Doodling scenes of cute story lore but they’re derived from song lyrics that’s on their playlist… part one of whatever

Hi! Good to see you below the chop. This is where the cool kids are.

Welcome to Stari explains star’s doodles. I love romance tropes in media, and I’m a sucker for pining! There’s something about the moments before confessions that warm my heart and make way for some tasty developments.

It’s like watching two colors mix and muddle and swirl until it finally begins to form a solid new hue from the paint of the universe.

Or something like that, I could write pages upon pages with the amount of things that the stage makes me feel, but I’m not here to type to the void about that! I’m here to bring it back to the story of this doodle. Ofc this is going off of SunnyTimeTown(AU)+Sunnyverse(My Story) lore.

For this particular scene Jack is of course on the telephone with Artemis, as this is something that he does very frequently/almost every night since they moved back to Cloudy Town. Operator, get me love on the line, haha…but seriously. They usually talk about everything and anything, but on that night it’s time they chatted about dating.

Jack’s no stranger to the dating scene. In fact, his failures of some dates ends up being the talk of the night many times. Sometimes it’s comedic or sometimes it’s moral support, but tonight it’s a bit different. Jack’s a little over the moon and head over heels in love crushing on a date that went pretty stellar, and for some reason Artie is not too excited about it as they thought they would be.

They normally don’t mind anything he has to say, but suddenly this brings a distaste to them that they can’t explain. She’s so perfect? How perfect is she if you just met her? Suddenly he’s speaking the words they don’t care to hear for the first time and they’re pulling the cords of the phone without noticing it.

Artemis, are you jealous of something?

thinking a little too much abt durge/orin sibling relationship rn. 🩸ft. my durge (briar, they/them)

[thekittyokat]

you ever just have a lot, a LOT of feelings all at once about a character and not even remotely enough words or brainpower to FORM the words to describe everything you're feeling. so it feels like you may explode. yeah

[sheryl-lee]

idk if this makes sense. but i kind of love that the last of us makes me cry and viscerally FEEL true emotions on a weekly basis. like i cant remember the last tv show i watched that had me consistently bawling my eyes out and so immersed in a show because of the characters, the story, the incredibly strong writing, etc. and it doesn't feel manipulative. it just feels profound and beautiful and poetic but also tragic and... human.

I love love love that they kept the same London house for Jamie between season 1 and season 3 but it does make me think about just how fast he got booted back to Manchester in season 1. Like absolutely he just would have had to leave things as they were and pack up a few bags and go. If he was renting it (which is very, very likely for a loanee, especially a loanee who didn't want to be there) he just had to... keep paying the rent and wait until the off season to organise moving out. Not that this is a problem financially or anything, that boy was making £50,000 a week at an absolute minimum. But he clearly never got around to it? And then he went on Lust Conquers All. That house was sitting there empty for I guess around over 6 months, until he came back to live in London in the October. He wouldn't have been staying there for London based away games, he would have been with the Man City team at a hotel. But I keep imagining him popping in during those trips and finding things he'd forgotten, or hadn't been able to pack in his rush - especially if he was upset when packing. Like one half of a pair of favourite trainers still under the bed? And every time he came back there, being reminded once again that he'd just made a happy home for himself at Richmond only to be, from his perspective, punished for too little too late, and kicked out.

Most of all, I keep thinking, did all his cute kitchen plants wither and die? Or did he drive back to Manchester with a box of potplants in the back seat of the Aston Martin? Both are terribly sad options.

The garden is also super cute through the windows of the main room. Did he pay the gardener to keep coming and maintaining it? Or did he come back to it all wild and overgrown after a summer of neglect?

