After the Mindflayer Billy was quick to realise that it was easier to live with extremes. He'd blast the heater till he's sweat-soaked and he'd walk till his legs ached and he'd chalk it up to making himself feel a little more alive. Ignored that it all made him a little more brittle instead.

Max claimed that Billy was transparent. Stole his alcohol and cigarettes and hung his car keys from the door handle. Demanded grocery shopping and movie nights and refused to let his small, run down trailer remain empty. It was filled with Max even when she was gone. To-do lists on the fridge. Arcade tokens down the back of sofa cushions.

Steve Harrington's number next to the phone.

The front room was bathed in yellow, and the windows were a portal of nothingdarknessalone, like Billy was suspended in the void--again. Everything narrowed down to his own small existence blotted out by the pressure of a phantom mind. Alone, except for the imprints. Another extreme. So Billy pushed himself to the other end.

He leaned into the threadbare sofa, listened to the dial tone. Bit his lip. Felt the craving for a cigarette.

"Hello?"

His voice like a lightning strike.

"Hey. It's Billy. Hargrove." Billy winced.

"Hey man. Max told me you'd call."

"Meddling shit--how long ago was that?"

"A few weeks. Honestly, I was beginning to doubt her."

"Sorry to keep you waiting pretty boy. You know how it is, I'm a busy man."

Billy pulled together the edges of whoever he was before, but he felt more like an imitation.

"Sure, sure. The babes have been out in droves. So, what did you want?"

"You free tomorrow night? There's only so much I can talk to Max about before she gags, and according to Hawkins High you're the only cool thing around here."

Billy didn't realise how much he wanted before he said it, or for how long. It unspooled out into the silence that followed. Tangled and tangled as he searched for the hows and whys. He counted, breathed.

"Listen--I don't think that's a good idea. Have we ever had an actual conversation? It's only ever been posturing between us Hargrove, we'd be shit friends."

"You're right," he knew he'd ruin it somehow. Billy tried, he always did, before, but it was always under some misguided belief. He didn't know enough of himself after to notice if it still held true. Didn't know if he could change so fundamentally. "Sorry. Night."

"Fuck," it was a whisper, a sigh, a gasp. Resignation, or shock. "A trial run. Come over to Family Video tomorrow. Bring me lunch. And then I'll think about it."

Billy smiled and it felt a little less weary, a little less brittle. "Do I get a discount?"

"I don't put out on the first date."

He's burning, flames licking at raw nerves, and the neighbour's dog is barking and the moon is a flash of silver and it's another extreme, but he's alive.

*Clearing throat*

Random BUT May I hear your thoughts on roommate satoru?

i got this at work yesterday and GENUINEEELLLYYY tweaked out..

i said this last night and it goes doubly for roommate / housemate katsuki but whenever u mention other friends he gets a little weird. other friends? wdym other friends we're all we need?????? like... oddly possessive of u.

and of course, he's attractive and he knows it and he can kind of tell you think so too from the way you avert your eyes when he gets out of the shower, low-hanging towel revealing a happy trail of silver hair going up his tummy. satoru teases you and at first it's just fun, like playing with a toy.. but it becomes more than that... insufferable. and suguru TOLD HIM not to fuck his roommate because it's going to cause problems but honestly... he's starting to want to disregard that advice.

i also think that he's the type to just lay down in ur bed and be generally clingy like "oh, it's comfy in here, let me in" or make two servings of whatever food he's cooking unless supplies are limited and the food is precious, in which case he'll throw a fit until your pouting makes him cave.

clean tho!! he's def clean, which is good. i can't imagine gojo letting a space get disgusting / too dirty.

anyway... biggest trait of roommate gojo is that he's possessive and defensive of your... friendship. his roommate. his friend. his thing to tease. what do you mean you're going out on a date? he's following u to the restaurant in a disguise.

wanted to post this meme i made awhile ago but i completly forgot hhhh

this is practically a summary of my every playthrough LMAO

Tw below: rant and opinions

lil fun fact bout my playthoughs! i actually never had Tammy and Cal date, not even once. i accidently spoiled myself about their potential relationship long before i got the game, and since i had my eyes set on Cal i was like "like hell i'll let that happen". Plus in my opinion i feel like they're much, much happier apart, especially Tammy since i feel like she's the happiest when she's poly rather than with Cal. I know many people feel really guilty about "breaking them up" (also i feel like everyone is exagerrating quite a lot about the severity of preventing them from dating, honestly) and i'm probably the only person here who didn't feel a speck of guilt while coming between them each playthrough so i can date Cal (no idea what this says about me as a person but i digress). It's a process but it's worth it since they both end up happy (maybe even happier!) in the epilouge with their own family units, it always makes me happy when i read the line where Tammy gushes to Sol that she's the happiest she has ever been when she's poly and not with Cal, and meanwhile Cal and Sol have children and grow old together.

whew, sorry for ranting but i had to get this off my chest, remember this is just my own experience and my own opinion, if you like them together, that's fine! personally, i don't, i don't think they're a good fit for each other, and guess what? that's fine too! everyone has their opinions at the end of the day and this is mine. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk *drops mic*
