I found this weird sticker in my grandma's basement...does anybody know what this is from?

Based on this poster:

[garvalhaminho]

actually the big difference between the carstairs and the herondales is NOT 🙅‍♀ that the herondales think to love is to destroy and the carstairs love until it detroys them, no, it is that the carstairs go from friends to kinda lovers to desperate to actual lovers and the herondales go from oh my god i secretly love you to situationship to i'd sacrifice everything i am to save you to oh my god i love you *biggest cartoon heart eyes you've ever seen*

i have to say seeing how popular jem is now, knowing he hasn't always been, is SO reassuring and relieving. not because other characters aren't great or have good values, but because it means jem's standout qualities – things like kindness, compassion, gentleness, being thoughtful – are being appreciated and seen as more important and that's SUCH a good thing. especially knowing ya's history of pushing forward the toxic-cocky-mysterious bad boy agenda… we're finally putting qualities like kindness above that, which is a really positive step forward. i know it's more nuanced than this, and tsc's characters are far more nuanced (jem's sole trait isn't being kind, for instance) but he wasn't always appreciated this much and as a longtime jem fan i truly love to see it. i grew up reading books where the mc always went for the mysterious bad boy character – ruder, testy, provocative – and often these characters were more popular because being kind was seen as 'boring' or meant you could only ever be in the friendzone. jem was one of the first characters i read who had this really horrible backstory, but throughout everything was genuinely just kind. it's really wonderful to see so many people appreciating that :)

i swear to god gaster isnt the mysterious mastermind behind the scenes of anything he CANT be, the world of deltarune is a PARALLEL WORLD more possibly a MIRROR WORLD, literally so many things have been flipped or swapped from undertale, IF gaster is in fact in deltarune i bet hes just gonna be a Normal Man. if hes in deltarune at all.

i think that someone else entirely has taken the role of "mysteryman" and i think that character is dess. the person who is likely the "lost girl". shes missing. and there are hidden monologues in the code that could be speculated to be her (i saw those here). this obfuscated existence that can only be discovered if you pry into the actual code of the game is so gaster-like... but its clearly not him. its someone else.

the constants between the world of deltarune and undertale mostly are consistencies in characters' personalities and Who the character is. however whats notably different in deltarune are the roles and placements these characters are in now.

its purely based on pattern and conjecture but i dont think gaster would reprise his role to be the same kind of ~mysterious figure~. we already have a mysterious figure that haunts deltarunes narrative. i think its definitely possible that whatever happened to dess is connected to gaster but i dont think the connection is direct as if he were the mastermind pulling the strings. i think they could be connected in the sense that the events that led to her disappearance parallels gasters disappearance.

in short i think that dess is the "gaster" of this world. victim of circumstance that caused their existence to vanish into the very code of the game. how deep the parallel goes we have yet to see.

Headcanoning that Chiaki's like, really good at giving romantic advice by accident, but when it comes to her own feelings she is like, so fuckin bad at expressing them

JERRICA BENTON?!?? IS THAT YOU????? 😱😱

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

victoria/demeter split track sounds like the most INSANE show ever, I’d give anything to see that oh my god

Jem working for more than a hundred years and still being a victim of inflation was not on my bingo card 💀

[realjem-art]

Here's to year 5 of the annual birthday drawings! finished within 3 minutes of my birthday being over... (its okay i was busy)

All the previous years under the cut!

^ These are both from 2021! I made one in like 3 minutes in mspaint and then decided to remake it in procreate in 6 minutes instead

^ this is from 2022! much heavier improvement in art between those years! still a lot of things to work on but we'll get to it eventually! it's my first year of drawing for Real

^ from 2023! outfit here was inspired by my real life outfit i wore that day! this one is WAY different for the rest cause i was really really in that phase of doing more painting things lol...

^ aaand from 2024! last years! i... really didn;t have a lot of energy for this one, AND it was done late 😔 but oh well. we age

My Little Pony Generation 4 (G4) x Jem and the Holograms

Rama Llama created with use of this base found here. The collar was created with use of one of the Sadle Arabian Ponies from G4 My Little Pony All Characters and Likeness belong to (c) Hasbro

Should I do more crossover base edits like this one?

