fav color: white, it goes with everything! if you pressed me for a “real” color, i’d have to say orange. a yellowy orange. or an orangey yellow…

currently reading: i me mine… for the 7th time… i tend to latch on to a bit of media and rewatch/reread/relisten to it endlessly, not until i get bored, but until i find something new.

last song: window window (george harrison); its such a cute song… a little confession: i make it my mission to spend as much of my day listening to music as possible, so i have a playlist for when im sleeping. waking up to george’s slower songs or his demos are always nice

last film: monty python and the holy grail, truly a classic!!! ive been rewatching it for years, ever since my parents showed it to me when i was around 10? i credit my taste in movies to them, they’ve yet to let me down with their recommendations

last series: smash, the one about the marilyn monroe musical; i watched it last year with my mom, and i actually enjoyed it a lot (except for ellis, i wanted to blow up my tv whenever he was on screen, if you watch smash you’ll see why); i dont usually watch tv shows, i hate when the episodes get repetitive or boring. i cant last more than 2 seasons

sweet/salty/savory: savory… thinking about gumbo and rice…and fried okra…

tea or coffee: i like the taste of coffee, but i prefer drinking tea. i avoid caffeine (with the exception of coke zero in the situation my local grocery store runs out of the no caffeine version) since i dont want to get hooked on it… i get my energy from ice cubes

working on: im ashamed to admit…nothing :,-) i only work in short bursts of energy, you mightve noticed that much of my art is shitposts or looks hastily done…its because if i dont complete it in a day, it’ll never be done!!!

vending machine coffee by trevination (1.5k)

summary:

The coffee machine dinged. Darrel damn near jumped at the sound. Right. Sweat trickled down his back as he picked up the cup, blowin’ at the top gently and takin’ a swig. Burnin’ coffee had melted his taste buds long ago, along with all the nerves crammed in with ‘em. It didn’t hurt no more. The steam tickled his nose and the bitter taste filled his senses. Bitter. That was all he was anymore, right?

thank you for coming to my ted talk

Alslslsldkdkd

Yippeeeeee

I will refrain from book 3 spoilers (but omg it is a DOOZY)

Anyway

One of my top favorite things about this series is that the characters get hurt and they STAY hurt

That sounds kinda odd but like

All too often in media a character will get hurt and nothing is really dine about it. There may be a scene where they get patched up or tying up the wound or something along those lines but.... nothing comes of it. A scene later the character will he running on their injured foot completely fine

But that doesn't happen in this series

Cause the best example off the top of my head is when Amarande was stabbed in the hand

Time and again it's referenced when in battles how she can't hold the knife as well or her aim isn't as sharp

(It may be because I want to go into the medical field and know way to much about wounds and injuries to the point I get pet peeved when interacting with media thay gets something so blatantly obviously wrong if you even glanced at Google or a textbook but I digress) and I'm FERAL when previous injuries are brought back again and the slow process of healing is shown

Especially since this series only takes place in less than a span of a month's time so it's REALISTIC

And like it's fantasy I don't expect expect everything to be realistic but INJURIES (unless there's superfast healing magic) I do expect (or rather hope) it is

Plus SCARS AKWKAKWKSDK

Ok one thing aboit me is that I'm obsessed when characters have cannon scars

That reason being is I have lots of surgery scars of my own

I have no shame or embarrassment with my scars so when I also get to see a character who has scars and wears them as part of their story I am SENT

One of these scars I have being a heart surgery scar

Now the context for this is important because I've always wanted to find a character with a scar like mine (straight down the middle of the chest, fairly long)

And I've always wanted to find a character with a scar like that

Well come to the end of book one where Luca gets tortured (awful way to aquire it but I'll take what I can get)

The description of his scar is pretty much exactly mine is

Even better when in book two it gets mistaken for being heart related

Just akskakekd

And back to the Injuries being referenced later

IT STAYS SORE FOR A WHILE

I am very passionate about that very rarely do I see that honestly

Same with the snake bite his ankle stays numb for the remainder of the story

And again with Amarande and the other two injuries regarding her arm and thigh wounds

IT AFFECTS HER MOBILITY UN THE STORY LATER ON

There's another example I'm book three but I won't so I don't spoil you

I am so not okay about these characters if you can't tell lol

Hi

Ik I'm a random person to you but I was trying to see if anyone else has read The Princess Will Save You because I'm actually so unwell about it

And so naturally I looked it up on tumblr and one of your posts popped up of you saying you read it

Did you enjoy it and have you read the rest of the series

I'd be down to chat about it if tou have because I'm desperate for someone who understands my nonsensical babbles

Hey there!

