#especially not me

Thought of this meme and had to make this because it's accurate to what these two have going on. The art belongs to @maudiemoods (as does beings made of stardust Eclipse)! And the fic Signs of Life is mine.

Can't help but adore these two. Eclipse is really going through it (as he should) and Scientist y/n is too cute for their own good!

why would you curse me with the burden of that AWFULLL vaultghoul art. i've never wanted my eyes to be bleached more than i have in this moment

Thanks for supporting my art, it means a lot to me!

I have a ko-fi if you’d like to donate money for art supplies and lessons 🙂

I’m so curious why you sent this in anonymously, though! Seems like you have a lot of art knowledge and skills that you are desperate to share with the world, and it’s really just too bad that we’ll never know your secrets.

Reddit has a great eye bleach subreddit I highly recommend you check out—that is if you haven’t already done so with actual bleach.

Im so sorry your heart is that full of hate that you had to anonymously message a stranger such an awful comment in an attempt to make them feel as bad as you do ☹️ sad for you!! Jokes on you because I am fueled by spite and will only create more shitty Ghoulcy art to my hearts content. Next time just block and move on with your day✌️

The shuck quirked an incredulous smile, "What's got you so tickled?"

"I'm going to have bird spys." he cackled still calming slowly, palm scrubbing at his normally somber, but currently filled with mirth eyes "When they learn something I can literally say a little bird told me." It seemed without the shackles of professionalism and the trust the shuck had earned revealed the body guard had a sense of humor after all.

The John Hughes Blues Pt. 7

<- prev | find it on AO3! | next ->

To put it plainly, Steve is hurt. He’s hurt, and frustrated, and upset, and really fucking angry. He had trusted Eddie, that little shit, he had trusted him with things he had never told anyone else. He felt fucking betrayed, that’s what it was. The one person in the whole world he thought he could trust— Poof. The one person who knew the extent of fucked up his relationship was with his parents, the one person who had held him through the nights when he thought he just couldn’t take it anymore, the one person that had saved him from nightmares again and again, and in doing so saved him from the Upside Down countless times. Never-fucking-mind, apparently. No, he gets blown off like none of that mattered, like it never fucking happened. Whatever. Whatever.

He worries the turmoil in his head has started affecting his actions, or at least Robin worries about that. To be fair, he has been rather… irritable lately, quick with what he calls snarky, Robin calls mean comments, he’s been short and sometimes vaguely threatening with customers, and in general he’s just been a pain to be around. Or so Robin says.

“I’m just so fucking sick of it!” Steve grits his teeth, slamming the drawer under the counter where they keep their magazines and crossword puzzles. “I kept getting these… these… mixed fucking signals,but whenever I tried making a move he’d pull back, and now… now this?! Are you kidding me?! I thought he liked me! I thought I liked him! What the fuck?!”

He hears Robin groan. He knows she’s been subjected to this same conversation an awful lot recently, and he knows that while she was happy he was opening up and being more “honest with himself” in the beginning, she’s also made it clear they passed that stage ages ago. Now she’s just plain sick of it.

“Oh, for crying out loud! Just do something about it then, birdbrain! Or at least stop whining to me about it, Christ. And stop slamming things!” She whacks his hand. Through his rage, Steve’s hit with a moment of clarity. Oops. Maybe he had taken it too far.

He takes a deep breath. “Shit, sorry Rob, I didn’t mean to, I’ll stop talking about it. I’ve subjected you to it enough.”

She sighs. “We both know that’s a lie, Steve-o.”

He bumps her shoulder. “Yeah, maybe. But for now, want me to take a turn rewinding?”

“God yes.”

As he sits down, he thinks a little more about what she had suggested. Go talk to him about it? Now that was an idea…

Ha... hahhh... whaddaya mean it’s been over two years without a Godlings update? You’d forgotten it even existed, you say? Well, uh...

