you wake up one morning and think that a few more minutes in bed won't hurt, right? you don't go back to sleep but you're still curled up in the sheets, eyes shut as you stay warm. and it's peaceful, until you feel and hear the blanket being moved around and a panicked whisper of "but she's sleeping right next to us," when you decide to crack one eye open. just to see takiishi keeping endo pinned to the mattress with his forearm on the other man's upper back, takiishis other hand pulling endos pants and boxers down together in one go. neither of them notice that you're awake yet, endo just trying to keep quiet to not disturb you while takiishis more focused on sliding his dick between endos cheeks for now. until he chooses that's not enough and fucks him. right next to you while you're 'asleep.'

i think if All Fours by Miranda July taught me anything it's that there is not a single reason to be that fucking down bad for someone like pick yourself up, and the crazy shit you do in that state has never once resulted in it drawing that person to you

Insomnia is letting up off and on, but I'm still super jelly brained from it case in point, I want to continue back with posting WIPs for the aired pages, but I can't remember what page I left off on now lmao (guess I'll have to dig through my blog to check... eesh. at least it's decently organized by tags?) Not a result of goo brain, really, but equally "AUGH" is that I let my screen protector go for too long without replacing it and now it's slick as snot and I don't have a replacement handy to put on it. This isn't a resulting consequence of goo brain but it does mean I'm going to be trying to draw without any traction while I'm already loopy. Good times ahead!

i’ll do ship templates later, but i got the song strangers playing on loop so that means it’s time for noel rambling—

i think og!noel ever saw her new iteration, i think she’d have a severe breakdown over how much her motivations have changed. cause one of dol!noel’s motivations was her theme of running away from her problems meanwhile i feel like dod!noel has sort of a different vibe. like there is an escapism element to her, but it doesn’t feel so much as for survival’s sake rather than her tolerance for the people and the town no longer. like. THERE.

like back in highschool, in dod, when she had her bff, even if she had others like cody & leo, her bff was the REASON she stayed as long as she did as riley. she was getting through this shithole because her bff needed someone strong & resolute to look after them, and so when they are transformed into this new, horrific thing - what point is there for her to stay as riley? in some form, that also calls upon her to do some form of transformation too, hence becoming noel. and her isolation in the fields, with her bunker-esque home, would be explained in dod, as still a move done out of paranoia: but paranoia of losing her best friend again.

keeping her best friend chained and locked away, in their new home, she can be assured of her friend’s movements and know no one will ever hurt them again after already failing them once. in a way, dod!noel feels a bit more?? hero-like than dol!noel who was very selfish, but i feel like they are both still selfish. i’d say dod!noel is extremely more than dol!noel. with again, the best friend. keeping her friend in her home, she believes she knows and understands what is best for her friend; what they desire. and like…. noel’s sources? just trust her???

the fact that she tries to paint to the pc what she is doing is GOOD, and MERCIFUL, meanwhile, her friend can’t communicate anymore; they’ve lost sense of language in their monstrous form. Hell, they could have even lost sense of identity & desire - but noel assures the player they haven’t. they affirm, that yes, it is necessary that linden ( oc!remy ) runs the slaughterhouse. that yes, her best friend needs to survive on human meat and will not take anything less. that they are necessary evils for this. but it’s becomes glaringly obvious at some point, that noel is just projecting delusions onto their best friend out of desperation - because a world without their best friend, just feels uninhabitable, so she just creates fantasy. connecting back to her whole reason for living being tied to this friend, her identity, so to lose them would be losing herself.

This job is fucking stupid why do *I* feel bad and anxious about the fact that i had to stay late when my coworker literally left 3 hours early without telling anybody

very frequently find myself wishing that therapy/meds had worked. At All. but! alas!