Always happy to meet another book lover.

I read the first two in the series so far. Overall, I did enjoy them and I’d be happy to talk about them with you!

[histrynerdss]

deleted the wip version of this

t. ta dah

it's mostly blank bcs this is supposed to be my lockscreen lmfao

the little s💥 in the corner is my watermark do not remove that if you download this (???? will people even like this enough to)

ok time to go see if i can fix this more than i have

[teeposting]

ough… thinking abt post-gary’s synth incident and how it affects his relationship w music/his synth

i’m torn bc i think it would be sweet if it got him to start playing more. like he mostly left it for skips to take care of but afterwards he actually uses it again, reconnecting w his roots

tbh though it’s more likely the opposite: it fucks him up so bad for a while he can’t even look at it the same way let alone mess w it; only serves as a reminder of everyone he’s failed. nothing he makes will ever feel the same

More sbms headcanons because I love overthinking and making stuff up. Focus on on their relationship as kids and how that shapes their coping mechanisms and how they handle conflict as adults. It's whumpy and dramatic. It always is. Also as always my hcs and scenarios usually end up being an amalgamation of conversations I've had with other people so like. If anything seems familiar to you, yeah its probably because you infected my brain, congrats ahaha.

I'm just gonna jump right in I guess LOL. I really like the headcanon that both of the twins are autistic, that being perceived as "different" from a young age made them incredibly reliant on each other, since no one else seemed to understand them. I feel like if you've talked to me abt sbms for any extended amount of time I have probably mentioned how much I love the headcanon that Emmet was nonverbal for many years growing up, speaking only in front of Ingo if he did at all.

In contrast to Emmet, who did not speak, Ingo talked a lot. Ingo never had any problem understanding his brother, and often impatiently relayed Emmet's wants to the adults around him, with a tone that indicated he thought they were kind of stupid. When Emmet started being picked on for his mannerisms, Ingo would of course be the one to jump to his defense. And Ingo wasn't gentle about it either — he was a child, and had the self-restraint of one (that is to say, none). He would get pulled aside on a weekly basis for fighting other children, and he, of course, would never apologize. He would very staunchly repeat that his opponent had been picking on his brother, but because Ingo always threw the first punch, he was always the one to be punished.

Emmet carried an awful guilt, watching his brother being punished over and over for his own mistakes (mistakes he couldn't seem to correct, no matter how hard he tried to be conscious of them). He clammed up and withdrew even more, terrified of betraying his strangeness even in the way he breathed. He often started to take off and disappear, hiding himself away in small darkened corners until Ingo inevitably came to find him and hold him in his arms and tell him that everything was alright.

(Aside. I think Emmet seeing Ingo beat the shit out of another kid to protect him must rewrite his brain chemistry. Yes, in a horny way, even if he doesn't realize it yet. Freud would love these two, I fear.)

I had the seed planted in my head (winks) of their parents being kind of negligent and unempathetic to how they were struggling to communicate with their peers. All they were really receptive to was the reports coming from the school; that Emmet was a point of concern and seemed to be falling behind on the class material, and how Ingo was getting into fights in the schoolyard on a regular basis. At best, they didn't deal with the problem at all, hoping it would resolve itself over time. At worst, they tried to correct Emmet's mannerisms, which usually ended in Ingo getting riled up in his defense. Ingo learned at a very young age that he couldn't trust anyone to have their best interests at heart — certainly not the adults. And it only served to drive the two of them closer and closer together; Emmet learning to be utterly dependent on his brother for protection and praise and love where otherwise he would be getting none, and Ingo becoming a notorious problem child in order to protect him, known for his violent outbursts despite how well he did in class.