*coughs*

Here’s Page 19. For no reason. There is no logic as to why my brain chose this week to randomly finish this page. And I am ABSOLUTELY not promising any further pages beyond this. BUT. Because I don’t plan to continue this (regularly) and I cannot even promise you will ever see the end of this issue, I will soon be posting the entire 19 page run as it stands now WITH DIALOGUE. It will be following on the heels of this post.

So, uhh... surprise?

The amount of people who think its "activism" to yell at themed blogs for going by the name of the character its themed after is honestly embaressing lmao

Like idk how yall remember others but i litterally make up a nickname in my head based on urls. Also,lowkey, as long as your respectful and not weird about it, you can litterally go by any name from any culture ever.

Names and languages are not a part of "closed culture" and the amount of white people i know who scream at litterally anyone going by a name not of their cultures is dumb as fuck.

You like the name deku and arnt asian? Who gives a fuck. You like the name onacona and you arnt cherokee? Who gives a fuck.

The only time yall white folk care about people going by names of a different culture is when its ethnic. It has nothing to do with culture lmao. Irish people go by greek names. Germans go by english names. Franks go by polish names. Yall only care when you think you'll get some poc brownie points for calling out an anime fan for going by naruto or some shit.

No one cares. Get a fucking life. This is the intenet.

the funniest part of any Robin meeting the JL is that every Robin is so distinctly different from the previous one in terms of personality and vibes that the league literally gets backlash. and like, I don't blame them. not to mention that they are non-meta children that dress as a traffic light and fight crime alongside batman in gotham on a nightly basis. i'd also be a bit concerned. Batman, literally The Night of Gotham personified in the League's eyes, coming into a JL meeting: This is Robin, my crime-fighting partner. 11-year-old Dick Grayson, dressed in the brightest primary colours possible, vaguely hidden murder behind those eyes, never stops moving even for a moment: Hi! Superman: That's a child. That's-- Bats that is a child. You let a child--? Batman, deadpan: You try to stop him. Would you rather he try and murder a grown man with a wire?

Batman: This is Robin. 12-year-old Jason Todd, with the biggest grin on his face, about 3 books in his hand, stars in his eyes and a distinct street-kid drawl: Hey!!! Green Lantern: That's ... that's a different child. What?? Jason: I stole his tires :) Batman: Tried to. Jason, stage whispering to the League: basically did. Green Lantern: that is a different kid, right?? I'm not seeing shit??

Batman: This is Robin. 14-year-old Tim Drake, bo staff clutched in his hand, a wary and tired expression on his face, more on the quiet side, the literal walking definition of don't judge a book by it's cover: hello Flash: Where do you even find these-- Tim: I found myself.

Batman: This is Robin. 17-year-old Stephanie Brown, literally blonde, with a shit-eating grin, eyes full of nothing but mischief and the most explosive personality you've ever seen: hiya!! Superman: I give up. Stephanie: I know, I have that amazing effect on people.

Batman: This is Robin. 13-year-old Damian Wayne, a literal wet cat that will hiss at you, has a sword, the most judgemental stare you'll get from a teenager, ready to jump anyone there: Green Lantern: WHY DOES HE HAVE A SWORD?! Batman: ... he came with the sword.

how to find literally any post on a blog in seconds (on desktop)

there are so many posts about ~tumblr is so broken, you can’t find any post on your own blog, it’s impossible, bluhrblub~

I am here to tell you otherwise! it is in fact INCREDIBLY easy to find a post on a blog if you’re on desktop/browser and you know what you’re doing:

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant. every single post, every single time. in chronological order starting with the most recent post. note: it will not find #croissants or that time you made the typo #croidnssants. for a tag with multiple words, it’s just /tagged/my-croissant and it will show you everything with the exact phrase #my croissant