[sysig]

I decided to give a go to @niennanir’s lovely print-your-own-fic recipe on my Inside and Out as a test run and I’m quite pleased with the results as a first pass :D

I wish I’d taken a few more process pictures but there was a slight lull as I had to go shopping for 12x12 cardstock lol, but! I do have a couple closeups/extras that I added for funsies :D

I went with freehanding the title and I think in the future I would opt to not do that lol, at least not without a printed template. That said, both LibreOffice and SAI refuse to recognize my SCII fonts >:0 If you notice on the first page, I used the Ace Attorney font in italic haha, it’s an okay alternative even if it’s not what I actually want |0 I am happy with the gold detailing tho :3c

I did have an unconscionable amount of fun freehanding the ship caption tho ahh <3 <3 Immediate happy stims upon completion, their names together look so pretty ♥ Credit to Zarla’s original minicomic on that one :3

I also managed to get the last sentence of the fic isolated on the last page thanks to the formatting haha ♪

I was also able to add a bookmark! Ma happened to have a couple very thin ribbons to choose from and red ended up complementing the green very prettily!

It reminds me of VUX tongues hehehehe ❤️💕💖💞

[applejongho]

seeing everyone on twt connecting the dots to see the rabbit in the photo n shit... idk it just grinds my gears lmao. even the ribos are excited. I don't get it. I rly don't get it.

[tauforged]

Do you like the fantasy genre? I asked cause your profile picture

oh yeah, for sure. i tend to lean a little scifi fantasy (my icon is actually a warframe oc) cuz i’m a sucker for weird and crazy technology and have always since i was little had a passion for imagining alien worlds and ecosystems…. and i like guns and such from an artistic standpoint crazy scifi weapons are a lot of fun to design cuz you don’t need to be a skilled magic user to shoot someone with laser beams anyone can pick up a blaster and go ham…. but i enjoy fantasy settings immensely also

father grimaldi: forgive me, lord, for i have sinned. constantine: — understatement of the bloody century, that is. father grimaldi: the chapel is closed to the public! who are you? how did you get in here . . .? constantine: did you know vatican city has the highest per-capita crime rate of any nation state in the world? i'd have thought a touch of breaking and entering's pretty much par for the course around here.

so #1, an undeniable slay.

#2, how long do we think he was sitting in the confessional booth waiting for the guy to wake up from ellie's fake vision quest. like an hour? checking his light, practicing his Big Reveal Pose TM? he probably brought a book with him and just shoved it underneath the seat cushion when it was time to show off.

#3, knowing how intensely he studied & continues to study in order to teach himself magic at such an absurdly advanced level without any teachers to formally guide him? and how that level of dedication would absolutely carry over into researching a mark / making sure he had every corner of a confidence scheme nailed down pat? i like to imagine that the day before this meeting was spent with his severely under-caffeinated ass parked at a public library computer, squinting at articles for 'most important things to know about vatican city before you travel' or 'top 10 little-known facts about vatican city' and using the back of his boarding pass to take notes on what would be the best throwaway line to blow off all the usual questions with.

also, he probably woke up still in his travel clothes less than two hours before this scene and had to hustle to get suited up in time for his Dramatic Apparition. the demon blood was boiling so bad in that chapel that it was giving him a killer migraine. he didn't get breakfast so his stomach was growling the ENTIRE time. but all that meant was he had plenty of room to eat UP the runway and that's EXACTLY what the fuck he did.i'm

Sucking it up and taking responsibility for working on this project so last-minute. It wouldn't be such a problem if I didn't have to both review someone else's work and have someone else review mine. I haven't even made the wireframes yet, but I posted to the discussion board anyways to hopefully increase the likelihood that I'll catch Someone before it's too late. This is due tomorrow night, so there's still time, but it's a lot shorter on time than I'd prefer. Hoping that there's at least Someone willing to work with me here. I'm even willing to evaluate more than one person's work if that helps them out. Crossing fingers for someone else to have done things as last minute as I have.

And... well. If no one bites, that's 25 out of the 75 points on this assignment. Which would certainly sting, but it's also not included in the presentation points. So... I guess worst case scenario, I end up missing out on 25 points of the final 1000 in the class. That's, what, a quarter of a grade? It'd suck, but it's not life ruining. I've gotten full points for everything so far in this class, so it wouldn't ruin me.

... it'd still suck though. So I really do hope that someone replies to me.

I say this in jest a lot but does anyone have any space for a roommate, or have space for a mangy old stray dog to sleep on your couch for a little while maybe; or even have leads on housing that isn't as exorbitantly expensive as the average rent for a single bedroom apartment in Seattle. Because like. I can't keep living here.