At age 10 they were separated into different classes and to them it was The End of The World. They had never been apart for more than a few minutes, and now they were expected to spend HOURS in separate classrooms?? Ingo made a big fuss about it , and their parents had to get involved. "Emmet's going to have to figure it out on his own. You're not always going to be there for him." And little Ingo, so possessed with the self-righteous fury of a 10-year-old, was so pissed off he went to the administration about it himself. His panicked and desperate anger was the first hint that Ingo had just as much separation anxiety as Emmet did (perhaps more, honestly), despite always taking on the role of the stronger older brother.

However, the threat of separation only became more and more prevalent as they got older. The more Ingo's rebellious streak continued, the more it was used against him. It was the threat of sending him away to live with extended family in another region that sobered Ingo into cleaning up his act. Ingo made himself acquainted with the Rules that would keep him out of trouble — and acquainted with the gaps in them, that he could learn to exploit if he needed to. He trained his traitorous tongue and tempered his anger; he became incredibly personable and palatable and polite, easily able to make acquaintances with his gift of gab. All for the sake of ensuring he could always stay close by Emmet.

Emmet, on the other hand, came into himself as he got older, started displaying his true personality outwardly; he started speaking more, he became more confident in himself and he adamantly stopped taking shit from people, knowing he had his brother's support throughout all of the painful growing up they both had to do.

Fast forward to their lives as adults. They're still far closer than typical siblings; they moved away from home as soon as they possibly could, moving to Nimbasa City and sharing a closet of a rental room with a single bed until they could afford their own place, and remaining together long into their adulthood. They have Rules for how close they can get in public, but all bets are off in the privacy of their apartment, where they still curl up together in a tangle of limbs, breathing in each other's breath as they come down from a tiring day at work.

---

At first I had thought that the way they deal with conflict and distress was contrary to their usual demeanor. But the more I thought about it ("it" specifically being everything I have written above), it's more a matter of them regressing back to their most childish impulses.

Emmet regresses back into silence, his speech stuttering and shortening. He has never been able to hide his distress; it shows plainly on his face, in his movements, in his lack of speech. He can attempt to smile while holding it all in, but it's obvious that he's splitting open, spilling apart at the seams. He becomes erratic and clumsy and impulsive, and the only way he can hide it is to retreat entirely. What he learned from his childhood is that if he cannot pretend to be fine, then he is better off running.

The problem with wearing white is that it's impossible to hide the blood showing through.

He processes his stress and his grief alone. When Ingo disappears, it is actually easier at the beginning, when the shock has numbed him, when it's easy to still believe he could wake up to find it was all a bad dream. But the weeks and the months go by, and everyone around him start going back to their normal lives, and the shock is starting to ebb away and leave Emmet with this awful realization that he is really and truly alone. He tries not to, but he remembers the words of his parents as they argued with his brother, telling him how Emmet will have to figure it out. How Ingo won't always be there.

Emmet hadn't ever actually thought that would be the case.

Everyone goes back to normal, and he can't. He can't be normal, he can't be himself without Ingo around. And so he does what he always did before, and he hides. Becomes a recluse, convinced that no one understands his anguish and obsessing over Ingo's disappearance in solitude; continuing to retreat inward, becoming warped and ruined in isolation.

Ingo has a much higher threshold for distress than Emmet, and he can hide it much, much better. Both of them aren't exactly the best at self-regulation and self-care, but Ingo is the type to entirely ignore his needs when he gets focused on a problem to solve. He would continue to go, go, go, without eating or sleeping until his body simply crashes. (Ingo cares for Emmet in a lot of ways, but Emmet is always the one to shake Ingo out of a state of hyper-focus and convince him to take care of himself).

In a world where Emmet disappeared instead of Ingo, Ingo would strike outward rather than inward; the world itself has proven that it is against him and Emmet now, just like the authority figures in his childhood were. Ingo would lash out at everyone around him — no one is trying hard enough to find him, no one cares enough, no one understands him enough. Ingo would search endlessly for him, a bloodhound without a scent to follow, convinced that if only he looks hard enough he'll find his baby brother curled up in a broom closet like he did as a child. Unlike Emmet who recedes into himself, Ingo would use every ounce of power his title and reputation brings him to funnel manpower into looking for his brother, and throw away anyone who is no longer useful to him.

He'll crash and burn before he even thinks of giving up, and he'll burn anyone who stands in his way on his way down.

