#i'm emotional about this

[lenfleur-png]

it's so sad to me that people are making AI voices of vocaloids. you are defeating the purpose of the software. you are depreciating a beautiful instrument.

do you know how much skill is needed to be a vocaloid producer? to tune their voices just right? do you know how much creativity and time and effort people pour into their artwork, lyrics, and music? do you know how beautiful it is that hatsune miku, kagamine len, kagamine rin, kaito, etc. are the direct result of collaboration and crowdsourcing?

you don't.

El and Lucas the Max Protectors™

a lot of people seem to hc Max as really protective, and I get it because that comes standard with the type of character that Max almost is. but Max is not protective. she's emotionally protective, she's physically supportive, but she's not physically protective. in a moment of danger you never see Max stepping out in front - you see her at the back of the group. and she never has a bruised ego about it. she never insists she doesn't need stupid boys to protect her and she never does the "ohh thank u kind sir lmaooo" thing with Lucas after the danger has passed.

I'm here to tell you that while Max might not readily admit to it, she likes to be protected. loves to be protected. not in a damsel way; we've seen her get out of some horrible situations on her own. she never really expects or seeks it out, but her friends just do protect her without her having to ask, and it means so much to her. because Max has felt unprotected all her life, and she craves it. can she even remember a time when she felt totally safe in her own home? she lives with two abusers and I can't imagine Max seeing her mother as any kind of of protector, after putting her in that situation. Max hasn't had anyone make her feel safe in a long time.

so I love that while Max is capable of taking care of herself, when something scary happens, you can find her unapologetically peeking out from behind that nerd boy and his little slingshot, the one who she made fun of for screaming like a little girl. I love that it seems like Max's character would be the one protective of her abused ingenue bff, but she's the one always standing back with awe while El bodily shields her from monster after monster. I think being protected like that makes Max feel very loved.

Bonus: El's protection means so much to Max that the literal last act of her life is to try to reciprocate and try to protect El when she needs it. i'm done, do not speak to me

Happy 1 Year Anniversary

This day is so overwhelming. I’m so emotional, and tomorrow won’t be any better.

Today it is exactly one year since I made my very first Young Royals post 😭 - and may I also add, the very first Young Royals post on tumblr I believe. I remember watching the trailer a week or so before the premiere. I KNEW it would be a huge tumblr succes, but the tag was still completely empty… That changed very quickly obviously 🥰

A whole damn year and approximately 4000 asks later (for real) here we are! Even though my expectations were high, I didn’t anticipated that it would take over my life as much as it did and unite me with so many amazing humans ❤️

Tomorrow will be an overwhelming day in more than one way, so I’m going down memory lane with my very first posts about Young Royals today.  I obviously binged the whole thing as soon as it premiered, it was so 😭😭 And I needed mutuals SO bad!! This was my immediate reaction, right after I binged the whole show and just WAITED for the fandom to take off on tumblr. It was love at first sight ❤️ I remember it like yesterday 🥺 

This fandom was so pure in the very beginning. We were all the new kids in the class, all in love and with hearts so full. We actually stayed pure for an impressively long time 💕 

I am both excited, scared and nervous about season 2. The pics today fucked me up. I have so many thoughts, but i need time to collect myself.

Nothing in this fandom will be slow and innocent this time. It’s face first chaos and crying (love you guys 💜)

okay but doctor who star wars AU 👀 just think about all the similarities and possibilities!!

With order 66 being the time war and the time lords being the Jedi and Obi-Wan being the Doctor. Kenobi series Obi-Wan could be the tenth doctor and the master could be Anakin/Vader and aaaaaaaa

Obi-Wan and the Doctor even share some common themes like pain and misery and loneliness and grief.

And Ahsoka could be his companion and —

Then, too, at sea—to use a homely but expressive phrase—you miss a man so much. A dozen men are shut up together in a little bark, upon the wide, wide sea, and for months and months see no forms and hear no voices but their own, and one is taken suddenly from among them, and they miss him at every turn. It is like losing a limb. There are no new faces or new scenes to fill up the gap. There is always an empty berth in the forecastle, and one man wanting when the small night watch is mustered. There is one less to take up the wheel, and one less to lay out with you upon the yard. You miss his form, and the sound of his voice, for habit had made them almost necessary to you, and each of your senses feels the loss.

Helena,

Your characters are always so thought out and riveting to read about! I love your oc’s and I love the obvious amount of time you put into creating them!

Oh my, I'm going to cry. That's so kind of you to say, and I'm so happy my effort shines through because I often feel that my OCs are underdeveloped. Thank you!

You know that scene in Turning Red? What if Jin Ling saw that lost and traumatized younger version of Jiang Cheng…

Episode 825 did you mean the episode where Luffy kissed Sanji ever so tenderly in the rain and told him he loved him

ANOTHER SKETCH DUMP! Featuring more of me playing with lineless art. Batman reborn era trio (dick, damian and steph) I miss you...when will you return from war. Also featuring Steph designs bc I've seen ppl dissatisfied w/ her current look, some good mom Talia, and Jason Todd poetry club. Duke is confused not that Jason would start a poetry club but that he'd have such mid poetry opinions. (ID in Alt)