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant/chrono will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the exact phrase #croissant, but it will show them in reverse order with the oldest first 

url.tumblr.com/search/croissant isn’t as perfect at finding everything, but it’s generally loads better than the search on mobile. it will find a good array of posts that have the word croissant in them somewhere. could be in the body of the post (op captioned it “look at my croissant”) or in the tags (#man I want a croissant). it won’t necessarily find EVERYTHING like /tagged/ does, but I find it’s still more reliable than search on mobile. you can sometimes even find posts by a specific user by searching their url. also, unlike whatever random assortment tumblr mobile pulls up, it will still show them in a more logically chronological order

url.tumblr.com/day/2020/11/05 will show you every post on the blog from november 5th, 2020, in case you’re taking a break from croissants to look for destiel election memes 

url.tumblr.com/archive/ is search paradise. easily go to a particular month and see all posts as thumbnails! search by post type! search by tags but as thumbnails now

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio will show you every audio post on your blog (you can also filter by other post types). sometimes a little imperfect if you’re looking for a video when the op embedded the video in a text post instead of posting as a video post, etc

url.tumblr.com/archive/tagged/croissant will show you EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant, but it will show you them in the archive thumbnail view divided by months. very useful if you’re looking for a specific picture of a croissant that was reblogged 6 months ago and want to be able to scan for it quickly 

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio/tagged/croissant will show you every audio post tagged with the specific phrase #croissant (you can also filter by photo or text instead, because I don’t know why you have audio posts tagged croissant) 

the tag system on desktop tumblr is GENUINELY amazing for searching within a specific blog! 

caveat: this assumes a person HAS a desktop theme (or “custom theme”) enabled. a “custom theme” is url.tumblr.com, as opposed to tumblr.com/url. I’ve heard you have to opt-into the former now, when it used to be the default, so not everyone HAS a custom theme where you can use all those neat url tricks. 

if the person doesn’t have a “custom theme” enabled, you’re beholden to the search bar. still, I’ve found the search bar on tumblr.com/url is WAY more reliable than search on mobile. for starters, it tends to bring posts up in a sensible order, instead of dredging up random posts from 2013 before anything else

if you’re on mobile, I’m sorry. godspeed and good luck finding anything. (my one tip is that if you’re able to click ON a tag rather than go through the search bar, you’ll have better luck. if your mutual has recently reblogged a post tagged #croissant, you can click #croissant and it’ll bring up everything tagged #croissant just like /tagged/croissant. but if there’s no readily available tag to click on, you have to rely on the mobile search bar and its weird bizarre whims)

changes and trends in horror-genre films are linked to the anxieties of the culture in its time and place. Vampires are the manifestation of grappling with sexuality; aliens, of foreign influence. Horror from the Cold War is about apathy and annihilation; classic Japanese horror is characterised by “nature’s revenge”; psychological horror plays with anxieties that absorbed its audience, like pregnancy/abortion, mental illness, femininity. Some horror presses on the bruise of being trapped in a situation with upsetting tasks to complete, especially ones that compromise you as a person - reflecting the horrors and anxieties of capitalism etc etc etc. Cosmic horror is slightly out of fashion because our culture is more comfortable with, even wistful for, “the unknown.” Monster horror now has to be aware of itself, as a contingent of people now live in the freedom and comfort of saying “I would willingly, gladly, even preferentially fuck that monster.” But I don’t know much about films or genres: that ground has been covered by cleverer people.

I don’t actually like horror or movies. What interests me at the moment is how horror of the 2020s has an element of perception and paying attention.

Multiple movies in one year discussed monsters that killed you if you perceived them. There are monsters you can’t look at; monsters that kill you instantly if you get their attention. Monsters where you have to be silent, look down, hold still: pray that they pass over you. M Zombies have changed from a hand-waved virus that covers extras in splashy gore, to insidious spores. A disaster film is called Don’t Look Up, a horror film is called Nope. Even trashy nun horror sets up strange premises of keeping your eyes fixed on something as the devil GETS you.

No idea if this is anything. (I haven’t seen any of these things because, unfortunately, I hate them.) Someone who understands better than me could say something clever here, and I hope they do.

But the thing I’m thinking about is what this will look like to the future, as the Victorian sex vampires and Cold War anxieties look to us. I think they’ll have a little sympathy, but they probably won’t. You poor little prey animals, the kids will say, you were awfully afraid of facing up to things, weren’t you?