Hi it seems i am in your asks once more but I do have a legit question: You mentioned parts of your personality are taken from the characters in TRC, but who would you say you relate to the most? Why? If you can’t choose or have more than one, then why each of them?

Ooh wow this is a really interesting question wowowow. Yeah, I mean, I think that's a common sentiment among fans of the series I've noticed, because the characters are so multifaceted and feel so human. And so it's definitely easy to latch onto the characters and project parts of your personality onto them (as with more fictional characters, but TRC characters are sooooorhjerjejej) and discover a lot about yourself through your exploration of these characters. I think, especially over the last year, I really latched onto them to help me make sense of the place I'm in in life? I tried to keep this more character-analytical with a personal flair and got carried away, so please forgive the word count.

I take bits from each of the characters, of course. Blue, with her independence and her desire for freedoms and her confidence in identity as it grapples with how valuable she is to others. Gansey, with his boundless anxieties and his propensity to needing to behave more grown up and his "unerring weapons of destruction" in the form of words. (There is something to say about how I resonate with Gansey when it comes to presenting different sides of yourself to your friends and not having anyone to be yourself with.) Noah, who I have such a soft spot for because I know how it feels to feel like you are less than you used to be, and to fear being forgotten and ignored.

However, to segue, I had someone recently say: "I don't know, but there's something very pynch about you." Well, whatever the fuck that means. Did not clarify if that was a compliment, and the person it came from could have MEANT IT EITHER WAY. Anyway:

Adam motherfucking Parrish. I don't think I'm subtle about my fondness for Adam. My connection to this character really boils down to more extrinsic parts of my life (my relationship with college, school, work, my intricate and endless parental issues, the constant survival mode draining you) and how I process my place in the world. Which, and pardon me if I vent a bit here, but the idea of being lonesome is one I've felt for quite a substantial part of my life. And I don't resent it, nor do I see it as a bad thing. I am very good at being alone, being singular, and while that does make me feel lonely sometimes, it also means I'm very established in myself and my company and being my own person. Another thing I resonate with deeply in Adam. I see a lot of discussion over how Adam is "too stubborn" or just needs to "accept some help already" and I can't help but feel that comes from people who don't understand that some people have been raised to believe everything in life is transactional. Or, more so, that accepting help and charity from others often leads to them holding something over you. Or it gives them leverage on you. Or, really, they own a part of your success and comfort. There's a part of Adam that values his autonomy, how he has worked for what he's got, and I know how important that feeling is. To be honest, every personal issue I've ever had, I've always had the comfort of knowing I worked for what I have, where I am, and everything I ever will have. I am also very aware this is not the best mindset, to buckle down and refuse help from anyone, but that's also a product of not ever being proven wrong that people want to lord something over you when anything in your relationship goes wrong. I could go on and on about how Adam's relationship with his parents and his autonomy are always deeply personal to me. I guess I feel a sense of alienation and loneliness and being utterly unworthy or even capable of love on the level other people are, and that's a very early-Adam sentiment that hit close to home. Also, the theme of his not becoming his parents haunts me on a near daily basis and his arc in The Dream Thieves is sjbejjdjsjdwjje. As a side note, I also find the way he thinks and processes information and the people around synchronous with my thought processes. I'm largely analytical and methodical.

I'll also say, from a pure storytelling standpoint, Adam's journey in The Dreamer Trilogy (spoiler free as well as I can manage) demolished me because that's almost exactly what I've been coping with the last year or so. "I made a plan. I had a way out. I got it. This is not what I want. I am unhappy and don't know who I am and keep making parts of myself up to try and find it." There's a reason TDT is so valuable to me. I resonate with Adam's personal journey and his approach to his self identity, I'm just REALLY funny about it, because that's how I cope.

