+ silly sketches

Me staring at test results: It makes so much sense for her, but if I don't specify or elaborate, then we end up with the fanon take. Ugh, how do I easily explain that if you look at the word 'sex' through a much more old-fashioned lens instead of the modern one, that you'll get a vastly different picture of it?

Look I respect the art of past ages, but it's the 21st century and personally I'd like to see less depictions of the Greek Muses as ethereal sexually objectified fairy women, and more art of Thalia doing stand-up

What chat got to witness during the elf's first (and last) workout stream:

She is starting to thinks that the chat saying jeans are good for squats was a lie...!

Apart from upper body surgery, Roman didn't require much else to maintain such a masculine figure. When he was dropped as a baby, the resulting fall damaged the pituitary gland in his brain, causing his growth (and aggression levels) to go haywire the day he hit puberty. Before then he remained a very small child, one easily pushed around by his parents but remembering every strike, every insult and slap he suffered at their hands until he was old enough to fight back. It came as a nasty shock to Mr. and Mrs. Sionis when the child they resented for years as being slow, ugly and unfeminine seemingly transformed overnight into an uncontrollable monster hellbent on tormenting them at every opportunity.

I just want Eddie to be able to change his clothes and take a warm shower and have a good night’s sleep and a hot meal. 🥺🙏🥺

Catching up on Monument Mythos and forgot just how fucking funny some of the things in this series are:

• George Washington is an eldritch being living in the center of the earth

• Crab ship crab ship crab ship look at him go

• James Dean is Satan

• An offshoot being from eldritch George Washington(?) is Superman, Jesus, and a moon god

• Nixon endorses shooting houses

• A baby trapped in this sort've in-between world grows up to be a tree-esque monster and hangs out with the mirror image of his mom

• Elon Musk has a bunch of giant decapitated head things working in his mine on Mars and unleashes a serpent monster

• Rod Serling tries to talk Vice President James Dean out of murdering a teenager

• An amalgamation of the bodies of fallen soldiers, a father and daughter whose souls live in a badass statue, and the aforementioned tree-esque monster vibe together and save the world

and my absolute favorite that never fails to crack me up

• Richard Nixon is a fucking god and he's chilling on the moon

some modern verse tid bits , verse correlates with the heartsteel universe. ( look under cut for timeline )

> gifted kid but pressured into it , parents had very high expectations of him. > closeted gay , knew they would not approve at all. > rebellious goth kid lmao. > found music during high school & used it as an escape / outlet for the amount of shit he was going through. > met shen somewhere around this time & they sort of became close , was zed's first " crush " other than you know usual teenaged oh this famous person is hot. > zed & shen do the music thing together & zed teaches him guitar , they purchase zed's first actual guitar together. > his parents find out he's dedicating more time to music than his studies & lose their shit , breaking his guitar. > he leaves home & doesn't touch music for a hot minute , shen sort of nudges at him but he's almost afraid to touch his guitar. > still wanting to be fiercely independent he starts working with some underground music artists , which leads to some bad decisions involving drugs & alcohol. > his new outlet leads to tension between him & shen & they eventually end up falling out which is entirely zed's fault & he pushed him away on purpose. > it's during this time that he meets & becomes close with kayn , they are both going through it tm. > mid twenties zed sort of begins dragging his ass out of the slump , ends up making friends with some better people , does some album art for them on the side which opens up a new creative outlet. > he really gets into design & ends up seeking out a tattoo apprenticeship. > gave the guitar shen gave him to kayn , it's very emotional , telling him to treasure the music he makes & the people it connects him to. ew sappy. > he dedicates himself to tattooing & by the time he's around 30 he's working independently ( this is where he is at by the time kayn joins heartsteel & they stop seeing each other. ) > he still loves shen. ( knows how it feels to have feelings for ur bandmate looking @ u kayn and ez. )

sorry everyone I'm Normal Again I think

tbh I have like, weirdly complicated history with Ghiralink because "I was there Gandalf" but I can get into that context later, rn I'm tired and finally have the correct meds so maybe I can be less intense on main without putting myself in designated grass-touching time-outs after every post

Hey, I saw you changed your username! I just wanted to say I thought it was a lovely sounding name! /gen

Sorry for the late reply, but thank you! Very much so!!

Honestly, I expected to change my username and drop that post for anyone to see and it to be just another drop in an ocean, completely and entirely ignored. Especially since I so very rarely have posted anything myself on here, on my blog, and have gotten no attention before.

But it's pretty nice to see a few people like the post, even reply back about it. So thank you for sending a message! It's very much appreciated.

As for the username, I've just never fully felt alright with Vexchief. I liked the concept I was going for then (a mixture of Vixen and Mischief smashed together, but because I didn't like the look of Vixchief, I changed the first i to an e) but I never liked how it seemed that anger defined me via Vex. Mischief and Anger. I didn't like that.

And in real life, I've just- *A very long sigh...* A long terrible story, but my life has not been great. A hell not of mine own making that I've been stuck in my whole life, and have been trying to get myself out of no matter what. But when I try, it's never seemed enough. Not anything close to enough. And especially these last few years since Covid happened (didn't get it, just life stuff that happened around the same time), I've just been like a boat lost at sea, adrift. And if I tried to move, to leave my situation, it's only felt like I've gone in a circle, like I'm just chasing my own tail, going nowhere.

("All things that lose their way can find it again. There is no inertia in the ocean.")

Sailsunfurled is I suppose my own declaration to myself. I feel like things are truly different this time around. (Maybe? Or maybe not and I'm just delusional. But I have to think that everything before, every attempt has helped me get to this point.) So it's me saying I am letting down the sails, and I am going to journey forth, once and for all. This is it, this the attempt. I will make it work. I will get out. And I will live. And I will be okay. (Okay, it's certainly a bit delusional. But I feel like at this point I'm just a bit desperate for it to work.)

Anyway, long story short, Adrift has been stuck in my head, haunting me ever since I first heard it. And lately I've had some little obsession of a thought of a boat, a sail. (I might have delved a little into some sea shanties the other day lmao.)
