#i forgot all my tags lolll

[f1sh1es]

Hi long time no see... i finally finished this artpiece of claire in her bonus stage dresses that i forgot for 2 yrs ! ! ! Xtras below :-)

Pencil sketch that it started with, and a less scanned version of how it looks irl. It's in a quite small sketchbook but i like how much color & action i could cram into a compact space, it feelsl ike im holding a magical artifact.

& not to get any hopes up, i've been in a sort of art comatose as you've probably noticed, but since i got back into wh i've been drawing it alot, so probably might upload more soon :))) wilconc got meee conked up

summary: when the public thinks y/n is dating a football player... a male player. Inspired by this

A/n: this shit made me wanna kms. i really thought social media au would be easier since it's not writing. but holy shit editing this was ass. also the fact that it took me around 10 hours yesterday only?? and 138 pictures. but lowkey... making fake beef and conversations was kinda fun lol.

warning: nothing, but this is the first time i made a social media au so it may be bad...and the quality of these screenshots are shit. also...I worked really hard editing the time of those screenshots (except the second one... i forgot) they will help you understand the timeline. I recommend reading this in white mode so the tweets can look smoother.

oh my god elisa speaks in English again! Does this confirm that our favorite football player is taken...or is she just saying that as the girl looks much younger? Who knows!

Is Y/n dating Elisa? Or was it Brahim? The audio wasn't clear, and the camera wasn't showing the door properly either! But from the small corner... the person has the same features as both brahim and Elisa. Short brown hair and fair skin... it could be either. But it's 99% Brahim since y/n never made a statement that she likes women, and she did make a lot of... interesting tweets back in the day about brahim ifykyk 🙈🙈

8:12PM — shen ricky

↳ req: this may be kind of specific butttttt can u do a ricky onehsot where he’s been busy w work and he forgot that he has a date w u, and he arrives late then the rest is up to uu

↳ pairing: shen quanrui x gn!reader

↳ warnings: angst to fluff!! also comfort lolll, reader feel insecure at the beginning, ricky misses a date

perm taglist (open): @tzuberry @hrtattcker @yueriots @neohyxn @avocarua @dwcljh

ricky has never been anything short of a great boyfriend. he was attentive, cared so much about you and showed through his affectionate words, constantly checked up on you and all in all made you feel every ounce of love you deserved- today was just... an off day.

you knew that he was busy; when they called, he had to answer. but a promise is also a promise, and this has been the very first time that he's broken one.

there you sat, dateless at a fancy restaurant in the downtown area of the city.

despite knowing that ricky could easily afford to take you here, you found it quite hard to fit in. your eyes darted around the restaurant, finding well-cleaned-up families, and women with hundred-dollar dresses, with their dates who dressed along the same price tag.

a sudden guilt errodes your brain- ricky was the only reason you were able to make a reservation here, where you leaching off of your boyfriend? albeit the hurt caused by the man in question due to missing your date, the thought still consumes you whole and eats up at your concious.

(more under the cut !)

nodding to yourself, you finally take a stand and walk around the circular table meant for two- which only ended up sitting one for about an hour. you give a curt yet embarassing nod to the waiter, whose eyes lingered on your figure, their pitious gaze punctured your being as she continued to watch you walk out of their restuarant shamefully.

hailing a cab over, you open the door before thanking him, hopping into the backseat and sheepishly telling him your address.

as if the driver knew of your current predicament, he keeps glancing at the rear view mirror, causing you to shift uncomfortably in your spot. you could sense the burning question lighting up the tip of his tongue but also the hesitation that singed his lips.

however, he chose against asking the question, making you forever grateful.

stopping in front of your complex, you thank him, handing him over your cash before leaving. the breath of fresh air once you exit offers no relief and you sluggishly walk through your entrance and into the elevator to make it home.

just as excited as you were to go on this date, you were now just as excited to jump into bed and sleep your emotions away- but your were met with a familiar face as the elevator doors slide open.

a bleach blonde makes it's way into your vision as the elevator doors slide open and ricky looks at you in shock.

seeing the way his tie is messily done, a pinch of his shirt untucked from his pants and his face in distress- every emotion crashes through your body all at once.

"oh." was all you could muster as you try to fight the tears that rimmed your eyes.

"yn, i'm so sorry. i tried to come, i was just on my way- i'm so sorry you had to wait that long-" his apologies were quickly cut off by you stepping through the passageway of the elevator, taking his torso into an embrace.

he tenses for a brief moment before relaxing, his arms circling around the upper half of your frame.

"you made me wait for an hour... the waiters even knew what happened and i didn't have to tell them... my taxi driver too... god, it's so embarrassing."

the blonde winces at your sobs, his guilt now overflowing- every sob adds another ounce of guilt into his veins.

"i'm so sorry..." you pull away and nod, trying to calm your rapidly beating heart. you turn to press the button of your floor before moving away from him.

sniffling, you refuse to make eye contact with him, "let's just head to bed..."