I do wonder if he's still meant to be renting by season 3, or whether he's bought the place. If he was committing to a London property, it's interesting that he would make enquiries about buying the home he moved into as a presumably bitter loanee, rather than hand-picking something else. Makes me think about the relationship he had with the place, whether he actually likes it, or whether he just hasn't found the time yet to bother house hunting for something that he really does love. Either way, I hope he absolutely fucking fills it with plants.

i went to the beach with my family today and i brought dante bean along!!! so have the dumb doodles i did last night before going + pics i took today with regular sized dante(?) drawn over them :D

[citnamora]

I tried writing an analysis post on Dahlia Hawthorne like four times last night but every time I did another truck of ideas would hit me square on and I'd hit save draft to start another. Endless cycle. I cannot coherently articulate my thoughts without spiraling into another set of them. I just have a Lot of Feelings about her and Iris. At one point I also thought about April May and the interesting parallels between their sprites but that post was also saved as draft. So.. look out for those when they finally pop out, lol.

Masterlist of Fandom Playlists

as a neurodivergent person, i literally can’t write if the vibes of what i’m listening to isn’t on point, so i thought i’d share a few of my fandom playlists down below! some of them are specific to fics, others are certain relationships, some are purely vibes. i’ve included links to all of them, just click on the title. welcome to the chaos that is my mind

there was an idea

this one is just vibes tm. songs that i listen to when i’m picturing fights or action. i named it after the avengers because i liked the way it sounded, and i generally like the mcu’s music choices.

it's angst hours baby

these songs just put me in the mood to ruin someone's life.

ethereally eldritch

this one’s still under pretty heavy construction, but when it’s finished i want it to be a Danny Phantom inspired playlist that’s a bit spooky. i’m going for grungy, spooky, punk vibes.

i've learned to love falling

this one is a Dick Grayson character playlist. i just wanted to add some songs that remind me of him/his vibes. think abba, Britney Spears, and a little bit of punk pop.

i'm the most cutest girl in the world

a Paulina Sanchez playlist!!! i love her so much and i realized i didn't have many 'bad bitch' playlists, so it felt fitting. this is a lot of female artists, mostly pop and rap. however, i have thought about adding some 'bubblegrunge.' thoughts?

i’ve been bamboozled (into loving you)

an Anger Management (Jazz Fenton/Jason Todd) playlist <3 basically a lot of the songs that remind me of their relationship or that i think fit their vibes.

👑Space Princess💫

a Space Princess (Dani Phantom/Mar’i Grayson) playlist, because i am so soft for them. it’s a soft sapphic playlist that’s just as lovely as my favorite girls

🏹Trick Shot💘

i will admit, this one started off as Dani Phantom/Lian Harper, but at some point became more of a sapphic modern disco playlist. it still have light, fun vibes that i associate with them though.

👑 Crowns & Clowns 💗

now we’re getting into the fic specific playlists. this playlist is a BIG spoiler for my fic “The Princess and the Outlaws” so listen at your own risk. basically all the chapter titles for that fic are different Taylor Swift songs and they’re on that playlist. past those songs, we get into more vibes territory. this playlist in particular has a few different sections since it deals with the polycule Jazz Fenton/Jason Todd/Roy Harper/Koriand’r. the first section being chapter titles obviously, the next being songs about their relationship, then songs they would sing to/about their partners, then a girl power section because Kori and Jazz kick ass, and lastly non-romantic songs that give off their group vibes.

Blush Bobbin

this playlist is specifically for my fic "hitting pitch black streets with pink clad heart beats." it's mostly Panic at the Disco, Fall Out Boy, and Matt Maeson right now, but i want to add some more to it eventually. fun fact, i named the playlist that because a group of robins can be called a Blush or a Bobbin, among other things.

Bellflower Manor

this playlist goes along with a fic i'm cowriting called "Brides, Birds, and Batshit Family Matters." if you know, you know.

forgotten kids

this is a grungier Dani/Lian playlist for a fic i'm planning "Urban Legends are Warnings from the Dead." it's meant to be a bit spooky, a bit grungy, a bit hopeful---because what is Gotham if not full of hope?

Gotham Academy

this playlist is also specific to my fic “Wisteria” which is a dp/dc dark academia au. it’s a mixture between dark academia, dark forest, investigation, spooky, magical, grungy, gay vibes. it’s doing a lot right now, and i might go back and edit it sometime some.

