fuck dude I'm so sad tn . anyway jack doesn't know how to grieve ... both his parents died when he was too young to grieve ... he didn't understand that was how it worked yet . when jack lost his father, he just kept moving ... that's what he always told him to do. 'don't worry, my boy, don't worry. just keep moving. never stop moving, boy. you hear me?'
jack keeps moving. he moves and moves and moves until Davey stops him like a brick wall. one night, davey hugs him just right and jack dissolves. all of a sudden, davey feels tears soaking through his shirt, and feels jack sob. he hugs jack tighter . everything rushes back to jack. the warmth of his little bedroom, his dad's cooking. he never knew his mom, but his dad was better than jack thinks a mom could have ever been.
all of a sudden, jack realises that his father is gone. forever. he died almost 9 years ago.
and fuck, jack never stopped moving for long enough to realise.
Hello Newsies Tumblr! Here I am, once again, with more LEGO Newsies! Firstly, I think I'm going to be calling it formally "Newsies: The LEGO Stop Motion Musical" because I think it's cute and gets the point across. Secondly, here's a part of Santa Fe because @yepthisiskay ask for some LEGO Jeremy Jordan and I must deliver what the people want. Please enjoy!
Quicklings, the speedsters of the fey realm! 2 ft (61 cm) creatures, they essentially experience the world in slow motion. They move and think so fast they look like a blur, and just cannot stop moving in some way. They're like if the flash was also extremely ADHD and a bit of a dick. Like they don't kill people or whatever, but they do mess with people to instigate fights and drama out of boredom. So you need something to entertain them, but I don't think I need to explain how "vibrating so fast they're a living blur" could be a benefit.
...also I love that the lore is just "Their archfey got mad that they kept showing up late and wasting her time, so she shrunk them and hit the fast forward button on thier existence." Like they didn't used to be 2 foot tall with a 15 year lifespan, she apparently just has life's remote control.
i love how undertale's fourth wall breaks and metanarrative work to make you sympathize more with the in-game characters. it'd be so easy to use that concept to make them seem more 'real' somehow or simply lean on the horrific side of this (and that concept did play a big part in the narrative) but ultimately, what undertale strives to do is to make you really, really care for these characters while always reminding you of their decidedly fictional nature, because you don't need to forget that in order to appreciate the game for what it is
so, I used to think I was just a hater about it since I only just watched a let's play of it shortly after it came out, but after watching A Face Full of Eyes' analysis of it, I did kind of solidify my thoughts more. I still haven't played it, so I guess I can't say for certain I absolutely hate it, but... i guess I just don't see what all the hype is about. i understand the technical achievements, those are cool. the idea of how the dialogue is super reactive is cool too, i guess. it just, does not excite me in any way at all. the more i see of it the more i wonder why everyone gushes about it so much. now, i do want to say the mystery fakeout has kind of grown on me, i know that's a common "gamer" criticism. it's just everything else feels kinda "eh, it's fine i guess" to me. and i like so-called walking sims! i know i should play it if i really want to know for sure if i like it or not but i just feel absolutely no urge to! it confounds me in many ways.
I am caught on the self indulgent idea of Jaheira and Halsin and hair combing and braiding, but particularly extending their services to Tav and the gang.
love your zines! what’s your method for sewing across the paper? before/after binding? does your machine like it? i’ve always wanted to try it!!
thank you! my zines are the one-sheet type so there's no binding involved. i start sewing into it after i've made my folds and the centre cut. i try not to stitch across pages to reduce stress on the folds, but tbh it hasn't really been an issue so far. otherwise it's pretty straightforward. my machine isn't that great, but doesn't throw too much of a fuss as long as i'm not going through too many layers or thick material.
my machine is also on the smaller side, so i have to fold it and manoeuver it around to get to the middle pages especially. this is what working with a4 looks like for me... if your machine is bigger, i'm sure you'll have no problem!
i don't really have many tips because idk much about sewing machines at all, i'm honestly just crossing my fingers everytime. uhh increase your stitch length. any holes you make are permanent. sewing paper dulls your needles faster
as a little girl, i was the very picture of miss all-america. i was a cheerleader, i was a dancer, i played guitar, i thought i was gonna be the next taylor swift even before taylor swift actually debuted
and so when i got excited, i physically spun and danced and did jazz hands and jumped spontaneous herkeys
that is to say:
I FUCKING STIMMED!
THIS IS WHAT STIMMING IS
HOLY HELL OH MY GOD THAT FLEW UNDER THE RADAR FOR 28 GODDAMN YEARS BECAUSE I WAS A GIRL??????
jesus christ. i guess all it takes to stop being missed is to ditch gender and go to therapy for something completely unrelated for girls to autism diagnoses!!!! if key components of the presentation of autism are fucking gender conforming for white american femininity like. what does that even mean.
this has been brought to you by: i got a comment on a fanwork and jumped off the couch and started spinning and doing jazz hands, as one does, and it hit me like a motherfucking freight train