Speaking of being funny about it, it took me years to admit how much I related to Ronan. I know I just went off about Adam, but I've gotten the Adam comparisons a lot. It just makes sense to point out. Ronan, however, really drives home a very raw and emotional aspect to me, and it was one I didn't recognize until like... well like until I got hit with a particularly brutal depressive episode and spiraled to rock bottom. I realized a few months ago, in an incredibly dark place I don't take pride in dwelling in, that I was deeply unhappy with where I was in life. I remember just laying in my bed and staring at the ceiling and wondering what the point of anything was. I felt very empty, and gaping, and full of desire for something and I had no clue what it was. I would just tie this up neatly and say that I was Ronan's age while reading The Raven Cycle, and Ronan's age reading The Dreamer Trilogy and his mental health was almost beat for beat my own internal monologue and that was a very uncomfortable place for me to be, frankly. Ronan's mental health journey is so beautiful and intricate and complex and RAW. Like, wholeheartedly one of the best depictions of early adult malaise.

Anyway, let me direct your attention to this quote that has been a pervasive mantra in my life since I was blessed enough to read it: "calm down, Ronan, stop being needy, Ronan, get yourself together, Ronan, you're always the car crash, Ronan". Changed lives, actually. My life. Because what THE FUCK was that. I think there's an emotional intensity to Ronan I deeply feel in myself, and a tendency to feel everything at such an all-consuming level it bleeds onto others and it feels like too much. That idea of being needy, being out of control, of breaking everything, of existing and loving and causing grievance by being that way. And you cant change it, you can't do much to alter it, all you can do is find people who understand it and appreciate it. It's a very othering feeling, for lack of more sufficient terminology.

And I think this translates to how Ronan loves. And let me say, while I have the floor, seeing people APPRECIATE how Ronan is with people he cares about has been incredibly healing. I acknowledge that my approach to friendship (and relationships but I wont focus on that too long) which is with a single minded focus and relative intensity, is not the kind of friendship people enjoy (i was very kindly reminded of this not too long ago) nor do they want to be around it. Because Ronan throws himself into his friendships and his loves and his passions, and when he actually cares it is with such an intensity I remember reading it and just going "oh ok this isn't weird this is normal" because... I don't know. There's something very disorienting about viewing friendship (and i keep a very small but very close circle) and relationships as something worth protecting and preserving and not having that met in equal measure. It's such a beautiful trait of Ronan's and in a very roundabout way reading how he loves, is rewarded for how much he loves, and continues to love in such an earnest and shameless way is very healing for me. I've said time and time again that my favourite thing about Ronan is how he loves. I think it's easy to assume Ronan is all "pshaw, fuck everything" but at his core he is a kid who feels a lot and has been punished by the world for how and who he loves, and has been through tremendous loss and grief. Also, maybe the possessiveness upon which he approaches his circle rings a little true who knows. (I may or may not have been given the designated dog motifs and guess what I don't care i think it's funny). This is all too say, I've definitely had more therapy than Ronan does and I think I'm a lot healthier with my expression here than Ronan but uhhh yeah.

Side note that while my relationship with religion is not in any way the same as Ronan's, I do navigate a comfort and solice in my dalliance with catholicism. Here's another Ronan quote that hit close to home omg:

"Ronan gave in to the brief privilege of hating himself, as he always did in church. There was something satisfying about acknowledging this hatred, something relieving about this little present he allowed himself each Sunday."

Idk idk I don't view religion as a reason to hate myself but I definitely see it as an outlet. It's a complex little thing that brings me comfort. Idk i love Ronan's relationship with religion.

Anyway, I digress on the Ronan love. I think on artificial and intricate levels I resonate with Ronan and that has been a journey of self acceptance and acknowledging parts of myself I deeply dislike or carry shame towards. Or whatever. That could mean nothing. I also think driving someone's car is a very intimate act though that's very series-compliant and less a Ronan thing. Also miscellaneous habits and beliefs of his that upon my reread made me swear out loud because fuck writing "Ronan Lynch" on my list of characters who define me WASNT PART OF MY 2025 PLAN.

Anyway, to veer hard left to Henry fucking Cheng. This will be brief because I was never involved in the mafia. (As far as I know?) Nor was I ever held for ransom. No, but I heavily relate to Henry's brand of yearning for understanding, companionship, and the ability to express oneself in a sincere way. Henry Cheng I fucking love you. I cannot verbally express how much his "overfull on secrets and underfull on friends" sentence warped me. I will write him into everything I can because he deserves genuine friendship.

Alright alright alright this was a whole more than I intended. I wish I could apologize but I won't because it gave me the opportunity to ramble about Ronan, who metaphorically came up behind me and beat me over the head with his themes of growing up and grappling with your identity. Most character of all time. Also I got to talk about Henry a bit. And Adam, who I love. Which should've been the first sign I was Ronan aligned.