❤️‍🔥let me show you power💋♟

this. playlist. okay, so it’s specific to the dp/dc leverage au i’m working on but bare with me. it’s punk, punk pop, angry feminine, anti-hero vibes. it’s about manipulation and being alluring, and falling in love somewhere along the way. i rather like this one as you can tell lol.

alt universe 

so, this playlist was actually made for a fic i started a long time ago “See the Light.” i’m not currently working on it, but i really like the concept so i’ll probably revisit it one day. it’s alternative, dark vibes, very much so focusing on the dark parts of the fic. it’s probably one of my favorite playlists i’ve every made, the songs just hit in or out of context.

🕊prettybird🌷

this playlist was made specifically for my very indulgent Batfam/Charmed (1998) au. it’s based on the main pairing of the fic, Dick Grayson/Melinda Halliwell. it’s a lot of love songs, pinning and accidently falling in love vibes, as well as a generous amount of ABBA. 

[quirkle2]

this post will be completely pointless but guys i fucki gng . i fuckin loveart ok

[saintchaser]

can’t for the life of me find a fic so black brothers angst after sirius runs away (maybe regulus snuck out to the potters in the middle of the night and showed up like the stork on their doorstep) please <333

regulus knew he should have not gone there. he knew what could have happened if he had gotten caught, he was fully aware. and still, he had gone, waiting, in the dead of the night, in front of the doorway of the potters. flowers and plants littered all around the house, painted a warm beige colour.

the house seemed welcoming, and, truly, like a home. maybe that was why sirius had decided to run away. maybe because he thought that the potters would be better to him than the noble and most ancient house of black would be. maybe he was sure of it.

he knocked on the door, and he instantly regretted his decision. he smoothed his jacket and his shirt, and he hopes he didn't look as pathetic and childish as he thought he did.

when the door opened, he was sure it was none other than fleamont potter. salt and pepper hair, dark brown eyes, deep and welcoming, and the same kind of wired glasses pushed up his nose. he was in casual, sleep attire; not like regulus had ever seen him before. but then again, regulus had never seen him before, and—

"hello!" fleamont greeted him, and regulus was surprised by the warm, honey-like thickness of his voice.

"hi," regulus said back, and he mentally scolded himself for the way his voice was shaking.

fleamont didn't ask anything; he just invited him inside, and it was exactly what regulus had and hadn't expected it.

he hadn't expected it, because he never thought he would have been invited into the house he considered not exactly a complete stranger, but not an acquaintance either. they had seen each other around the ministry building, fleamont smiling, as jovial as his son, while regulus' brows were almost always furrowed.

he had expected it, though, because he knew that that was exactly the kind of thing james would have done, too. he could almost imagine it; james, another boy, the better brother for sirius, regulus' brother, not james', welcoming him inside the warmth of his home, and sirius letting the dark and the cold of their house be a matter of the past.

he had expected it, because fleamont and james, much like euphemia, regulus presumed, were as warm as the sun. he had expected their home to be a reflection of their warmth, too. their house littered with pictures of james and their family (the only pictures of the black family hanging in their home were painting; dark, solemn, their eyes following regulus in every corner of his home), warm-toned furniture, and a strawberry pattern-covered armchair.

he, however, had not expected fleamont potter to offer him some tea.

"what flavour would you like?" fleamont asked, disrupting the course of thoughts flowing through regulus' head. "i fancy herbal tea most of all, but i am sure we should have forest fruit too. james loves that one."

regulus bit his lip. "herbal should be fine, thank you." he ignored the fact that is favourite was earl grey. he didn't want to be too much trouble, and, besides, maybe the potters didn't even like it, or have it, or—

"sirius mentioned you like earl grey," fleamont hummed, putting the kettle on the stove. "we also have that, if you want some."

right. sirius.

"that'd be lovely, thank you." he nodded politely. he watched fleamont moving around the kitchen, and he was surprise by how genuine he seemed in all of his actions.

regulus looked around the dining room again, now paying attention to the pictures on the walls. sirius was in some, too. the one on which his eyes lingered was the one with sirius and james, looking like they had taken a trip to florean fortescue's ice cream shop. their noses were stuffed in the cold desert, and the polaroid camera had caught their wide grins, alive happiness.

regulus wished he could feel like that too, someday.