Kit: Ohh, I get it now. The demons are a metaphor for bisexuality. Jem: What? No- I mean, kind of,

[cetaitlaverite]

Millie and Jem are gonna lose their goddamn minds when they find out Freddie and Rosie eloped and I am SO excited

they absolutely are. millie in particular is FUMING that she wasn’t invited as maid of honour. she’ll be somewhat placated at the promise of securing the job for the ‘proper’ ceremony but she wanted the real one too 😤😤😤

[real-reulbbr-band]

the queen herself, victoria (character ask)

Oh, the most wonderful girl thank you!!

Why I like them

Her solos are some of the most mesmerizing parts of the show for me, and I would love to see them live. There's just this softness and grace about her that's very comforting.

Why I don’t

The entire 2019 Mr. Mistoffelees number was unbearably cringy for me as much as I like the film but particularly when she started singing. It was giving disney zombies....

Favorite episode (scene if movie)

I have three.

One of my first favorite scene is actually from Warsaw where she's dancing with the stars. It really goes back to her connection to the moon that nobody else seems to have.

Alternatively, I love this scene where Jemima wants to approach Grizabella and brings Victoria along with her, and Victoria hesitantly looks back but decides to go along with Jem. They both scatter off when Jenny forbids them from touching Grizabella but I love how it nods back to how they're two half's of a hole.

And of course, one of the softest parts in the show for me and in my opinion one of Victoria's best moments.

Favorite season/movie

I Like Victoria in all versions of cats' media!! even when she's less prominent like in shiki. But for favorites I'll say standard version, 2019 film and broadway revival.

Favorite line

We're doing 2019 for this since Victoria doesn't have any solo lines.

"But at least you have beautiful ghosts."

I know a lot of people don't like this song and the criticisms for it and Victoria's character are fair, but I do think this sort of naive condescend-Iness works as a flaw for her. She doesn't mean harm, she want's to cheer up Grizabella and show that they're similar but ends up making Grizabella still feel isolated just like the jellicles.

Favorite outfit

I've grown to like the white / gold Victoria costume quite a bit but here's some designs I'm fond of:

OTP

Ah, ok so I've been convinced a little but don't be mad please. 2019 verse and standard stage verse is with Rumpleteazer but revival verse is with Plato. I don't why or how that happened either but yea I hope that makes sense.

Brotp

Mistoffelees recently, but mostly with Jemima. Again, two halves of a whole.

Head Canon

She worries a lot about injuries since she's aware about how delicate bones are and how a significant injury could hinder her dancing. So, she tends to watch her surroundings and positing more carefully than others.

Unpopular opinion

Hypothetically, I wouldn't mind if more non-reps went the warsaw/shiki route and didn't have Vitoria do a pas de deux but instead had a different solo involving the stars/moon.

A wish

More non-replica's to go all out with her design. Really emphasize the ballerina part of her look.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen

probably losing her connection to the Jellicle moon, if she can't feel it at all she'll probably panic and assume something's wrong. If you want to look at it from a monochromatic sibling's angle, then she would've lost the one thing that made her "special" in comparison to her brother.

6 words to best describe them

HER WORDS they're perfect

Innocent, Romantic, Unselfconscious, Young, Inhibited, Inquisitive

My nickname for them

Again, I don't use character nicknames. But Vic<3

PJO Chalice of the Gods Rant

please explain to me why Percy Jackson, who was literally called a Hero of Olympus by the Greek gods themselves, who did missions while considered a leader of Camp Jupiter (part of the admin, not the overall leader), who’s been training/fighting for years, who has an obvious reason (his important parentage) why he kinda can’t go to normal uni…

why does he of all demigods need a letter of rec to go to New Rome University?

Moreover, even if he needs one as a judge of his character…why doesn’t Artemis write him one* considering all he’s done for her specifically?

& are we saying that every demigod needs a letter of rec? Does it have to be from a god?

*I wanted to pick gods who 1) are explicitly shown to respect Percy & 2) gods he’d clearly helped out. He saved Artemis in The Titan’s Curse.