"hey, wait, yn let's talk about this..." before he can try to pull you in again, the door opens, revealing your floor and you walk out of the elevator.

juggling through your keys, ricky struggles to keep up as you rush through the halls towards your apartment. finally finding the right key, you walk up to your door, stick the key in and swing the door open.

surprisingly, you hold the door open for the distressed boy and he finally manages to catch you. the door slams as no one is there to gently close it, and his hand wraps around your wrist delicately.

"don't do this.." he calls, his eyebrows furrowing as he looked at you, concern threading through his features.

"do what?" you mumble avoidantly, trying to pry your wrist out of his grip.

"don't dismiss your feelings. tell me how it hurt, and tell me what i can do to fix it."

the two of you stand there for a moment and you shift on your feet uncomfortably at the silence.

he nods at you, trying to fish your emotions out and you lick your lips before huffing, "it hurt a lot."

you cringed at the sound of your voice cracking but with his comforting gaze, you found it hard to stop yourself, "even though it's not your fault you weren't allowed to leave, and technically neither was the pity that the taxi driver and waitress gave me, and that it was also your first time you missed a date... it still really hurt. honestly... i'm also embarrased. i didn't belong in that fancy restaurant, i only go there because of you... you can afford it, and that makes me feel like i'm leaching off of you..."

"yn..." at the sight of you looking away, ricky grabs your other hand to keep your attention on him.

"i take you there because i want to, not because i feel like i have to. you leaching off of me is never what i intended to make you feel like- neither was making you feel like you weren't worthy enough to be in that restaurant. if you feel more comfortable, we can start going to cafe's.. all i want is for you to be happy..."

"no, ricky... i'm happy wherever i go with you, i just... i guess i felt insecure in the moment- and getting stood up kind off added to that i guess..."

ricky cringes at your confession, "alright... how can i make it up to you?"

"js' being here with me is fine..." you sigh, finally looking up to lock eyes with him.

"you sure?"

"yeah... just try not to miss another date..."

“trust me, i’ll never let it happen again.”

navi. mlist.

hey chat. I did a deep (medium) dive into gamescent to figure out what the fuck they meant by any of that

first of all, the price tag, holy shit. second of all, AT PAX EAST? it took me a second to realize implication of this being at pax east. this is going to be an INVOLUNTARY EXPERIENCE for some people LOL. THE STINKY BOOTH AT PAX EAST.

The first thing I wanted to know is how the fuck does this use ai? i conjured a beautiful world where we could actually experience ai-generated scents but no, obviously it's just a buzzword used to drive investors. it uses ai to analyze the sound in your game to dispense the appropriate scent, which sounds bad.

Brief interlude i love this ai generated image they use on their "blog" section on their website, me and my little car i use for gaming

the first thing you'll find with this article and the website is that they are downright ADDICTED to pretending smell-o-vision was a good thing.

AHEAD OF ITS TIME? I WOULDN'T GO THAT FAR.

GEOFF, I DON'T THINK THE INSUFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY WAS THE ISSUE HERE.

The ONLY benefit of using AI they can come up with is the timing of the release of the scent lolll

ANIME SCENT

I'm personally obsessed with them calling it DLC because I have no idea how this is supposed to be downloadable lmao i couldn't find anything on their website using this terminology. Geoff Keighley what did you mean by this. You wouldn't download a scent.

to the eager anticipation of all ultrakill fans/sex freaks the BLOOD scent DLC will be coming soon.

there's a giveaway section for data harvesting and apparently 11,000 entries which i somehow doubt

I really love the vague wording here "will not be responsible for any outcome" ANY OUTCOME?

I forgot to say of course they have an app lmao. and i love how every physical item you buy is now just a license to use that item now. Surely they wont shut down service for this making your 200 CAD scent box useless laughing crying emoji

Literally what the fuck is this what does this product have to do with fitness. i can't find ANYTHING correlating this. i had a sneaking suspicion that most of this writing was ai generated but this might just confirm it lol

What is this tweet

tldr im not looking at this anymore when are they releasing the gabriel ultrakill armpit sweat dlc scent

[planetbiomes]

okay hi!!!