"how have you been?" fleamont asked, setting the cups on the table and sitting down on a chair, indicating regulus to follow suit.

"oh, you know..." fleamont, in fact, did not know, and he would never. he shrugged, not know what to add.

"you know that you can come to stay here too, if you want to," the man said, quietly sipping on his tea. (he was not a slurper, thank merlin!) "i do not think sirius would mind it much, and the arrangements are not difficult to make, to say the least. we have a free guest room, if you'd like to stay. "

"no, thank you." regulus' tone came out harsher than he would have liked it to. "sorry. it's fine. i'm good, you do not have to worry for me."

fleamont nodded, his posture softening. "i'd certainly say it's nothing to worry about, showing up at our door in the middle of the night. not that i mind, of course," he added, looking at the boy's horrified expression, "but we don't have visitors much at this hour. it's usually marlene, but she's like a daughter to us."

"you're right. i'm sorry." (the older man waved him off, as if his showing up at his house was perfectly normal and not out-of-the-ordinary.) "it was definitely a rash decision on my part. i just wanted to check up on sirius, nothing more. i wanted to know he's alright, despite... our differences, so to say."

fleamont nodded again, empathetically. "of course. it's only natural to want to check up on your siblings. you know, i have a younger brother; he stayed home, while i came to britain, but we do keep in touch. i still care about him, despite our different ways of being and of behaving. what i'm trying to say..." he said, rubbing the bridge of his nose, as if forming words at that hour was difficult, "is that your worries and concerns are all normal. i presume he is asleep by now, but i could call him downstairs if you would want me to."

regulus shook his head, and he noticed how all of his tea had been drained out already. was he a nervous drinker? he'd rather not think about it. "no, it's fine, do not worry." he smiled politely. "and... thank you for this conversation. and for the tea."

fleamont smiled back. "of course. your night is safe with me." he said, putting his hands to his heart; a silent promise. "good night, regulus. i hope you sleep well. and remember, home will always have its door open for those who seek to find it."

SebaCiel for the ask game!

Yaaaay my blorbos!!!

1. what made you ship it?

I started shipping it when I was like 12 and really into black butler, stopped thinking about it for years then all of a sudden I started shipping it again. I don't really know if I have a reason, Sebastian is one of my favs and I wanted to ship him so naturally he went with Ciel. I also started shipping him with will, grell, claude, and everyone else under the sun but ciel has always been #1 because there's a lot of content for those two. Shipping gives me the happi chemicals so I do it a lot.

2. what are your favorite things about the ship?

I like when one character can scoop another character up. I also like butlers. They have a lot of drama between them with the whole uncaring demon about to eat human thing so it's fun. I normally disregard canon because canon makes me sad and that's not what I'm in this business for so I think they can have a lot of fun slice of life moments. Ciel tries to become competent and Sebastian laughs. Ciel following Sebastian around the manor. Good Food.

3. what is an unpopular opinion you have about the ship?

I've always seen people that get upset when they're made to have a happy relationship and I've never gotten it. Like yeah black butler is a tragedy but someone enjoying fluffier content in fanfiction doesn't erase that. I've never been the kind of person that ships because it made sense or because of any interesting dynamic or anything of Substance. Like yeah sure they have a very interesting dynamic and tons of substance which is perfect for people who are into that, that was never part of the allure for me though.

Any time I like a character enough to ship them they are not in canon. In my canon pain is not real. If they feel discomfort it is temporary. I am disconnected from the discomfort and therefore they are too. Unhappiness as it stands in any sort of canon or in real life literally does not exist in my world. That may sound really boring to someone who actually enjoys plot but for me I think it's a weird coping mechanism. They don't fight, they're joint at the hip, Ciel is always being carried and noone gets sad until I am BORED and need to FEEL SOMETHING.

That being said I don't even think of them in canon when I think of them. I don't even think of them in any sort of au. They're literally in a curated world with all the other characters I like at the time and they're in my little brain tv show I've been curating since I was like 10 that I use to make me giggle sometimes.
