I legitimately don't want to think about who I'd be without She-ra. It was the only thing that kept me sane through the pandemic and health issues, yes, but I also met pretty much all of my friends through the fandom and I wouldn't have gotten back into writing without it. Writing is how I spend most of my free time and the thing that makes me feel like a person. Like nothing else I do or have ever done feels half as fulfilling as when people receive my writing with love and tell me how it touched them. I am a writer. That's a fundamental thing I was in high school but totally lost in college and my love of She-ra brought that back and shaped the trajectory of my last few years and possibly the rest of my life. There's so many amazing things to say about the show, but the anniversary kind of gave me the realization that this is not just a fandom for me but completely changed my life.
What are the 1.5 episodes of fringe that aren’t incredible television 😂
The first half of 1x02 'The Same Old Story' and the entirety of 3x13 'Immortality' because forced pregnancy plots are a crime that should be punishable by something that's even worse than death. Putting your hand into a sink full of wet bread, for example.
Anyway just some rambling about my tattoo appointment today.. my tattoo artist was the nicest guy.. I was sooo nervous, but he was so friendly that it just kinda went away immediately. Everyone in the shop was super friendly, there were two other artists and they kept coming over and complimenting my tattoo. And my tattoo artist kept bragging to them about how well I was sitting for mine 🤣 the guy getting tattooed on his bicep beside me was complaining so much lmao. Anyway just totally different vibes in the shop than I was expecting. It was so chill and fun.
Also through chatting I found out that my tattoo artist was obsessed with the band "from first to last" in high school, which was also my favourite band in high school. I thought that was funny. I don't hear too many people mention them.
The tattoo itself actually hurt a bit more than I was expecting 😶 it was okay at first, then during like hours 2-4 my arm went numb and I actually couldn't really feel anything 😬 then hour 4-5 was just fucking awful lol. My arm was so sore and going back over everything to do the shading then highlight was just brutal. Couldn't wait to be done and go home.
I've got a layer of saniderm on it now and it's all bloody and looks kinda gross.. so rip to showing my friends my tattoo tomorrow when we hang out lmao, I'm gonna just have to show a picture of it
sometimes it really is just about finding the form of media consumption that works for you and unfortunately that has meant my reading has been limited to such manga as the chicago public library system has or can acquire for me
ppl drawing comics being like ohh my story is so serious and psychological and about humanity and being alive and my characters are unique with their own unique problems (doesnt draw any fat people. draws 1 fat person and they are a cringe creep. draws 1 fat person and theyre a joke. only draws a few old people fat who arent important to the story nor meant to be cool or attractive. all the unique psychological philosophical characters are skinny and pale skinned. the most important ones are blond and blue eyed)
watching the anime because i can't concentrate enough to write but. no one's voice actors match how i picture them lmao. although sungwon cho is damn close and putting his whole dick into it so no complaints there