(im asking from main btw! polyamorous el here!)

so, idk if u saw tags under your posts but im absoultely invented in your stranger things spiderverse au AND SO HERE COMES THE QUESTION

i love dustins backstory, but u didn't tell anything about his relationship with el so im curious how it works for him! bc we already know that mike will try to stand far from will bc we doesnt want to lose him but it will be too hard for both of them, but what about dustin? will he catch some feelings for el? and if he'll do, will he try to not pursue any romantic relationship with her bc he would be scared that what happened to suzie will happen to El as well?

asdfg

sorry kinda excited about it. anyway, love your little comic <3

OMFG HIIII SOMEONE WHO IS AS OBSESSED WITH HENDERHOP AS ME??? A DREAM COME TRUE 🥰

Also I completely forgot to add Henderhop to their backstories so my bad! ^^’ I do want to expand their backstories with more comics in the future! But for now I’ll just ramble here 😛

In Dustin’s universe, he’s really good friends with Will and El, he knows Mike through Eddie, and seeing his good friend as another Spider-Man is endearing to him so he visits Mike in his universe a lot to get away from most things-

However in his universe he and El are good friends but never get the chance to talk considering she is still with Mike, at first- he was never interested in relationships after everything that happened with Suzie, it was too hard to bare at the time. He was out of it for the most part- he drifted away from Mike, El, Will and all of his friends. However when he went into the Spiderverse with Mike and met this El- they sort of began to bond. Mike and Will had their own problems trying to avoid each other, but realized that avoiding the problem won’t fix anything, they try to make amends as best they can together. With Lucas and Max trying to fix things as well they are sort of stuck in the middle and decided to support each other, Dustin began to open up to El because she was the only one who was there to listen and genuinely understand. She told him what she went through too, they finally found someone on equal footing with each other.

It began to shift into a more complex friendship, he would visit her universe just to talk, and she would do the same.

They both agreed to keep their relationship strictly as friends, until Dustin would be up at night thinking about her, his feelings became mixed and it troubled him, he confronted El saying how scared he was to loose her as well.

He could never imagine the world without her in it and it scared him. “The world needs Spider woman. But what happens when I need her more?”

She felt his anguish, but from what they’ve seen from Will and Mike, trying to avoid anything and each other doesn’t solve anything, it hurts more to stop.

“Then why stop?”

She told him that Spider man or no, they are people too, sure they aren’t normal but who cares? They have each others backs and understand each other more than anyone else in the world. Maybe that’s worth more than something?

Yes they do get together! And they stay together! They have minor bumps in the road in their relationship but they communicate and pull through it together, they understand everyone around them more than they know, what they see around them makes their relationship stronger, and they teach each other a lot of things, El’s relationship with Hopper gets stronger because Dustin tells her to keep the people she loves the most close to her. And in return, she tells him to open up to his close ones, allowing him to build up the courage to talk to Steve.

They are just such a cute ship and I think they would be the most healthy relationship but that’s my opinion lolll

Also they would do the iconic upside down Spiderman kiss except Dustin would jump back onto the ground so they can do the kiss <3

And they hold hands the most out of everyone, the first time they talked they held hands as sort of support and understanding of each other, it became their connection to hold each other tight and never let go. :)

Hope that answers your question!! Sorry it’s long but I love to talk about their stories aaaaaaa I will make more art of them and of the others as well because I love them too much- thanks for the question :D

30 rock s3 rewatch thread pt 1

[theesteemedladydebourgh]

hi ange, hope this isn't a silly question to ask but i was wondering if you have any study tips haha

not silly at all! 🥰

ah, studying...the bane of my existence (beloathed). why can't i just know all the things i need to hm? evolution has clearly failed.

the main piece of advice is probably not that helpful, but it's that studying is super subjective and you have to find what works for you. for instance, i'm pretty terrible at memorization, so i assign character-traits/personalities to things i need to know (sometimes including dialogues i am a weirdo) and use that as my notes 😂 it's odd, but it works! i still recall Otto von Bismarck the lemon Prime Minister who just wanted to make all the lemon trees part of one orchard, so their roots could share nutrients and prosper (is that organically correct? I have no idea, but it helped me remember the unification of the German territories in the 1800s lmao)

also, i'd just say make a schedule and stick to it. even if it's just one hour a day where you do your reading/assignments, it pays off. Revision/flashcards etc is all well and good, but you can't revise what you haven't already read. And don't exhaust yourself! i'm just learning this this week, lolll, because i've always been a huge studystudystudystudy down to the wire type of person, but there's a point when studying too much is actually harming you because you're so tired that you can't remember basic facts. like i literally forgot that the US was one of the countries that fought in WWII today 💀

i think establishing a plan and doing a little each day is the best way to set yourself up for success--and if there's anything you're fuzzy on, or even things you think you know cold, explain them to someone else. talk to your parent/sibling/friend/pet of choice/interesting rock formation/crack in the wall! Having to explain something really reveals any gaps in your knowledge, and solidifies ideas in your mind.

oh, last thing! sometimes you can pavlov yourself into remembering things hahahah. i listened to Taylor Swift's Speak Now album on repeat when I took Astronomy 101, and to this day when I hear the opening notes of Haunted I start recalling things about parsecs and distance. So keeping the same location/snacks/soundtrack to your studying can help jog your memory later.

hope my nonsense ramblings helped lol, and school goes great for you! ❤️

tagging @clare-with-no-i because she's such a college student marvel that i'm sure she has greater wisdom than i to share.
