can i just say that every time i (re)read it had to be you i feel this yearning in my chest cause its so beautifully written. like all your steve fics are magnificent dont get me wrong i love sketch and keeps as well. its just that it had to be you is my current hyperfixation and i want to thank you for its existence

Dearie, you blessing, you beauty, I needed to hear this today.

I am honored that you've giving even one of my stories a shot, but to know someone is reading multiple fics and rereading some multiple times? Ack, I just...

I get so nervous. I am so nervous all the time, yes, but after posting, after things have sat for a while, I always wonder if I could have done better or made it better. IHTBY was my first foray into a true AU, where Steve is not Cap and he has no powers, so to make him still him without those things honestly felt like threading a needle. It felt like writing someone with imposter syndrome while having imposter syndrome. I had fun writing it, sure, but most of the time it didn't feel right in a way that...I can't actually describe.

I can't believe I created something for someone else to fixate on (in a nice way). That's really unexpected and cool!

I'm hugging you for too long now. Feel it?

#ro answers #hoarded niceties #except aren't you proud of me I didn't hoard it at all!#hey progress is progress #hope my brain stops bouncing around so I can update all of the things people are being very nice and patient about #reread anon

The Yiling Band Tour!

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #wen qing #wen ning #digital art #animation #This was a fun style experiment and a good lesson in 'hey you have less than a week to make this project. You cannot be a perfectionist'.#Right now - posting these slightly upgraded frames is really helping me stay motivated through the learning grind.#But progress is happening! I'm so excited to show it off when it's done!#Someone with a very discerning eye might be able to figure out what I'm doing with just this one frame. I will take the risk.#That aside; I often think about how the nature of cultivators in MDZS's world also entailed knowing about other art forms.#Meaning that Wen Qing and Wen Ning likely were good musicians and artists.#We know WWX is also good in art and music so...really...what was stopping them from forming a band?#Allow me to pitch this AU: Yiling Opera company AU. WWX and the Wen remnants form a performing trope and tour towns and cities.#Not only do they find a way to keep on the move (no home...only the road and the people around you).#But you also get to be in costume - which is a socially appropriate way to always be in disguise.#Yiling Laozu would thus be a character and/or WWX's stage name.#Would he be good at keeping it a secret? Hard to say with WWX! I think it would be a poorly-kept secret at best.#He likes to brag and show off a bit too much. This many would be either the worst or best spy.#Consider the drama of JC losing his mind over his ex-brother becoming a clown. Imagine JC Getting his ass kicked by said clown.#Imagine the delectable secret identity drama potential of Lan Wangji stumbling upon the trope's performances.#We did not get nearly enough of the secret identiy drama in MDZS canon. I need more of it.#I need that man conflicted with his feelings for the same person. I need them playing mind games with each other at all times.

Miguel is the plan guy in this triad (however useless it is with a chaos incarnate in it) and he'll make sure of it one bad fashion statement at a time.

sorry but most books "for fans of gideon the ninth" do NOT engage with gothic lit themes are NOT that funny do NOT have half as many bonkers plot twists and largely do not even have the same number of lesbians either. to be fair it's difficult to physically fit in as many characters per book as tazmuir does so I can excuse this on the basis that not everyone wants to write a 400-page space opera. but if that's not what you're writing then commit to writing something else!!

#commit to your own bit!!!#okay can i say something now that you're here. i do actually think the comparison of some desperate glory to tlt was like Fine #no it's not as good or nearly as coherent in themes or plot progression #however. it did make me go 'hey. what?'#the element of committing to the bit was there and i respect it for that #it was a swing and a miss but you know what it was a swing

Special circle of hell for game devs that still subject you to a diabolical grind to earn purchasable extras you’ve already paid for and make you wait significant real time hours to even slightly progress the main story of the game you’ve already paid for and then punish you by corrupting your save file or revoking basic game features if you attempt to try and get around the absurd restrictions in the game you’ve already paid for. You shell out so much money for a game, the least you could do is, oh I don’t know, let me play it

#miss when games were not connected to the internet #just one-and-done feed my computer a disc and that was the game #‘wait 48 hours for this item/task to progress the main storyline :3’ hey how about I punch you in the throat #only allowed to give characters 3 items a day and then you basically can’t do anything else for 24 hours #in a nearly £60 game is wild #that’s like free phone app game behaviour #‘it creates a sense of reward!’ it creates a sense of violence actually #insane what game this is about too #I’m in the very beginning stages of making a game myself and that is one thing I will not be doing

Guilt consumed Vincent whenever he lied to Renee. Vincent thought it was risky to let her know about investigating the secret basement with Isaac. She'd want to help and that meant gathering unwanted attention from the police and the media. When they arrived, Vincent sat there in his car, shoulders slumped. He tried to think. He strained to think. But seeing his childhood home only triggered traumatic events from his past, obscuring all his plans for the day.

"Isaac…I don't think I'm ready today," he said, hiding the tremor in his voice. "It's okay, we can take our time to solve it," Isaac had his own nerves seeing Vincent's childhood home; they were facing the unknown after all. "I'm ready whenever you are."

#ts4 #sims 4 #ts4 gameplay #ts4 legacy #postcard legacy #postcard gen 3 #vincent kingsley #isaac kingsley #hey look!! ISAAC MY BBY!! STOP BEING SO HANDSOME MAN 😍#butokok hear me out!! how do i include isaac in a post but also progress things with the mystery??? THIS IS THE ANSWER #(small small progress 😅)#BUT YOUR KINGS ARE BACKKKK #something to remind you all there is a basement to be investigated #it has been 17 years since vincent last saw this house so seeing it again after all these years gave him flashbacks 😔#he also didnt want payton to know (why he looked back at living room) because he doesnt want her to worry #i loved that yall had no idea in comments bet you didnt expect this #it was the “dangerous” option but without any of the danger!!!!!

Read a fic the other day and it featured lu guang as a fanfic writer (Canon universe) at first I was a little hesitant to the idea but then I remembered, this is a man who watches anime and does cosplay, he would absolutely read and write fanfiction.

Then that got me thinking about the ao3 author's curse and how absolutely unhinged and insane lu guangs author's notes would be

#link click #lu guang #it be like 'hey guys sorry I haven't updated in a while #my boyfriend got murdered multiple times #lola rambles #no wonder this man is insane he keeps losing the progress on all of his fics

I see a post about how JK Rowling's goblins are antisemitic. I click on the person's blog. Their blog is filled with Holocaust inversion, MENA Jewish genocide denial, Hamas support, political "takes" from Twitter bitches with the red triangle in their usernames. I click out and block.

#its a little morbidly funny how consistent this is #like i can fairly accurately predict if someone is a raging antisemite based on the things they do choose to reblog about antisemitism s #which are always surface level criticisms of tropes in media #which while true sure are kind of an obvious distraction when there is a massive title wave of ~leftists~ reframing supporting antisemitic #terrorists as progressive praxis #🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️#if youve posted about jk Rowling's goblins don't feel bad thwy are antisemitic #its just very obvious and stupid when someone is like HEY LOOK OVER HERE!! LOOK AT THAT!!! THAT KIDS STORY HAS BAD GUYS WITH BIG NOSES!!#DON'T LOOK BEHIND ME AT THE A CURSE UPON THE JEWS FLAG LOOK AT THE KIDS BOOK!!!#gingerswagfreckles #antisemitism #leftist antisemitism #jumblr

"As for you, child, step carefully. No path is darker than when your eyes are shut."

Redrew a pencil drawing I did around a decade ago, before I got my tablet. Original is under the cut if you want to see my horrendous old pencil work :d