ANYWAY YOU SHOULD DO THIS EXACT THING BECAUSE I YEARN TO KNOW. Actually, if you read this (anyone I mean it) please drop an essay on the characters you relate to and why. OK, bye.

[kaoharu]

can i get a media recommendation sir papipupepode

yeas of course !!!!! i consume a lot of otome and joseimuke content mainly........ so i hope that is a-okay

my top media recommendation of all time aside from hatoful boyfriend is probably hanadoll. its a voice drama based music project that follows an idol group called anthos ! i have a more in depth explain post on it here c: i probably even have more floating around. i explain it a lot bc i love it so much Please ask me questions. or ask me to explain it again if you need me to even. stares at you with my large brown eyes

secondly. taisho x alice if youre into otome games. its about a girl name yurika arisu who has to save pathetic men in order to romance them and live happily ever after ^_^ it's split into four games, ep1-3 + epilogue (1-3 being $15 each and the epilogue $10 on steam) and its really awesome because yurika is cute and funny and a little bit insane but she just loves Very Much. ep 1 is very lighthearted so it might seem different from other things i will recommend but it. well. you have to play ep2 and beyond to see

third. is the sigmund corp series (idk if its actually called that. i just call it that) the first game is to the moon. its about a corporation (sigmund corp) that does "wish fulfillment" for people on their death beds via fancy tech that will allow them to create artificial memories. the first game you go through the memories of a man named johnny. its my favorite one of the series but the other ones are very awesome too if you end up liking it.

goooood afternoon skysword nation

[mosquitobible]

got any music recs? I’m a metalhead myself and I’m always looking for some more to listen to

Of course! Hmm it's hard to make recommendations cause I feel like my taste is pretty all over the place but I can name a few bands/albums that aren't just the same 10 metalcore bands that everyone (myself included) love and always recommend or the big name heavy metal bands everyone knows lol I'll name a few that I've been enjoying a bit more recently so they're at front of my mind lol.

One of my favorite favorite albums of the last few years is A Dark Euphony by Blackbriar. They're a sort of more alternative, gothic vibe. I listened to this album for the first time while binge reading a lot of fantasy novels lol if I had to describe what the sound of this album made me think of it's like a ghost bride who haunts an old pirate ship. Very haunting and beautiful sound with the heavier instrumentals is awesome.

Another album that I've been enjoying a lot is the band Moonspell's debut album called Wolfheart. They're another more gothic sort of sound, that album in particular having a sort of black metal sound vibe to it as well. Very vampiry vibes. I don't enjoy most of their newer stuff as much though but I haven't given it all enough of a listen to say it's not as good.

Probably like my top album this whole year is Knocked Loose's 'You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To' — literally an instant favorite album to me I wasn't actually a big fan of them before this album. I had seen them once live when they opened for Motionless in White and it was my first introduction to them and although I loved their energy and stage presence the songs didn't immediately stick out to me but this album absolutely sold me. The entire album is great it's just one banger after the other.

Uh a couple more rapid fire ones; Candlemass (doom metal), Paleface Swiss (death core), Kublai Kahn TX (metalcore), The Amity Affliction (metalcore), Left to Suffer (deathcore), are all a couple that I have a couple really songs from that have been in rotation as of late.

Sorry this reply ended up being a bit longer than I meant for it to be lol. And clearly I've been a bit more in the mood for more slow, dense and moody sounds lmao but maybe hopefully some of these are new to you and hopefully you'll enjoy some of them if you give them a listen. I would also be interested if you had any recommendations of your own!

[speakofthedebbie]

I think I genuinely broke last night. Like I went on a fucking tirade to no one but myself about how everyone's an ass nowadays and how in a world that's completely and thoroughly fucked it's not that hard to be a decent fucking human being. I'm not gonna post that insanity but just. Be kind guys. It takes 1% effort and makes this shitty world 100% better.

Love your character design! it’s super cool and stylized

thank you!!! I originally went to school for illustration but ultimately majored in fine arts. still, illustration is so important to me, so any time I can make a character out of silly shapes, I will!
